RefereeB Barry
Passes Away

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-DavId
Barry, the boxing referee whose
long count" over Gene Tunney
the night Of September %, 1927,
aroused a storm of controversy,
died in hospital here last night.
He was So years old. A liver in
lection was the cause of his death.
Barry, who officiated in more
than TOO fights following his re.
tirement as fighter, reached the
high point of his pugilistic career
that autumn night at Soldiers
Field when he was chosen to
referee the fight in which Jack
Dempsey sought to regain from
Tunney the heavyweight cham
pionShip he had lost to the
Marine the year before at Phila-
delphia.
Dempsey partisans insist Tun-
ney could not have arisen at the
count of 10, and that their idol
actually scored a knockout. Sup
porters of the marine, on the other
hand, insist their favorite was not
out, and could have arisen any
time he wished within 10 seconds,
Barry admitted the long count"
by which Sobriquet he became
known, but maintained there was
no irregularity.

Nets Over
2MHOn
By KIRK MILLER

Jack Sharkey is back
in Boston dividing his
time between his tav.
ern and his tulips.
BY now the lacera-
ion IS filigreed on
his face by Joe Louis
must have subsidized.
His fighting career,
such as it was, is be-
hind him definitely.
He cannot possibly have any
regrets.
From a $30-per~month sailor
to net earnings of over two
million dollars is not exactly a
mlsspent LIE.
The impression has b zee n
broadcast that Sharkey fought
Louis mainly because his re-
serve has been deplenished. I
learned in Boston last month
that such is far from the case.
Sharkey has ever been a man Of
modest habits.
He was never extravagant, albeit
he has lived well and kept his
family in nice surroundings.
The greatest dissipation he per.
mitted himself, even in his hey.
day, was an occasional trip to the
night clubs to dance with Mrs.
Sharkey.
Has Avoided Drink
Sharkey has been practically a
total abstainer. I do not mean
to say he has never slipped cock
tail or looked upon the wine when
it was Sparkling-but substanti-
ally so.
Neither has he been a gambler,
q horse bettor, or the master OF
a string of hounds or fancy
stable of horses. I don't believe
he ever dabbled in the stock mar
ket, either. Leastwise, I never
heard of his doing so, and these
things get to be common knoWl-
edge among our set when they
actually exist.
So you do not need to feel sorry
for John Paul CoccoSkey, the re-
tired Lithuanian American pugi-
list, who can we'll bury his funny
little nose in one of his prettieSt
blossoms, inhale the fragrance,
and muse:
"Ah, life has been sweet, in
deed
"Here is the homestead!
'Here is the happy wife and
fine, growing family.
He Should Worry
"And the cash registers are
playing a merry tune in the Tav'
ern in Our Town.
"AlsO, there's a substantial
sum in trust drawing a gen.
erOuS and secure income.
Il should wOrry!"
Why, 18 of Sharkey's major
bouts, and he has a total of SIS pro-
fessional appearances, have netted
him a million and quarter dollars.
He must have made another mil
lion in those other 81 fights, to-
gether with the by-products of his
fighting fame, such as endorse
mentS, newspaper and magazine
stories and public appearances.
Sharkey's financial rise started
in serious way when he got $4,000
for decisioning George Godfrey in
1925.
Next Purse Triples
Shortly afterwards he grabbed
$4,000 at EbbettS Field, Brooklyn,
for fighting Harry Wills who fouled
the sailor in the thirteenth round.
His income doubled the next
time out when he K.O.'d Mike Nc
Tigue in the twelfth round for

Look Good
Babe
BY BABE RUTH
Chairman, All America
Board of Baseball

It looks like the All America
baseball lid is completely blown
off. From all parts of the country,
the newspapers advise me that
more fans have responded to the
All America contest in the first
few days than in any previous
year-and we've been at this All
America picking business now for
II years. Here in New York, folks
stop me on the street and want
to argue about pitchers, short
stops and every position on the
team. The other night the family
dinner was two hours late because
the boy who delivers the groceries
has gone completely goofy on the
All America selection.
After waiting all hours for the
beans and butter and bread, a
phone revealed that the delivery
boy had made a miStake-he had
been to our house with the pro
visions all right but when we
looked in the basket at the kitch-
en- door, the only content were
a dozen baseball lineups, written
on paper bags, in the pencil
Scrawl of an abSent-minded young
ster. He left the All America Sc
lectionS but forgot to leave the
groceries. I sometimes wonder
who is the ScrewieSt-the base
ball bug or the golf nut? I've been
both for years.
Let me say in the beginning,
that cannot indicate any player
or players who might be chosen
on the 1896 team. Therefore, I
cannot answer the queries con-
tanned in many letters already re-
ceived, and to fans interested in
the contest I suggest that they
make their own selections and
mail them direct to The washing
ton Times.
It is apparent from the letters
received to date that newcomers
in both major leagues are big ia
vorites and will give the old guard
a hard battle for honors before
the contest closes, September 5.
And I don't mind admitting that
from those whom I have seen in
action, the new names and faces
in both big leagues are about as
classy a lot as has come up in
many seasons.
Look at Rockies
Let's take look at the rockies.
Cleveland certainly picked a nice
prospect for future performance
in Roy Weatherly, a young out
fielder with hitting average close
to 4OO-the ambition of every man
in baseball. OF course like John
Kroner. sensational shortstop with
the Boston Red Sox, Weatherly
has played in barely so games,
less than half of the total played
to date. Another infielder who is
proving to be a surprise and an
asset to the st. Louis Cardinals is
Garabaldi, CALIFORNIA; latest gift
to big league baseball.
Pitchers and catchers are prom
inent among the rockies of 1885.

"The meeting will be held at

The complete publication Of
Steinman'S statement in The
Times, in which he reiterated in
several paragraphs his conviction
that Marty Gallagher was Pro-
tected in LevinSky's last fight here
and would be next Tuesday night,
came as a bombshell to local fight
officials and to fight circles. The
charges were broadcast to all
newspapers, by Steinman's own
admission, to which he added that
he hoped they would be published
so that everyone in Washington
would know exactly how he felt.
