JACK SHARKEY BATTERS HARRY WILLS IN NEW YORK
SAILOR DOWNS
BLACK PANTHER
IN 13 ROUNDS
Decision Given to Shar
key Following Wills'
Unfair Tactics
NKW YORK. Oct. 13 (AP)
Graduates of I'nclo Sam's sea go
ing outrun stand today in supromc
command of America's heavy
weight fighting forces.
tf Less than a monlh after Gono
Tuiint y, cx-marlno, battered Jack
IX'inpsey and won tlio heavyweight
championship. Jack. Sharkey, of
Boston, erstwhile jack tar, won a
decision over Harry Wills, negro
and ex-longshoreman beforo 45,
Oltd spectators at Kbbelts Field
lust night.
The downfall of tiio "black pan
ther", who for tho sevon years of
Jicmpscy's reign challenged un
ceasingly for the outstanding
crown of pugilism, came, on a foul.
"Wills, 37, was tt bleeding, almost
helpless figure, stumbling about
the ring In an effort to stem the
two-fisted attack of a 25-year-old
when tho referee, Patsy Haley,
stepped between tho fighters in tho
thirteenth round -of tho 16-round
mutch and disqualified tho negro
for Illegal use of a. back hand
blow.
AVarni'd IH'puaujdly .
Wills had been warned repeat
edly by Huley for unfair tactics.
Prolonged holding in the clinches,
whipping of his glovo backward
across Sharkey's faco and Will's
old trick of holding with his lett
hand while he pounded away at
the body with his right, all had
brought their winnings. The wave
to his corner meant the end of ull
championship hopes of Will's.
Wills, showing nono of his form
er aggressiveness, was buttered
about tho ring from tho start.
From tho fourth round on, the
negro fought purely on tho defen
sive. At the close blood spurted
from a gash over Wills right eye,
from cuts about his nosu and
mouth und Ills left eye was nearly
tlUQl'U. ' .
Shiu-kcy Heats Ulant
Sliaikcy, weighing J 8 S, conceded
S6!4 pounds in weight to his gi
gantic rival. Although Wills failed
to fall under the fusilludo, ho was
on the verge of a. knockout In the
tenth, eleventh and twelfth rounds.
JtniRside critics could award the
negro only one. tho third, by
close margin. The scqond was
even and the remainder inciuu-
ing the 43 seconds of tho thlr
l Hh wen, ull in Sharkey's favor.
Wills had been a favorite In
betting. Victories over Juok. Ko-
