ORGANIZED AMATEURS OF CITY IN FOURTH WEEK OF LEAGUE PLAY

RIVALRY BATTLE TONIGHT Jack and Jim, Boston Big Fellows, Ready for Punch Duel. By Paul VV. White United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 20.—An errant sun which has been playing hide and seek with New York for several days, shone at intervals this morning and it looked as though the battle between Jack Sharkey and Jim Maloney was on. The Boston heavyweights scheduled to fight each other at-the Yankee stadium tonight in the belief that victory will mean a chance at the crown of Gene Tunney, were hopeful that rain would not intervene to cause another postponement. Thursday’s postponement will aid the gate receipts, Tex Rickard believes. Tex figures that the gate will increase about $75,000.

Scripps-Howard Radio Treat

mNDIANAPOLIS fistic fans and boxing followers over the State and country will receive a blow-by-blow radio account of the Sharkey-Maloney fight in New York tonight. The Scripps-Howard league of newspapers, which includes The Indianapolis Times, arranged for the rare radio fistic treat. Major Andrew White will describe the scheduled fifteen-round battle. White will start broadcasting at 10 o’clock, eastern daylight saving time (8 o’clock Indianapolis time). ' Tune in one one of the following stations: WJZ, WBZ, WBZA, KDKA, WRC, WJR and KYW. ' T "Those who were in doubt about coming will be sure to be there now,” he argued. "I hated to break my streak of luck, but it ought to pay me after all. I owe my clients a dry night after that drenching at Philadelphia.” Several hundred Boston rooters, who started rumbling toward New York Thursday before the weather called a halt to the fight, were forced to spend the night in Manhattan. Additional trains brought other fans today from Boston, where the outcome of this fight is awaited with as much interest as the trans-Atlantic attempt of young Lindbergh. Although most of the visitors from New England beleive Sharkey witil triumph, most of the betting here slightly favored maloney. Some bets were made at even money and in others the odds went as high as 10 to 7 on Maloney. Jim weighed 204 pounds Thursday after doing a little work at his headquarters. Jack, tfter a surprisingly intense workout at a gymnasium, weighed 192 pounds. I fthe customary rain again spoils the fight the card will be put over until Saturday night.
