HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHT DRAWS MUCH INTEREST Sehmeling - Sharkey Are Ready For Thursday Title Fight New York. June 9. (U.R) —The public's response to the SharkeySehmeling bout, scheduled for Thursday night, has definitely established the affair upon a championship basis. Not only the demand for tickets, which threatened today to send the gate up about the million dollar mark, hut the nationwide interest in the fight assures the winner of genuine recognition as heavyweight champion of the world, successor to the long line of fistic heroes from John L. Sullivan down to Geiu- Tunney. When Jack Sharkey, the erratic Lithuanian, and Max Sehmeling, solemn-faced, youthful German, first were matched for what pur-' ported to be a title bout, there was, some doubt as to the public's acceptance of the designation, it was apparent today, however, that the interest of fight fans everywhere is quite as keen regarding the outcome of this bout as was the case in most of the great thampionship encounters of the past. Not that either Sharkey or Sehmeling rates consideration with the great heavyweights of the past 35 years, but the game demands a champion, and Thursday's winner, if the outcome is decisive, will be acclaimed king of the ring. With the fight only four days oft. there seemed to be a concreted effort on foot to belittle Sharkey and declare his condition unsatisfactory. This should he taken with a grain of salt. The Lithuanian is in the capable hands of Al Lacey, who trained America's Olympic boxers for the 1928 games at Amsterdam, and we have it on the word of Al that Sharkey will answer the opening bell fit for the fight of his life. Earlier in the training campaign, Sehmeling disappointed those who had hoped to find him a real won-iH-man of the ring, one capable of i-psettling precedent, laying off for a year and still coming back ready io light tor the heavyweight title. Those who watched the German youth found him just an ordinary heavyweight, engaged in battering fifth rate sparring partners in the hope of establishing an impressive record of knockouts during training, Just as Sehmeling apes Dempsey in the ring, so did he imitate the manassa mauler's trainhir tactics, knocking down huge

Talk less and play better is the ♦ advice to golfers of one of the world's most noted if not adept golfers. It was the remark of John D. Rockefeller, Sr., as he finished his round on the private links at his home at Lakewood,

Lakewood. N. J.. June 9 —John D. Rockefeller. Sr., is now giving out advice instead of dimes! Whether last Fall's stock market crash has anything to do with this economy is not known. The fact remains, however, that the world's richest man recently reduced his ten-cent gifts to the donation of nickel pieces and now gives away the cheapest thing in the world — words as advice. Paired with the Rev. J. J. Darling. of the Presbyterian Church of Lakewood, the nonogenarian oil king the other day won a seven-hole, one-ball foursome. Recently Rockefeller reduced his daily nine holes to seven. Their opponents were the Rev. Dr. H. E. Brooks, the financier's former pastor, and the Rev. R. A. Conover, Methodist minister of The RockefellerDarling team breezed home with a 75 to 80 victory. As the quartette quit the green at the last hole, Rockefeller told his observant partner, "If they talked less and played better, they’d be better off". No shining nickel or dime, however. made its appearance.

For many years Mr. Rockefeller has given away new dimes to people he met on the street, in theatres or on golf courses. Izist March he cut his usual gift to a nickel. At the same time he also blossomed, forth as a poet, giving out a card containing a verse with each 5-cent piece. The lines on the card read: “I was early taught to work as well as play; My life has been one long, happy holiday— Full of work and full of play. I dropped the worry on the way And God was good to me every day.” This was signed "John D. Rockefeller.” Twenty years ago the life of the world's richest man, who has just turned ninety, was despaired of. At that time he suffered from mysterious digestive maladies. Doctors say Rokefeller was saved at that time by subsisting on a diet of human milk. Today he can eat sparingly of other foods and many physicians now predict he will live 1 to be a hundred.

ART COLLECTORS SHT AT BUYING SINCE EXPOSE Dealers Meet Dffieultv in Disposing of Paris Paintings By Richard D. McMillan (United Press Staff Correspondent) Paris. June 9—(UP)—A slump in buying in the world of art has set in following on revelations in five recent cases of alleged art frauds, including that of Jean Millet, grandson of the famous painter. Not only do Paris art dealers comj plain of falling off in trade; but some of them say people to whom they sold pictures during the past five years now wish the dealers to buy them back. At the same time as art gallery authorities are closely examining | n ’er the microscope tneir most prized paintings, private collectors uoluing their pictures up to the light, wondering the while how to <<•11 i the thousands of dollars they paid was not .10 much wasted num- * ey. With the fact well-known that the a markets of the world have been flooded in recent years with false M.llets. Cortots. Picassos and other works, private buyers naturally | hesitate to spend their money until a. y are no; going to be swindled. And such assurance is fiard to obtain. since even recognized authorities confess they have been duped and are unable to distinguish between many of the recent fakes and original works by the real artists. All this has repercussions, ju turn upon the artist colony of Monparnasse. Painters say tlie dealers ire now holding back from buying any works whatever, until clients i begin again to pay big prices for >ld masters, the--. restoring general confidence in the market. The Millet case, in which the painter's grandson and a companion ■re stil under arrest on charges of faking many pictures, makes the ' fifth sensational affair of the same i nature on the Continent recently First there was the affair at Lille I which still has its repercussions In this case, the Louvre bought two supposed Watteaus for a million and I a half francs, but the works have tow been shown to be by Quillard, one of Watteau’s pupils. The Lille police have called in experts to examine other pictures ffouud in a garret where, it is alleged faked pictures were produced on a large scale. Three other art fraud cases are now before the French Courts. In one of the.e affairs a French countess in involved. It is .charged that she was an accomplice I in picture frauds by means of whien , she was able to maintain the high ;o ial life to which she had always ' been acct.: omed, but which had become impossible owing to financial ' reserves. o
