NEW YORK, June 33. (API The
seven long lean yeare ended officially
today for Jack Sharkey, heavyweight
champion of the world at last, after
the strangest, moat paradoxical ca
reer In all modern ring history.
He stood forth aa champion, ab
solved of all past failures, yet In the
mlnda of a great many of the 70.000
faithful who saw nim climb the
throne there will always linger some
question until he again battlea Max
Schmellng. the Oerman.
right Lacks Luster
For fifteen long and often lack
luster rounds, they battled laat night
In the great bowl Madison Square
Oarden has built on Long Island
a Sharkey taming his traitorous tem
perament aa he fought, and the stol
id teuton who owed hie crown to one
of the sailor's own upponenu of wild
nnsa when he fouled In the Yankee
stadium two years ago.
- At the end, tbrougn the loud speak
' era that sent his voice out to one
of the greatest thronga that ever saw
a prise fight. Bellerln' Joe Humph
ries healtated a bit aa he shouted:
"The winner, and new champion,
, Jack Sharkey."
,, Crowd Boars Disapproval
That hesitancy In ole Joe's voice
seemed to be echoed in the roar that
went up from the crowd, In the split
verdict of the two Judges and Feref
ee "Ounboat" Smith, the critics about
the ringside, and even the warrior
themselves.

Sharkey won the decision to dethrone the Oerman.
dera drooping aa he stood In his cor
ner, paused before he made his wild
daah acroM the ring to embrace the
former king. .Schmellng turned and
stared as though he could not believe
his ears, and the experts promptly
launched Into arguments.
They'll still be arguing, probably
a year or so from today when, In the
natural couree of events, Sharkey is
called upon again to face the foe from
overseas.
v Bay Teuton Outboxed
Those who agreed with George Kel
ly, the Judge who, voted for Sharkey
and Referee Smith, himself a famous
old time fighter, who oast the decid
ing vote, could see nothing but that
Sharkey, fighting the coolest, calm
est duel of his tiectlo career, had' con
sistently outboxed the charging teu
ton, spattering hla face and rlba thru
most of the fifteen rounds with Jar
ring left Jabs.
It seemed from that side that the
Boston eallorman. although always
tn retreat, had followed the battle
plan of a more Illustrious predecessor.
Oene Tunney, alwaya on the defens
ive, never leaving an opening, but
drifting through steadily with coun
tering left hooks and right crosses to
the hesd and body to give htm a
margin on points.
But to a wide majority of the crit
ics. It seemed that Schmellng had
earned the right to retain his crown,
even If not by any great margin.
Drab Milling
So It was uninspired, unexciting
milling that failed the enthuse a
gathering that paid over 1400,000 to
the garden and the Prco Milk. Fund
for Babies, Inc. '
In the stretch It waa Schmellng,
and not the new champion, - who
seemed to be winning as he plugged
along, as fresh as though he had Jiwt
been warming up for a dozen rounds.
In the occasional punching flurries,
he hurt Sharkey with rights to the
head. Sharkey's left eye closed tight.
But still the sailor boxed. Jabbing,
hooking, retreat'ng. piling up point.
