could be champion"
There probably is no profession. u

''ToULD you," Tunney was asked,

Assuming that you made a careful
study of his disposition, ancestry, bone

cal ability; that you took him when he

dozen years, carefully and scientifically
how good would he be at 20?
He probably" said Tunney, could
be mace into very good boxer. He
could become good hitter and a smart
rlngman; but NOBODY could give any
assurance that he would ever b. a
champion. There are a good many
persons in this world and there is just
one heavyweight champion.
"A Champion" said the man who
beat Dempsey, can not be made. His
talents can be developed, strengthened
and improved. but that extra spark
which makes him better than all the
others must be born in him. Geniu;

w ight?' I asked
He looked to be the easiest
of them all" Sharkey said. I'll say
honestly that while I hit him with
everything in that third round. I never
tried TO knock him out at that point.
I was giving him boxing lesson. I
figured l could take him at any time.
Maybe he is good. but he looked slow
and awkward to me. l still don't think
I hit him low, but anyway 1 got care
less again. 1t looked like a romp. All
my worries about him were over. 1
figured it was just a question of taking
my time and winning when 1 wanted to.
Get me right" Sharkey added. I'm
not defending what have done in the
past Maybe I am one of those fellows
who learns slowly. I know as we'll as
any one else that have made too many
mistakes But get this-I am not max
ing any alibis now, and I won't need any
alibis after this next fight And get
this-don't think I'm steaming up this
fight. I'm not. get only 10 per cent.
When l get through with expenses and
taxes, this won't mean much. I'm just
after Schmeling.
I've trained twice as long for this
fight" Sharkey said, as I ever trained
before. 1t means more to me than all
the other fights I have ever had put
together. 1t means that I am the next
heavyweight champion-or that I am
through for good-just a bum
SILL tel, you why I am so sore about
I that last Schmeling fight" Shar-
key went on. Il figure it cost me
q million dollars-or 100000 second
How? I'll tell you. Schmeling was
being counted out. Seven had been
counted over him. Then the bell rang
If the round had been three seconds
longer the referee would have finished
his count of 10-and there is no appeal
against that. When 10 sounds-that
ends all arguments. That's why I fig
,ura those three seconds cost me nearly
a million. That made me appreciate
what time could mean. Ever lose $780,
600 second?
Anyway, I know I haven't gone as
far as I should have gone. I'm not
abiding anything. But I know I can
wipe out every past mistake by whip
ping this German. I know what that
will do for me That's why I came
to this camp three weeks ahead of
time. I'm no longer taking things for
granted. This IS one time / am going
to be sure There won't be any mental
explosions at this meeting And there
won't be any need for anv alibi. I
may be crazy, but if I can't lick that
German I'm twice as crazy as they
think I am
