"Why Sharkey could lick him the best day he ever lived," said the ex-gob's stocky mentor and now his associate in the opera tion of a tavern with "the long est bar in Boston.'.' "In fact, we could lick him to day and we will if he gives us a match all receipts to go for the benefit of servicemen." "I mean that," Buckley said after scanning the list of the best 10 Dempsey gave out yesterday in San Francisco. Sharkey, who hung up his gloves long ago, was not available to speak for him self. "Sharkey's in good condition today," the rotund Johnny add ed, "and we'll take on that guy any time just to show him that I'm not mistaken, even now." Buckley asserted that Demp sey "fouled my boy to death" in Notre Dame Quint Breaks Scoring Record SOUTH BEND,.

"Ho hit Sharkey at least 11 foul blows. Everyone at the ringside knew that, including the newspaper boys. You could see those puncn es to the groin a mile away. "Why he had him licked in the third round. He was out on his feet, but Sharkey was a little too merciful, and as a result ho lost the chance to meet Tunney. Sharkey could have beaten seven out of the 10 men named by Dempsey, Johnny averred. "Tunney and Gibbons were great fighters," Buckley agreed. "Fulton would have been a cincli for Sharkey; Gunboat Smith would have been easy: a Bren- nan bout would have been one sided for Sharkey; Carpentior only weighed 158 he would have beaten him. Firpo what the hell, he was a setup. Dempsey, however, named them among others as the best he ever opposed, lie didn t even give Sharkey honorable men tion. Why didn't he pick Sharkey? "Well, it's this way," Buckley ex p 1 a i n e d. "Dempsey never liked -my boy. Sharkey, was too tough for him. He didn't want any more of us after we pinned his ears back until Sharkey got careless. We tried to get him 20 times after that, but he ducked us." Buckley said that Sharkey was a better boxer than cither Dempsey or Tunney and a better hitter than the latter. "If Tunney could beat Demp sey boxing, my boy both a box er and hitter would have mur dered him in a return engage ment,". Johnny added. . Minor Loop Heads Wait For Action Group Silont At Meeting Closet; Demand Recognition In Choice of Committionor By JIMMY JORDAN CHICAGO, Feb. 28 (fl'l Minor league strategists, seeking to broaden the scope of their base bull dealing with the "hlgher ups," snt buck and waited today for reverberations if any from the major Iraguos on their threat to abrogate tho major minor agreement. Tho strategists, ten of them chosen to recommend revisions in the mnjor-mlnor pact which expires next January, were silent as their thrcc-dny meeting drew toward a close.

Yesterday, Tom Richardson, committee chairman and presi dent of the Eastern league, said the intent of the protest regard ing selection of a commissioner by presidents ot the 16 major league clubs, without giving the minors a voice, was to pave tho way for abrogation of the major minor league pact "If the now commissioner, whoever he may be, tries to get too tough with uV Major league officials have made no comment on the com mittee's threat to abrogate the agreement, and of that Richard son said: "That's all right If tho majors don't want to comment. We just let them know how we're feeling and they can think it over." The minors raised a similar cry 24 years ago when Landls was selected commissioner, but it was ignored by tho majors. Richardson declined to say whether the committee amended the agreement to eliminate the clause denying their right to legal recourse in commissioner decisions. He also was silent as to whether the group recom mended, a hike in player-draft prices from the $7500 maximum. The committee concludes its sessions today with a rules re vision meeting. Although main ly concerned with player techni calities, the rules also involve territorial rights of , minor leagues and may be revised to provide greater protection. All the recommended revisions will be brought before the December meeting of the National associa tion for final approval.
