Nothing more than q change Of direction

reality. Hitherto, students and readers have
gone back into the classics, seating themselves
therein satisfied, save for very few exceptions
that they have arrived in the quiet of great

What is its natural relation to the state? To the

Jack Takes

Sharkey Meets italian Giant
Tonight; Ugly RumorS

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Weather
permitting and principals willing,
Jack Sharkey, Boston heavyweight,
the well-known "in-and-outer" OF
the prize ring, will battle the giant
Primo Camera of Italy at Ebbets
field, Brooklyn, tonight, in scrap
scheduled over the f1fteen-round
route.
Described by press agents as a
crucial struggle and one likely to
develop into a redhot thriller, the
scrap, in reality is unimportant.
Sharkey Ran Out"
When the match was first made
for Chicago year ago it was be-
lieved certain to attract 100000
gate. Sharkey, 6-to-1 favorite,
ran out" at that time.
The unsavory rumors occasioned
by Sharkey's refusal to go through
with the contest on Oct. /, even
though X-rays of his alleged little
finger injury revealed nothing more

have ruined the contest as gate
attraction. Promoter johnson claims
to have a $4,000 advance sale and
talks of a 5000 900 over the-counter
rush today. If the fight crosses more
than 100000 even Johnson will be
surprised.
Very Little Betting
Sharkey is quoted as to 5 IA
vorite to win, with less wagering on
the result than in any heavyweight
bout of recent years.
Sharkey adherentS and form play
ers are loath to risk actual money
in view of the Bostonian'S previous
erratic performances, the suspicion
that Sharkey is "all washed up" and
ready to retire, and because of the
conviction that the clique of Broad
way mobSmen interested in Camera
would not risk their million dollar
prospect" against Sharkey without
positive assurance of victory.
