with power; making his head do o lot

TACK KEARNS, the old doc, already
J is beginning to try to talk Jack
Sharkey out Of his match with
Mickey Walker. Kearns first states
that he will take every precaution
against fouls, knowing that there are
no fouls in New York, but also know
ing that a man who lost the heavy
weight championship on one Of the
most foolish fouls of all time is likely
to be sensitive on the subject.
Next Kearns dwells gruesomely on
the picture of Walker pounding
Sharkeys stomach out through his
backbone. Now. nobody cares a whole

The Poundage Debate.

YUST how important Is the matter
of displacement when two fight
ers step into the ring? This
ancient argument has come back
on the bound in the matching Of
Mickey Walker and Jack Sharkey and
the matching Of Max Schmeling and
Primo Camera.
Walker will have to spot Sharkey
something like 80 pounds But it is
nothing to the tonnage Schmeling will
have to slip Camera. Schmeling
weighed 189 pounds for Stribling and
he should weigh about the same at his
next start where Camera will be close
to 270. This will make a difference
somewhere around IS or 80 pounds in
Italy's armament above the German al
lotment. Yet at fairly close range a
machine gun can be much more effec-
tive than a howitZer.
Walker and Sharkey are much more
evenly matched in the matter Of weight
than Schmeling and Camera, especially
when you consider that Walker is built
like a heavyweight in every detail ex-
cept height. He has the chest, neck,
arms and legs of heavyweight and he
can MI ABOUT as nara as nOSI Oh the
heavyweightS now infesting the scene.
Relative Speed.
1T all gets down to a combination of
i relative speed. good big man can
whip a good little man-if the good
big man is just as fast. Metzger. the
