Louis Heavier at Weigh-in for Big Bout

Holds Slight Margin Over Sharkey; Scrap to Go On Air Tonight.

How They Compare By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—How Joe Louis and Jack Sharkey compare for tonight's heavyweight bout:

ht . ce... 5 ft. 1134 in. 44 in.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—Jack Sharkey and Joe Louis, who go to the battle pit tonight at Yankee Stadium to decide which one shall plod upward toward a heavyweight title chance, appeared in perfect condition as they weighed in_ this afternoon. The weighing ceremonies took place at the Hippodrome Theater. The Negro boy held a slight edge in the poundage, 1993 to 197%. Sharkey was the first man to be examined by Dr. William H. Walker, New York State Athletic Commission physician. As Walker applied his stethoscope to Sharkey’s chest, the Mariner,” said: “Looks like you're the most nervous man in the building, Doc!” Sharkey wore a two-day growth of black beard and didn’t say much. As always, Jack stared at every one with his “hypnotic” eye. Louis sat behind the scales as Sharkey was checked in. He wore a green gabardine jacket over his bare shoulders, oxfords and a pair of ring trunks. .

Louis Speaks Up

Neither fighter spoke to the other. They merely stared. When Louis was informed Heavyweight Champion Jimmy Braddock was suffering an injured hand, he said, “I'm sorry to hear of that. But it looks better for me because I might get to meet Schmeling. I wish I was fighting Max tonight. Sharkey’s blood pressure was 142 —172. His normal pulse was 62 and after exercise it was 74, taking only 10 seconds to return to normal. Louis’ blood pressure was 112-72. His pulse normal was 72 and after exercise 78, returning to normal in 10 seconds. His reflexes were normal. «Dr. Charles Bles, who examined Louis’ heart, said: ” “With that heart you. ought to live to be a million years old.”

‘Good Luck’ Says Jack After the ceremonies, Sharkey departed, turning around and saying to Louis: “Good luck tonight.” “Thank you,” Louis replied. The Detroit Negro was quiet throughout. For the first time at a weighing-in a few straggly whiskers were noticed on his chin. Other weights for preliminaries: Frankie Connolly, Boston, 236, vs. Sandy MacDonald, Dallas, Tex., 200'2 (6); Lou Nova, San Francisco, 193%, vs. Tom Ponte, Caldwell, N. J., 198° (6); Dave Clark, Detroit, 175%, vs. Bud Mignault, Brockton, Mass., 169% (6). The “battle of the unknown quantity” is to go 10 rounds or less between Louis, 22-year-old Detroit youth, and Jack Sharkey, 33-year-old ex-heavyweight champion from Boston—both on the treacherous comeback trail. A crowd of 45,000 or more will pay upwards of $200,000. Two months ago Sharkey would have had trouble getting a job as sparring partner for the Brown Bomber. Today Sharkey talks about fighting for the heavyweight title next year.

‘He figures Louis is a soft touch.

From the. day he exploded the myth of invincibility that cloaked Harry Wills in 1926 until he was knocked out by Primo Carnera'’s “invisible punch” and lost his title, Sharkey has been the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of the boxing game. No one ever has been able to tell what to expect {from the temperamental Lithuanian. Two and a half years of soft living haven't changed his spots. No one can tell what he will do when he faces the young

Negro.

Joe ‘Expects Tough Fight’ Louis, not the supremely confident warrior of pre-Schmeling days, is definitely a “Mr. X.” He is far from the fierce, two-fisted fighting machine which annihilated sparring partners in training sessions prior te his K. O. by Max Schmeling. He actually backed away from spar mates in his Pompton Lakes camp. There is no talk of what round he'll get his man in. He merely says, “I expect a tough fight.” . Many competent critics believe that Louis never will shake off the effects of the terrific beating he took from Schmeling. Jack Demp-

Indians Lose Fifth Place to Red Birds

Page Due on Tribe Mound Tonight; Extra-Inning Thriller Dropped.

The battle for fifth place in ths A. A. went five extra rounds at Perry Stadium last night and the decision was taken down Dy the Columbus Red Birds, 4 to 2. It was a thriller the entire route and sparkled with snappy fielding plays. Lefty Bob Logan of the Indians engaged in a mound struggle with Bill McGee, right-hander, and it was . McGee who started the winning rally for the visitors in the foure teenth inning with a single. Logan held the Birds to nine hits, but three of the blows were bunched in the fourteenth, The Redskins collected 15 safeties. McGee was ine vincible in the clutches, however, and 12 home pastimers were left stranded. } Two Tilts Tomorrow

Vance Page is slated to do the chucking for the Tribesters in the second of the series tonight. Two games will be played tomorrow, one at 4:15 ang the second under the lights at 8:15. The series will be brought to a close on Thursday, after which the Toledo Hens will appear at the stadium to remain through Sunday. With the score standing 2-all, McGee opened the fourteenth with

‘| a single last night and Bush popped

out trying to sacrifice. Padgett forced McGee, but Winsett, the slugger, combed a whistling double to center and Padgett tallied to break the deadlock. Cullop was handed an intentional pass, but Owen came through with his third hit of the tussle and Winsett scored. Gutteridge sent a deep fly to Taylor for the third out. . The Hoosiers scored in the first and eighth. In the opening stanza singles by Fausett and Eckhardt and a double steal registered a marker, and in the eighth Taylor tripled and tallied on Siebert’s long fly.

Nine Scoreless Rounds

Columbus put a brace of runs across in the fourth and then was blanked by Logan for nine rounds. Padgett drew a pass after one away in the fourth and was forced by Winsett. Nick Cullop doubled and Winsett pulled up at third. Catcher Owen then smacked a single to left and it batted in two runs. . It was “ladies’ night” and total attendance was about 7000. Fancy fielding plays were furned in by Siebert and PFausett that knocked down hits. In the second frame the fans were given a thrill when Gutteridge sent a drive ta deep center and was cut down at the plate by two perfect throws, Berger to Bluege to Riddle. Siebert had five assists at first base, an une ystial record of assists for that stae on.
