Two years after hs knocked out Sharkey at ths Yankee -Stadium, Jack Demn'sey expressed 'the opinion that the loud -spCRking sailor would be a Chnmnirn cne day. "All he needs mors experience," said Dempsey. "He is a tough, customer and the best of the bunch' that Is coming up." Just at present there is no one with a better claim to the title vacated by Gene Tunney than this same Sharkey. arasobstacles to such recognition are concerned, only the two foreign contenders, Phil Scott-of England and Max Schmelint c'f Germany can dispute this recognition unless it Is the renchant cf Mr.

Sharkey himself of neutralizing his bjst performances by tho.se of distinct mediocrity. In 1927. his first big year, Sharkey lost to Dempsey after having the veteran former champion all but out in the first: round of their memorable bcut.
