NEIL Associated Press Sports \Writer MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 26. (AP)--The bulldog of the latest heavyweight crop, Jack Sharkey, and Young. Stripling, a lean young greyhound'of the ring, tonight rest- lessly waited the gong \that will send them forth before 35,000 per- sons in Flamingo park tomorrow night to determine which, shall Con- tinue along the road that leads to the -^heavyweight title Gene ' Tun- ney.left vacant. For the fi;Cst time since the match •wasirmacie.&ix: weeks ago, the bat- tlers themselves took over the spotlight ^i'at has focused previous- ly for the mpst part on as pictures- erne a setting as the prize ring ever has .'seen. Since the fighters start- ed training\ here three weeks ago they have competed for attention with Jack Dempsey, promoter of the show, with the host of celeb- rities and social leaders who throng the southland in the winter time, in additjon. to developments in,the,', fight,.^picture that often overshadow the match itself. Bjat for tonight at least, the set- ting ahd,; 5 surraundings were for- gotten'in-contemplation of the bat- tle Tex Kickai'd planned before his death, a battle Dempsey undertook to promote • to a success as a tri- bute to the man who made him a millionaire. Where the naming of a referee, the arguments over rules, a minor-injury to Stribling and even a pistol shot at Dempsey tak- en in.'tW'datk once held the chief attention*, \ ^flight the fight was the thing.' ' William F. Carey, head of the enterprise as the vice-president of the Madison Square Garden cor- poration, announced late in the af- ternoon that the receipts to date were $325,000 and might reach §400,000 before principals entered the ring for the 10 round fistic civil war of the north and south. On this basis, the profit on a' ven- ture that at first seemed doomed to failure, will range between ?75,- 000 and ?150,000. The rules that will govern the fray were the subject of a confer- ence today among Jack Dempsey, Referee Lou Magnolia of New York, and the managers of Shar- key and Stjibling. The chief sec- onds will beV'Pa\ Strihling, father of the Georgian, and Johnny Buck- ley, mentor of the Boston sailor- man. Most interesting' of the' regula- tions is that governing knock downs. Dempsey, tragedian in the \long count\ episode with Gene Tunney in Chicago, insisted that there be no misunderstanding. The referee is charged with responsi- bility of seeing that a fighter scor- ing a knockdown goes promptly to a neutral corner. It the fighter does not do so, the count will be halted to enforce this rule, and then pick- ed up where the count was left off. The referee will escort him to a- neutral corner and then return to resume the count at \five.\ The conference of officials also decided to bar tossing in a towel as token of defeat. Decision as to any foul blows will rest entirely with the referee. There will be no judges.

POWERPERMIT IS DENIED BY COMMISSION ALBANY, Feb. 26.—The Public Service Commission, pending fur- ther determination, in the Supreme Court, has denied, \without preju- dice to reopening on pplication, a petition.\ by the Low Power & Light\ Corporation, involving a wat- er power development on Bogg river-and* to construct and operate an electrical transmitting and dis- tributing system in Colton and Piercefield, St, Lawrence county, the leasing of'the Low company's 'generating and • transmitting plant in the two townships to the Tupper Lake village for supplying addi- tional pow»r .to Its municipal light- ing plant, and right to the Tupper Lake village plant to operate in the towns of Colton, Piercefield and Altamont.» It- was disclosed in the evidence before Commissioner Lunn that the Tupper Lake vil'^. had made a. contract with the 4 1 Smith's Electric Light & Power Company under which ' the latter built a transmission line from Paul Smith's to Tupper Lake. The orig- inal agreement in 1924 was for five years and on November 7, 1927 it was extended by the vil- lage as provided for another five years. It was contended by the vil- lage and the Low company that the agreement with the Paul Smith's company did not bind the village to purchase all of its electric ener- gy from the Paul Smith's company. Suit was brought in. the Supreme returns tonight will be given to the fight fans at the Crescent Recrea- tion rooms opposite the Journal office. Although the fight will be broad- cast over the radio as usual, many fight fans have requested the Journal to continue its usual mega« phone service, the blow by blow description -which comes from the ringside over the Associated Press special wires. Feeling that even though the fans themselves appear anxious to face the weather to- night, it would be dangerous to the health of many, the Journal got in touch with Francis LeRoux, proprietor of the Crescent Recrea- tion rooms and bowling alleys and he at once offered the use«of his charge. As a result all who wish to hear the Associated Press re- turns blow by blow may do so com- fortably seated on the bleachers Inside, The special fight service- will Start Bhortly after 9 o'clock -with tho preliminaries while the main scrap starts around 10 o'clock.
