of the play is lost just by a single
player failing to come through.
And this is what we're stressing in
our practice sessions now. BY re-

"And when October comes

what was the matter with
Jack sharkey down there in
Miami?
asharkey's showing was ter
rible."
"sharkey fought like a novice"
"Sharkey showed no general
ship, no real punching power and
no defense"
So much the newspaper men
said. .
Sharkey's expIanatiOn-and
he conceded that his fistic
tactics needed . defense
was:
"I was so crazy anxious to
finish that Scott in hurry-do
it with one punch II possible
that I Just kept tearing into him.
throwing punches from any
angle and without accuracy"
But newspaper and other ex-
perts do not string along with
Sharkey. They feel that the
bout showed he was slipping
from the heights due mainly TO
what they called too mucn
loafin.."
Jack has loafed a bit-but I
can't regard it as loafing that
would spoil him. He has been
fighting twice a year, keeping
fit all the time. indulging in no
excesses, and living clean life.
He is never out of fighting con-
dition. So the "loafing" charge is
out, so far as see it.
/ rather think that Sharkey
was giving the folks the real
IOw-down when he said he
was Over-anxiouS. He figured
Scott was the sOftest thing
ever served up to him. His
idea was that Scott couldn't
take any solid punch and
stand up.
Sharkey was eager for the
glory of putting away the En-
glishman in Spectacular fashion.
But Scott was clever enough to
gauge the swings Of Sharkey and
make him miss.
There are fears among some
who look to Sharkey to keep the
title in the U. S. A.. that he has
slipped and that Schmeling will
find him easy. don't think so.
Sharkey is a mighty good fighter
when he controls his temper and
his eagerneSS, and uses the calm
cunning that is his. Slarkey, who
perhaps .ot the idea that he was
a killer" because he stopped
Loughran, learned from the Scott
fight that wild rushing isn't al
ways the thing to- do.
1t taught him q good lesson.
And You don't need to teach
Sharkey more than once.
He will fight differently-far
better against Schmeling. don't
know how good Schmeling is. Nor
does Sl1arkey. But Jack won't
reckon that he's q sucker" as he
did Loughran and Scott. He will
be in there fighting with his head,
as well as his arms and legs.
II Sharkey disappointed the
Americans by his showing against
Scott I feel sure he will redeem
himself completely against Schme-
lling-unleSs Schmeling is super
fighter. And I don't think he is.

NEW YORK, September l7.-Charles
H. Tuttle has announced his resigna-
ton as United States attorney for the
southern district of New York in a
statement urging repeal Of the eight
zenith amendment.
AS substitute for the amendment,
he advocated a constitutional guaran-
tee outlawing the saloon system and
private traffic in liquor and giving the
Federal Government full power to assist
in enforcement in those States which
desire to retain prohibition
He advocated State control, sale and
distribution of liquor in those States
which desire TO go wet.
Strict Enforcement Urged.
Pending legal action, he urged strict
enforcement of the eighteenth amend
ment, and the Volstead act with full
use in New York State of the nuisance
law to abolish plague spots of the
liquor traffic"
Mr.. Tuttle said his resignation had
been forwarded to President Hoover to
take effect at his pleasure and not later
than November Is.
In his formal statement futile said
and did not wish to be considered in
that respect.
The statement was given out after he

candidate for Governor and his position

on the liquor question has been awaited
with interest by party leaders.
In his statement Tuttle said: while
temperance, as an aid to the moral and
economic progress of our country, is
desired by all, no one is or could be
satisfied with things as they are under
national prohibition.
1.-THE good in national prohibition lies
in its outlawing of the saloon and the
saloon system, and in its grant to Con-
gress Of power to cooperate internally
within the States that maintain pro-
hibition system.
THE evil in national prohibition lies
largely in the compulsion sought to be
placed upon States which do not desire
the prohibition system.
This system / believe, should be
eliminated fro mthe Constitution"

ALBANY, N. Y, September I7.-Per-

terday's primary election than the at
titude Of the various candidates toward
the wet and dry controversy.
Democratic aspirantS for congress
sional and legislative nominations were
not embarrassed by the prohibition
question, as all of them are wet.
On the Republican side, however
prohibition was an issue in the anti
primary campaigns, but the results Of
the balloting indicated that the cleo
torate generally supported candidates
backed by the party organization of
those who we're seeking remnomination.
regardless Of their attitude toward pro-
hibition.
An exception was noted in the for

reSentative s. Wallace Dempsey chair

mittee of the House, was defeated for
Republican denomination by Walter
Gresham Andrews. Dempsey was
charged by his opponent with not hav-

ton question. Andrews was an aVowed
enemy OF the eigI zenith amendment.
In the thirty-fourLh district, along the
dry southern tier Of counties, Harold
S. Tolley, dry, who was supported by
a number of reform organizations, was
unsuccessful in his fight to prevent
the denomination of Representative
John D. Clarke, Republican.
Tolley, in his campaign, referred re-
peatedly to q reputed declaration of
Representative Clarke that his personal
views regarding prohibition did not
matter so long as he voted dry In ac-
cordance with the wishes of the cleo
tors in his district. Jolley also main
