SCHMEUNGTO i FIGHT ANYONE New York, Jan. 5.- -(U.R) —Just as i a matter of record, Max Sclimeling wants it known that lie has no fear ■.if Jack Sharkey. "I'm not afraid of Sharkey,” the German champion told the United Press today. "I'll fight him anytime Joe Jacobs makes the match. I jive known ever since I took his i i best punches in our fight two years | jago that I could heat hini. I want] 'to prove it to the public. But of I course if Joe decides there is more ’money fighting Walker ami Dempi sey. Mr. Sharkey will have to wait j until next year." And Joe Jacobs, as manager oi !the champion, indicated that .Shar- - key's chances of securing a championship limit in 1932 were entirely up to the Bostonian's most hated rival —Jack Dempsey. "If 1 have my way Max will fight three times this year -Walker in i February, Dempsey in June and [ Sharkey in September," Jacobs Lsa**. "However, if Dempsey wants to ! postpone his 'comeback' until Sepi tember, Sharkey is out ot the picI ture tor 1932. I'd be a sucker to I take Sharkey w hen Dempsey was ! | available. If Dempsey is going to I fight at all it must lie this year, i He still is the best drawing card jin the game. "Sharkey refused to fight Stribli ing in 1932 to decide who would get! the first crack at the title. He i | flopped against Walker last fall. Tuen after beating Camera instead lot' going out and licking Loughran, | Walker and all the other claim-1 I ants he decided he wouldn't fight! anyone except Dempsey or Schmel I I ing. "You see Sharkey never has been ■ | very good but giving anyone else |a chance. Where does he have any kick if we stall him off and pick i inn Hie easy monev?" i ■ Jacobs and bls fighter are inter-1 jested chiefly in signing contracts] son the Walker match at Miami next] month. Max. arriving in New York] | yesterday on the S. S. Europa aft. rl ]a six-nioutli visit to Germany, ap ’ beared in almost perfect physical I condition. Asked if lie expected difficulty because Walker is a small man, Max said it made no difference to him whether his foes were, large or small, Schmeling will make his first i American ring appearance at Pat-! erson. N. J.. Thursday in a three-! | round exhibition against three! sparring partners. After four a.I-1 |ditional exhibitions lie will leave! | for Florida. Jan. 15, and start training for the Walker bout. He will! train at Palm Beach, starting Jan. I 2b and expects to lie in top shape ! to meet Mickey on Feb. 25.
