LONG ISLAND CITY, 7. =, June
21.-Jack Sharkey, who tossed away
four chances at a worlds heavy
weight boxing championship, and
finally handed the title to Max
Schmeling on foul, will try to
bring it back to this country to-
night in a bout where fouls don't
count"
The fans hoped for something
better than Sharkey's battle two
years ago, when he hit low and
sent the title to Germany. 1t ap-
peared that $4,000 of them would
turn out for tonights affair, pay
ing from 50 to $23 for the priv
ilege.
They'll be packed into the new
Long Island sports stadium.
For Schmeling, the show will be
his second defense of his title; for
Sharkey, it is ballyhooed as last
stand"
The Bostonian has fortune. He
wants fame. Tonight will be his
last chance to win it, he admits,
but counters Immediately with a
belligerent shout that there is no
question of his victory against the
black haired, young Uhlan.
Sharkey always has been ques-
ton mark. There is no middle
course. He is either very good or
very bad. If he is right tonight,
the German Dempsey" may lose
the most coveted of all ring titles.
Sharkey admits there will be no
excuse if he fails. He is in the
best condition of his career. And to
hear Sharkey tell it, it's only a
routine matter now before he wins
the title.
Schmeling is as confident as
Sharkey, anxious to convince fans
he is not a cheese champion He
proved that to a few when he
knocked out William Stribling, Jr.,
last summer. But there are many
who hold that Schmeling is cham
pion because he was fouled.
The German is slight favorite,
betting commissions giving him a
to 4 edge. Jack Doyle, one of
Broadway's leading commissioners,
said there was little possibility of
even money. He said the men with
the big money were backing
Sehmeling to the limit.
The latest quotations including 2
to l against Schmeling winning by
knockout, and to l against
Sharkey winning the same way.
Schmeling arrived in New York
with his manager, Joe Jacobs, yes
terday. He spent the night in a
private residence on Long Island
and planned to remain there until
he weighs in this afternoon.
Sharkey Has Weight
Sharkey spent the last few hours
before the fight loafing in his
downtown hotel. He said he would
stay there until he weighed in.
Sharkey is expected to have at
least 10 pound weight advantage.
He expects to weigh 203l2 pounds
