He's finished. He's all over and
done with. He's through. This
hasn't been decided by the Shar-
key management, it's the decision
of Sharkey himself. He has de-
clared himself to the effect that
he will fight once more next June
against the winner of the Schme-
ling-Walker meeting and, there
after, he will retire to a life of
ease and refinement as a suburban
gentleman, with nothing on his
mind except the mortgage.
He is determined upon carrying
through this plan even if he wins
the fight, so that, for the second
time in four years, it is possible
that the So-called multimillion-
dollar heavyweight championship
will be vacated. In other words,
Sharkey is in the privileged posi-
ton of debating the lines of his
own obituary. He not only is a
man whose future is strictly be-
hind him. He even knows it.
Up For Consideration
The one-laSt-fight idea, in fact,
was up for consideration a few
weeks ago, at which time it had
been planned to conduct it in col
liberation with James Edward
Maloney, the well-known human
being.
The fight would have been held
this month in Boston for the
benefit of the unemployed and all
would have gone exceedingly we'll,
owing to the fact that, while
James Edward Maloney cannot
fight much, he would have drawn
a great deal in Boston while col
laboratin., with Sharkey. But, in
the end, the champion decided
against it. He wants to make a
killing on this farewell appear
ance and the only way he can
figure to do that is to fight either

Davis, Take a Bow

Frankie Mann is coming to

tical idleness insofar as ring
activities are concerned. He has
tried twice to make successful
flights into fiStiana since Port

but balky engine trouble both
at Fort Myer in the spring and
Portner's more recently, has
kept him on the ground thus
far.

Frankly claims no particular
credit for Davis recent rise to
favoritism. because he some
time ago turned Roddy over to
Harry Kid Groves for develop

Davis, he is now singing loudly
his praises.

MILLS DESIRES
BLOCKERSFOR
{, j. TEAM
BY HARRY COSTELLO
"ShOw me the team that can
block, and I'll show you the
team that can win"

team that can win"
So says Tommy Mills, coach of
football at Georgetown. Then
Tommy sends his candidates
through a long blocking practice
Georgetown's team shows con,
sistent improvement. IN yester.
days blocking drill. a number OF
backs and linemen showed to adj
vantage. while several others
proved that they need plenty of
blocking practice.
The HoyaS also held a long
dummy scrimmoge yesterday.
There were a number of mix-ups
in the backfield. However, these
faults are easily eradicated under
the Mills plans of daily workouts
involving detected weaknesses.
Line Is Developing
The Blue and Gray line is
beginning to develop, and, at the
moment, looks vastly improved
over last weeks. Guards, on
occasions, look slow, particularly
when GeorgetoWn's fastest back
field is at work. 1t appears that
several of the guards need work,
and plenty of it.
The HoyaS are equipped with
an excellent array of plays.
Their offense should click from
the opening of the season, as the
units to properly execute the
plays are there.
Kelly. Georgetown's ace Splinter,
is almost certain to develop into
a real footballer. In yesterdays
dummy scrimmage he handled
himself veil, although at times
his handling of the ball on direct
passes from center was a bit I'M
certain. Perhaps it was that the
ball feeder was at fault.
Backs Are Plentiful
Mills and his assistants have
a wealth of backfield material,
all of it good. The line con-
tinues to worry the coaches. Yet,
watching the Hoyas. one gains
the distinct impression that they
will have a far better team than
in 1881.
If units perform as Mills in
tends the squad should be letter
perfect in fundamentals.
Each day verifies the forecast
of Hoya students that the Hill
toppers are due for a big year.
Georgetown was dealt a stun
ming blow when Gildo Russo,
husky guard from last years
freshmen, and Capt. Ray Hudson,
end, were injured in scrimmage.
Russo suffered a severely
wrenched knee and may be on
the Sidelines all season. Exami-
nation of HudSon's hand, in
jured Saturday, shows it was
broken. He will be out for at
least three weeks.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1932-09-20

him or else the man who licked
the man who should have licked
him.
In any case, Sharkey ought to
take at least 100000 away from
a fight like that, and, if it isn't
enough, he doubtless will be able
to bear up very bravely just the
same.
Made Million Dollars
Sharkey is making ready to re-
tire behind a record Of having
taken we'll over a million dollars
out of the fight game since COM
ing here to make his first big play
against Harry Wills. Of course,
not too great percentage of that
sum has gone home with Sharkey.
The boys have had at him in
very marked manner. In fact,
they've "pieced" him plenty. But
a conservative estimate of his per-
Sonal fortune, including property,
is 100000.

White SOr Official
Denies Trade RunlOr

CHICAGO, Sept. 2O.-Harry
Gardiner, secretary of the
Chicago White Sox, today denied
any negotiations have been com
pleted for the trade of Ted
Lyons, star pitcher, to the Phila
delphia Athletics.
1--WE have received no offer
for Lyons, nor have we ever
thought of trading him."
Gardiner declared. There is
nothing to this yarn"
The reports were that Lyons
would be traded for Nose Grove
and Al Simmons. 1t was said
that a number of American
League clubs have in the past
sought to ohain Lyons.

AS a consequence of the build
ing expansion now in progress
at the Hilltop. space for the
footballers has been found
within the gates of the institu-
ton. This condition has not
existed but twice before and
then only for short spans back
in the late eighties and early
nineties.
Ultimately Georgetown hopes
to have a training table for it's
athletes but has not yet been
able to effect one such. The
training table plan is thought
beneficial for two reasons. Su-
pervision of food for the ath-
letes is possible. they being
assured of a diet which will
give them strength for their
arduous duties afield. Too, the
cost to them on a club plan is
far more economical than if
each player had to arrange
privately for his meals.

by Capt. E. N. Chisolm, assistant
