 OF MIAMI BOUTS
Sharkey-Scott Battle the Out
 standing One Of Winter


 and the same arena. with improve mcnts an a rev location, but it is different show, with new words and music. for the second annual battle of Miami.
 A good deal Of the mclodrama Of 1929 is missing. Tex Itckard is just a memory now and so arc most Of his time-honorcd methods. No indi- vidual figure is cutting the glamor- ous figure that Jack Dempsey did in putting over last years winter l heavyweight carnival. In short, the fantasy and novelty that preceded the Shark ey -Striblng fight is con- plctcly absent.
 It is strictly a fight show and a business proposition this winter min- us sentimental appeal. It is a bigger show. from the standpoint Of actual tonnage displacement of tho partci- pants, exclusive of the battle royal that opened the 1929 festival. Whether it is better show. from q competitive angle. remains to be dc termined by actual events in the
 
 tors. headed by Frank J. Brucn and William r. Carey, think it will be, based on the idea that if Jack Shar- key and Phil Scott do not furnish any excitement in the main bout, Johnny RiSko and Victoria Campolo. the semi final Combatants will.
 Financially, the venture is already b,, ,.te -ya, lation Of which is that sufficient gate already is in hand to assure profit The advance sale was around $l75.o0o today, not quite up to last years mark with nine days to go before the ring fest February 91. but enough to warrant the pre- diction that the receipts will reach $350.000. Last winter. the total was slightly in excess of $400.000.
 The estimate is that tho show will cost $l5o.000 to stage but this de- bends on the aggregate. lnasmuch as Sharkey and Scott both arc working on a percentage basis.
 The Madison Square Garden Stadium" located on the outskirts Of Miami. has been reconstructed in the process of transplanting from Miami Beach, with an increase in the seat ing capacity from 30.000 to 50,06o.
 As a concession to less buleinG banhrolls, there will be l5.O00 more s5 seats than there were year &Go in Flamingo Park but the choice tlc- kets bear the familiar $2l.50. So 1a1 there has not been the slightest ln- dication of any speculating.
 To entertain q wider variety ol prospective customers and not a$ might be supposed to keep the com batants from tearing at each gratu' itously, the training camps have been scattered from Coral Gables where the giant Argentine Nictorio Cam polo, is training. to Palm Beach ; where the somewhat scholarly Phll' adelphian. Tommy LouShran, doe' his stuff in a society setting. Sharke! is in Miami Beach and Scott along : Biscaync Boulevard, Miami, where the sight seeing busses cant Tls , seeing him or hearing his Nolubl' manager, Jimmy Jornston. Jimm! MaloneY, whose heavyweight aSplra tions like those of Loughran were upset by one of Sharliey's ferociou' moods, contributes 10 the Gayctl over along the beach.
 Sharkey easily dominates the pre-. liminary scenery, without any sucf competition as he had from tho Stribling family circus last year None of the ancient artitlces of the , ballyhoo are needed to reveal tha the Boston sailor is in fine fighting condition. nor has anything happen ed so far to change the prediction , of experts that he will enter tn, , ring with a big advantage in 1ightin: equipment, speed and punch, owe the British champion, lanky Phi Scott. Even in training, Scott re : tains what is apparently a natura expression of apprehension. Phi , gives the impression, even in walk . ing around, that he expects at an. moment to be sandbagged Withou ; warning.
 , "Scott's apprehension may be in creased by the development of al < injured finger. Overnight there wa . g. novelty in the story that Scott 3 bad digit might result in calling o1 of the match. This was dissipatcd !, however. after local physician ha' Q said Scott would be in shape to rc 1 Sumc training today.
