Tom Shorkey Tells
Of TOUGHEST Loss

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. % (N.A.
N,A).-The gray is in Tom Shar-
keys hair at the age of SO, but the
barrel chest still remains. The most
famous of all the fighting sailors
still appears tougher than a battle
ship.
Sharkey fought them all-Jeffries
twice, Corbett, Fitzsimmons-the top
of the list
Your toughest fight" I suggested,
must have been the 25-round battle
at Coney Island?"
1T was in one way" Sharkey said,
'but In another way I had an even
tougher scrap. I know this was the
hardest fight I ever lost. 1t was
against a fellow known as Mexican
Pete-a tough guy. The referee was
even tougher. He was Horse john
son. Around the middle of the first
round I got set and nailed Mexican
Pete on the chin with a full left
hand. The back of his head hit
the floor and Mexican Pete was
colder than a mackerel on ice. But
Horse Johnson leaned down and
lifted Mexican Pete's right hand.
Here's the winner johnson said.

1T is not our purpose to eliminate

to aid him in his decision. After
all, the umpire is an integral part
of the national pastime."

Still Thinks He Whipped
Greatest Heavyweight

"Those were tough days in the
fight game" Sharkey recalled. I'VE
fought in rain and Sleet and snow
and no champion ever aSpired to be
a gent. We fought with bunch
of guns around the ring, looking for
trouble. They were hard days-very
hard days.
Il still think I beat the greatest
heavyweight of all time Sharkey
said, when I fought Jim Jeffries at
Coney Island I know jeff cracked
three of my ribs. But what are
three cracked ribs? For that fight
I weighed l69 pounds and Jeffries
weighed 208. I had to spot big Jim
80 pounds. But the point I'm max
ing is that l was the aggressor
through 25 rounds. Remember that
line Paul Armstrong wrote about me
round after round Sharkey came
on like the surf
JEFF stood and waited I had TO
do all the rushing-all the leading.
They gave me no credit for that.
And still it was close. I still believe
the fellow who forces the fighting
should get more credit than he gets
today. Suppose I had stood and
waited for Jeffries. There would
have been no fight.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Jan. 28.
Big George Selkirk says the New
York Yankees are fighting mad over
the Shaping around" they received
last season and will have the Amer
lean League title nailed down come
next September %.
Maybe we were a little overcon-
fident last season." said the husky
outf1elder today. Maybe it was the
law of averages. Whatever it was,
we lost the pennant, but we didn't
collapse OF old age or fall apart at
the seams. And we'll snap back.
More than ever before, feel the
Yankees will win the pennant this
year"
Lost Pennant in Rain.
Last year" continued Selkirk,
I'VE certainly were confident. In
July we didn't have 300 hitter on
the club and still we never gave a
thought to losing the pennant. In
mid-August when We were a dozen
games behind, we still figured we'd
start late drive and get in first.
We'll, we got hot We won some
thing like 20 of % games and were
right up there in the fight. So We
make our last trip to Cleveland and
can get into first place by winning a
double header. We win the first
game and 60 into first place. We
have the second game won when 1t
starts to rain. We sat around nearly
an hour, then they decided to finish
the game and we did-in the rain
and lost it. Right there we lost the
pennsnt."
Great Defense Counts.
Selkirk. in tiptop condition after
having an ailing appendix removed
last fall and weighing 185, said he
hoped to have big year He pre-
dicted a lot Of the older members OF
the Yanks would surprise the critics,
too.
They look at the batting aver
ages" observed George, and the
minute you drop below 300 they say
you're skidding. It Just doesn't seem
right TO be a Yankee and not knock
the cover off the ball. Well, you for
get that the Yankees are Just about
the best defensive team baseball has
had in years. That has lot to do
with winning pennants, too"

over a base of house paint either

If you want 10 60 south of
the border when il comes 10
home decoration. then you'll
surely want 10 paint some pieces
with those vivid Mexican motifs.
For the modern room, try
decorating a chest or table with
an abstract design. The pat
terms are easy, but color and
form are important.
For an amusing idea, try do
ing over a piece and decorating
il with camouflage designs. All
these ideas make amusing con-
versation pieces, but of course
il Is the gay peasant designs
such as the Tyrolean, Swedish
or Mexican that make the most
