Tom Sharkey to Boss Bout

Old-Time Fistic Idol Appointed Referee of Local Mat Go.

Sailor Tom Sharkey, who bowled over many good heavyweight boxer: in his day, has turned wrestling referee, and is to appear in Sports Arena ring next Tuesday night, Matchmaker Lloyd Carter of the Hercules A. C. said today. The man whom James J. Corbett called “the only man I ever was afraid of” is to handle one of the events on the all-heavyweight wrestling program which Carter is arranging. The record books show that Sharkey was the only battler ever to go 45 rounds with James J. Jeffries, whom Sailor Tom calls “the greatest heavyweight of all time.” They fought 25 rounds at Coney Island and 20 rounds at San Francisco, end there were no knockdowns in either scrap. Sharkey never weighed more than .180, but took on all comers. When he faced Jeffries, he weighed 177 pounds and was 5 feet 812 inches tall, ‘while James J. tipped the scales at 202 and stood 6 feet 32 inch. Still hale and hearty at 62, Sharkey is proud of his exccllient physical condition. He visited Indianapolis recently. +Old-time fight fans are expected to turn out to see the veteran strut his stuff. Matchmaker Carter is completing his card today. Dick (Texas Tornado) Raines and Rowdy Rudy Laditzi, are scheduled for action in the two top events, and strong opponents are being sought.

Some Cri Critics Think Negro Is Glove Shy

Ring Officials. Are Warned to Keep Sharp Eye on Strange Match.

BY HARRY GRAYSON Sports Editor, NEA Service NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—Having permitted the venerable Jack Sharkey to come back for no apparent reason, the New York Boxing Commission has been advised by close

followers of the glove sport to keep |

an eye on the former champion’s match with Joe Louis at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night. ' The purpose of the 10-round, contest obviously is to rebuild Louis, and Sharkey has been mixed up in so many unsatisfactory affairs of the ring that every angle before and during the bout should be carefully scrutinized. If Louis can fight half as good as he was supposed to be able to before Max Schmeling dipped the chocolate wonder boy in resin, he should belt out Sharkey in three or four rounds. However, the young Negro has looked so bad in workouts that trained observers would not be surprised at anything.

- Knocked Out by Primo

Here we find the strange spectacle of a 34-year-old Sharkey, who has not had a major battle since 1933, and who then was knocked out by Primo Carnera and subsequently beaten by King Levinsky and Tommy Loughran, being conceded by many a good chance of spilling a Louis who only two months ago was being compared with immortals of the heavyweight division. Nothing that Sharkey has done has brought this condition about. The former sailor's comeback to date consists of a knockout of Unknown Winston, which he had to perform twice to convince Massa~chusetts boxing officials that it was on the level; a defeat and only a draw in a return match with the light-hitting. Tony Shucco, and a decision over Phil Brubaker, a green youngster. Reason for Shift

Louis’ performances in training at Pompton Lakes alone are responsi-

ble for the shift to Sharkey. Some|-

believe that Schmeling knocked all the fight out of the Dark Angel, and left him punch shy. Even if Louis has not yet cor-

rected his fault of cafrying-his left |-

guard too low and is a mark for right-hand ghots, he shouldn't have, too much to worry about in Sharkey, who wasn't a particularly good hitter in his best days. We repeat that it is difficult to imagine the passe Sharkey of today

ironing out the Louis who with-|

stood Schemling’s sustained attack for 12 rounds. That would be as hard to understand as Sharkey’s return to the wars. He has all the money he will ever need. : Jack Is Good Boxer

Nevertheless, Sharkey is capable of outboxing Louis, particularly if dusky Joe has lost the urge. Mechanically, the Lithuanian is—or was—plenty good enough. If Louis loses to Sharkey, he will go down in ‘the books as the most qver-rated heavyweight - that ever lived. ' Joe may be the victim of having been rushed along too quickly'and built too highly at that. Louis fooled the canny Jack Blackburn, trainer, as well as himself. He commenced to believe all that was being said about him, It went to his head. Naturally, the Schmeling disaster knocked some common sense into Joe's head. The question is whether it knocked too much fighting sense out of it.
