The a Francisco Sailor Gives Cor
bett a Hard Fight.

That San Franciscoaus have lost none
OF their Old time interest in Corbett re-
ceived ample demonstration on the night
of the oath. when the crowd began 10 as
semble to witness the four round conte est
between the champion and Tom Sharkey,
the sailor. Ten thousand people were
present when the contest was called.
Corbet, was ~favorite at odds OF 10 to s.
The champion had that he
weu.d knock the marine out IN fOur
rounds.
During the last two rounds Sharkey
was the aCgressor and Corbett was forced
10 clinch to keep tie sailor from lighting.
Ii vas the opinion of all who saw the
fight that Sharkey more than held his
own and was the freshest Of the two at
the end OF the contest. 1t is practically a
victory for Sharkey. who had to be held
by tie police 10 keep him from going at
Cerbett.
Corhett seemed TO be greatly exhausted.
The sailors adherents allege that Corbeit
himself gave the signal for the police in
reference when he found he was getting
the worst of il.
