DEMPSEY'S ARM REPORTED HURT Ex-Champion's Manager, However, Reports Jack Ready For Big Fight By Paul W. White (United Press Staff Correspondent 1 New York, July 19—(UP)- Reports of an Injury to Jack Dempsey's left arm caused a switch In the betting odds for the heavyweight fight Thursday night between te former champion and Jack Sharkey. A week ago, the odds on Sharkey winning were 6-5 ami today had risen to 13-10. The quotation of 3-1 on Detnpsey to win by a knockout have shortened to 244 to 1. Not thing but bullish sentiment came from the Sharkey camp, the Bostonian anil his handlers expressed great confidence. But the Saratoga Springs headquarters of the Dempsey manace permitted pessimistic tidings to reach the betting tickers. It was reported Dempsey was nursing an injury to his left arm, his principal stock In trade. The arm. the reports said, was banaged and a special shipment of antiphilogistine, and baking lamps and what else had been ordered and put to work in the hope that any possibility of injury fistic bankruptcy would be obviated by Thursday night. The United Press was informed by its correspondent at the Dempsey camp that such tumors were “bunk" and were probably an effott to depteciate the value of Dempsey eurretit v so that his backers would be the more entiched by a victory over Sharkey. “I saw Jack work out yesterday.” the correspondent said, “and it there was anything wrong with his arm it would have shown then. It didn't". Tex Rickard, also was inclined to discount the reports. "Dempsey s arm has pained him occasionally.” the promoter said. “Bui it's nothing setious and the flight will go on as scheduled. Flynn Denies Rumor White Sulphur Springs, Saratoga, N. Y.. July 19 - (UP; With three days remaining before his fight with Jack Sharkey. Jack Dempsey today was pronounced “ready to go right now by Leo Flynn, his manager. Flynn carefully denied that Detnp- , sey was suffering from injury or serious soreness either to his hand or arm and explained the appearance of the champion for his wotkout yesterday with heavy bandages on his hands and ’ arms, as merely a precautionary measure. But boxing critics had their curin' - - ity aroused because the bandaging \vns , done, although Dempsey's program < merely involved some rope skipping, shadow boxing and punching the bag - largely the light bag. His sparring partners were ready in ring togs and came forward for a workout, but were told Dempsey would do no more boxing and they could take off their boxing trunks. Sharkey's Camp Is Gay New York, July 19— (UP) —Jack Dempsey may be afraid of injuring his hands in training but it look- as though Jack Sharkey isn't afraid of much of anything. In contrast to the careful conservatism in Dempsey’s training, Sharkey’s camp continued carefree and gey today with everyone fairly radiating '••■nfldeuce. Yesterday afternoon the Lithuanian . sailor who hopes to earn a chance at ■ Dempsey's expense, of meeting Gene | Tunney, went through a full pro-iam i f boxing and gymnasium work, and he never pulled a punch, it seemed. He cut loose a flock of blows at scute of his partners, which showed he had H plenty of faith In his hands holding out of they landed with steam in them. fl Sharkey's managers said he would S box again today and that they were I pleased with the shape he is in both j physically and mentally.
