334 ORTS N SPORTS. 45 . Sharkey Shows Convincing Speed and Punching Ability in Stopping Loughran JACKS SPEEDY WIN ASTONISHES ROWD Scores Technical Knockout! in Third Round With Blow to Jaw. BY ALAN GOULD, soriated Press Sports Editor. A EW YORK, September 27.—The Jekyll and Hyde of the heavy- weights, Jack Sharkey, has put | i the big punch back in the ple- wre, jusi 8s it seemed that there wasn't & man-sized wallop left in the ranks. The big Boston sailor ex- ploded it last night, without the slight- est warning, to accomplish the down- fall of Tommy Loughran, astonish a | crowd of 45,000 spectators and restore himself to the top of the heavyweight | brigade that has been battling so list- | lessly for the title left by Gene Tunney. Sharkey, in the most convincing ex- | hibition of speed and punching skill he | has shown in more than_ two years, | knocked out the handsome Philadelphia | boxing master in the third round of a | 15-round match at the Yankee Stadium. | In Il than seven minutes of actual | fighting—after 27 seconds of the third round had elapsed—Sharkey’s unex- pectedly viclous attack crushed _the | eavyweight hopes of the retired ruler of the 175-pound division. Sharkey Is Aggressive. Forcing the fight from the outset, Sharkey rushed Loughran to the ropes | 8t the start of the third round, doubled him up with a left to the body, an-| other left to the head and dropped the startled, wilting Philadelphian with a smashing right uppercut to the jaw. Loughran arose at the count of five, | more from instinct than anything else, staggering toward a neutral corner, his back to Sharkey as Referee Lou Mag- nolia s‘epped in to keep the rampant sailor from renewing his attack. Unbhesitatingly, Magnolia stopped the | fight, for Loughran, though on his feet, | was in a complete daze, has arms hang- | ing ana helpless. It was a technical | knockout, but if ever a man was thor- | oughly “out on his feet,” it was Tommy, too dazed to know wh. * had happened; that his dreams of scaiing the heavy- weight heights had been completely shattered. It was the first knockout of Lough- ran's career: in fact, the first defeat he has met in four years. He took on 11 mord pounds to make his debut as a heavyweight last night, but it did not do him any good. He was outclassed and outpunched by the bigger, stronger and more aggressive Sharkey. Even more startling was the way Loughran, who actually entered the ring a slight favorite, was outboxed during the brief period of battle and in the same ring where the light-heavyweight king had last defended his 175-pound title in a masterful exhibition just a few weeks ago. Noted as a slow starter, Loughran never had a chance to start. Career Is Checkered. Sharkey, an “in-and-outer” ever since | his first rush toward the top two years ago was abruptly checked by the big punch of Jack Dempsey, fought like a champion. Ever since he became a threatening figure, Sharkey has ap- peared to have a champion’s equipment —speed, strength, craft and the wallop. He looked great when he beat Wills and Maloney, great for a round against Dempsey, but he was unimpressive later against Heeney, McTigue, Risko and Stribling. The nearest to his concen- trated fighting fury of last night that he ever exhibited before was in knock- ing out Jack Delaney at the Garden, | but there has always been a tendency | to_“toss that one out.” | i In polishing off Loughran Sharkey whipped with remarkable ease the boxer who had been picked by many to succeed Tunney and by most critics at least as “the man to beat” before any new king of the heavyweights is crowned. As a result Sharkey un- doubtedly will star in the next and perhaps final heavyweight test, slated for Miami, with Max Schmeling, the clouting German, as his probable foe, unless the Englishman, Phil Scott, has | a reply to the challenge he made to| the winner last night. i Shows Fighting Spirit. | ‘The -Sharkey of last night was a far ery from the cautious counter-puncher who scored a close decision over Strib- ling at Miami Beach seven months ago. | Somewhere the Boston tar recovered | the fighting spark. He was the old, | snarling, vicious Sharkey. In superb | condition at 196 pounds completely confident, he took the ‘“booes” from the crowd as though he enjoyed it. A _few moments later he was taking Loughran’s light jabs just as carelessly and leaping into his foe. | Only two real blows were landed in | the first round of sparring, but both | were by Sharkey, & left, to the body and | a hard right to the head. In the second round, the sailor took complete com- mand, astonishing the crowd as well | as the experts by the ease with which he outboxed the clever Philadelphian, punishing him with well timed blows to the head and body. The third round and Loughran's finish, after a sha but decisive flurry along the ropes, came so quickly that the biggest crowd of the outdoor season was almost as dazed as Tommy when he wabbled to his feet, nch-drunk, after the one and only ockdown of the bout.

