SHARKEY AND
WIFE ILL TO
THE MUSTARD’
»
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Thomas J.
Sharkey begs to announce that he and
his wife are about to become recon
ciled.
Mr. Sharkey is a gentleman who ac
quired distinction through the momen
tum with which he was able to propel
his closed hands against the persons
of sundry other gentlemen. Subse
quent to that attainment he became
host at a place of rendezvous on East
Fourteenth street, making a specialty
of beverages.
Members of Mr. Sharkey’s clubs were
pained to learn that Mr. Sharkey’s wife
had caused him to be served with pa
pers in a suit for separation, alleging
treatment unbecoming in one who oc
cupied Mr. Sharkey’s station.
It was whispered that inasmuch as
Mr. Sharkey’s profits approximate the
sum of $l5O daily, Mrs. Sharkey would
urge upon the court the advisability of
conceding her an alimony of S2OO week
ly pending the final disposition of the
matter at issue.
Friends who called to commiserate
with Mr. Sharkey were relieved, how
ever, to perceive that Mr. Sharkey was
preserving Iris customary sunny loqua
city. and a deduction that the status
quo had been ameliorated was support
ed by the following observations from
the genial host:
"Take it from me, bo, I se» t my law
yer. and it’s going to be all to the mus
tard between her and I. Them family
bust-ups will happen now and then.
She flew the coop, being peeved, but
don’t believe I ever handed her a bunch
of fives. Nit! We’ll be reconciled, all
right, all right. It’s on the house, boys;
what’s everybody’s?"
ENGLAND PLANS~TO~WIN
NEXT OLYMPIC MEET
LONDON. Aug. 2. —England has de
termined to wrest the athletic suprema
cy of the world from the United States,
and a movement is now in full swing
to have the British empire represented
by a team of the finest and best trained
athletes at the Olympic games in Ber
lin in 1916.
A resolution adopted by the Athletic
Advisory club last night for raising a
fund of $125,000 to be devoted to the
training of athletes for the next Olym
piad met with enthusiastic approval
throughout all English sporting circles
today, and the amount will easily be
doubled or trebled if it is deemed nec
essary.
Offers of parks tor training purposes
are pouring in on the committee, and
names of promising athletes are being
received in every mail. One comes from
the London county council, which ten
ders the use of all the city parks for
training purposes.
Lord Desbrough, who presided at last
night’s meeting of the Advisory club,
declared today that the first essential
to success was a plan whereby the pick
of the athletes of the whole empire
would compWe as a British team in
stead of being split up into colonial
teams whose victories added nothing to
a national total, as was the case at
Stockholm.
MIKE MURPHY, VETERAN
TRAINER. MAY RETIRE
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Mike Mur
phey. veteran trainer .of American ath
letes and who handled the Yankees in
the Olympic games, is hearing the call
of retirement and from an authorita
tive source it was learned today that he
will quit as a teacher. Mike is far from
strong and the strain on his vitality
has been too great.
It is an old story, of course, that he.
is to retir.e, but it comes this time
backed by the hint that another form
of activity has made Its appeal to l)im,
one that would be profitable and would
not be of such a tiring order.
The new enterprise that is being
talked of for Mike will be one that will
keep him very much in the public eye
should he finally decide to undertake
it, and. while not exactly athletics, is
akin to that sort of work.

Monty Believes Wells Would
Beat Palzer in Another Bout
By Monty.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—ls Bom
bardier Wells should get an
other crack at Al Palzer, he
would knock the lowan’s block off.
If he should meet Jack Johnson
in a ten-rounder in this town, as
seems not entirely improbable, he
would make the nigger go some
and. in our judgment, would stand
a good chance of outpointing him.
But, before either of these matches
can be. made, the British heavy
weight champion will pit his
strength and cleverness against Joe
Jeannette, and over the limited dis
tance he should prove an A No. 1
bet. Odds —probably about 3 to 2
on Jeannette, and you will find
yours truly tipping all his friends
to take the white man’s end of the
figures. The date for the Wells--
Jeannette bout probably will be
Immediately after his visit to Eng
land, which is to be a shore one.
