POMPTON LAKES, N. j., July
16.-Five days Of intensive train
ing here for his 15-round match
with Mickey Walker at Ebbets
Field in Brooklyn next Wednes-
day night, today had wrought q
remarkable change in Jack Shar-
key, American heavyweight cham
pion.
Rolls of fat about Sharkey's
waist have disappeared. His wind
and eyes are well attuned, and
Jack has shed five pounds since
his arrival, when he weighed
2O31a pounds. At the conclusion
of yesterdays workout Sharkey
weighed 1913 pounds, near his
regular fighting weight.
He has worked with a Zest and
has but one worry. his inability
to cope with the lighter members
of his sparring staff.
His boxing has been exceed
ingly rancid against Jack PO-
liScO, of Newark, and Joe

They clouted him freely with
each hand. Banovic, crouching
low, easily evaded Sharkey's ire
mendous Swipes and came UP
close to rake Jack with hard
rights and leftS.
In addition to a heat apiece
with Banovic, Sharkey took on
Yale Okun and Paul Cavalier for
one session. Okun boxed cannily,
bundled the American champion
at close quarters and scored
often with a left jab to the face.
The Bostonian showed to best
advantage with Cavalier. who re-
ceived several hefty thumps to
the chin.

Annual Rough House

For years it had been the
custom Of the log rollers, big,
powerful woodsmen that they
were, to hold this yearly rough
house In which 100 men showed
off into a stream on a barge
and the last man on the barge
who could keep the other SO
from throwing him overheard
was the winner and the re-
cipient of a prize Of 500.
The barge was 100 feet long
and IS feet wide, but Londos
did not recite how wide was
the river, nor how deep. How
ever, he did say the nearest
shore was 500 feet away.
It was a case of catch who
you can at catch as catch can
and toss him overheard, new
style of wrestling indeed to
Londos.
So the barge pushed off with
little blackeyed L,ondoS eyeing
the remainder Of the brutal
and gruSome company. Sure OF
himself and his knowledge OF
the game, which was in a crude
state indeed, then, compared to
the finished art Of wrestling
today, Londos waited.

Fifty on Each Side

Fifty men lined up on the
edge of one side of the barge,
while the other so lined up on
the other side, facing each
other, toward the center of the
scow. The sheriff Of the county
was the referee and the judge.
Each man at the starting
whistle faced a specified oppo-
nent. For instance, the sheriff
faced Londos toward a squat
little man, but one who looked
powerful enough to make things
hot for Jim.
The sheriff had gone down
between the lines Of men at
tending to the pairing when the
fellow next to Londos whis-
pered:

ORANGEBURG, N. Y, July 16.
Mickey Walker, training here for

It was learned today that Walk

suffering from an injured left

Kearns had the arm bandaged
today but said he hoped he
would be able to second
Walker.
If he is not, a trainer will be
with Teddy Hayes behind the
former middleweight champion.
Kearns recently underwent an
operation on his elbow.
Despite the heat Walker boxed
six rounds yesterday and planned
another drill today. He seemed

Walter talked earnestly about his
team and tried to show reasons
why it had. not graSped the oppor-
tunities to advance recently.
"The slump which hit the
boys out West has been q ter
ribIe ordeal to snap out of, "he
said. Everybody on the club
has tried to get going and at
times things have gone for the
better, but other times certain
breaks have thrown us in the
depths again."
Continuing, Walter had this to
say. '.
"The fickIeness of the fans
isn't helping any at this time,
either. I've been in baseball
long enough myself not to pay
any attention to it, but some
of the boys haven't. And

rave the way they do about

BURKE HURL
TWIN BILL
By GARRETT WATERS


When the Griffmen take the
field against the Chicago White
Sox in a double-header beginning
at 1880 o'clock, several changes
will be in the lineup and bat
ting order.
These same said changes were
down on the score card for yes
terday's single contest scheduled
with the Sox when rain just at
game time swept away all ideas
Of playing.
Manager Walter johnson will
have ample opportunity to see
his newly arranged order work
in the twin bill today. His hire
lings will have a chance to gain
q little ground in the race-pro-
viding they can take both games.
West Back in Game
But before the actual delving
into the new lineup is taken, Irv.
ing Hadley and Bobby Burke have
been nominated to oppose the
Sox. with the latter club having
named Tommy Thomas and Vic
Frasier for duty.
Sammy West will be back
into action today as the first
shot towards viewing the above
mentioned new order Of things.
He will appear in the lead-Off
position in the batting order
q position that is not new to
him as he was lead-Off man
throughout his minor league
career, not to mention his first
few years as a Griffmaq.
Manush, as usual will be in left
field and bat second. Cronin is
next, followed by Dave Harris,
who Is to be kept in there against
both right and lefthanders for a
while, while Joe Kuhel is to bet
fifth.
The Kansas City youngsters re-
cent heavy hitting brings him
into his new batting position,
which in the past has been taken
care Of by West, when he's been
in the game, Bluege and Harry
Rice.
Bluege follows Kuhel in the or
der, with Jackie Hayes in seventh
place, just ahead Of the catcher,
Jackie. incidentally, is taking the
place OF Buddy Myer, who is to be
given a rest for several days.
Hopes To Get Going
Manager johnson is making
these changes in the idea that
they will get the team going
again. He says he's been seriously
thinking about effecting them for
sometime now, but has held off
because of the possibilities Of the
old order functioning.
The bringing of Joe KuheI
from seventh to fifth in the
batting array is seen as an i'm.
posing omen to opposing pitch
ers. Kansas City Joe has
looked like a real batter of
late-One of those long distance
hitting types-while his field
ing has been all that could be
desired,
Jackie Hayes should help the
team at second base. There Is
doubt about Alabama Jacks field
ing around the. keystone base
while his hitting should be just
as good as Myers right now,
with the latter in a terrible
slump.

morrow with Bucky Harris De-

next in a series of four games.
