Butler, De Pauw in Fracas

Farrell Says Jack Sharkey Ought to Win Winter Fistic Classic NEA Sports Editor Holds Opposite View to Dempsey, Who Figures Boston Sailor Has Weakness.

BY HENRY L. FARRELL NEA Service Sports Editor MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 22. The rather indolent and carefree way in which Jack Sharkey and Bill Stribling go about their preparations for their coming fight make it difficult for even the real experts who look them over to get a real slant on their form. Since Gene Tunney, before his fight with Dempsey, started the vogue of training on the golf links or in the library with a book and allowed his whims to regulate !•- boxing schedule, the old-fashioned ways of judging fighters have become worthless. The result, in this particular case, is that almost every one came to the scene with an opinion formed in advance. They came thinking that Sharkey is a cinch or that Young Stribling is in and they are still sticking to their own opinions. It is our personal opinion that Sharkey ought to win. He ought to have beaten Dempsey and on form he would have to have been given a chance in a fight against Tunney. Both Like to Hold But he has a habit of being careless, vain or whatever name you want to hang on it when he gets mto the ring. He has had some great fights and some terrible fights and no one can tell what his mood will be in when he gets into the ring with Stribling. But as many bad fights as Sharkey has had he never gave such a bad exhibition as Stribling did against Paul Berlenbach. It is the memory of the fight that is prompting some heavy money to be offered on Sharkey. It is our opinion that it may be a very great fight or a terrible fight. If it goes beyond five rounds the strongest referee in the world will be needed to pry them apart hecause Sharkey likes to hold and Stribling knows countless acrobatic tricks and holds. “Pa” Satisfied Dempsey told me he thought that Stribling ought to win. “All Stribling has to do is crowd him,” he said, “if he stays on top of him, he can beat him. But if he steps back any. Sharkey will clip his ears off.” “The southern newspaper men— Guy Butler, Fred Digby and, Ed Danforth—who know Stribling a lot better than we do, think that he is too fine. Ta* Stribling, however,

who has trained and handled his boy enough to know about liira, says that he is just on the proper edge.” Sharkey’s sparring partners, to the lay observer, are infinitely better than Stribling’s, but “Pa” Stribling has an answer for that. “We make our plans for every fight,” he said. “The boy is practicing punches. He knows what he is doing and we have partners to act as different kinds of targets.”

THIS recent picture of Hoosierdom’s fisticuff veteran serves as ample proof that Charles Frederick Wiggins has stopped a lot of punches in his long career, despite the fact that he has won the major portion of engagements. The big fellow has been climbing through the ropes for many, many years, and he’ll be in there again at the Armory next Tuesday night when he mixes in the Legion main go with George Gemus of Philadelphia, who advertises himself as a trial horse for heavyweights.
