THE BINGHAMTON PRESS. WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1927. 25 DEMPSEY WILL DO BEST BOXING OF CAREER, SHARKEY THINKS Ex-Champion to Watch for His Chances Will Try to Block Tunney's Weakening Jabs, Believes Former Binghamton Boy IS HARD TO FIGURE 'Manassa Mauler' Forgets and Wades in; Must Stop Champ in 6 Rounds By Jack Sharkey Binghamton Boy and HeavyFormer, Championship Contender Chicago, Sept. 21-From my own experience in the ring with Jack Dempsey, and from watching him go through a workout at Lincoln Fields race track, I want to try to figure out just what his ring tactics will be when he faces Gene Tunney Thursday night. Jack, of course, isn't ti the best man in the world to follow 8 definite plan of battle.

When JACK SHARKEY he gets socked a couple of times, he just goes wild, forgets what he should or shouldn't do, and wades right in. A'll the tricky stuff goes into the discard, and he rips right through with his smashing rights and lefts, fighting like he means it. Once he tried some fancy boxing when he fought Bill Brennan, but didn't go so well. Brennan was getting the best of until Dempsey tore loose with some good -fashioned slugging. Then the tune changed.

But in this fight with Tunney belleve Dempsey will do some of the best boxing he has ever done. At least I gathered that from watching him in his last sparring workout. I don't mean hate will try any extra fancy stuff. knows he can't get away with that, but I do believe that for the first two or three rounds he will pay more attention than he ever has to boxing principles. For instance, I don't think he will Just swing wildly hoping that his glove will find an opening that isn't there.

He is going to watch his chances, but he will never hesitate to take the chance when it is there. In old days, Jack could afford to waste a few; but now he must make every blow count. Another reason why I believe he will pay more attention to boxing is because he is not anxioue to get hit too much. He is tough alright, but he knows the weakening effect of Tunney's short date, and although he is in far better shape to take them than he was at Philadelphia, still he wants to save his strength to put behind his haymaking attempts. And I don't belleve Dempsey has himself kidded into thinking that he can knock Gene out with a fast one at the beginning of the fight.

It will take some pretty keen preparation te get Gene ready to hear the birdies sing. In spite of his fine showing when I saw him, Jack hasn't got the power behind his punch that had in his best days, and I think he Rows it. was practicing some pretty fine body blows out at Lincoln Field. He would smash right in under his opponents' guard and place some swift ones in the solar plexus region he was doing it mighty regular, too. Those are tough ones to take, believe me.

If he can pepper Gene with those, sprinkling in a few long swings to the body, he'll be doing damage. But in the meantime Jack will have to be watching Tunney's body jabs, and especially that left swing to the liver that the champion lies 60 well. Dempsey will have to do some clever blocking to escape those for Gene hasn't been neglecting his practice along that line. When I saw Tunney he devoted a couple of rounds to the close up stuff. But Jack looks awfully strong, and he will certainly be able to handle himself in the elinches far better He than he did down at Philadelphia.

also has developed a pretty good feint. He is going to fool Tunney a couple of times, if guess right. And, of course, Jack is no novice at quick like ducking. He can double a jackknife and then bob right up in a flash. In the meanwhile, through clever, weaving footwork, he has maneuvered himself into position to let fly a fast one.

That footwork is going to be one of the mainstays of his offensive and defensive. Now and then, Jack will want to get away in a hurry, for it is one of he can't Tunney's weaknesses that follow up effectively. It is unfortunate for Dempsey (that Gene can do his best work when he is being rushed, for Jack is a rusher by nature. But if he (can make Tunney swap blows with him he will have the advantage, for time Tunney into a session trading, he gets socked (plenty. On the try to get other, excited and make hand, Tunney will him go wild.

And when Dempsey (goes wild he will leave a lot of openings for a clever boxer like Tunney. But Gene won't be able Eto Philadelphia. Dempsey Jack like will he not did be at SO this time as he was a ago. Then he was beaten store time he went into the ring. This afford has play the confidence game to and his he own can he choosing, for I don't think Tunney least rush that's him the in the I figure beginning.

By time each of the will be watching his chance for the big smasher, and from then on you can expect something big to happen almost any second. by Dempsey sixth doesn't lay Gene low It to get excited, round, he will begin some of the and then furious you'll: see you ever saw most fighting even he is in a winning ring.

