Later this summer, Herr Schmeling will probably fight out the world's title inheritance with Josef Paul Cukoschay (Jack Sharkey), the glossy, glib, unconvincing Bostonian than whom, for the moment, the U. S. can apparently produce no heavyweight less unsatisfactory...
Meyers Wilson ("K. O.") Christner, a little stolid and very solid, had knocked out 37 fisticuffers in 44 bouts. But he was almost unheard of east of Akron, Ohio, and west of the Mississippi River, until he demolished Knute Hansen and was signed up to fight Josef Paul Cukoschay ("Jack Sharkey") in Madison Square Garden last week...
...floor again. Then M. Uzcudun lay on the floor himself, flipped himself erect with a comic leer and said: "Paolino Uzcudun, champion du monde!" Champion du monde (of the world) he was anything but, having demonstrated very little except that Mr. Wills is a total anachronism. Josef Paul Cukoschay (Jack Sharkey), Boston sailor, demonstrated the same thing some months ago (TIME, Oct. 25).

There were 52 seconds in the fifth round, during which Maloney twice found himself prostrated on the canvas. The second time he did not rise unaided; so the referee ruled that Cukoschay...
...Cukoschay, once a sailor in the U. S. Navy, has been a rising heavyweight contender ever since he put an end to the so-called "Senegambian menace" that sport writers attached to Harry Wills. He now stands in line in Promoter Rickard's notebook to meet William Harrison Dempsey in the summer. If he conquers Dempsey or if Dempsey does not wish to be met, Cukoschay will be eligible to exchange buffets with Champion Tunney in the autumn...
