Newspaper Page TextTHE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON ODDS FA VOR GERMAN IN HEAVYWEIGHT RING FIGHT TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 1932 SHARKEY SCRAP WITH TEUTON ATTRACTS FEW New York. June 21 M For glory, honor and comparatively little cash. Max Schmellng and Jack Sharkey clash In a 15-round heavyweight championship bout In Lond Island City tonight. William P. Carey, president ol Madison Square Garden which is promoting the match In the new outdoor arena on Long Island, pre dicts gross receipts in the neighbor, hood of $400,000. Even that figure, staggering as it Is In these times, seems trifling when viewed from the point of view of the million-dollar "gates" of the Dempsey era. Plain Mr. Fight Fan was not par ticularly interested In the gross re ceipts beyond deciding how much he would contribute to them. He viewed the match as a duel of two closely matched gladiators and the betting fraternity supported him In that opinion. The odds continued at 6 to 5 with Schmellng a favorite al though some betting commissioners were quoting 11 to 10 and ta.e your pick. Odds against a knockout by either man were 3 to 1. Both Schmellng and Sharkey came down from their training camps In upper New York state in excellent condition. Sharkey has been the more impressive during the training grind but the experts point ed out that Schmellng never has looked any too good In a gymnasi um. He needs real competition to look his best. The Teuton has come far since that June night two years ago when Sharkey battered him around for three rounds and then fouled him into the championship in the fourth. Then he was a green, game young ster, a powerful puncher with his right hand and possessed of all the stamina in the world. Now he is a champion In fact as well as name, a punishing hitter with either hand, a much more elu sive target than he used to be, and stiU gifted with amazing endurance. He stunned some of the experts with his masterly performance with Young Stribllng last year In his first title defense, cutting down the rug ged Georgian In the 15th and final round. But if Schmellng Is spurred on not so much by a desire to retuln his title as to achieve vindication for his sonjuwhat Inglorious victory In 1930. there is desperation behind Sharkey's challenge. A broadcast of the Schmeltng Sharkey fight is scheduled for the National chain some time between and 7 o'clock pacific standard time.
