The fight was scaled at $50

Two months before his return
match with Tunney, Dempsey
fought Jack Sharkey in Yankee
Stadium. 1t was the night of
July 81, 1927. Before the fight,
stories from Dempsey's camp at
Saratoga reported Jack was
soaking his left arm in nightly
applications of hot salves.
Sharkey, in fine trim. was be-
coming cocker by the minute.
One day while he was being
rubbed down after work, Sharkey
asked me to drop into his room.
Come in here a minute"
Sharkey' beckoned. "You know"
he said when the door was
closed. II could'a had this fight
with Tunney. Rickard Of

why didn't you take it?" r
replied. "By the looks of you,
it might have been a short cut to
the title"
"Tunney can watt" Sharkey
said. "I know I can lick Demp-
sey. and by beating him I figure
it'll be a better build-up for
Tunney."
Nearly 10000, shelling out
more than 81 million, made an
other Rickard promotion pay of
that night.
Sharkey almost tore Jacks
head of with a left and right at
the start.

For six rounds Sharkey
knocked Jack all over that ring.
Dempsey opened the seventh
with two sharp rights to Shar-
keys belly-right on the belt
line. Stunned and hurt, Shar-
key looked appealingly at the
referee. O'Sullivan warned
Dempsey. but the suddenly re-
juvenated ManaSsa Mauler tore
into Sharkey's belley again with
palpably low shots. Sharkey
again turned to the referee. ges-
tureing pain. Wham! That
dreaded left hook landed flush
on Sharkey's jaw. Down he
went. in a distendsd heap, half
crawling and clutching his groin
his head groveling the canvas.
O'Sullivan, himself dazed for
a moment, seemed to be deliber-
ating whether to start counting
or award the fight to Sharkey
on a foul. He finally picked up
the count from the timekeeper,
Kid Mcfarland. At 10. little
Joe Humphrey climbed between
the ropes and raised Dempsey's
hand. Bedlam broke loose with
straw hats sailing into the ring
and cries and cries of "Foul!"
and "Quitter!" booming through

Instead of passing the buck,

Meanwhile out in Chicago the
pen and pencil set is yelling for
everybody to have a look at
George Halas' sharp, youthful
squad---a surefire title contender
in IS, they say. It's the same
in Cleveland. where Paul Brown
appears to have survived the
worst blow of his five years in
the National Football League.
With lot Of sparkling young
sters coming along, the Browns
supporters expect them to be in
the thick of the race again.
To tell the truth, most Of the
writer's covering the Redskins
feel that in 1855 Washington's
young team will have some
thing to say about the title.
Coach Joe Kuharich has so many
players returning from military
service, plus d shot at the cur
rent crop of college seniors, the
Redskins have almost got to show
a lot of improvement.
We were most impressed by
the general attitude in the club
house after Sundays game with
the Chicago Cardinals. It was
not one of weary Illustration, a
gladness to have the season
ended or relief that the job was
done. Rather. almost every
body seemed in a mood for get
ting started on 1855 plans. The
enthusiasm was so high here.
and it seems to be all over the
league, that one is almost forced
to rely on race track parlance
for a 1855 prediction-throw out
the last race. everybody will be
better the next time around.
Joe Boland, former Notre
Dame tackle who broadcasts a
play-by-play description Of the
Cardinals and Notre Dame
games--and does one Of the best
jobs in the business-was talk
ing about Terry Brennan's work
in his first year as Notre Danes
head coach.
You've got to give young
Terry credit. Joe said, for bring
ing the Irish back for q 9-l

on Purdue in the second game.
There's no doubt In Joe's mind
that Brennan has all the quail

haps one of the best in the
South Bend schools history.
"They reached their peak
against Iowa." Joe said. ""They
played pretty nearly a perfect
game"
Boland noted that Brennan
had the material for a winner
and also knew how to handle it.
He thinks the Irish will be on
top, or close to it, for a long
time.
Both Boland and Publicist Ed
die MCGUIRE of the Cardinals
scoffed at reports that the Chi
cago club might be moved to
Buffalo or some other city be-
cause of dwindling attendance
at home.
They'd die even quicker in
Buffalo with a losing team" Bo-
land said. IF they start to win,
the Cards will draw well at home,
and they'll make money on their
radio and TV contracts"
The Cardinals and Bears have
a nice TV setup in Chicago, hav-
ing sold a package" of IL games
for a handsome sum. No games
are televised in Chicago at any
time, for one or the other team
is always home. but the sponsor
has game on the network
through other Midwestern points
every Sunday in the season.
"That. alone, is enough to keep
us in Chicago" MCGUIRE said.
"The guy who wrote the story
about the franchise being moved
must have been hard up for
copy. He didn't write it in the
middle of the week when there
is a lull, but printed it the day
of our game with the Bears"

Boland said both Walter Wolf
ner, executive director of the
Cardinals, and his wife, the
widow of Charlie Bidwell, who
owned the club when it joined
the NFL, were so intensely in
terested in the team there was
scant chance that it would leave
Chicago in the near future. Mrs.
Wolfner is one of the most en-
