 It took only 9 minutes and 29 seconds in Madison Square Gar den for Joe Louis otwin, but Sharpe had to batter his young fellow St. Louisan for 5 hours and 8 minutes in rain, sleet and snow on an open-air dance pavilion be- fore sending him down for the last time.
 They fought for a $1O00 purse raised by the two sides, but Sharpe says 1t cost hi mand Crosby sev- eral hundred dollars and nearly a year in jail before they were through.
 Served Jail Term
