DEMPSEY'S GOAT IS HARD TG GET Jack Sharkey, Ex-Champ's Opponent On July 21, Is A Noted Goat-Getter Now York, July ll—(United Press) When Jack Sharkey shouted into a microphone Just before he left his corner to fight Hairy Wills—“ I'll knock him out sure as—." he not the poai of the negro heavyweight completely. The goat getting process had been started several minutes before when the referee was warning Wills that he couldn" hold,and hit. “Don't worry nhou* that," Sharkey rneered. “He won't try it more than once." Sharkey employed the same tactics when he was getting ready for his last fight with Jim Maloney and he so upset the sensitive Maloney that he blew up completely. The Wills fight ami the last Maloney fight were his greatest fights and his goat-getting was obviously a big factor in his victories. Approaching the fight against Jack Dempsey here on July 21. it is interest nig to speculate oil l.ow far Sharkey will go with his stunts against the former champion. So far he has been quiet and hasn't said anything nasty about Dempsey. On the other hand he has been as complimentary as he could he. Sharkey boats that Dempsey was one of his Idols hut that Dempsey isn't as good as he was In the earlier days when he was just getting started. "He got Wills’ goat and he worried Maloney to death hut he'll never get Dempsey’s goat,” Jack McAuliffe, retired lightweight champion said today. "That little Descamps tried out that bunk about the hypnotic eye on Dempsey before the Carpentier fight and Dempsey laughed at him. Dempsey gave him the eye Instead of getting it himself. Tunney tried to get his goat by flying to the fight in Philadelphia but he failed. The law had Dempsey’s gnat. “Tom Gibbons kept Dempsey sitting for a half-hour under the boiling sun in Sho'by and while Dempsey got mad he didn't lose his head. As a result Ribbons got more of a beating than he might have otherwise.” o Chance Place Is First In Lincoln Handicap Chicago, July 11 — Earle Sande.

Pick, who ame from the minors this season to Play third base for the Cubs, produced the important hit against effective 1 pitching of Norman Pli t. Guy Bush, allowed Brooklyn only five bits. Virgil Barnes of the Giants almost' achieved the goal of pitching a no-hit game against the Cardinals but a single by O'Farrell in the second inning of the first game of Sunday's double-header spoiled his chance. The Giants won the game 5-0. However, St. Louis won th second game, 7-3, The heavy hitting staff of the Yankees failed to produce when hf.sl were most needed and Detroit defeated the Yankees, 6-3.

After that —the down ward slope. Today a man of twentyfive Is one whose father Is wondering whether to send him to a law or a medical school, or set him at work. Formerly a woman of twenty-two was an old maid; a woman of thirty-five often was a grandmother.” The Exact Witness A barrister was cross-examining a rather innocent-looking countryman. ‘‘So you had a pistol?” the barrister asked. “I had. sir.” \ “Whom did you Intend to shoot with it?” “I wasn't Intending to shoot any one?” 'Then was It for nothing that you got ttr “No, it wasn't” “Come, come, sir!
