f Many were the 'sob' stories 'penned concerning Sharkey when contracts featuring Schmeling, Strib- ling and Camera were signed-sob stories relating how unfair it was to force the Boston sailor into tempor- sary and possibly permanent retire. ment.
 Yet to-day Sharkey must be con- eidered in at least half of the possi- ble big outdoor bouts, unless the Bostonian continues his policy of splendid isolation" refusing to en- gage in anything save titular bouts. he can find plenty of activity this summer.
 Quite . List.
 The bouts available for the 1881 summer season and their status are:
 Schmeling ys Stribling-fighters under contract to Madison Square Garden corporation of Illinois, which is experiencing difficulty in finding a site for the contest. Probably will be staged at Cleveland, July 3, de- spite the New York milk funds withdrawal.
 Sharkey vs Carnera-James J. Z $Johnston, independent New York promoter, claims to have Sharkey under contract for the bout. Camera still under suspension in New York for engaging in an allegedly liked" bout in California last year.
 Sharkey vs Wa1ker-Damon Run van isc endeavoring to make this one for the milk fund. Has Walker lined up and hopes to secure Shar- key who made most of his fortune in milk fund bouts.
 Sharkey vs Loughran-Madison Square Garden, Johnston and Chi cago Stadium are bidding for the bout. Johnston claims to have Sharkey's promise while Loughran is reported under contract to fight exclusively for Madison Square Gar den.
 Schmeling or Stribling vs Camera
 signed when the Strib- '1ing-Schmeling bout was made. with the winner agreeing to meet Camera in September. Camera now re- ported ready to break teh contract if reinstated in New York and given a chance to meet Sharkey. z Loughran vs Campolo-Matchma-

 All day Sunday of last week I |spent golden hours under the spell of this man, who in AZ heeting years had changed from an immigrant Norwegian boy to a great American idol. His face was flushed with re- turning health, after a two year bat tie against a pernicious illness that would have crushed the spirit of men Hess courageous. He dictated letters lon Sunday brim full of ginger and happiness, like the Rockne of old. He wrote his lines for a phonograph talk which was recorded the follow ling day-and we both laughed bois- terously as he rehearsed the mono |logue to his one-man audience. In the aftrnoon, while eight mis-fit football teams under the unique irl- ter-faIl system. scrimmaged in the raw wind and dropping temperature I-Rockne, shivering under varsity blanket, hustled from one gridiron to lanother, on adjoining fields.

But with all the wit and timely quips the eagle-eye of the master teacher lost not a, single miscue on the two fields of play. Fifty yards removed from where he stood, some
 willing but inexperienced candidate moves falsely, ever so slightly, and the voice of the all-seeing mentor

 Battle of the Giants.
 Camera vs Campolo-The greatest natural since Dempsey and Firpo. Frequently discussed but as yet no promoter has made advances, al- though the battle between the two inexperienced giants would be cer- tain to pack any stadium.
 In event Sharkey continues in his refusal to prove his right to cham pionship consideration by defeating other contenders, several other pair ings are available. Walker, anxious to prove his ability as a heavyweight is ready to accept matches with any opponent.
 Mickey is especially anxious to meet Sharkey or Camera, whom he would have to concede nearly 100 pounds, but also would welcome an opportunity to reverse previous de- feat by Loughran.
 Loughran also draws no lines and is reported ready to meet any op- ponent selected by promoters. Like most of the other heavies, the Phil nominated Sharkey as first choice and rated Camera az a "soft touch," but he is willing to take on any other contender to prove his right to the big shots.

LOSS OF SLEEP
FOUND DRAIN
ON EFFICIENCY
IrritabiIity ord 'Jibing'
Common Effects, Science
Clinic Finds.
By Science Service


NEW YORK, April 1S.-If your
wife's temper suddenly becomes I'M
reasonable, or if you greet her in
the morning with cantankerous
outburst, it may be only because
neither Of you had sufficient sleep
the night before.
Members of the New York branch
of the American Psychological As
ISOLATION meeting here today heard
how lack of sleep upsets domestic
tranquility and of the effects it
has on the body machinery.
Your working efficiency may be
kept up to normal on the day after
a serious sleep loss. they learned,
but in that case you will operate I'M
der a high degree Of muscular ten
sion. And if you persist in your
late hours, this tonic muscular COM
pensation which enables you to keep
your output up to par will tend to
lose its efficacy.
These effects of loss of sleep we're
found by DR.. G. LaVerne Freeman
of Yale university, through expert
ments he has been conducting in
the psychological laboratory of the
newly formed Institute of Human
Relations.
DR.. Freeman's first experiments
were conducted on himself and his
wife.
Zone of the most interesting SIDE
lights Of the major experiment was
the effect of the sleep losses upon
general and social behavior" said
DR.. Freeman. Alterations in mode
of living, health, attitude toward
work and other individuals became
characteristic occurrences after the
first week Of experimentation.
Both subjects began the work in
unusually fine health and spirits. 1t
was planned to continue the rou-
tine of living in the usual way. But
this proved impossible. BY the end
of the second week both subjects
were finding 1t increasingly difficult
to be sociable. Contacts frequently
were tinged with caustic jibes. And
the cantankerous outburSts which
occasionally occurred between the
two subjects were often quite I'M
civil.
The experiments showed that you
can not catch up" on sleep in a
single night. Even ten-hour period
of sleep failed to make up for the
effects of four hours Of sleep on the
night before, and eight hours on the
third night still left the person not
entirely recovered.

Monday Is Last Day for
Entrance in Contest
at Indiana.

Those in charge of The Indianap-
oils Times Indiana Theater Sun
shine Girl contest today urged all
entrants to send in their blanks and
photographs as quickly as possible.
This is the final day for entrants
to get a free picture at Dexheimer's
studio, and Monday night at IL
o'clock is the final hour for mailing
entrance blanks.
From all indications, the contest
this year will be by far the most
successful of any ever held in In
diana. Dozens of entrance blanks
have been received and it is be-
livered by theater officials that some
unusual talent will be discovered !"
as a result of this opportunity.
In addition to cash awards
amounting to 5000, winners of the
contest also will be given opportun-
ity of making stage appearances
and radio broadcasts, thereby OBJ
tanning ample chances to demon
strate their talent.
Entrants will find blanks and
rules regarding the contest on this
page.
Entrants are requested to report
at the stage door of the Indiana
theater no later than 10 o'clock
Tuesday night so arrangements may
be made for their appearances fol-
lowing the final show. Sheet music,
when needed, must be brought by
the entrant, it was said, and men,

should call it the Robbins shot,
for he's a master of it.
The shooter is near nib No. /,
but on the inside of it. The prob
lem is to knock out No. /, and leave
the shooter in position to take the
remaining nib from the ring.
BY using reverse English on the
shot, Robbins has shown that the
player may knock out No. l, and
have his shooter roll backwards to
approximately the position of
marble No. 2.
It's tough shot-one of the
hardest in Ringer-but can be &C
complished through practice.
And the nib player who does the
most practiciilg is the one who is
going to represent indianapolis in
the big national marble finals at
Ocean City, N. j., the week of
June 81.
It'll be big week, and well worth
practicing for
