Louis, making his first start to come back, since being knocked | out by Max Schmeling, of Ger- many, in the same ring, two months ago, floored Sharkey twice for the | count of nine in the second round Then Louis put over two hard lefts to end the fight after one | minute and two seconds of fighting in the third round. Swarms Over Jack The negro swarmed over the 33- year-old Sharkey from the start, never giving the former champion @« chance to land a clean blow. A right to the jaw floored Shar- key the first time in the second ! round and a series of rights and lefts to the head did the same| thing before the bell. Louis caught Jack with another | hard right early in the third round | and when the former champion got to his feet again he did so only to run into a barrage that sent him reeling to the mat for the full count of ten. Louis weighed 199% pounds and Sharkey tipped the scales at 197% pounds. ., GAMES TUESDAY Pacific Coast League Portland 4, 1; Los Angeles 5, 10. First game 11 innings. Seattle 1; San Francisco 4.
