MOVIE NEN STATE " BLOW WAS FAR (Contined from First Page) New York, July 22 UP—Charles Mathison, one of the judges of the Sharkey-Dempsey fight, declared he would make the following the report to the state athletic commission: “Jack Sharkey was hit below the waist line immediately before the knockout punch and Dempsey should have been disqualified. Dempsey was also guilty of hitting low in several other rounds.” Referee Jack O'Sullivan said: “The blow which preceded the NTW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, PICTURES SHOWING START AND FINISH OF FIGHT FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1927, FLEES REFORMATORY SO HE COULD SEE LINDY Maine Youth’s Enthusiasm Brings \ Him Into No Little ‘Trouble Today.

He is a tough, rugged young fellow who can hit, and hit hard, but he never had me badly hurt or seriously . shaken. Always my head was clear and always I had plenty left. You see, I never per- mitted Sharkey to get so that he could get the best leverage for his blows. He is very quick and it is hard for me to land fairly, but| when finally I did get a shot at his chin you know the answer.” Sharkey—"It's all in the game, and I'll be back at the top before Dempsey is. Say, that guy couldn't break an egg. His punch is gone, if he ever had a punch. I had him licked, and he knew it ,and that's why he fouled me, Dempsey was drunk and groggy a dozen times, while he never was able to feaze me. “Dempsey knew I had his num- ber from the start and he was hit- ting low all right. He deliberately hit me in the groin in four times just before he clipped me. I was falling from the pain when the las t blow brushed my chin. I was not knocked out. I simply doubled up from the pain and could not rise. “I hope to have the pleasure of meeting that bird in the ring again but I guess Gene Tunney will beat me to it.” Rickard Denies Foul Tex Rickard denied today that Dempsey had fouled Sharkey, and did a little ballyhooing for the Dempsey-Tunney fight which he said would be held in mid-Septem- ber “at a place not yet determined.” Rickard characterized the Demp- sey-Sharkey fight as “the best I ever saw.” He said: “I was right at the ringside. T was watching every minute, and I would have seen a foul blow if one had been struck in the seventh round. No, Dempsey hit Sharkey in the pit of the stomach— right in the pit of the stomach. Sharkey took two blows to the head before he fell. A man would have dropped quicker than that if he had been hit low. He didn’t act like a man who had been hit low. “One time early in the fight I thought Dempsey was hitting low, but that happens in all fights and Sharkey didn’t seem to notice it. ‘Where Sharkey failed was in not coming right into the fight and mix- ing it with Dempsey. He walted too long. He did not fight fast enough. “Dempsey came out fighting all the time. He looked as if he could lick anybody.” “Doe: that include Rickard was asked. “Well, he would have a better chance than he did in the Phila- delphia fight,” the promoter said.
