Speaking of Sports L Fish, steward at the Shuttle Meadow club, will be among the New Britain fight fans who will view the Dempsey-Sharkey fight in New York tomorrow night. He will be a member of a party which will include State Athletic Commissioner Thomas E. Donahue and Edward L. Kelly, secretary to Governor John H. Trumbull. Other local men who will attend he bout are Frank Arata, John Du- lack, Wililam F. Brennecke, Her- lert Martin, James Connelly, Dr. James Martin and Stanley Sinskie. Anyone wishing to go to New York tomorrow should get in touch with Artie Pilz. He plans to motor 'o the city tomorrow and has room or a passenger or so. Jimmy DecForest predicts that Dempsey will win by a knockout in- ~ide of five rounds. DeForest was ormerly Dempsey's trainer and his prediction will carry a lot of weight with the wagering public. Sharkey is quoted as saying that he will end the fight quickly. His | blustering about what he is going to do and what he isn’t going to do, has put him in wrong with many of the fight fans. It doesn’t always pay for a man to sputter and boast about himself before a severe con- test such as Sharkey faces tomorrow night. It is significant that Dempsey could go out on the golf links ves- terday and shoot nine holes with a hetter score than he has been doing. To the golfer and those who know the game, this feat shows that his nerves are very, very calm. Had he any worries on his mind, his number of strokes rather than be cutting them down. Both fighters are reported to ke in the best shape possible and there should be no alibis for either when the bout is over. Dempsey declares that he is fit and in fighting form and Sharkey has told the world how good he is. We have been scratching our heads trying to get some real dope on this fight and we are certainly sure that you have been just as per- plexed as we have been. You pick the winner, we don't care to. One day we figure that Sharkey is going to keat that “hollow shell” and then we turn right around and after reading some more reports from the training camps, we are just as positive that Dempsey will | beat the Lithuanian. Get around on the corners and in all centers whers the fight followers gather and there 1s nothing being talked about execpt this bout. Dempsey has his backers. plenty of them, and Sharkey has his folloy- ers just many as the former champion. A good number of the hoys got into print the other day predicting the outcome of the fight. TFred Joyce at Charlie’s Grill predicted th was nothing to it but Dempsey and a legion of Sharkey admirers met him at the corner of | Main and Church strects with bank rolls in their han Fred failed to place any moncy. There was one big reason why, he states, and that is hecause he hasn't If any man has a hetfer rea- son for not betting than that, let's have it. Bill Farley, local hoxing commis- sioner picks Sharkey inside of five rounds. Bill saw the debacle in Philadelphia last September and he has been off Dempsey ever since. Betting Is very scarce in this city according to reports. There is little Dempsey money and there isn't a great deal of Sharkey money. The result of the Dempsey-Tunnew en- counter in Philadelphia last year has sewed a lot of pockethooks up | tighter than a drum. The Herald will announce the hout tomorrow night and after the over. we will be able to ybody that it resulted just et Sluggers failed to up to their name yesterday afternoon when they met the Falcon Juniors in the diamond at the rear 02 Finnegan's Alley and the Juniors came out on top of the 14-13 score, Johnny Corcoran had a home run and a doble in the box score, while sebastian La Rosa, the playing man- r, contributed a three base hit. ind Leo Wrobel, brothers, tied up with two-base hits to their credit. Peter Wrobel and Edmond Recene ‘ormed the Falcon battery with Vito Ciffico and Mike Jacubowski in the box for the losers.

That was one of the Boston Lithuan- fan's first remarks after he had laid jaway his gloves, following his final workout yesterday. 11 beat him,” Sharkey said. “I'm | bigger. than I ever was. . I'm strong- er. I'm hitting harder. I always could hit when I wanted to, so I have no fear of Dempsey's hitting. I mean to say that whenever I set solidly, like any other hitter, I could always punch hard. But the difficulty in that is that in setting | yourselt you are exposed to being hit just as hard as you hit, and I see no sense in giving an opponent | |better than an even break in this | respect. That's the reason I have specialized in boxing, rather than in Litting. I can accomplish the same end.” Sharkey’s plan of battle, he said, has not been determined. “That's up to Dempsey,” he as- serted. “You have to adjust your- self to conditions inside the ropes as vou find them. TI'll go into this fight with no set plan of battle.” Sharkey's last workout indicated | that he expects to carry on a de- | fensive battle at the outset. Against | Paul Cavaller, a sparring partner, he held his right arm close to his body against attack from a left hook. His counter offensive as shown against others of his staff is topped by a lightning right uppercut. ~ Sharkey was finding his openings quickly in the last day's drill. He took several hard left hooks on the jaw without wincing and in fast exchanges he seldom missed on his own thrusts. Sharkey will engage in no exer-, clse whatever today. | Tex Rickard announced that the ! advance sale of tickets had reached the $900,000 mark. Tomorrow | night's show is expected to draw ap- proximately one and one-quarter million dollars, the largest gate for any non-champlonship fight in his- tory. UNIVERSALS FALL BEFORE RULE SHO?

Startles Spectators In the last two workouts Demp- sey has progressed with a rushing drive that has appeared almost startling to the few remaining war correspondents. Weight seemed to slip from him suddenly, and speed infused in him over night as the vim and dash of physical perfection ar- rives exactly at the proper moment. The sluggish Dempsey of the early weeks was lost in a figure reminis- cent of Toledo and Boyles Thirty Acres days. Dempsey's weight, |around 200 for a week, dropped to 193, and the former champion is expected to enter the ring scarcely two pounds over that figure. Dempsey's schedule today calls for a trip to Albany about 11 a. m. He will catch a train for New York, and heavy bags where he will go into seclusion at a | hotel until the fight.