But, getting back to the original
thing we set out to expostulate
upon, it is the line that leads to
our conclusion that Wells Is a bet
ter man that Palzer. that he can
lick the giant. Wells made a
mistake in tactics when he met
Palzer. He jumped into the fray
from the clang of the gong with
intent upon stretching his opponent
on the canvas in the briefest possi
ble space of time. During the very
first round he banged Palzer almost
into insensibility with his fierce
rushing attack. He had Palzer's
right eye almost closed and twice
had dropped the big fellow for the
count of nine. Such a smashing
attack never had been witnessed
among heavyweights in a New
York ring.
The second round found Wells
still after the lowa farmer at top
speed and landing blow upon blow
upon blow with fearful impact.
Palzar’s tremendous size, strength
anti grit alone kept him from jour
neying to Slumberland. But he
came back for more and assimilated
his trouncing as though it were an
enjoyable meal. But the awful
pace had snapped Wells' strength.
He began to tire. He never had
rushed so furiously in all his life,
he told me after the scrap, and the
effort told on him.
He had not expected to go more
than a couple of rounds at that
speed—no man could. The crowd
could see that he had planned to
make his bid for fame in the first
part of the fight with a rapid
knockout that would dazzle all
America. Wells figured to get his
man early. With these tactics, if
he could not get him early, he
would not get him at all. and he
knew it.
As soon as he felt himself tiring.
Wells said afterward, he knew the
jig was up. At the end of the second
round Palzer began his rally and
dropped Wells for a short count.
ATTELL READY FOR BOUT
WITH MURPHY TOMORROW
SAN FRANCISCO. CAL., Aug. 2.—Abe
Attell is ready for his 20-rourid battle
with Tommy Murphy, the New York light
weight who defeated him some months
ago. The pair come together tomorrow
before Jimmy Coffroth's Eighth street
arena and there is every indication that
one of the hardest and most bitter fights
of years will be waged. That defeat at
the hands of Murphy has been sticking
in Atteil's eraw and he wants revenge.
Abe says it’s do or die with him and no
inercv 'will be shown the Easterner.
It is Abe's plan to hike Eastward al
most immediately following the tight. He
has set Sunday for his .departure from
here. It is and has been known for a
long time that the former featherweight
champion is not fond of long battles.
Now that the ban is off in New York, he
hopes to get into action there. Frankly,
Attell believes that if he rushes East he
might get Wolgast in a ten-round affair
in Gotham.
ORTH DECLARES~A BALK
AND PHILLIES WIN OUT
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 2.—Philadel
phia owed its victory over St. Louis
yesterday. 4 to 3, to an odd incident
which occurred in the fifth inning-. With
the bases filled and one out. Manager
Bresnahan Jumped from the visitors’
bench, gave a yell and ran toward the
home plate. Sallee, who was in the
act of pitching the ball to S. Magee,
stepped off the rubber. The home team's
claim of a balk was allowed by Umpire
Orth. Killifer scoring and the other run
ners moving up.
CLEANS OUT WHOLE CLUB.
NEWARK, OHIO, Aug. 2. —Franklin
Warren, formerly of this city, but now
of Chicago, who is financing the local
Ohio State league team, has given Bar
ry McCormick carte blanche to change
the entire personnel of the club on
account of dissipation, indifference and
dissatisfaction among the players. Me.
Cormi'ck already has started partially
carrying out the orders. Players re
placed will not be released, but sus
pended for the balance of the season.
LOOKOUTS RELEASE HAMILTON.
CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Aug 2.
Outfielder Hamilton, the Notre Dame
college star, has been released by the
local club. He was generally too light
for Southern league ball.
111E AILAVtAUEUKU2AA AAI>A E VV S. FKI DAY. AU G UST 2, 1912.
However, at the close of the period
Wells had a tremendous lead on
points. Palzer was terribly mauled.
But he had not exerted himself
anything like the amount that the
Englishman had. Palzer could not
expend as much energy in the same
space of time even if he should try
to. As the third round opened
Wells tried his same fast, boring
assault, but he was all in, while
Palzer was practically fresh, so
far as muscles were concerned, and
a few moments sufficed for the
knockout punch to come across.
Clevir Against Kennedy.
