Time was when Sharkey’s training {periods were audible. He discussed Maloney and even Dempsey freely. For many months he maintained that the Dempsey knockout blow was foul, then he stopped talking and has remained silent. Johnny Buckley explained the situation after introducing “Silent Jack Sharkey.” | “Yes. Not a word now. Jack is |through with the blood and thunder stuff. They ragged him so much in New York beforec and after the Ma- loney and Dempsey fights that he 5 quit that stufi. . And now they're {sore. Now they miss the rough stuff. But he's all over that. Of course he's not going to admit that any- |body can beat him, but he’s through with the wordy noises.” The only other discernible change in Sharkey is a changed style. now leads with his right instead of the left hand. In view of the fact that he forced last fall's postpone- ment of the Heeney bout on the He ! claim of injured left hand some ob- servers incline to the belief that all is not well with the injured member. Others dismiss it as habit formed while favering the injured hand in early tralning or a plece of ring stratogy designed to confuse Heeney. Sharkey's silence spreads to in- clude discussion of the hand, but New York and Boston doctors who have examined it say it is in good condition and in Boston boxing cir- jcles Sharkey has been predicted a winner, in some sections by a knock- out. Any lingering doubt should be removed tomorrow after Sharkey submits to an examination by the New York state athletic commission. He is scheduled to leave here late today arriving soon after 10 o'clock In New York. MRS. SMITH IMPROVES New York, Jan. 11 M—Mrs. Al- fred E.
