Tribesmen Get Good Break in Selection of Spring Training Camp
Sharkey Is 2-1 Favorite to Beat Stribling in Big Florida Battle Tonight Odds Mount Steadily on Boston Bruiser; Scripps-Howard Newspapers Put Fight on Giant NBC Chain Over Both Networks.
BY FRANK GETTY United PreM Sport* Editor MIAMI BEACH, Fia., Feb. 27. Tex Rickard’s dream cornes true tonight. A fashionable throng ’n evening dress or flannels and summer finery, a crowd of nearly 40,000, including all those notables the late promoter envisioned at the ringside of this last of his great ventures in fight promotion, will watch Jack Sharkey of Boston and Young Stribling, pride of the southland, box ten rounds to a decision. Sharkey is a heavy favorite, with the odds upon his chances of victory over the lithe young southerner mounting steadily towards 2 to 1. Jack should win this fight handily, although the hopes of the south are pinned to the stout right arm of Stribling. The south never has bred a heavyweight champipn, and the blackeyed youngster who has his most Important chance tonight promises to give all he’s got in his bid to take this first big step .upwards towards the now vacant title. May Reach $400,000 Jack Dempsey, whose amazing development in the role of promoter has made possible the successful culmination of the last fistic venture of his pal, Tex Rickard, said this morning that the last minute rush for tickets had swept the gate receipts well up past the $350,000 mark, and that the proceeds of the affair might approach $400,000. Fair weather is predicted for the bout, but then fair weather always is promised by Floridians. The main event will start at 9 o’clock (Indianapolis time), at which time it will be broadcast by newspapers over the entire country on a hookup of the National Broadcasting Company, including both the red and blue networks of stations. Both fighters made final statements to the United Press today: Sharkey—l’m in better shape for this fight than ever before and can’t miss. If you’ll look back over some of the really good heavyweights I’ve fought and beaten you’ll figure for yourself that Stribling is not in my class. I’m making no special promises about knocking him out. It all depends upon him giving me a fight, in which case I’ll stop him so quickly you’ll be surprised. Stribling—l would rather let my work in the ring tonight do the talking for me. I have been trying to get Sharkey into the ring with me for a long time. Tonight I’ll show you why he has been so reluctant to meet me, why he refused to make the match until he practically was driven into it by an offer of SIOO,OOO, whereas I was willing to fight for nothing. Weigh in at 2:30 The Georgia boy was up early for a little light exercise at daybreak, then back to an easy chair for a long rest, preserving his poundage. The men will weigh in this afternoon at 2:30 at the Miami Beach Kennel Club, when it wil be discldfeed that the Bostonian has a weight advantage of some ten pounds over his rival. While Stribling is outweighed, he is rated as hard a hitter as Sharkey, and the difference in weight may not prove a surmountable handicap to the Georgian. But it certainly is no help.

Ferd Schupp Goes Over Big on Indians’ New Grounds. HAUSER LOOKS GOOD Newest Sensation Is Young Florida Hilcler. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor SARASOTA, Fla Feb. 27.—1f the current brand of weather and other spring training camp conditions hold out, the Indians will have the odds in their favor toward a gala start in the chase for another American Association pennant. In other words, dreams of a “big
league” training camp evidently have come true. Sunshine was boiling hot Tuesday and although the breeze from the gulf was sharp, the athletes registered no complaints as they went through the paces and perspired copiously. With the exception of Byron Speece every pitcher in camp took turn on the mound
&
during batting practice and even the veteran Ferd Schupp performed in the manner of an ambitious rookie. He teamed up with Teachout from the Pacific Coast and unloaded a few pointers to the tall youth while practicing on the mound. Following that, Schupp cut a few loose while facing hitters and caused them to beg for mercy. And in the the late afternoon Ferd went fishing with Speece and Manager Betzel. Schupp also “shagged” in the outfield and topped it off with a run around the park much to the amazement of Tribe club officials. “Best camp I’ve ever been in,” Ferd said, “and I think I’ll bear down and try to have a big year.” Clubhouse cheers followed that statement because the opinion is general in baseball that Schupp can pitch winning ball when in the mood. Tucker Gets a Hand A player whom the club bosses didn’t know they had on the roster drew plaudits of Manager Betzel Tuesday. He is pitcher Tucker, a right-hander who drifted in Tuesday morning with the information he had ben sent to Sarasota by the former owner of the defunct Sanford team <iff the Florida State League. Checking him up, Secretary Clauer finally recalled some correspondence with Sanford and Tucker was given a uniform and put to work. The youth went about the business of throwing in an experienced way and an interview disclosed he is a former collegian from Western State Teachers’ college of Kentucky and also a school teacher. He made good in a day with Boss Betzel and will be retained for further observation. George Hauser, southpaw twirler, brother or Joe Hauser, well-known first sacker, was another standout in Tuesday’s drill. It’s too early to gain a line on his control, but at the plate he swings like his heavy hitting brother and he informed Betzel he often had played the outfield because of his ability to slam the horsehide. Head for Big Fight Trainer Jim Pierce was to be in charge of the Indians in today’s practice owning to the absence of other bosses. Manager Betzel, Owner Perry, Coach Corriden and Secretary Clauer left Sarasota Tuesday night by train for Miami Beach to attend the big fight between Sharkey and Stribling and they will be away until Thursday morning. A long train carried Sarasota fistic fans to Miami and it was an all-night journey. Hoosier members of the party purchased $25 fight tickets in advance; *otherwise they would have remained in Sarasota, saved train fare and time by listening to the Scnpps-Howard newspapers’ radio broadcast of the event. Stribling money took Sarasota by storm Tuesday when it was rumored around local sport circles the bout “was in the lug’' for the southern heavyweight. “Two men from Miami brought the ‘word’ about it,” was the only explanation offered and yet there were a few men in town backing Sharkey at even money on small bets. The big coin was all Stribling.

The crowd came up roaring and Wiggins strode to his coiner grinning. Just more proof that the old master of the fisticuffs knows what draws ’em in at the gate.
