The much anticipated grand international battle for the heavyweight championship of the world...Fight takes place this weekend in San Francisco...Tom Sharkey expects to win inside the distance to take the decision out of the hands of the referee who has still to be determined ....Peter Jackson has kept himself in good trim since his last fight and is easing his workouts to avoid over-training....Sportsman Bud Renaud is putting up $50,000 to back Jackson at odds of 2 to 1....Morse Ganse the "independent financier of Sheepshead Bay" has $15,000 ready to place on Sharkey...Harry Corbett's favours Jackson over Sharkey 10 to 8....Eastern sports are reminding all how good Sharkey looked in beating Kid McCoy who many think a much more clever boxer than Jackson....
