At the Stadium, the white flvwrfght champion of Australia, drew with Leonard Newtonwite, who fouled thrice, but was treated lenieutly by the referee. CARNERA AND SHARKEY PREPARATIONS FOR BIG BOUT Received October 11, 7.5 p.m., NEW YORK, Oct. 10. Carnera and Sharkey comp eted theip training to-day in rural retreats a considerable distance from tho city. Sharkey is still handicapped to some extent by a hand injury, but- during his workouts last week he indicated determination to prepare himself as b<»st ho vould for the contest in which I expect to put an end to all my disappointments. ’ ’ ( arnora has not boon impressive in his training and despite his 601 b. advantage will probab’y have the belting odds against him when he enters the ring. The Now York State Boxing Commission will probably recognise the winner as ihi* American champion.
