Best Game Can Offer.

"ONIGHT'S match is Steele's first
against Londos since Ray declared
himself independent" but only
slightly has it lessened, if any, the odds
in Jeems' favor. Records show Londos
to have thrown Steele tnnumerable
times in the past, although Ray may
boast of two draws, both scored in
recent months, with the gent from
Greece.
Win or lose, however, it's the best
duo wrestling can offer. More than
any other rassler to engage LondoS,
Steele, christened Pete Sauer. has been
outstanding for thrills and action pro-
duced.
A crack semi final, involving Rudy
Dusek and Abe Coleman, two OF the
better grapplers, and trio of 30
minute matches complete the card. In
the best of the half-hour exhibitions
Gino Garibaldi will growl it out with
red-headed Pat O'Shocker, whose real
name is Shaw and who is Pole and
not an Irishman The others list Hans
Steinke and Ivan Vakturof and Floyd
Marshall and Cliff Olsen.
The first rassler will be tossed from
the ring promptly at $3.50 o'clock.

Won Reeden barely eked out the deci-
sion over the aggressive Arkansan in
one Of the most thrilling scraps ever
staged at the Laurel hstic plant.
Although Won Reeden was by far the
harder hitter and cleverer boxer, it was
Dougan who did the forcing. Won
Reeden retreated continually and was
reeling and groggy in the final heat.
For four torrid rounds it was any
bodys fight, with Dougan making up
what he lacked in clean punching by
aggreSsiveneSs. Won Reeden's superior
height came to his advantage in the
fifth, sixth and seventh rounds, but
with surprising burst Of glove-throw-

that the quickest way to titular claims

Jim Corbetts'
Illness Grieves
Tom Sharkey
BY RALPH b. JORDAN

CALISTOGA, Cal, Feb. z.
Tom Sharkey, the famous hard
fisted sailor man of another prize
ring era, is beating back to
health here amid sorrow at the
news that the ex-champion,
James j. Corbett, lies in the
shadow of death in the East.
Sharkey himself hobbled into
the Calistoga Hotel and mineral
baths a few days ago from San
Francisco, where physicians said
his days were numbered.
60 But Tom won't stay down. He
took a couple of baths, tossed
away his crutches, gave an exhibl
ton in the hotel lobby and an
nounced he was. ready to fight
or wreStle anybody in town for
marbles, money or chalk.
But" Tom said sadly,
"there wouldn't be much fun in
fighting now. There's nobody
who can fight; not like Jim
COrbett or Jim JeffrieS."
His memories of Corbett center
around four-round exhibition.
"Corbett was so fast at that
time" enthused Sailor Tom,
chat thought I was fight
ing a ghost. I couldn't locate
him. However, 1 did get one
Swipe at him, and he went
down."
Tom was never one to forget
who went down before his failing
knuckleS, and many a gladiator
fell beneath their thunder.
Who was the best man Tom
ever fought?
"That's easy" doomed Tom,
"and fought 'em all. The
best fighter that ever lived was
Jim JeffrieS. Why" hosting
up his shirt for all to see, "lOOk
what he did to me; look at my
ribS!"
From Sharkey's barrel chest
protruded a huge lump.
