Speaking ‘'of Sports Dempsey won't be able to make «the grade for Jack Sharkey by July ‘21, in the opinion of Denny Mc- Mahon, “Kid" Kaplan's trainer, given in an article in the Meriden Morning Record today. McMahon hag just returned from an automo- bile trip which brought him to the Dempsey camp at Saratoga. Renny states that Dempsey looks to him to be in poor shape. His fage is fat and his body carries Tlenty of surplus- weight and he doesn’t think that he will be able to work himself ' intd the form necessary to beat Sharkey. Denny knows whereof he speaks because he saw Sharkey knock out Jim Maloney in New York recently. He says that Sharkey is a really fine fighter.. He's right at the peak of iiiy career and a fast, elusive and clever boxer. Sharkey has the. youth, he is 24 yvars old, and the incentive to win. Dempsey is 32 vears old and looks every day of it. He appeared to be well over 205 pounds on the day McMahon saw him. Denny had hopes that Dempsey wwould be able to pull out a victory over Sharkey but after hooking the x-champion over, he seems to doubt_that the old Dempsey ver be seen in action again. (Clonflicting repsrts in newspaper reports from men at the camp of tlie former champion, have the fans 22y trying to dope” out whether it | will be a fight on July 21 or not.

He exudes confidence that he can beat Sharkey and return to the ring to beat Tun- ncy. He feels that there will be no fitle of ex-champion before his name i next year, he sa; Whether the fight fans agree with him or not seems to be one auestion that won't be decided until af er the Sharkey fight on July 21. Tex Rickard expects the bout to be a sell out and it appears that among the followers of the fight game, there is nothing talked about brt the Dempsey-Sharkey bout.
