This picture shows the adhesive tape on Jack Sharkey's left eyebrow and eyelid, hiding a wound inflicted by a sparring partner at Sharkey's training camp in Orangeburgh, N. Y. Jack doesn't look worried as he stirs a glass of iced tea and ponders over next Tuesday's fight with the Brown Bomber, but Louis may select that eye as a target early in the battle.
