FTankie Callahan put a crimp In the pugilistlo career of Faddy Clancy at th Indiana Harbor Auditorium last night when he slipped over a scries of lightning punches for a knockout In the l.th tcund. The fight began slowly, but the pace Increased with each round. Clancy wa prone to clinch and seemed to prefer the close-in fighting rather than to toe-to-toe battle which Callahan tried to force. Neither fighter was able to rain any advantage in tho opening rounds end the first fail came after Callahan had rushed Clancy to the ropes and followed with, several punches to the paw and head. Clancy took the count for six and made a game attempt to Cvtne back. Callahan grain sent him to he floor for four counts ivith head blows and soon after he was on his feet fgaln Callaha"h scored a clean knockout by wicked labs to the head and Jaws

wnien tjlaney was unahle to parry. The first bout cf the double wlndup rpded after the second round In which Morris Johnson split Tlrnmy McCarthy's lip with a right uppercut. McCarthy finished the round but refused to continue the fight at the beginning of the tfe'rd round. The preliminary bout between Toung Fo'-ky of Kensington and Bobby Mooo of Gary resulted In a win for Moon on a foul in the third round. Porky had the bolter of the bout all through, but got ver-anxious In the third and bit Moon vhile he was down. Callahan of Chicago substituted for Tommy Holderson of the Southwest Side in the mala bout of the evening. Holderson was unable to appear because of tlekness. Jeff Bowers of East Chicago raereed the first two bouts and Morris Cham-T-aign of Hammond was referes of tho Ural windup.

By its. W. SOC1TK. f STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICEl MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Ieo. 6. Everybody will have a pretty fair sort of an idea by tonight just how good Jimmy

Wilds is or will be among the bantamweights of this country. The little Englist battler makes his firt American appearance in the ring tonight against Jack Sharkey, an Italian boy from New York, the route iMns ten rounds. There will be no official decision rendered in case the thing goes tho falZ distance. Not in a good many months has such Interest been displayed In a ring encounter in this section of the country. It looks as though there would be a sellout housJ. It is my opinion that Sharkey will give the stranger a pretty good sort of a battle because he is constantly pulling the moat, unexpected tricks in the ring and may be counted upon at this tim

to rather dazzle Wilde with the speed he will show. Wilde will find quite an unusual man in front of him when the first bell is sounded for action. Sharkey. I should say, is even more unusual than Fal Moor and is possessed of considerably more speed. When he starts stepping around, the Briton is apt to find a safe and sane method of procedure. The general opinion seems to be that Sharkey is nothing but a set-up for the great little Welshman, but I cannot see this, since Jack has done, almost everything that has been asked of him and is liable to KprinR something in the nature of a surprise this time.

Wilde made an excellent impression

It will be the first up and fish flght ever held In these parts, Borchert having requested the ringsiders to put on evening duds. Said request was made In honor of Jimmy Wilde, the noted English flyweight, who is engaging Jack Sharkey. New York bantam, in the wlndup. It la customary at the National Sporting Club in London, where Wilde has boxed often, for the glad rags to predominate In the arena. Borchert dug up this idea because he has a Tuxedo and thinks the 1ght of expansive white shirt fronts and black broadcloth will makes Jolmes feel right at 'ome when the gloves start to flying.
