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.

There seems little to choose, on the
whole, but Mancuao's somewhat more
robust batting average, plus hla ex

o-er Sewell In the "dope aheet."
To Mancuso I given much of the
credit for the sensational development

Moreover, until Mancuao came along
to take over the bulk of the catching.
Carl Hubbell had no battery-mate to

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. Johnny Marcum, the rookie
"wonder" from Louisville, gave Phil-,
adelphla the pitching In the after-1
pleoe and won his third major league j
victory, 10 to 1.
The final tune-up of the New
York Giants' pitchers for the world '
series In a double header with the
Phillies completed the day's major
program. Carl Hubbell, slated to
start (he first game against the Sen
ators, got timely support from the
New York regulars and won, 3-1, but
Hal Schumacher found the backing
of the reserves less effective and took
a 6-to-0 trimming
