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.

DEMPSEY TO WIN
DECLARES FIRPO
Buenos Aires, 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."

(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.

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.
Tills morning at 0 o'clock Miss
Dorothy White, the Junior director
ana play expert, met the bovs and
girls to initiate them' into "Junior

are planned for the youngsters dur
in gthe week.

National Commander of
Legion Opens Sessions
Of Oregon at LaGrande
La Grande, July 21. ) The
ninth annual state American Legion
convention formally opened Its three
day sessions here this morning, with
more than 1,000 delegates and visi
tors present, including National
Commander Howard Paul Savage of
Chicago, and Charles Mills, of Mi
ami, Fla., chief worker of the na
tional 40 and 8.
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. With
Savage and Mills were Charles Ar
dery, national Legion secretary, of
Indianapolis; Dan Sowers, national
director of Americanism, of New
York, and James Drain, of Spokane,
former national commander. The
party deserted its special car at Pen
dleton, making the remainder of
the trip by automobile.
Preliminary meetings were held

How to avoid
needless car expense
NEGLECTED lubrication and the failure of lubricants
to master deadly heat and friction costs the car
owners of this country more than a billion dollars each
year in repair bills an average of $52 for every car
on the Pacific Coast.
That waste is needless because there are dealers, front
Canada to Mexico, who specialize in Complete Veedol
Lubrication. Drive in today where you see the orange
and black Veedol sign. Ask for Complete Veedol
Lubrication. While you wait, every friction spot in
your motor, chassis, transmission and differential will
be correctly lubricated with high quality Veedol lubri
cants. Each of these lubricants gives the famous "film
of protection" which masters heat and friction.
To avoid repairs and reduce operating expenses
get Complete Veedol Lubrication at regular intervals.
Always ask for Veedol lubricants by name. If you
drive a Ford ask for Veedol Forzol.
