SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, JULY. 23, ' 1931, Honors of Victor Showered on Walker as Draw With Sharkey Finds Disfavor STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE ' REFEREE BELIEVES MICKEY HAS EDGE One Judge Gives Verdict to Gob, Other Is Impartial. May Battle Again. BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Associated Press Sports Wriicr. ROOKLYN, N. Y., July 23.— The official decision says Jack Sharkey didn’t lose, but on lon-hearted little Mickey Walker fightdom today showers all the acclaim and golden promises that go to a new- comer scaling the heavyweight heights. In the very heart of the heavy- weight picture is the rugged, grin- ning, battle-scarred face of the chunky fellow from Rumson, N. J., welterweight and middle- weight title holder in his time, now at least as good as Sharkey, because two learned judges and a referee compromised on a draw after 15 rounds of hurly-burly battle in Ebbets Field last night. Certainly Mickey turned in the most a fistic sea- the big sailor man throug] rough-and-tumble battle that revealed Sharkey in another of his disappointing struggles and gave & crowd of 32,000 a chance to boo and exult in his discomfiture. There was no questioning whom the crowd that almost filled the National League ball yard thought had won, but the arbiters arrived at the compromise | decision by every possible route left | open to them. Reicree for Walker. Referee Arthur Donovan, for instance, thought the bulldog courage, the eternal aggressiveness of the little fellow who gave Sharkey an advantage of 29 pounds, inches in height and reach, en- titled Mickey to the decision. Judge George Kelly voted Sharkey the award sapparently on the basis of his right- hand punching that gashed Walker's left eyelid in the fifth round and opened ® in session. Ju the closing the same way, with seven rounds for ‘Walker, seven for Sharkey and one even. But, regardless of the futllity of the decision, as futile as the battling itself, honors for the evening swept into the lap of Walker, the 169;-pounder, who dared tackle a Sharkey weighing 19813, outbulled and outpunched him for 10| round: and slipped back only when the | embatiled sailor rallied flercely to try and save the day in the last four rounds. Sharkey found the range then with the long right-hand punches he had been tossing in desultory fashion all evening, the short clubbing smashes in | close that opened wide the gash in Mickey's left eyelid. Blood poured down Walker’s cheek, smeared his fea- tures into & red, grinning false face and gave the erratic Sharkey the in- centive to come on and tie the count. Sharkey plainly showed the effects of his ring lay-off of more than a year since he lost his chance to the heavyweight title by fouling Max Schmeling in the fourth round two Junes ago. He boxed slowly, cautiously, and looked ridiculous at times holding on to the little fellow who hardly came up to his chin. Jack Misses Often. He fousht one of his uninspired batrles, his expression rarely changing from a bored, uninterested look, the kind of warfare th:t cost him his chance to meet Gene Tunney in the | former champion's valedictory and | paved the way for Tom Heeney's title | challenge. Sharkey was “winging” right-hand punches through most cf the early rounds, missing oftener than he landed, content to let the little man force the fight and win the hon- ors away from him. He explained afterward that he hurt the knuckles of his left hand in the first round and could not hook with that hand there- after. But regardless of Sharkey's inefl- elency and lack of spark, Walker amazed the critics with his dogged, fir- ing tactics, his ability to take the big sailor'’s best punches when they did land and the determined left-hand socking to the body that at times had a lot to do with Sharkey's holding. A 1-to-3 shot in the betting, consid- ered Sharkey's superior in nothing but Sharkey a Winner, Trumbull Thinks BY WALTER TRUMBULL. ROOKLYN, N. Y, July 23— Mickey Walker fought his usual courageous fight in his bout with Jack Sharkey last night, but it seemed to most of us that he got & lucky brea':. The referee, Arthur Donovan, gave the fight to Walker; George Kelley, one of the judges, gave it to Sharkey, and Charles Mathison, the other judge, called the bout even. The offictal decision, therefore, is a “draw.” In my opinion it was a very bad decision. According to my score Sharkey took nine rounds, Walker four and two were about even. of the ring for a year.” laughed as he sald it.

HOWING only occasional flashes of ability that earned them the world welterweight and light- heavy champlonships, respect- ively, Pete Latzo and Paul Berlenbach disappointed 2,500 ring followers last night at the Midcity Boxing Club’s show at Laurel by losing to Sam Weiss and Herman Weiner. Berlenbach showed nothing like title caliber and Latzo displayed a large walstline and crude boxing. | Latzo lost a 10-round decision to Sam Weiss of Philadelphia. The former weiter champ's work in the first four rounds wes amat:urish and it was only his ability to take ’em thet enabled | him to weather the siorm. He looked better in the late going, however. Berlenbach, who once took punches from the best of them and then came back for more, was hit only once by Weiner, Baltimore light-heavy, and he never resumed fighting. Old “Punch 'Em Paul” though he [ slightly unsteady on his legs, glimpse layed & fleeting of his sock that gave him his reputation when he caught Weiner, who outweighed him by 3 pounds, with s left hook that shook the youngster. Weiner, however, caught up with the ex-king of light heavies and ded & punch to the jaw that sent Berlenbach down after 43 seconds of the first round. Paul arose on one knee at the count of two, but went down on th> knee again without being | struck. This rule violat'on was recog- nized by Referee Charlie £hort, who held up Weiner's hand. | In cther bcuts Frank Fullam, former Catholic U.

LL sorts of funny things by way + of weird scoring are happening out at the Congressional Coun- try Club these days, but the palm for the unusual goes to Maj. John E. McClure, who scored a pair of deuces on the course the other day, And the two holes were not both short ones, McClure took out his trusty mashie in the 165-yard thirteenth and laid his ball s0 close to the hole he knocked it in for a deuce. Then he hit a scream- mfl'ue shot down the middle of the fairway at the fourteenth, & hole that plays about 375 yards. His tee shot was 80 far he could get home with a mashie niblick. The shot went off well, but the pin could not see the result, although he knew it was close.

But Burrows took 6 on the tenth, a par 4 hole; another 6 on the par 5 eleventh, and then fol- lowed with a 5 on the par 3 twelfth, where his tee shot hooked to the left side ot the green, and lay under an overhanging iree. He took another 6 at the sixieenth and finally finished with 43 for the nine and a last round score of 80. At that he missed a six- footer on the last green to win. Con- nelly needed a 39 over the last to tie and made it. Meanwhile, John Downey, who led over the first round, needed & 37 to win the title and 38 to tie, but he took 40 for the last nine and finished in place with a total of 318.