Now, a week ago, we saw Wells
fight a different sort of fight. He
was against the man known as the
cleverest heavyweight boxer seen
in New York since Corbett—none
other than Tom Kennedy. Wells
fought a fight after Kennedy’s own
heart. He stood away and boxed,
cutting his man into ribbons with
long lefts that lacked the force of
the. ones that struck Palzer, but
possessed the qualities that cut up
and pain a man, draw his blood and
leave him weak a while later. They
were typical Packey McFarlands
on a bigger scale. In every round
Wells’ lead on points grew, and
by the time the eighth round had
arrived he figured that Kennedy
was beaten to the proper point.
Then he stepped in and made his
bid for a knockout. Bang! And
down went Kennedy for a nine
count. Up he got, and bang again!
Both blows were triphammer right
swings, delivered with all the force
at the Englishman’s command. He
had taken time to set himself,
measure his man and place all the
weight of his body behind them.
This second time Kennedy’s head
was saved from striking the floor
by the ropes. They supported him
around the shoulders. He lay limp
while Referee Joh began to drone
the count. Then came whizzing the
sponge from Kennedy’s corner that
proclaimed him a badly beaten
man.
Will Outbox Palzer and Win.
This second kind of fight is the
sort that Wells will hand Palzer
if they meet again. He has learned
the lesson that Palzer is one man
that can not be beaten at his own
style of game—by Wells. The Brit
on confessed to me his policy in the
past. It was to learn the other
man's general style and go to him
in that very way. thus taking him
by surprise. But it wouldn't work
with Palzer, and Wells admits the
fact now.
He will fight a stay-away com
bat next time, if there is a next
time. He will pepper Palzer to
shreds with that sinister left—that
left that comes from below, from
the outside, from the inside, from
aboVe. from behind; that left that
can not be stopped, that lands with
squareness on the spot intended;
that left that will win for him the
victory.
TAFT CONGRATULATES
INDIAN JIM THORPE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—President
Taft has made public a letter he sent,
tp James Thorpe, the Carlisle Indian
school student, who was victorious in
the Olympic games at Stockholm.
The president said: "I have much
pleasure in congratulating you on ac
count of your noteworthy victory at
the Olympic games in Stockholm. Your
performance was one of which you may
well be proud. You have set a high
standard of physical development
which is only attained by right living |
and right thinking, and your victory .
will serve as an incentive to all to im- I
prove those qualities which character- I
tze the best type of American citizen." i
CAPRON HAS NARROW ESCAPE.
MILWAI’KEE, WIS., Aug. 2.—Ralph
Capron, former Brewer and former
Minnesota football star, who is in Mil
waukee awaiting instructions from the
management of the Pittsburg baseball
club, had a narrow escape from death
here. While driving along in an auto
mobile he ran into the ditch on the
Blue Mound road, and as the car was
turned over the front wheel broke, slid
ing it down a small embankment and
saving the. lives of the occupants.

MACK BELIEVES HIS
TEAM IS NEARLY OUT
PHILADELPHIA. PA., Aug. 2.—Connie
Mack, njanager of the Athletics, is of the
belief that unless the Athletics win twelve
out of the next sixteen games they will
be out of the American league pennant
race.
“I will not give up hope until the last
ray has disappeared, he continued. ‘‘The
general run of American league teams
this year is twice if not three times as
strong as last year, and while this alone
has not kept the Athletics from the lead,
it is one of the principal causes.”
COBB STEALS SECOND,
THIRD AND HOME IN ROW

some more fine base running yesterday.
In the sixth inning Cobb got to first on a
bad throw by Foster. He stole second
on the third strike on Crawford, and
kept right on to third, A minute later
be dashed for home, and Williams drop
ped the ball, but Connolly called him
out. Connolly later reversed his deci
sion, after consulting with Umpire
Hart, and Cobb got credit for three
stolen bases in one inning.
PATTERSON WILL HELP
COACH CLEMSON ELEVEN
"Pat” Patterson, star player of the
Tech football team last year, will be
assistant coach of the Clemson football
team this fall.
Frank Dobson will be in charge of
tile luckless South Carolina Tigers, as
usual. The fact that "Pat” Patterson
will assist him should make it possible
for the Clemsonites to frame up a
strong defense against Tech and pos
sibly make the Thanksgiving day game
a better affair.
