STATE SHARKEY
IN GOOD SHAPE
FOR BIG BOUT
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press Staff Correspondent

POMPTON LAKES, N. j., July
l8. U.P)-For the benefit of the
credulous, it should be recorded that
reports emanating from Jack Shar-
keys training camp during the past
week have been utterly false and
were nothing more or less than
"ballyhoo' for Sharhey's bout
against Mickey Walker at Brooklyn
next Wednesday.
Instead of being hog fat, disin-
terested in his ring future, and as
effective against his sparring part
ners as an armless man against a
swarm of angry bees" as reported
by Promoter Jimmy Johnston's
press agents, Sharkey, In reality, is
in we'll nigh perfect condition. And
on the word of veteran fight writ
ers who have followed Sharkeys
career from the start, he showed as
we'll in yesterdays boxing against
four sparring partners as he ever
did in his life.
To the uninitiated it might ap-
pear that to discredit Sharkey is
poor advertising, but boxing follow
ers recognize these tactics as the
good old reverse ballyhoo" inaug-
urated by Tex Rickard for the
Dempsey Carpenter and Tunney-
Heeney bouts.
The reverse ballyhoo," necessary
in matches where one of the con-
testants obviously is outclassed, calls
Tor a strong build up for the out
classed fighter and a pull down"
tor the better man. In this instance
Sharkey outclassed Walker by such
a wide margin that an intensive
build down" was necessary for the
Bostonian.
Rated strictly off the records.
Walker would be no better than a
20 TO shot against Sharkey. The
Bostonian may not be the best
heavyweight in the world-although
In the opinion of the average fan
he is the uncrowned champion of
the division-but he certainly fig
ures to whip Walker.

He hurt his hand on Pauls head

better than in his previous bouts

glad to note that many of the fans

League Scores
BY UNITED PRESS

BY UNITED PRESS
The Seattle Indians, occupants of
the cellar for many weeks during
the first half season of the Coast
league, found themselves alone at
the top of the column today.
Consistent winners since the start
of the second half. the Indians have
remained near the top and finally
took the unchallenged lead last
night by beating the Hollywood
Stars while the San Francisco Seals
were losing to the Missions.
The Stars, apparently overconfi-
dent because of their wide margin
OF victory in the first half, have
failed to maintain their winning
pace thus far They lost to the
Indians last night, 6 TO 3.
The Seals put up a hard fight
before succumbing to the Reds, 5
to 4, in 10-inning encounter. The
Missions, pounding out almost three
times as many hits as their oppo-
nents, tied the score in the ninth
and went on to win in the next.
The Angels went into a second
place tie with the Seals by trim
ming Sacramento, IL to 8. George
Burns, the Seraph's new first base
man, clouted the winning run with
a homer in the eighth.

son refuse to admit that Hornsby
did the right thing by taking Will
son out of the game.
Wilson will get going" they
said, but Hornsby has got to keep
him in the game until he breaks his
slump, even if it takes all season" F"
Wilson's batting slump has hurt
his morale, and his fielding and
general all-around play suffered ac-
cordingly. The Cubs we're fortu-
nate in having two fine reserve out
fielders in Danny Taylor and john
ny Moore, who filled the vacant
place in the outfield when Wilson
was on the bench.
Unless Wilson'S hitting improves
during the last part of the season,
he will undoubtedly suffer large
cut in salary for the 1882 season
and will be in danger of losing his
regular job to either Taylor or
Moore.

CHICAGO SLUGGER REFUSES
TO ALIBI BATTING SLUMP

NEW YORK, July 18. W.p) -
Hack Wilson. roly-poly outfielder of
the Chicago Cubs, has been one of
the big disappointments of the 1881
baseball season, and yet he refuses
to blame his slump on the dead
ball"
Last season Wilson led both ma jor
leagues in home runs and was one
of the top hitters in the National
league. His play this season has
slumped off so sharply that several
times Manager Rogers Hornsby has
had to bench Wilson.
With. the season more than half
over. Wilson's batting average is
well below 800 and it will take an
extended batting streak to get him
back in the select circle.
THE ball behaves differently than
1t did last year." said Wilson, in
commenting on his batting. 1.-The
pitchers seem to have little the
better of 10, but that has nothing
to do with me. am swinging the
same as ! always did. But 1 can't
seem to get started right. l get a
few hits and then slumpagain. 1t
isn't the ball that causes it, it's
something wrong with me-"
Wilson is said to be the second
highest paid player in the National
league, only Rogers Hornsby, mana
ger and second baseman of the
Cubs, drawing a larger salary.
Hornsby's salary is believed TO be
$4,000 and Wilson's $35,000.

no more colorful player in the Ma

rel-bodied Hack. Even in the midst

GLIDING a representative Of President
Hoover. are expected by the Governor
to join In the conference, designed to
consider Mississippi Valley problems.
Tfn With Chamber
Murray's refusal to give details OF
proposals he will suggest resulted in a
Slight tiff with the Memphis Chamber
of Commerce, which the Governor said
was sorry bunch Of business men,"
The chamber informed Murray 1t
could not assist in q program which was
not clearly understood, but the executive
contended his relief plan could not be
announced without embarrassing the
Federal Government, which likewise has
punched a campaign to aid the job
less.
However, Murray feels that once the
conference goes into action, on prac-
ticable program, cooperation will be
forthcoming from all quarters.
Meanwhile Memphis awaited the con-
ferees somewhat perturbed at the lack
Of preparation for the traditional South
ern welcome.
Seeks Federal Aid.
The Governor said Oklahoma had out
lined a conservative program for unem-
ployment relief at q Statewide confer
ence here recently. and that 1t was his
plan to obtain Federal collaboration to
back up similar action he hopes to see
the other States Of the Mississippi VAL
ley adopt.
Murray declared the Memphis sessions
would not be permitted to take a po-
litical turn. He recently denounced a
group of young Oklahoma Democrats
for trying to horn in on the meeting"
with political delegation.

Science
Death Force Found That
Comes from Grotcing Leaves

A mysterious death force which pro-
ceeds from the growing leaves Of plants
is demonstrated by experiments Just
reported In the proceedings Of the Brit
ish Royal Society by r. A. Snow Of
Magdalene College, Oxford. 4
Experimenting with variety of pea,
he first cuts of the top of the grow
ing plant. This results in two shoots
OF equal length developing and balanc-
ing one another. Then the tender leaves
Of one of these shoots are removed. It
promptly dies. But II a single shoot,
not a twin, is stripped of its leaves
it simply sprouts new ones and goes
on growing.
Snow explains this curious phenom-
enon by postulating a killing force Of
some kind that is generated by leaves
In the process Of growing. When II
works downward between the leaves
and the root of the plant It Is harm
less. so that no shoot viii be killed by
it's own death force But when the
twin Is stripped there is no opposing
downward flowing force TO balance It.
Consequently It Is free TO turn upward
and once the direction Of its fow Is
reversed 1t becomes 1ethal Once the
twin twigs and their leaves are full
grown the force ceases to act It np-
parently is not present in adult leaves
The same result is obtained by weak
ening the growing leaves Of one twin
by keeping It In TIE dark while its
companion Is well lighted. r. r. H.
