was going to make short work of Tow

wasn't even running a good second.
The decision was unanimous.

SHARKEY HAS PUT
NUMBER ON SPOT
Has Habit of Making Things
Embarrassing-Drastic Cut
Made in Prices.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n 1EW YORK, June 18 (P.-
M Storm signals can be
l Y hoisted for the benefit of
the man who referees the
15-round heavyweight champion
ship bout between Max Schmeling
and Jack Sharkey next Tuesday
night.
Challenger Jack has an embarrassing
habit of putting referees ION the spot"
in almost all his crucial engagements
Drama, comic and otherwise, follows
the Boston sailor wherever he goes. In
fact, he manufactures it in wholesale
quantities.
Recall few of his more important
bouts. There was that match with Jack
Dempsey, when Sharkey turned his
head long enough to claim a foul and
long enough for Dempsey to put over a
Knockout punch; the match with Phil
Scott In the Southland, in which the
Britcn was counted out while claiming
he had been hit low
THEN there was that famous battle
L with Jack Delaney, when the
rusted "rapier of the North" went
down and out with one punch, while a
hysterical Sharkey wept tears Of excite
ment in one corner of the ring; the
bout with the huge Italian, Primo Car
nera, in which Sharkey f1oored Primo
with one punch and then tried to jump
out Of the ring when the referee refused
to heed his demand that Primo be dis
qualified for going down a second time
without being hit.
And finally there was his first match
with Schmeling. two years ago. when
he fouled the German into the worlds
heavyweight title after giving him
terrific beating for nearly four rounds
There will be no winning on foul
on Tuesday for the New York State
Athletic Commission does not permit
fight to be stopped for that reason,
but the referee whoever he may be,
will need to keep his wits about him.
FACED with the possibility of tre-
i mendous financial flop" the Gar
den acted yesterday to avert COM
plete disaster Drastic reductions in
whole sections Of high-priced seats in
the new Garden Bowl on Long Island
increased the number of 81 and IS
ducats to about $4,000 Only 1900
seats Of the grand total Of 1900 were
left in the top brackets. This revision
of prices meant that gross of $500,00O
was the best the Garden could realize
even should the fight be a sell-out
Prospects are for gate" Of only about
half that amount.
Both fighters were idle at their fight
camps at Orangeburg and Kingston and
both were given bill of health by ply
siciars who examined them on behalf
