The steady flow of customers JSaiSt the Madison Square Garden box offices brought forth smiling predictions that Jack Sharkey, the talkative tar, and Tommy Loughran, the expanded light heavyweight champion, will wage their 15 round leather warfare before 50,000 persons and a gate of $300,000 in the Yankee Stadium tomorrow night. In Just two days, mild weather, has doubled interest in the final heavyweight show of the outdoor season. Confident that Loughran will not last beyond the sixth round, Sharkey finished up his training today with a light session at the exercising machines in a gymnasium here after quitting his outdoor conditioning grind at Orangeburg, yesterday. He Is in fine shape after a six month respite from the ring wars and will scale about 195 pounds. Loughran, backed by all the resources of Philadelphia, merely loosened his muscles for the battle that must mark the turning point in a brilliant career.

The light heavyweight king who never evaded a challenger can step into the front rank of pretenders to the vacant heavyweight throne by decisive victory over Sharkey, defeat will push Tommy back to the ranks of the 175 pounders and the Job of regaining that championship all over again. In physical proportions, Sharkey will have a slight edge tomorrow night, including a pull in the weights of about ten pounds. Loughran hopes to balance the bar at 185 pounds, the greatest weight of his career. They are equally matched in height, reach, and speed with Loughran the better boxer and Sharkey a bit huskier puncher. The favorite is difficult to choose and even money odds are most frequently quoted.
