J Braddock said Sharkey quit to Camera Carnera and hes he's a big yellow fellow bum This could easily be rank libel After Alter all Mr Sharkey is a very ordinary sized hea heavyweight ight There are many who are arc fl E 7 bigger I k Whether Mr Sharkey quit to Car- Car 1 inera hiera is something only the insiders f 1 1 know V. It JO looked ked very much as If It he 4 did id It was is-as the first time Sharkey ld t bad ad been been on the floor since Demp- Demp 11 StY sey ey put Ut him there Even Winnie the pooh wouldn't be so naive as to Imagine Camera Carnera hits hIls like Dempsey Perhaps Mr Sharkey merely S became emotionally upset He i Wll 8 that wa way All AU phases of ot violence made him bun deathly ill I Down deep in iii his heart of hearts he loved lo petunias And AmI even en Burbank Burbank Bur Bur- C bank bak would o hl had difficulty difficult crossing a n petunia with a left took hook Mr Ir Sharkey even went into I IJ J convulsions con when one of or his own 11 punches rendered an opponent i null and void oid You might recall his intense grief the night he tagged Jack Delaney Delancy on on the chinaware and stretched him for the count Something snapped In in his sensitive soul and he stood there in a neutral corner crying cring like a A. baby a very ver very small baby One about so high see Scandal reared its ugly head the next day when it was revealed that j the odds were 20 to 1 against a knockout in the first round and that S several such bets were recorded but the evil Implication was unfair to the great petunia lover He just hated to hurt urt people or to get hurt I 5 That's why he was such a a. terrible fighter Of or course he has no more idea of coming all the way back to tight light Joe JOB LuIs as he claims than Jim Jeffries has He Is merely exercising the prerogative of all champions ex-champions an an opportunity to pick up a few Itra stray purses on a past reputation The fact that Mr Sharkey's past I reputation happens to b be bad will not noL slow up the campaign For 6 some somo stran strange e reason you can always ballyhoo an champion ex-champion back for forat forat forat at least one shot at the heavy dough My memory i iS that only one cx- cx neglected to resort to this thi time honored privilege of ot coming back This was John L.
