PAGE SIX SHARKEY MINUS SINGLE WORRY AS HOUR NEARS New York, July 21. The only thing that worried Jack Sharkey on the eve of his fight with Jack Dempsey, was that he was $ behind In a game of hearts when he had to leave for a rubdown at Madison Square Garden. After he had returned from the Garden to his hotel, he insisted on renewing the card game, so that he could win back what he had lost. This is the same Sharkey that one year ago in New York refused an offer of Jack Dempsey to use him as a sparring partner for the Tun ney fight. "Sparring partner? Say, I may push you over myself," was the Bos tontan's answer. It is the same Sharkey, also, who applied vainly in New York in 1923 for a manager. Some of the flame managers who refused to listen to his claims of greatness, paid 50 cents apiece to watch Sharkey's workouts for the Dempsey flRht. A few ol them will help to swell the estimated $1,250,000 gate receipts at Sharkey'H fight tonight. New York, July 21. iT Jack Dempsey will wear red trunks with n black border in the right tonight. Jack Sharkey's trunks will be purple with a blue border. Sharkey decided not to wear a new bathrobe of navy blue with n gold anchor and the letters "U, S. N." across the back. It was presented by sailors. He Raid he wanted ta wear an old garment he lias had at nil his fights in order not to change his luck. CHICK EVANS OUT Seattle. Wash., July 21.

(P Luis Angel Firpo, who in 1923 came very close to Knocking out Jack Demo sey, only to be dropped himself in the second round, believes that the former champion will knockout Jack Sharkey. "Dempsey will win because he Is the same fighter as ever," Flrpo said. "He possesses the same strength, the same speed and has tho advantage over Sharkey In ex perience. His long rest from the ring is bound to be beneficial. Dempsey Is not yet old enough to have slip ped too far back. "I have been Sharkey box only in training, but If I were called upon to risk my money In betting I would put it on Dempsey without any doubt whatever." ESPEE NINE LOSES Dallas, Or., July 21.

Phone 80 DOCTORS SAY BOTH IN PINK OF CONDITION (Continued from pan one) cleverness of Jack Sharkey, of Bos ton, In the 13-round bout that Is to produce the chair-nger for Gene Tunney's heavyweight champion ship. Betting odds were quoted various ly 7 to 5, 13 to 10, and 2 to 1 with Sharkey the favorite. With several brokerage concerns . reporting shortage of Dempsey money, it ap peared likely that Sharkey would enter the ring one of the highest favorites that ever took part in a fight of such Importance with a title not directly involved. ' Without question Dempsey will essay the comeback role as the great est sentimental favorite in ring his tory. That partly explains why the former champion goes into battle on the extremely short end of the wag ering. The heart of the crowd will be with the Manassa mauler, as the nation knew him at the height of his ring career, and if he overcomes tonight what a majority of boxing critics think is a mighty obstacle the fire of youth and the endurance that attends It, he is assured a tre mendous acclaim, far greater than any he ever knew as the champion, DEMPSEY PAST PRIME Dempsey Is 32 years old. Sharkey, whose real name is Josef Paul Cun- koschay, is 25. He is of Lithuanian ancestry. Dempsey s return to the ring after his miserable showing I'.guinsL Tunney at Philadelphia, last year, is the magnet that is to draw the third largest crowd in ring history, the Tunney-Dempsey and the Dcnipscy-Carpentier bouts alone eclipsing it.' In both of those, a championship was involved. The champion has completed one of the most strenuous training cam paigns a boxer has ever undergone. Five months ago he began workim in the Ojai hills of California, and after satisfying himself that he had regained the physical power so no ticeably absent when he Ijst to Tunney he came cast to complete the process of preparation. The former champion avi his manager Leo P. Flynn, came to New York last night from Saratoga with an air of conviction. Still it is the question of Demp sey's condition that adds to the un certainly regarding the outcome. The Dempsey of Toledo, most ob server. are convinced .would dls pose of the Sharkey of today with out much difficulty but Dempsey is much older, somewhat slower and there Is grave doubt as to whether he can hit as hard now. While Dempsey's triumph or his downfall will provide 'the soul searing drama of the night, Shar key's perfonnance will decide once and for all the mooted question of his class. The Bostonlan's backers are cocksure of him. Those who lean toward Dempsey discount Sharkey's victories over Mike Mc- Tigue, Harry Wills and Jimmy Ma- loney. If Sharkey beats Dempsey, he will have established clearly his claim to pugilistic greatness, If It has not already been established. HOYS AT COAST Gervals, July 21. A.

SYRUP DORCAS BACKS DEMPSEY ON OLD TIME WALLOP Salem has one real Demnsev booster in the person of George Dorcas, local hopman. Dorcas will probably listen to fight returns this evening with as much interest as any fan, and per hops more, as he has twice seen Dempsey "hang 'em over the ropes," in person. Dorcas was at the celebrated Dempscy-Carpentler fight in 1921 In person and saw Dempsey hum ble the aspirations of France. "1 see where $125 is being paid for a ringside seat to the fight to day," said Dorcas. 'T paid $50 for a ringside seat to the Dempsey-Car-pentler fight and looked around to make sure that nobody who knew me saw mo pay It, for fear I would be put under the control of a spend thrift guardian." The other time when Dorcas saw Dempsey take a man to the slaugh terhouse was many years ago in San Francisco, before Dempsey had achieved the heavyweight crown. This time was when Dempsey knock cd out Gunboat Smith on his long, pummeling road to the top. "I am looking to see Dempsey knock out Sharkey tonight," said Dorcas. "Ive seen him knock out two of them, and if there is any of that old-time wallop there, it looks to me like curtains for Sharkey." The Salem Chautauqua opened last night with a large attendance. "The Fool," Charming Pollock's arama proved a success. Today the Lucille Elmore Company gave a re vue at 2:30 o'clock, and again tonight will entertain at a 40-min-ute prelude before the lecture, "Tal low Dips," by Dr. Robert Parker Miles.

The Inure of trumpets and beat of drums awoke the city to the fact that the opening day of the con vention had arrived, when corps brilliantly attired and faultlessly drilled from Portland, Medford and other cities paraded the busi ness sections early this morning. The special train bearing part of the veteran Oregon contingent ar rived about 7 o'clock, and the second special from Salem and Willamette valley points, pulled In about 10:30 a. m. Commander Savage, escorted by a whooping band of Umatilla Indians, members of Chief Pea post, the onl yall-Indlan legion organization in America, and members of the Pendleton post in cowboy regalia, reached La Grande late last night, after a rousing welcome at Pen dleton and dinner at Sunset Inn, on the top of the Blue mountains.
