Buckley told McMahon that his man was through with eliminations of the type of the proposed Risko bout and in addition rejected the possibility of a fight with Jack De- «{laney, The bout with Risko was to have been staged in New York on March 12, McMahon at once dispatched a telegram to Tex Rickard in Miami, Fla, informing him of Sharkey’s demand. Buckley said that since Tunney had been reported anxious to defend his title twice next summer, Shar- key was willing to take him on in June leaving a September date to Dempsey. Ready For Either | “Jack wants to meet Gene first of all, but if that is impossible, he is ready to meet Dempsey in June or anytime but he is not going to go over the ground he has already covered. ‘Twenty-two out of 23 sporting writers gave Sharkey the decision lin his ‘draw’ with Heeney and there {is no question but that Jack is the | logical contender. | “Risko is out and so is Jack De- laney.

HAGEN SAYS I’m a firm believer in the power of psychology as relating to golf or oy other sport. ie ’m with these footballcoaches every minute who have cards: plas- tered all over the player's dressing room to this effect, “The team that won't be beat can’t be beat,” “Think victory,” “Have the will to win” and the like. No doubt there are a lot of better golf players than I am, but not until the game or tournament in which Iam participating is over and some player, other than ba been declared the winner, am I convinced of e fact. Then the proof is only temporary. The ‘winner, as well as any other player who finished ahead, only has proved to me that in said event they were better than me. However, that doesn’t hold good for the next game or tournament, for fame is fleeting in golf. I have never entered any competitive golf match with a thought other than that I was going to win. No matter how badly things might break for me, I always cling to the belief that my opponents may run into just as much tough luck. While often disgusted, I am never discouraged oyer a poor shot from the tee. It is my thought that a good Walter Hagen recovery will always wipe out a shot that lands in the rough. My opponents fear me because they know I never quit, no matter how poorly I am playing. Incidentally, there is a reverse English to the tract about Dec. 1. power af psychology. For when players realize some one who never quits is a close contender, a player noted for coming from behind, that thought doesn’t tend to make their play any steadier.