Patent Office) On the Lookout This next heavyweight championship will be the world's greatest strain on something like 150,000 pairs of eyes. It will be strain enough for those sitting more than 200 feet from the ring.

But they will not be the only ones peering with all the candlepower their eyeballs hold. No one can tell at any given second just when the next move will upset the apple cart and lead to 10,000 arguments. The last Dempsey-Sharkey fight proved this point, where onlookers saw Dempsey's punches in the seventh land anywhere from the kneecap to the ears. This time they will all be on the lookout, watching every flicker of the pulse. It isn't any simple matter to follow the flowing tides of a fight.

Many punches that seem to be effective merely hit an opponent's arm or glove. And 50 stage magicians have proved year after year that the hand is much quicker than the eye. Too Much to Watch Too many things are going on to be watched correctly. It was for this reason that the referee and the judges in the Dempsey-Sharkey merrygo-round saw nothing alike. They disagreed upon nearly every round.

They are trained observers and they were either in the ring or less than two feet away. But they didn't see the same events take place. There are always high spots in each championship that help to tell the story. One high spot at Philadelphia was Tunney's first hard punch to the head. Thousands missed that blow.

Another high spot was Dempsey's punch to the throat where Tunney fell back against the ropes. Thousands, watching Tunney, failed to see Dempsey back away with an open target to hit. There are times also in the excitement of the moment, when the eye may register more than the brain can carry and only a blurred effect results. It is much easier to carry away surer visions or deductions when you are not personally interested in the career of either fighter. A fight is one of the most interesting and exciting of all the competitions- -when it is a fight and not a dance or a clinching match.

For those reasons impressions are often badly churned up by the terrific excitement of some big moment when one's concentration is scattered and broken. On such occasions it is often hard to tell where the knockout was landed by the left or right, even though one is looking from a distance of less than 20 feet. Ready for the Argument There is almost sure to be a whirl of arguments after this fight, no matter who wins. And every one close enough to see will want to be ready for his share of the argument. Dempsey had no follow- -up against Tunney in Philadelphia.

He had a pretty good -up against. Sharkey in New York. It will be interesting to see exactly what the first round brings out. Dempsey will go straight to Tunney, and Tunney will again try to drive him back and jolt him badly. This first round may tell a big part of the story.

It ought to show whether Tunney is still able to keep Dempsey away, as he did at Philadelphia, or whether he lacks the punching power to prevent Dempsey closing in and hammering the body. If Tunney still finds Dempsey an open target in that first round and Dempsey can't reach the champion's body, it ought to be the same old Philadelphia story again. But it is no part of a certainty this will happen. Dempsey will make that first round a busy one, and the best hunch is that, while he will take his share, on this occasion he will also give something in return, no longer content to be a human punching bag, dangling in the September night air.

Stiely and Uzmann, NYP Leaguers, Are Accused of 'Slouging' a Game Freeland, has a baseball scandal. It involves two Scranton NYP players, Stiely, and Uzmann, who are known to the fans of this city, especially Stiely, who once pitched here. Charges have been preferred against these two battery mates by "Johnny" Ammon, manager of the Freeland Tigers, who held up their pay checks last week following a defeat suffered by Freeland at the hands of the Weatherly team, according to the Scranton Republican. Some time after the game was over, Manager Ammon was told that Stiely and Uzmann had not given their best services and it was pointed out that the Scranton "ace" hurler had tried his best to pitch every ball he delivered over the heart of the plate. Gamblers who had been worked up over the game had placed bets running into thousands of dollars.

Ammon then accused Stiely and Uzmann of "laying down" but both denied the charges. Williams Captain Not Related to Old Boyntons Williamstown, Sept. 21 Once again a Boynton will captain the Williams football team this fall, Charles Boynton, the choice for 1927, being the third athlete by that name to lead the Purple on the gridiron during the last eight years. The new selection, who hails from New York, is not related to the other two, however, the latter being the famous "Benny" in 1920, and his brother "Charley," in 1922, from Waco, Tex. Like his two predecessors, both of were three-sport men at Williams, the new captain is an allaround performer.

He represents Williams in swimming and track as well as football. The Boynton brothers from Waco both played baseball and basketball in addition to football at Williams.