YANKEE STADIUM, NEW YORK, September 27.—I was beaten by a great fighter here last night. Knocked out in the third round by Jack Sharkey. But I don't count mysell out of the chase for the heavyweight championship yet. Other men have been beaten and come back and that’s what I'm going to do. I went into that fight thoroughly convinced that I was going to win. I can't understand yet just what happened, Through the first round my left jab had Sharkey fooled. It kept him off balance. I made him lead just as I had pianned to do, and I made him miss. During the second round I fol- lowed the same plan. He landed a few left hooks to the stomach, but they didn't bother me. I felt that I had the right idea, that the plan I had worked out was going through successfully. The third round is still hazy in my mind. We came out. Sharkey rushed me back against the ropes. He landed a fairly light left hook on the chin. We clinched, and I broke at the word of the referee. As I backed they tell me Sharkey threw a right. Everything went blank. I have never been knocked out before, though I have been drop- ped only to come back to win, This time I got to my feet. I was hurt. There is no question of that, of course. But. I have | | squeezed through other hazardous | situations. If Magnolia hadn't stop- ped the fight I might have gotten | through this one. Fight in Detail Round One. At the bell they went to the center of the ring and each missed & left lead. | Sharkey landed a left hook to the stom- | ach and a left and right as they went into a clinch. They exchanged left jabs. Sharkey jabbed Loughran twite to the face and took a left jab to the jaw. They clinched. Tommy landed a light left to the face and followed with two more as Sharkey missed a right swing. Sharkey landed a right to the head, took a right to the body and reached Loughran with a left to the head. Loughran jabbed two.lefts to the face. Again Loughran landed a left jab to the head and they clinched. Sharkey caught Loughran with a left hook to the head. Loughran blocked a left to the head they clinched. It was Sharkey's round. The men were both fast and boxing beautifully. Round Two. ‘They sparred in the center of the ring. Loughran jabbed with his left and Sharkey landed a light left and a left and right to the body. They clinch- ed. Loughran blocked a left hook to right. Loughran put a right to the head and tied Sharkey up in a clinch. Loughran landed two lefts to the head followed by three jabs. Sharkey put a wicked left to the chin and fol- lowed with a right to the head, but Loughran was going away from the Loughran jabbed Sharkey twice and blocked a left to the head. Tommy landed a jab, but missed an uppercut. It was Loughran’s round. Round Three. Sharkey put Loughran down with a rlflx to the head. 'Tommy sat for a monient and then climbed to his feet, walking to a neutral corner. It was evident to all that he was out on his feet. Sharkey walked in back of him Magnolia waved him away and led Loughran to- his corner. i In a moment Loughran had recovered and shook hands with Sharkey, but he might as well have been counted out on the floor, as he knew nothing when he got up. Fighting, instinct alone brought Loughran to his feet. (Copyright, 1929, by North American News- Daper Alliance.) FEr e O U. S.

