LOUIS WHIPS

SHARKEY

FINISHES FIGHT IN

THIRD ROUND

(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH”).

· Ringside, Yankee Stadium, Aug. 18. Joe Louis, dusky sensation from Detroit, smashed his way back into the forefront of the heavyweight challengers' circle by knocking out the faded former champion, Jack Sharkey, Boston ex-sailor, after one minute and two seconds of fighting in the third round. He battered the blood-smeared white man to the floor four times.

This come-back bout drew an unexpectedly large crowd, and Mike Jacobs, one of its promoters, estimated 50,000 had seats which cost $200,000.

Louis was a three-to-one favourite. Several celebrities attended the fight, including the ex-champion, Jack Dempsey, the undefeated ex champion, Gene Tunney, Pennsylvania's Governor Earle, Detroit's Mayor Couzens, Tony Canzoneri, the great lightweight, Wilson, ex-middleweight champion, Mr. Edgar Hoover, G-Men's Chief, and others.

The weather was cool 'and, elcar,) and a pleasant south-eastern ·breeze funned the open seats of the vast studium. Louis orrived first and went directly to his dressing-room while the preliminaries were in progress, saying, "I wish was Schmeling again instead of Sharkey.”
