G, VOSBURGH (Asgociated Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK, July 20.—If tue battle between Jack Dempsey anil ack Sharkey tomorrow is to have i early knockout ending, the re ords' point to Dempsey as the maa Imore likely to produce it Coming out of corn the double-barreled “kayo” and | roady, the Dempsoy floored 25 of first-round knockouts in the course of his brilliant career. That sav age offense at the start may be his best defense against Sharkey who' has the advantage of youth’s superior stamina in a long-drawn battle. To add Hu rouni his ’r cocked of old ex-gob to his firs'- i Dempsey mus: k to 1919, year in which he won the has he finished a foe in the frame. Sharkey's shorter record shows but one fi ound knockout, scor- ed over Bi Muldoon in 1924, Joth have been knocked out Once in each career the mighty has fallen. Demps conquernr Firgman Jim Flynn who down ed him for the count in one round in 1917, Sharkey’s was Romero Rojas who knocked the 0y helpless in the night in 1924, Analysis of the evolution of Sharkey’s punch shows a startling increase in its power in. the years that have dampened the dynamite in Dempsey's fists. From a “fighter without punch” Sharkey_became this @ dangerous hitter who Mike MecTigue so severely title fir a hed the referee stopped the bout, and who| knocked out Jim: Maloney in the fifth round. These were his last two fights. In them Sharkey seem- ed to find and use, almost for the first time, the devastating power of his punch. While S| key's victory over Wills last fail was ‘won on a foul, the Lithuaniaa had all the better of it and that battle sorved to rank him amoug the logical contenders for the titie. Outstanding among Dempsey’s great fights is his three-round knockout of Jess Willard in To- ledo in 1919 for the champion- ship. In jts defonse he knocked out Billy Miske in 3 rounds, Bill Bren- nan in 12, Georges Carpentier in 4, Luis Firpo in 2 and won from Tom Gibbons in 15, before Gene Tunney outfought him to win the crown in 10 rounds at Philadelphia Dempe-y at 32 is a yeteran of 78 fights of which he k 47 by knocdkouts, won 11, drew 4 and lost 3. Ten were exhibitions and thoee no-decisions. Sharkey af 25 has to his credit 10 knockouts and 17 victories ia 3 ishts He lost 4 and 2 were nn-d cigions.
