He finished second in the lat- ter event in the Olympic games and won the quarter in the national col- legiates in 47.1 seconds. Sharkey will be out to win, for if he does he will have a lucrative title match with Max Baer to look forward to in September, when he plans to hang up his gloves forever, win, lose or draw.

AER'S spectacular 10-round knock- B out of Max Schmeling here June 8 has stimulated interest in the boxing industry in this section, and the garden expects a turnout of 60,000 fans and receipts of about $350,000 this week. Carnera boxed eight rounds against four sparring partners at Pompton Lakes, N. J., yesterday and planned another workout today. After that he'll take it easy until the night of the fight. Sharkey, at Orangeburg, N. Y, went through a 10-round workout, three rounds of it consisting of boxing against two sparring mates.

Spain, June 26 (#).— | A crowd of 55,000 saw the Balboa soc- cer club defeat Madrid, two goals to snc. for the Spanish championship to- ay. RANGEBURG, N. Y., June 26.—Seven years ago, in the Fall O of 1926, Jack Sharkey had just finished the job of trimming Harry Wills. Here, apparently, was a great heavyweight on the way up. He looked to be an even better heavyweight when he swabbed the deck with Jim Maloney a year later. | And when he swarmed all over Jack De%y in their opening round and had the Old Mauler reeling and in the first three minutes, there was no doubting the tip that a champion had arrived. But Jack Sharkey’s career since these early and brilliant episodes has been too erratic for ml{ one to follow. Heeney, Risko, Stribling, Scott, Schmeling and Walker—all contests far below the stuff he {once had shown. | He was the old Sharkey against Tommy Loughran and part of the time against Carnera—one of the ablest of all box- ers willing to throw a punch. But he has rarely been the Sharkey that might have been—at his best, a big, fast heavyweight with boxing technique and at least | a punch that could rock Dempsey and knock down Carnera. HARKEY today looks to be in the same physieal shape he knew back in 1926, He looks to be just as fast, in spite of a few extra pounds, which | time usually puts on the human frame. He has been hard at work for more than a month. He still has | that elastic body motion which belongs to the natural, not to the | synthetic, boxer. He isn’t muscle-bound nor tied up. He knows how to mowve around with a show of grace and smoothness which carries no sign | of the lumbering, awkward performer. But seven years is quite a spell to spend around the top. Ezactly seven years elapsed between the Dempsey who fought Willard and the Dempsey who fought Tunney. Certainly the Sharkey who fought Mickey Walker and Max Schmeling was nothing like the Sharkey who fought Wills, Dempsey, Maloney and Loughran. What has happened? In the first place, the wear and tear of | keenness. In the second place, Sharkey, comfortably fixed in the last few years, has lost the enthusiasm for ring glory he once had. For the last two years he has had no particular fondness for his trade. Even before the Schmeling fight a year ago, where he was looking for revenge, he admitted that he would much rather be up in the Maine or Canadian woods fishing, or looking after his Boston garden, then in bloom. | Sharkey has saved as much out of boxing as any heavyweight | that ever lived. He wanted, after a natural fashion, to be heavy- | weight champion, and he reached this goal last June. You don’t run after a street car that you have caught. The Sharkey of 1933. lflgmex-.

But, temperamental, inclined to be moody, inclined at times toward discouragement, a lot will depend on how Sharkey starts. If he finds Carnera is a tougher party than he expects to meet, you can look for a let-down. The uphill trail never has been one | of Sharkey’s fatorite roads. But if he | gets the jump, you can look for action. | A year ago Sharkey had overlooked | Max Schmeling’s improvement since | their first meeting. In that first fight | he had clubbed the German almost at will through the first three rounds. It was evident from a talk I had with him before their second fight that he expected to do exactly the same thing. But when he found that Schmel- i was much harder to hit, that Schmeling’s punch could bruise and jolt, Sharkey switched almost at once | from offensive to defensive war. | He fell back on footwork, blocking and a left hand in- tended largely to keep Schmeling away. Mental and Physical Sides, HARKEY, physically, is equipped to- day with quite enough to take a 8e- cision over Carnera—over the Car- nera that won from Birkie and King | Levinsky—but with little or nothing to spare. He knows more of the finer art of boxing, such as feinting and weaving, or | making an opponent miss. Sharkey is | smart and he knows what it is all about. | But after one has been around | 8 or 10 years, it is asking a lot | to give ayay so much youth and s0 much ht, height, reach and power, to say nothing of the extra keenness that comes on the way up. Sharkey is in good shape. has been a first-class worker, a8 far as nttfl into condition goes. He has had the advantage of working with a spar- ring partner, Hans Birkie, who was good enough to give Carnera a close fight. If the Boston entry has slowed down | to any extent, it isn’t enough to show. | Mentally he seems to be supremely con- fident. Sharkey always has felt that if he could whip a man once he could re- Ppeat at any stated interval. He believes he has Carnera's number and will be able to feint him out of position, to befuddle him, and then win | with something to spare. | Figuring Carnera as a synthetic A — = always :seven years along the front lines is sure to remove some of the early | if you were only sure of his emotional | LARGE BOTTLE Enough for ffve full glasses A Marvelous Mixer... : A Wonderful Table Water (\ . BUMPER today for the opening of the fifty- third all-England championships. Despite the international cali- ber of the field, with represent- atives from 30 nations, a strong American contingent was confi- dent of retaining the two major crowns—in men’s and women’s singles. No commentator on the game ven- tured to suggest the likelihood that the women’s cham - ship would be wrested from Mrs, Helen Wills Moody, who is regarded as being just as in- vincible as ever, Mrs. Moody, bid- ding for her sixth Wimbledon title, seemed to dominate the fleld just as completely as she did a year ago. There was not the same confi- dence, in some quarters, of the abn\lmy c'g Elxwonh es eep his hold on the men's M Moodr. crown, although it was fully realised it would take extraordinary play to beat him. HE meeting was to open with the first round of men’s singles. Clff Sutter of New Orleans and Lester ism‘el'en. giant Los Angeles player, drew | assignments on the famous center court. Sutter was to face E. Itoh of Japan, while Stoefen's opening rival was E. R. Avory of England.
