Inactivity Corrodes

Nothing corrodes a fighter
so much as inactivity. All the
private training, road work,
gymnasium exercise and shadow
boxing in the world ayaileth a
fighter naught if he doesn't
get in there ever so often in
real competition. JACK Demp-
sey went farther back during
the three years between his
Tom Gibbons and first Tun-
ney fight, than most people
suspected.
When he crawled In the
ring at Philadelphia after that
lapse, Dempsey was so clumsy
it was pitiful. Neither his lists
nor his feet co-ordinated with
his brain. He was rusty. He
was corroded. He was stale.
He was helpless. He went in
there with only one thing
the old Dempsey courage. He
took as bad a beating standing
UP as any man was ever known
to take in ring history.
So the thing that Sharkey
has got to fight if he expects
to ever gain the championship
after the present muddIe is
cleared, is the same thing that
Dempsey had to fight, and in
DempSey's case it was a losing
battle. If Sharkey, therefore,
is properly advised, he won't
side-step this chance for a 1881
fight against Mickey Walker.
He should beat Walker, for
he's bigger. but Walker is bound
to give him a fast workout,
just the thing he needs to
keep on his toes for his supreme
chance which is bound to come

'MEN ENTHUSIASTIC OVER PROSPECTS FOR PENNANT
Young Poues Successful Basketball Coach at American
TODAY'S SPORTORIAL
BY Kirk Miller.

One notes in the paper they
are steaming up a scrap twixt
Mickey Walker and Jack Shar'
key for the coming summer to
be held somewhere around New
York, and we for one are all
in favor of it.
A fight like that, although
it wouldn't carry the cham.
pionship tang, is sure to be q
humdinger, as the boys used
to say back In the gay nineties.
At least it would be sure to
carry some good old-fashioned
slashing, an element some Of
the more modern fights have
failed to provide.
The presence Of Mickey Wal.
ker in any fight assures ac-
ton. While he would be giving
away weight to Sharkey, he
wouldn't enter the ring with
an inferiority complex. He
wouldn't fight any the more
timidly or with too much
caution, and he would neither
stall around from bell to bell
nor permit Sharkey to do so.
Sharkey has been a sort Of
go-as-he-pleased fighter. In
the scraps wherein he knew
he didn't have to extend him
self, he has been satisfied to
loaf along and take his vic
tories by as small margins as
possible. He nearly lost to

ago by such tactics, saving
himself by some Hurried action

About q year ago a young

all the headlines in the papers Of

out with the Mackmen, boasting
a fine minor league record and
having the honor of being the
son Of Glenn Liebhardt, old
Cleveland mound worker. Young
Liebhardt was a lad Of 19 then,
and how he did talk himself into
the first paragraph Of the camp
stories! He looked so good on
the mound that the fans were
led to believe he would be an
ace in a year.
Then he took up talking base
ball with the older heads on the
Mack squad.
He went so far as to tell
George Earnshaw that he did
not know how to pitch to Babe
Ruth.
That crack just made Earn
shaw giggle, but it did not go
so we'll with the older members
Of the team.
Finally Liebhardt talked so
much they had to send him away
for a seasons rest and In the
meantime the world series was
played and won without him. It
meant about $4,000 to theh mem
bers of the AS. Liebhardt fig.
ured that his chatter that made
such good reading cost him S.:
