Loughran's Decision Over Sharkey Shows Boston Tar Is Through DANCING MASTER 1 GETS REVENGE ON F P Right Hand Punch in Tenth Frame Leaves Bostonian Dizzy Loughran May Get Chance at Title BT EDWARD J. NEIL (Associated Press Sport Writer.) PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3fl (P) It era be marked down today that the flahtliur career of Jack Sharkey, atormy petrel of the heavyweight for almost 10 yeara, la over, and In the ame breath there's l3 telling where the 31 -year -old Tommy Loughran la going to wind up. Sharkey climbed Into hie big car early thla morning, alld behind the wheel, pulled hla coat collar up and headed borne for Boston. The far ther he drove, the faster he drove, away from the fight game, apparently forever. Decision by Thread. In Baker bowl last night, home of the down-trodden Pbllllea, Sharkey came to the end of the trail. Tom my Loughran pecked his eyes with left Jabs' through 15 rounds, stood up under a terrific body bombard ment, grinned back courageoualy from a blood-stained face, and In the end won the decision, though the of' flclals barely gave It to film. The crowning blow was a right hand punch Tommy flung Into Shar key's face in the tenth round, a des perate smash that landed on the bridge of the former heavwolghts nose, and to the gleeful amazement of a crowd of less than 10,000, knock-' ed Sharkey to his knees, stunned him. though he came up without a count. ' Revenge for Tommy. It was an evening of sweet tri umph for Loughran, even though he got no' pay and the gate receipts scarcely covered the $26,000 guaran tee paid Sharkey. Pour years ago, when a heavyweight title chance was at stake, Sharkey stormed Into Tom my In the third round of a battle In trie Yankee stadium, whipped an overhand right Into the head of a boxer who ahould have laughed at uch an uuortiiodox punch, and stretched him on the canvas. Lough ran rose at "five" that night, but toe hadn't the falnteat ehance to con tinue as he walked datedly across the ring, holding the ropes, asking Referee Lou Magnolia for a chair to rest in, and thinking It over. It was Loughran's turn to add the final crusher to ciiiarkey'a career after four years of waiting, to add this Seating to the knockout Prlmo ear ners scored In winning the sailor's heavyweight title In June, and the trouncing King Levlnsky gave him in Chicago 10 daya ago. Knockdown Decides, Judge Al Voice gave Sharkey seven rounds, Loughran six, and called two even. Herman Welngrad awarded loughran seven, Sharkey four, with four even. Referee "Spud" Murphy cored It evenly, six, six, and three, but he oast the deciding vote for .Loughran because he had scored the sole knockdown of the fight. But there was no question In Shar key's mind. "Tommy won. all right," he aald, and then he headed for home. Jimmy Johnaton, manager of Madl aon Square Oarden, who has Sharkey signed for three fights this winter, said he was no longer interested. He Immediately sought Loughran's serv ices. "The last round," said Tommy, wearily, as they doctored cut ovir both hie eyes and on his left cheek, was ths toughest. He was desperate then and swinging the hardest. But he never really nurt me. I'd like to fight anybody now Schmellng, Car re r a. Bier." There's svery possibility now thst Tommy will get hi chance. There doesn't seem to be any keeping Win down.

SEWELL MANGUSO Lack Precision of Schalk Hitting Force of Cochrane But Are Smart and Dur able Backstop Artists By ALAN GOULD Associated Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Sep. 38. tm Pew ohamplonshlp major league clubs have ever gone Into the world series without first class backstopplng. The deeds of Orlger, Kllng, Oarrlgan, Oowdy, Cochrane and Dickey ring down through the aagas of base ball battle. The man In the mask can make or break a ball olub. Enthusias tic adherents of either partici pant in the 1033 world series will tell you that Qua Mancuso of the Giants and Luke Sewell of the Sen ators and the Alabama Sewell 'made' their teams what they are today. Smart and Durable Mancuso and Sewell do not rank among the great catchers of all time. They lack the machanlcal precision 3 0U9 MANCUSO of a Schalk and they do not hit with the lustiness of a Cochrane but they are both amart, dependable and dur able. The trade that brought them Into the pennant-winning picture this year, Mancuso from the Cardin als and Sewell from Cleveland, turn ed out to be Just what the doctor or dered for the benefit of the New York and Washington pitching staffe. Sewell la the more experienced re ceiver, with a dozen yeara of major league experience behind him, where as Mancuso, In his fifth big league season, Is Juat finishing his first full campaign as a No. 1 backstop for any club. Otis was understudy to the great Jimmy Wilson at St. Louis. He Is 37, five years younger than Sewell. but has had the advantage of play ing a part In two previous world ser ies. Mancuso lias Edge There seems little to choose, on the whole, but Mancuao's somewhat more robust batting average, plus hla ex ceptional talent for getting the moat out of hi pltchera. give him an edge o-er Sewell In the "dope aheet." To Mancuso I given much of the credit for the sensational development thla year of Hal Sohumacher, the "sinker ball" star, and the fast but erratlo Roy Parmelee. Manager Btil Terry has repestedly praised Manou so's backstopplng and Judgment. Those close to the Olanta aay that Qua has more authority in directing the play than any other member of the club, outside of Terry himself, and that the swarthy backstop Is ac tually the "straw boas" of the outfit, by tacit agreement. Moreover, until Mancuao came along to take over the bulk of the catching. Carl Hubbell had no battery-mate to suit nis peculiar style of delivery, fea turing a baffling "screw ball." The Oklahoma southpaw has enjoyed by far hla greatest season with Mancuao on the receiving end. It has taken plenty of hard work SEE NEW TIGERS On of ths largest turnouts of fans seen in recent years is expected when ths 1033 edition of the Medford high school Tigers takes the gridiron for their opening game with Weed high here Saturday afternoon.

YANKS, ATHLETICS DO BETTER ICE STRAIN IS EASED ny li re; ii r h iurton, Jr. Associated Press Sports Writer With a few more "breaks." espe cially In the matter of pitching, it might have been one of those old atandbys, the New York Yankees or Philadelphia Athletics, who walked off with the American league pen nant this year Instead of Washing ton's Senators. Those two clubs, which have mo nopolized the flag for the past seven years, still are capable of playing plenty of good baseball. Whcn the pressure of the pennant chaso was ended both started winning streaks and when they split a double header yesterday It was the 15th victory In 30 games for each. Playing the same orana of ball, the strength and weaknesses of both teams came out clearly In the bar gain bill. Lefty Gomez was more effective on the hill than Lefty Grove In the opener and the Yankees won, 7 to 0.
