BY DENMAN THOMPSON. ITH the Poughkeepsie regatta listed for to- morrow, the Sharkey- Schmeling fight booked for Tuesday and the national open golf champion- ship scheduled to get under way Thursday, the biggest sports week of the season is here. Of the three events, all at- tracting country-wide attention and with two having an inter- national aspect, the hardest to dope is the sweep-swinging con- test on the Hudson. Rowing is a sport noted for its upsets. At least four of the seven crews in the varsity race are conceded an excellent chance, with those who attach much importance to time trials inclined to favor Cornell. It is the links tourney that provides the one outstanding favorite of the trio of events. In a game where form is as fleeting and fickle as in golf it ordinarily would be odd to find one contestant generally con- ceded as dominating as classy a field as that at Fresh Meadow. now that Bobby Jones no longer is in the picture. But considering his impressive tri- umph in the recent British Open and the fact that the Long Island layout is his home course it seems logical enough that Gene Sarazen should be an odds-on choice. Sharkey Should Win, But— ONSIDERING the fact only two persons are involved in the fistic embroglio the uncertainty regarding its outcome comparatively is the greatest of the trio of widely diverse competitions. From the standpoint of ex- perience, punching power and boxing ability, Sharkey is far superior to Schmeling, even granting the German has im- proved 2 lot since he was awarded his world title while on the floor, claiming a foul, two years ago. There is no reason for be- lieving the Boston battler is one whit less game than the courageous invader, and aside from dogged steadfastness of purpose, Schmeling can be con- ceded a debatable edge only in the physical capacity to with- stand punishment. The reason Max probably will enter the ring in the Garden's new Long Island bowl Tuesday night a favorite despite the challenger’s superior capabili- ties is due to Jack's repeatedly demonstrated inability to keep his head. Sharkey should give Schmel- ing a 15-round boxing lesson. He ought to pile up points enough to win by the proverb- ial mile, but he is so erratic and flighty, so given to brain- storms, that I wouldn’t bet a nickel on him.

LOS ANGELES, June 18 (#)—Win- ner of six titles in the 1928 Olympic games, Sweden informed the Los An- geles Organizing Committee today that it will be represented by approximately 65 men and women in 10 of the 16 events of the international contests here July 30 to August 14.

Cornell, Sharkey anfl Sarazen Best Sports “?arlay” of Week i BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, June 18—Based on performances and training de- velopments, the best “Parlay” whirl seems to be Cornell to win the Poughkeepsie varsity boat race, Jack Sharkey to take the heavyweight title Trom Max Schmeling, Gene Serazen to keep up his winning golf march in the American Open chempionship, and Yale to beat Harvard's crew. 3 The odds should be at least 10 or 15 to 1 against all four coming through. but even so it would be difficult to find a layer willing to risk them. i The competition promises to be brisk enougn 1n cach case for almost any- hing may happen. . ‘The only Cgrmuni('s connected with them are that the gate receipts will show another falling off. 5 Cornell appears to have shown the mo-t impressive workout up the Hud- sca The Ithicans unquestionably have a great varsity crew, but they were beaten in a short-distance test at Cambridge by Syracuse, and they have another formidable rival in California.

ASHINGTON PARK, Chicago, June 18—With amazing gusto, & thoroughbned by that name, dropped out of the clouds today to win the $50.000 American Derby. to the astonishment of 30,000 spectators. In a sensational stretch drive that was reminiscent of Man o'War, his granddaddy, Gusto, owned by Morton L. Schwartz, weelthy New Yorker, charged irom rixth place to conquer Osculator, heavily-p.ayed favorite. With blistering speed, Gusto came on and on. and did not stop until he had triumphea over Osculator by two and one-half lengths.

The placc price on Osculator, the favorite, was $4.82, with $3.94 to_ show. Prince Hotspur, the “felder,” paid $4.04 to show. The race had a gross value of $58.- 725, with $48,000 going to Owner Schwartz and $6,000 to W. R. Coe of New York, cwner of Osculator. Princ2 Hotspur earned $3.000 and I Say $1.000 for her brilliant race in finishing fourth. .

