CERTAIN
Of EARLY
VICTORY

ORANGEBURG, N. Y, May 80.
Jack Sharkey has never been so
sure of a thing in all his life.
He says:
"T'm going to knock out
Max SchmeIing In one round,
now"
You know, Jack sharkey holds
a natural aversion to making
predictions Of any kind. OF all
the boxing scribes he has come
to know there are perhaps only
three or four he would think OF
taking into his confidence ana
divulging his real ideas OF
forthcoming fight.
Sharkey showed how he feels
about making pre-fight state
ments here not long ago when
movietone men asked him to
speak q piece before the record
ing instruments. He said simply
that he would not predict the
outcome but would do his utmost
to win.
Those close to Sharkey, how.
ever, have many times during
the past two weeks heard him de-
clare what he hopes to do to
Max Schmeling when he gets
him in the ring.
When Jack came here to
train about 18 days ago ne
cOnfided to a newspaper
friend that he thought it
would take him about five
rounds to finish Schmcling.
Sharkey has since altered that
prediction to his intimates. Last
Friday night he visited New York
for the purpose Of viewing the
AL Singer Fernandez fight
at Madison Square Garden. He
was introduced before the main
go and received the greatest ova-
ton of his life.
It has been Sharkey's conten-
tion that almost to man the
American public will be behind
him to whip Max Schmeling and
thereby retain the world heavy
weight title for this country.
That was proved to him at Madi-
son Square Garden that night,
and as he left the building in
company with his manager,
Johnny Buckley, he seemed like
a man who had been suddenly
imbued with new and finfinite
life.
Buckley saw him walk with a
new step. gleam the light of
new ambition in his eye and
heard him talk enthusiastically
about his fight as never before.

CLOTH ATTACKS
CONTEMPT"

ARLINGTON COUNTY, Va,
Sept. 13.-Judge Walter T. Nc
Carthy yesterday took under ad-
visement the petition Of william
c. Cloth, Commemorative attor-
ney for Arlington county, that
he be cleared of the charge of
contempt of the court in not pay
ing alimony to his wife.
Cloth, who stopped paying his
wife alimeny after she shot him
on March Z, 1928, had attempted
to have the decree of divorce,
which was obtained on July Z
1925, changed on the ground
that Mrs. Cloth had conducted
herself in such a manner as to
excuse him from continuing to
pay alimony. But the Virginia
Court Of Appeals, where the pro-
ceeding took place, sent the case
back to the Arlington County Cir
cult Court because Cloth was in
contempt, not having paid ali.
mony since the date of the
shooting.
The petition which was entered
yesterday by Cloths attorney.
John s. Barbour, asked that the
charge of contempt be lifted
without Cloth paying the back
alimony. The petition was also
based on an injunction which
restrained the Citizens National
Bank of Alexandria from selling
securities which Cloth had placed
there to secure Mrs. Cloth her
regular payments.
Leslie C. Garnett, formerly as
sistant. United States Attorney,
appeared for Mrs. Cloth and en-.
tered a demurrer.

I declared as follows:
"The World Court is the

The Old World diplomats re.
wrote these reservations. The
greatest power for world peace
is the strength Of this republic,
and any alliances which have
the remOtest possibility Of

lieve, and they have repeatedly
expressed themselves to the eff.
feet, that this Government

mentS, treaties or arrangements,
either formal or informal, in

antagonistic to the policy set
forth in the farewell address of
President Washington and

life.
I'VE shall not have to engage

'Tt is true that war is
archaic, unintelligent and blum
dering and that it should be
discarded as an instrument Of
national policy, except in mat.
tiers of defense, but this will not
come by blindly entering a new
combination, under whatever
name, where intrigue and sell
