SHARKEY-LOUIS
BATTLE NEARS

NEW YORK, Aug. IL
It's all or nothing for Joe
Louis. Detroit's erstwhile
dark bomber must either
come through Tuesday night
in his fight with Jack Sharkey OF
Boston. or submerge.
If Joe deciSively ends the threat
of the Boston Cob he can partially
atone for his defeat at the hands
of Max Schmeling and take
healthy leap up the comeback trail.
But if ne fails. it's curtains for
the bomber bonner, He will have
no other course than to fill up
space alongside the battered hulks
Of Make Baer and Primo Carnera.
However. the same reasoning goes
two ways. Sharkey also stands to
gain all or end up holding the
sack. Jack, so he says, is doing
a comeback just for the fun Of it.
So far his exhibitions have been
unimpressing. He put up his best
showing against Phil Brubaker OF
California, outpointing him in ten
rounds.
Louis IS a 7-5 favorite in the
betting. Promoter Mike Jacobs
looks for a crowd of $4,000 and a
gate of 100000. Tickets sales have
picked up sharply in the past few
days and Jacobs expectations may
not be far amiss.
Louis did his last boxing Mon
day and Sharkey finished his hard
work last Thursday. Both will re
main in their training camps until
Tuesday morning.
This time Louis mentors really
picked a ''Washed-up' eX-champion
to restore the Brown Bombers con-
fidence and prestige. Sharkey talks
great fight and is capitalizing on
his two encounters with Schmel-
ing to draw a rosy comparison.
The garrulous COB fouled out once
to the German and won a ques-
tionable decision the other time.
Sharkey, approaching "a, hasn't
put up a really good fight in five
years, since the night he gave Pri-
mo Camera a good shellacking at
Ebbets field before he was cham
pion.
Jack Johnson, Louis severest
critic who forecast the Schmeling
triumph, says the Brown Bomber
is bad, but not bad enough to lose
to Sharkey.

Hurst, can give them. Hurst pitch

SHORES FAVORITE FIGHT
Err LOST BOUT LAST WEEK

Keller Crawford, Princess Anne
leather-slinger nicknamed the "Prin-

the round bout with Mike Lichen-
stein in the First Regiment Armory,

battle and a close decision.
These two boys fought eight rounds
of one of the most tense, thrilling
bouts the fans of the Eastern Shore
have ever had the opportunity of
watching. After sitting through the
whole duration of the fight, so close
were the merits of each fighter, fans
practically held their breath after the
bell at the end of the final round un-
til the referee announced the judges
decision, acclaiming Lichenstein the
victor. Only then did they relax.
Although the decision went to Lich-
enstein the fans really enjoyed the
bout for it was fast and furious, eight
rounds of twin dynamite sticks pound
ing mercilessly away at each other,
no one knowing just when one or the
ether would explode, land a haymaker
on the chin and end the bout.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
DELAWARE SOCIETY GIVES
OPINION ON CAR DRIVERS

According to the Delaware Safety
Council there is one place on the
street where the motor car driver in
variably shows whether he has the in
stincts of a gentleman. This is at
the intersection controlled by traf-
fic light. Does he come gliding east
" up to the cross-walk and stop with
a margin before reaching it? Or does
he dash in with squeal of brakes,
frightening the pedestrians who have
cause to wonder if his brakes are no
better than his manner? Does he
wait through the traffic signals with
his engine idling in neutral? Or are
his feet twitching on clutch pedal
and throttle, his hand on the gear
shift, and his eyes staring out at the
signal, ready to dasa on the moment
the yellow shows?
If you are a pedestrian passing in
front of his car, hearing the splutter
and race of his engine, seeing his
nervous movements and the wild look
in his eyes. you could not be blamed
for suspecting that he was some kind
of dangerous moron. You would be
right in fastening by for your life.
Neither clothing nor car indicates a
gentleman. But the consideration a
driver shows to others is an infallible
sign.
You know by experience that you
can back into very small space at
the curb, while a much longer space
is needed if you try to drive in with
the front wheels first. But is this
parking place legitimate one? Are
there no official prohibitory signs?
Can you park a proper distance from
the fire plug, the safety island, and
the street intersection? You are not
blocking some citizens driveway, are
you?
For the safety of your car park with
your right wheels only a few inches
from the curb, and parallel to it. On
narrow streets many accidents are
caused by the corner of some parked
car projecting into the traffic lane.
Leave parking lights on, if it is night.
Climb out on the curb side, of course.
When you come back to drive away,
make doubly sure that traffic is clear.
Use your left hand extended straight
out the window, to signal your in
tention; but give passing cars decent
opportunity to get by first. Cities
and towns may have a variety of
parking rules. It will pay you to
learn and observe those in force in
your community.
