Boston Jack UnimpreSsive
Despite Physical
Advantages.
BY DIXON STEWART.

NEW YORK, July 23.-Thanks to
Mickey Walkers stout Irish heart
and good left hand, the mystery
that was Jack Sharkey is no more.
The Boston sailor, whose ability
has been a subject of debate almost
from the first day he donned box
ing gloves. is a good heavyweight,
nothing more.
Sharkey fought a fifteen-round
draw with the retired middleweight
champion in the annual New York
milk fund charity show at Ebbets
Field, Brooklyn, Wednesday night.
Although he got no better than
a draw for his effort, Sharkey ap-
peared to have slightly the better
of the bout. In this writer's opinion,
he had a clear margin in seven
rounds, and held Walker even in
five others, leaving out three rounds
that Walker could call his own.
However, his performance was so
unimpresSiye considering his ire
mendous physical advantages that
the officials we're justified in calling
the contest a draw. One judge,
George Kelly, named Sharkey as
! the winner; Referee Arthur Dono-
van voted for Walker, and Charles
F. Mathison, rated generally as the
most capable judge on the New
York staff OF officials, actually de-
cided the contest with his vote Of
a draw.
Sharkey threw away his chance
of winning the official decision by
failure to control his punches to the
body. Always a wild puncher,
Sharkey was guilty of low blows in
several rounds. Under the New York
commission rules, which do not
recognize fouls, low blows are pen
allied by loss of the round and be-
cause of this the officials were forced
| to give Walker several rounds in
which Sharkey actually had the ad-
vantage,
Sharkey's failure to score a de-
| ciSive triumph was one of the big
gest upsets in pugilistic history
The Bostonian had every physical
and mechanical advantageous
weighing Walker 1882 to 1922
pounds; towering over the squat
Irishman by six inches; having a
four-inch margin in reach; and be-
ing the better boxer and harder
hitter-and he had been expected to
win by knockout.
Walker made fine showing, con-
Sidering his physical disadvantages
and was the hero Of the contest tc
the 10000 spectators who paid $780,
600 to witness the show.

sharkey and Mickey Walker thought
they had won their f1fteen-round
bout here Wednesday night, but
neither made any serious complaint
regarding the decision, which was
draw. Walker, happy as a school
boy over the great ovation he re-
ceived as he left the ring, said he
was determined to continue fighting
as a heavyweight and would not re-
turn to the middlewigeht class.

"but at least I fooled all the critics
who said I'd be knocked out. Shar-
key was gamer than I though, but
he kept tieing me up in the clinches

range"
Sharkey had no alibi for his fail

served the decision. Il thought the

NEW YORK, July %. - They

at the fight from a ringside pew,

edge. More than an edge. in fact.
Except that I wondered why they
called him the good big man.
am taking about the fight between
Mickey Walker and Jack Sharkey over at
Ebbets' field Wednesday night. It went the
limit OF lfteen rounds. which is more than
most people thought it would. In some
respects. It was the limit. I mean you
have big guy in there weighing nearly
200 pounds who is supposed to be the
greatest heavyweight in the world when he
wants to be and he can't beat middle
weight
Well. maybe he did beat him. but he
didn't beat him far enough to convince
everybody. The fact is. he convinced very
few people. OF course. it was strictly a
walker crowd. I don't believe Sharkey put
a quarter in the house All the boys and
girls were there to cheer for Mickey Mouse.
Their cheering didn't DO him any harm.
Every time he lifted truculent eyebrow

true.