A. Golfer Tourney At Columbia Late Next Month HE women's championship tour- nament of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association will be played over the course of the Columbia Country Club on October 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25. Negotiations which have been in progress for the past few weeks, involv- ing several of the leading women golfers of the city who have promised to aid association, were concluded today with announcement_that the event will be held late in_October, although for & time it was feared that it would have to be abandoned because no club ap- peared to want to hold it and interest in the tournament was waning. Virginia Holzderber of the Baltimore Country Club, who won the title last year at Virginia Beach, will defend her laurels this year, Miss Holzderber now is in the Middle West and will play in the women's national champion- ship next week. The tourney will open with an 18- hole qualifying round on October 21, to be followed by four match play rounds, and there probably will be three flights 'to qualify. ' Miller B. Stevinson, veteran golfer of Columbia, now is firmly established on the pinnacle of local golfdom. Annex- ing his second consecutive District amateur championship yesterday at the Congressional Country Club, Stevin- son thereby automatically took rank as the premier golfer of the year around Washington, for even though the Dis- trict champlon is mot always the top ranking golfer of the year, it follows that Stevinson must be placed at the top this year because of his consist- ently fine play and the steadiness of his game in winning the 72-hole grind for the second championship he has won in two years Only two strokes in front of Harry G. Pitt of the Manor Club at the end of the third round, with a 54-hole total of 223 against 225 for Pitt, Stevinson outsteadied the Manor Club ace over the final round, registering a 78 for his last round which, incidentally, was his worst round of the tournament. Pitt was trying for everything, knowing he must score 75 or better to cut down Stevinson’s lead and catch him, and matters just did not break for the Manor Club star. Had he played the last nine holes in 35 or 36, he might be the champion today, but even that is problematical, for Stevinson was playing behind Pitt and kept advised of the score made by Pitt on each hole. As it was Pitt_ended in a tie for second place with Frank K. Roesch of Wash- ington, whe shot a fine 72 over the final round to end with 304, the same as that of Pitt, and three strokes higher than the winning total of Stevinson. Matching shotf or shot over the first nine of the final eighteen, neither Stevinson nor Pitt had given any thought to Roesch, but had the Wash- ington youngster finished- the last nine with the same burst of speed he con- cluded the nine, he might have played himself into a tie for first place. Pitt and Stevinson both were out in Jones Takes Open Stance for Spoon 10 BEST SEE DIRELTION LIME.

And they both | took 7 on the long tenth and 3s on the short eleventh, 5s on the long | twelfth and 4s on the short thirteenth. | Stevinson picked up a stroke at_the fourteenth, and Pitt's crowning blow came at the short sixteenth, where he underplayed his pitch and the ball found a_shallow ditch short of the green. From a particularly nasty lie, | he overplayed the green and did well | to get a 4. That hole virtually settled the championship, for both Stevinson | and Pitt finished with a brace of 4s, | giving Stevinson the title by three | strokes. The third round saw the collapse of | John C. Shorey of Bannockburn and | J. M. Hunter of Indian Spring, who were tied with Stevinson, at 149, for | first place at the conclusion of the first day's play. Shorey, due mainly to | shanked iron shots, took 87 for his third round, while Hunter went up to 33, and both were out of a chance io win, for Stevinson continued his steady | scoring pace with a 74, and Pitt regis- tered a great 72. Stevinson’s winning total is the low- est with which the champlonship has been won in three years. His 301 is one stroke over even 5s for four rounds on a par 73 golf course. But there was | no reason why the scores should not be | good. The weather was perfect, and the golf course was carefully groomed and | in the pink of condition. The second place tie between Pitt and Roesch was | won by Roesch, for Pitt could not play today because of business reasons, and | the rules regarding ties of the District | Golf Association provide that ties must | be plaved off on the next succeeding day after the tie. | “Page Hufty of Congressional finished | in fourth place, with a total of 306, while fifth place went to Charles W.

Win |ning his way to the final round by a 7 and 6 victory over Maj. O. H. Saun- | ders, Baldwin® found himself opposed by the man who beat Maj. Earl L. Nai- | den in a major upset yesterday. Naiden | was generally regarded as the one most likely to unseat Baldwin as the title- holder, but he fell in the semi-final yesterday before the steady stroking of Maj. Bradley, the latter winning by 3 and 1. In the consolation final Maj. E. S. Hughes was opposed to Capt. James 1. Menzie. C. A. Rice, winner of the qualifying round, and M. L.
