BUCKLEY PEEVlSH

BLAST ON SHARKEY
ESPECIAL to Tho Democracy

Boston, Sept. 15--Johnny Buck.
ley, manager of Adolph Heuser
and also a manager OF Jack shnr-
koy. who Is now In Chicago with
Sharkey for the ex.champ's bout
with King Levinsky, burned few
miles Of Insulation off the long dis
lance telephone wires yesterday In
a conversation with Matchmaker
Billy Ames of the Boston Garden.
Buckley was more than little
riled BY the challenge issued by
Lou Broulllard on the preceding
day, in which the worlds middle
weight champion expressed q de-
sire for q crack at Sharkey after
he defeats Adolph Heuser at Bos-
ton Garden, Sept. 90. Mr.. Buck
ley spoke in language not suitable
for q home newspaper, but the
glst OF his whole talk was that
Brouillard would never have the
opportunity to go through with
that challenge as he would be
quickly disposed Of by Heuser
when the two meet at the Garden.
Getting Ahead
Buckley further sttaed that he
desired Mr.. Ames to go forth and
sign Make Rosenbioom to meet
Heuser in title bout, for the
lightweight championship, ct the
Boston Garden. buckley stated his
conviction that Heuser would dis.
pose OF Brouillard with ease. He
wants Amos to get Rosenbloom on
any terms possible. give him all
he wants" we quote Mr.. Buckley
land what's loft swill be, enough
for Heuser. II It takes oil that the
Garden con pay for the match and
there's nothing left for Heuser
that's oil right, too. Winning the
title will be enough for Adoiph."
Matchmaker Ames states that he
remains neutral In the verbal bar
rabe being hurled by Manager Lo-
moline and Manager Buckley. Billy
is ready to fix II up for Brouillard
'em In, unless It's to turn 'ern
VI Sharkey, or for Heuser vs. Ros-
enbloom. Both bouts would pack
away--aftcr packing 'em In.

rarement with Primo Camera
Levinsky, pride OF Chicago's west
side, may get little or nothing as
Ms share. He Ia gambling that
Victory over sharkey will lead to q
fght with the champion.
Ready to Go
Both fighters have trained dill
gently, Those who have watched
Sharkey for the past two weeks be-
iieve he Is In o fair way to flght
with most 6f his old-time clever
mess. II he keeps his head In the
face OF Levinsky's eccentric, awk-
ward, frce-swinging but terrific
punches he probably will be able to
master the former Ash peddler. But
II sharkey's temperament bulls his
fighting technique, one Of Levin
skys Wild blows may stop him.
Levinsky undoubtedly is in the
bets shape OF his career. What ef-
feet his boring In style Of fighting
will have against Sharkey Is prob
lematical. Levinsky will ltake five
blows Just for chance OF landing
one. and II this two-hsted free-hit-
ting style gets on Sharkey's nerves
the bout may turn into an alley
fight.
How They Talk!
"f'll win by a Knockout In Ave
rounds" Sharkey said today. Lev
insky may be a good puncher, but
i've faced them before"
"I'ii knock him out, that's what
I'll do" said the Kingfsh: You
Know me, and anyhow, sharkey's
through"
sharkey, who will be 80 next
month, will weigh about 400
bounds. Levinsky, who has just
turned 23, probably will scale about
202.
A crowd Of about $4,000 Is ex-
pected. II the weather is rainy the
bout will BIO held Monday night.

WAGER RACES
AGAIN POPULAR

Lon d on,-(UP--Matches be-
tween race.horses for substantial
wagers, the origin Of the Sport OF
Kings" In this country, are regain
ing favor
Time was when the racing man
uals were full OF such items as:
"J'he Duke OF Blankshire matches
his gray filly abainst Lord Dash
shire's brown colt over q distance
of one mile for wager of one
thousand guineas."
Such an amount was small In the
18th nd 18th centuries, and whole
fortunes have been staked on races
between famous horses. With the
advent of regular race tracks and
programs, these sporting matches
went out of fashion.
Now they are becoming popular
again, and there have been several
in the last few years.
The most recent was this sum-
mer when Lady Dunham's two-year
old, Montez, beat the Duke of Nor
folks two-year-old, Quicksilver,
over five furlongs, by three lengths.
The stake was $1,000, and Montez
was an to IL favorite.
In June there was contest for
a purse of $1100 between Lord
Carnarvon's Patmos and John
Arthur Dewar's Brother-in-Law,
the latter carrying of the prize.
The last big match took place
six or seven years ago. 1t was for
$4,000 and resulted in Sir Hugo
Cunliffe owens Highborn the
Second beating Solly PoePs oojah.
