SHARKEY DOMINATES SCENE
Directors Believe Risko Cam

Entertaining
BY ALAN GOULD

Miami, Fla, Feb. 18.-R)-It's the
same old moon, the same old palms
and the same arena, with improve
ments and q new location, but it is q
different show, with new works and
music, for the second annual battle
of Miami.
A good deal Of the melodrama Of
1929 is missing. Tex Rickard is Just
a memory now and SO r most of his
me-honored methods. No individ-
ual figure is cutting the glamorous
figure that Jack Dempsey did in
putting over last years winter heavy
weight carnival. In short, the fan
tasy and novelty that preceded the
Sharkey- Stribling fight is completely
absent.
No Sentimental Appeal
It Is strictly a fight show and a
business proposition this winter minus
sentimental appeal. It is q bigger
show, from the standpoint Of actual
tonnage displacement of the partic-
ipants, exclusive of the battle royal
that opened the 1929 festival.
Whether it is a better show, remains
to be determined by actual events In
the ring. The promotion board Of d.
rectors, headed by Frank j. Bruen
and William F. Carey, thinks it will
be, based on the idea that II Jack
Sharkey and Phil Scott do not fur
nish any excitement In the man bout.
Johnny Risko and Victorio Campolo,
the semi-final combatants, will.
Financially, the venture is already

Sharkey easily dominates the pre-
liminary scenery, without any such
competition a he had from the Strib-
ling family circus last year. None of

An air Of pessimism has spread through the camp of followers Of the New Britain Gas Co.,, team today as the management is making deter mined efforts to have Johnny Shcc- han in the lineup when the GascoS play Russell (; Erwin tonight in the Industrial Basketball League at the Tabs hall.
 Johnny has been engaged 10 ref cree the Conn. Light X Power games in this city tonight. Manager Jnl Lynch is trying 10 secure q referee for the games so that his star will he able 10 play at the Tabs. For tun2tely the Gascos are playing the first game and it may be possible for Sheehan to take part in that con- test and then run 10 the Stanley Arena to referee the second of the Conn. Light games Thus he would be player and referee in one night.
 With Sheehan out of the lineup the Gascos woud be weakened con- siderably. He is the strongest of fensive cog on the team and his mates would enter the game under q handicap without him. If he does not play. his place will probably be taken by Johnny Mccormick. Nc Cormck Is good player but he has not been used to playing before large crowds and this handcaps his work.
 The EussHin team will have 10 win tonight if it wants to keep pace

 Sponsors. of the meet announc21 last night that Barbuti had asrec1 to race either in a sprint series of 60 and 70 yards or in a special 5Jo yard run.
 Under the circumstances it ap- pears more likely that the former Syracuse star will compete in the sprints rather than the longer run.

One Of the interested spectators at 'Ne roller hockey game at the Stan Icy Arena last night, was Wild Hjll" Duggan. one of the flashiest for wards in the game. Bill has been rendered hors de combat because of fire in his smoke shop in Taunton last Sunday mornnG.
 Bill has been assigned to .Amster- dam 10 play with Steve Pierce but, 70 far he has been unable 10 report. He hasn't any equipment at the prcs- ent time.
 New Britain fans were surprised 70 see Barney DohcrtN in the Albany incnp last night He took the place of Fcrdic IIarIlins at center. Hark ns received Il bad les injury in game night and although at first it was thought that he would be able 10 play hcrc, an examination by q phy- aican yesterday pronounced him un- fit for service right away.
 Albany goes 10 Hartford 10 play tonight and if the Indians win. they will be back in tie fer first place with New Britain.
 The Panthcrs and Indians will meet in tNo-Gamc battle Sunday and Monday. Because of the fact that Hartford threw over q Sunday date n defcrcncc to New Britain last Sun day, the New Britain managers agreed 10 go 10 Hartford to play this coming Sunday. Hartford will return here Monday night.
 If the panthcrs can defeat Hart rord on the Hartford rink. they will be sitting pretty as far as the sec ond half championship is concerned. The Panthers arc pretty sure to top pie the Indians at the Stanley Arena but the local team hasn't been able 10 defeat Hartford yet on Hartford S home floor.
 These two battles arc being hailed as the best two scraps in the league Tn recent weeks. Hartford wants to win almost as badly as does New Britain and both teams will be bat Hing every minute to keep in the Icud.
 NcW Britain is just half game ahead of Hartford after last nights battle at the Stanley Arena. Yester- days standing was evidently ballcd up by tho official league statistician because New Britain today should be q full game ahead of Hartford.
 The league managers will meet again Monday afternoon 10 discuss tho closing dates of the league. Tho Hartford manager abandoned the project yesterday but the Hartford tnan will keep on going under the supervision of tho league.
