.SCHAAF WILL MISS
SHARKEY TONIGHT
To Tackle Poreda Without
Advice of StabIemate
and Part Owner.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
n TEW YORK, January g. Out Of
M tonight's battle between Ernie
v Schaaf and Stanley Poreda in
Madison Square Garden may
come a possible contender for Jack
Sharkey'S heavyweight championship.
Now that Max Schmeling and Max
Baer are definitely lined up in Promoter
Jack Dempsey's camp, Schaaf and
Poreda, along with Primo Camera, fur
nish the only real material from which
the Garden can draw in its hunt for
logical" opponent for sharkey this
Summer.
Poreda, who outpointed Schaaf in q
10-round match in New Jersey last
Summer, ruled a 6-to-5 favorite over
the burly Bostonian for tonight's duel,
also slated for 10 rounds. However.
these odds may shorten to even money
by ring time in view of Schaafs re-
cent Ground knockout of Unknown

Winston, earlier in the year, had given
Schaaf a beating
THE Boston heavyweight, however,
l. will have to get along without the
sage advice of his Stablemate and

other day for vacation in Bermuda.
Coincidence or not Schaaf has
fought his best bouts when Sharkey
was in his corner.

NO WORTHY ENEMY
FRONTS CHAMP
Desire to Grow Flowers and
to Fish Kills Tar's Yen
for Ring Game.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

A T first glance, Jack Sharkey
~ appears to be in the soft
L \ est spot any champion has
ever known.
As 1882 began to slip over the
hill there were two leading COM
petitors in his road good enough
to hand out all the trouble he
might be looking for. Their
names were Max Schmeling and
Max Baer.
They were the only challengers who
really counted. And when these two
decided to enlist under Jack Dempsey S
banner in "the massacre Of the maui
ing Makes" Sharkey suddenly faced a
new year where his main competition
would have to be drawn from Primo
Carnera, Stanley Poreda or Ernie
Schaaf, who had set no great amount
of terrain on fire through 1882
None of the three left at this mo-
ment is In a class with either Schmel-
ing or Baer as a drawing card in any
Sharkey show.
If Schaaf gets the verdict over Car
nera and Poreda, the situation will be
further complicated as Sharkey Is now
one of Schaaf's managers.
All this makes one of the neatest
heavyweight tangles the game has ever
known. And this game has known
plenty in the way Of tangles, knots and
twists.
If Carnera gets the call-and he
probably will-one of the main Sum-
mer features will be the drawing power
rivalry, with the two Makes in one
camp and the heavyweight crown in the
other.
Charley has said he never will give
~ Schmeling another chance, but even
if the Boston gob means this decla-
ration there is still one chance for a
real show
This is the chance that Max Baer
VIII whip Max Schmeling. And If that
happens the young WeSterner may be
able to force~a championship issue by
next September
If he can whip Schmeling, he can
whip any one else who happens to be
around, and this includes both Sharkey
and Camera.
Baer is far better fighter than he
was on his last trip East. Standing
more than feet, weighing 215 pounds,
he is young, strong, good puncher
and about as durable as a steel girder
He is game and he can go the route.
I figure him an even shot to beat
Schmeling, and I thought Schmeling
won at least eight rounds against
Sharkey's four in their meeting last
June.
Whatever happens. the winner Of the
Schmeling battle will be rated as

triple strike. In the first three strings
OF the doubles Nick totaled 462.

tide tournament, at the Lucky

This evenings program, with
about 160 bowlers engaged, will
bring the tournament almost to
an enc. Tomorrow will be clean
up day, reserved for postpone
ments and special assignments.
The Yuletide season has been a
bright period for the game. The Stars
tournament drew record field of 1900
and last night Convention Hall was
jammed with men and women who paid
half a dollar apiece to see the Oc-
cidentals Of Washington and Blue
Ribbons of Connecticut perform. Hun
dreds were turned away.
EXCEPT for bursts of briliancy by

former years. The OccidentalS eked
out a 22-pin victory in the five-man
team event, although none of its men,
