JCRITICS FAVOR ’ JACK SHARKEY J — •i Miami, Fla. Feb. 27 (CP) What I ever may be felt about the merits lot tonight's botil between Jack ! .Sharkey of Boston and Phil Scot, of England, from a fistic viewpoint the fm-t remains that it '*ll hav< Ju most important bearing upon tin j heavyweight situation, muddled ’, since the n iretm-nl of Gene Tun I ney. r i With this fight under his belt, if ’ he defeats the Englishman decisive ■ i ly, Sharkey will lie In the position id' unctowned Champion of the world, and meds only to defeat Max S.-him ling, or have the German default to win rceor nil ion a Timmy's successor, Scot, should w iii which is uuii.-.tdy .but possible will blatantly assert the same for j himself - and it must not be fm- ' 'oti n that Philip has a most in fluenliul friend at court in hi., I omercan managfr the noisy little ■ Janus .1. Johnston. ! Pen e dey.iii the fact ..that..th" J affair has been flagrantly over-ad |v ill ed and will not draw within I 8100.000 of the 3350,000 claimed bv Madison Square Garden, there i.- , - en.iuga mer.i in it to warrail, mo I menlary attention from the nations fight lans. A lust minute demand for tickets ranging in p ice fioin $5 to $25 f. leafs in h big new municipal sta dium,, proved a decided di.-tappofn. ; ment to the promoters. Last year's I affair between Sharkey and Young | Stribling of Geoigia. which proved a tame fia -co. is *hol I i spohaibl. fm hick of interest. The visiting I spoi lsmen, such as Bernard Gim bel, John Oliver LaGorge, Carl G ■Fisher and George Ade, will attend ias a ma ter of coms just as the.' take in the Dog Races and othei att.actions at Miami Beach. An even, to.i of heavyweights will be in action, including Scott and / Shaikey. Victorio Compolo the Ar , genline tower, m e s Johnny Rlsko Chnbl.y Clevelander in tne semi I wirt lup. which may make the main | go look tame by comparison, Jimin.' Maloney and Tommy l.oughram, i two of Sharkey’s woikoit victims i meet Moise Bouquillb i of Franc land Pierre Charles of Belgium res pectlvely, the Americans being the i favori’es. Paul Bianchi of the Ar g ntine is dated up wi h Phil Dar J iiig, Ex-U. S. Navy. Jack Shaikey incidentally is rated I such a strong favorite over Phil Scott that there is very little bett ! ing, the odds being 5 o 1, or wh. do you want. A few of the visitins •xpmts prof ss to believe that if* I Philip can avoid a quick knockout and last seven rounds, he may have |,t chance to outpoint Shaikey, bu. |;hey a.e not op imi.stic about th> : possil ili y of his even avoiding *ak ■ ng the count almost immediately ■aft r the openng bell. The setting for the boat, under a i»im- sky wi h a bai kgrotiß I of palm I ri i's ami tumbling blue and while surf, is all that could be desired. The crowd may number around j0,.;00, if it is a ui< night, so that bat key and Scott w ill be well re : riled for their efforts, whatever they are. rew heavyweight bouts of the lative impCr ance of tonight's engagement have been amended with as little popular interest as thi one. A feeling that Scott is incar able of pit ting up a battle, an t tha' Shark y is quite capable or putting up a poor one is too strong in veryoue's mind. The main bout goes on about S . m„ CST, with Lett Magnolia as bird man in the ring DASKSIML — Tomorrow is the big day for i the Yellow Jacket, . If they': made out of the stuff that every I one armin'! here thinks they are. it will be a big day for- every Decatur net fan. The Decatur - Fort Wayne Central game starts at 4 o’clock Friday afternoon. More than 400 Decatur fans are expected to attend the game. Ix-t’.s a’l get back, home from the Yellow Jacket victory in time to see the Commodores finish ! their season with a victory over the fast St. Johns team of Lima, Ohio. Tickets are on sale now for the St. Johns ■ Commodores game and ail proceeds of the game will go toward the Indian,■’noils Tourney fund for the Commodores.

Purdue Wins Net Game Lafayette, Ind., Feb.. 27. —fU.Rh— Purdue Univers'ty virtually clinched the western conference basketball title here last nis-ht with a 29 to 1(5 triumph over Northweste-n. giving the Boilermakers seven ■straight conference victories. Johnny Wooden, Purdue guard, "rd scor ng with six field goals for '2 points,, followed by “Stretch" Murphy with three field goals and four free throws for 10 points, and Walter, Northwestern center, with four field goals for eight points. With the big nine cage season (;swing to a close, there is but an outside chance that any team will even threaten Put due's leadership, anti the second consecutive major sport conference championship for the Boilermakers.

BULL FIGHTING SEASON BEAUY FOR GALA START New Law Excludes Boys Under 14; Toreros Expect Big Year By William 11. Lander CP Sluff Correspiuidenl Mniii id, Feb. 27.

In Soutiietn Spain, where the weather is alrtady in shape, tha si a on will be in full i” i by th o fi vs t s.itn ds l y.. q f ' March. The toreros, after engaging in various pursuits during the winter, are r turn ng to the scene of act’on. nut forgetting to visit their tailors for a new outfit of resplenlent uniforms. Marcial Lalanda. tlie ace of aees of 1929 who appear'd not le-s than 83 times last season ami killed nearly 200 bulls, hop: s to even bettt'r luck this v< ar. His ambition is to appear ’6o lip'i's and thereby establish a nenj record. Lalanda d d not w.inler far from Madrid all "inter, and kept in trim by playing soccer (association football) with a team if bullfighters. Another of the reat bull-fighters of 1929. Antonio Marquez, made a triumphant tour f ’Texico, and D le'urning to Spain loaded down witli pesos, oaquin Jim nez. t'aganel.o, wh(,s ■ icrfoinmnee w: s veiy erratic last ea r , was a howling success in the v nter season in Mexico.

From the cow's poroimance t is determined whether he is fit to breed fighting bulls, or should go to the slaughter louse. The bulls are given a sim'e test when between one and two "■« o’ l to determine whether they shall he used for breeding, or n the ring, or shall be rejected ml sent to tile butcher.

Frankin Ims several appearances alepdy contiacted, and will probaby go :;s far as Cuba, Africa, again, mt just wh re he will start off the ■eason his not been decided. Since the court is no longer in :’.oin nii’g, it is possible that K’ng Alfonso XIII will attend several •o.ridas. He customarily goes to h- b'g benefit fights, and the first if these this year is the Ciudad Universitaria con Ida. in April, when the new Madr.d piaza will be naiißiirated.

VW Don’t neglect a COLD Distressing cold in chest or throat—that so often leads to something serious—generally responds to good old Musterole with the first application. Should be more effective if used once every hour for five hours. Working like the trained hands of a masseur, this famous blend of oil of mustard, camphor, menthol and other helpful ingredients brings relief naturally. It penetrates and stimulates blood circulation, helps to draw our infection and pain. Used by millions for 20 years. Recommended by doctors and nurses. Keep Musterole handy—jars and tubes. To Mothers—Musterole is also made in milder form for babies and small children. Ask for Children’s Musterole. I* 611 IBk | | "■>» "I ■ M