(intercollegiate Schmeling Is Griffs Slip to Third Place : Sharkey Rates to Defeat Schmeling JACK HAS DOUBLE GOAL T0 ACHIEVE Seeks to Avenge “Robbery” of 1930 Foul, as Well as Earn Wor'd Title. BY SPARROW McGA! EW YORK, June 18.—Jack Sharkey figures to achieve a two-fold ambition when he enters the ring against Max Schmeling in the Madison Square Garden Bowl next Tues- day evening. First, he wants to avenge himself for being “robbed” of the heavyweight title two years ago, when a blow that landed squarely on Schmeling's waistline was called a foul. Sec- ond, he aims to assert his un- questioned leadership of the fistic kingdom. In all other cases the second rea- son would come fir v i first. But not with There is more to this fight than ap- pears on the surface. he surliness of the challenger and the studied de- meanor of the champion prove this. Sharkey in training has been like a wounded grizzly bear. That he nurses a grouch against the world in general is well known. But he never has { had one such as he harbors at this | ime. This will be good news to those who like the champion’s chances. They emphasize that Sharkey has been un- stable in the past and is apt to beat ’hlmselr again Tuesday night. HIS observer is inclined to believe | that Sharkey will not run true to form—to his erratic, tempera- | mental form. Because the Sharkey in train- |ing now is far different from the | Sharkey of other days. | _He holds a personal grudge against Joe Jacobs, the manager of Schmeling. ‘i:gobs was quoted as saying that Jack | %00k the easiest way out by fouling when Schmeling was just beginning & | counter-attack l In other words, Sharkey was accused | of being yellow, and any one knowing | the pride he takes in his work and his attempts to reach the peak also knows that he bitterly resents any | tion of his gameness. Sharkey has made up his mind te concentrate on Schmeling’s body, whicl he considers the weak link in Max' armour. Not that he will resort to a low blow to win. In all the time Sharkey has spent in the ring he never before has been accused of deliberately striking low. That is what rankles. He feels that he does not have to resort to foul tactics and if Schmeling should foul him he will not complain. With both men entering the ring in the same frame of mind. it is hoped that the fans get a run for their money. SCHMELING has been deliberate in his work and pre-ba; statements. ing his H2 has had his own way in order- h a confident statement. He says he will leave it to the judg- ment of the fans after the result of the batile is known. Max relies on his punch to offset the decided advantage his opponent has in experience he fans like the modest. unassum- ing type of fighter. Max Schmeling 18 (Continued on Feurth Page.)

BY MAX SCHMELING, (Heavyweight Champion of the World). INGSTON, N. Y., June 18. —Only one more day of training—but it wiil be the same as the others that have marched past. Everybody in and around my camp seems to be more worried than I. That's because they have so many things to attend to, whereas I have nothing to think of except my condition. When I say I am not worrying and that I am confident and ready for my fight with Jack Sharkey, I am telling only the truth. I will not say how I intend to fight Sharkey. I do not know. It would be false for me to tell plans I have not got. 1 shall fight Sharkey in the man- ner and style that best suits the situation. What style of fighting Sharkey will require me to put up in order to win nobody knows, not even Sharkey himself. No man can tell what he will do in a situation that does not exist. Until we start fighting after the bell rings, there is no fight between Sharkey and me. It will start with the gong, and then you will see what you will see. I shall not change my diet at all. ‘Why should I? What I ate, how I lived. gotten me into this ex- cellent shape, so why should I make any changes at the last minute? I will box tomorrow and that will end the active part of my training. From then on it will be just a case of waiting. And how I can wait when I have to! Nicht wahr? There is no nervousness on my part. I hold up my hand and gaze at it steadily. It doesn't move. Of course, I am holding it still just to see if there is any sign of nerves. There isn't. I haven't experienced any of the nervousness that the sport Wi s have written about other champions. I do not expect to experience any. I find myself wom~ dering how Sharkey is taking It. Does he rclieve his tension with talk? What about me? Do I really hope he is in the finest condition? Do I really want him to be at his very best, to be able to put up a greater fight than k-~ ever has before? I hope my readers will believe me when I say I do. There is a better feeling in beating a man who puts up a good fight—one that people will remember. I would not be telling the truth if I did not admit that I dream of myself as a hero after this fight. Even as a little boy I used to dream of future fame. Maybe it is silly to write these things. But deep down in their hearts, I know that every cne who reads this will say that Max Schmeling is telling the truth; for the simple reason that it is an experience that has come to all of us. I am glad that at last the oppor= tunity is at hand to prove to the world that I am the real heavy- weight champion. I hope I do it in such a manner that even those who are at present backing my opponent will not be ashamed to cheer the champion when the fight is over.
