.CORBETT DID The HUGGING
Pompadour Jim Did the Most Work
With His Jaw.
Friends Admit He Got the Worst of
tue Bout and Could Not Have
Lasted Another Round.

San Francisco, June 20. "They fought
like dubs" was tue brief but truthful ex-
preston of the small boy who stood by the
ringside at the conclusion OF the Corbett-
Sharkey fight last night. Although the
event was declared draw, C6rbett's most
generous friends admit that the champion
was worsted and that ne could not have
lasted another round. When the police ins
terfered, near the conclusion of the fourth
round, 1T required tie combined efforts OF
three officers to restrain Sharkey fru~
rushing at his opponent, while Ccrbett did
not have enough breath left To ontinue his
incessant protest to tile referee. In brief,
Corbett attempted to beat Suarkey at the
latter's own game and received tie worst
of it. assf
As the men stepped into the ring many
OF Corbett's admirers remarked that he
seemed to lack vitality. Sharkey was ner-
Vous, but strong. At the call of time
Corbett was smiling and confident, while
the sailor was fidgety. but aggressive.
AFTER the mutual admiration was concluded,
Corbctt reached for Sharkey's Jaw with
his right and landed a beautiful blow. but
the sailor never WINGED. on the contrary,
II seemed TO wake him up and he rushed at
Corbett, clinch following. In the break.
away Corbett uppercut sliarkey, thus pro-
yokinG storm of misses. Corhett took the
Initiative, but Sharkey stood up like man
and met every lead with counter.
though he did but little DANA ge with them,
the majority being wild. When the round
ended Corbett was breathing heavily,
While Sharkey showed traces OF returning
confidence.
AS the gong sounded for the second round,
Sharkey responded promptly, meeting Cor
bett more than half way, and closing with
him. Hugging Sharkey tight with his left,
Corbett waved his right in protest to the
referee, aud began conversation with that
official, which he continued until the police
subdued the pugnacious sailor at the end
of the fight Directly the men were sepa-
rated, neither of them would lead. and u
clinch invariably followed. At first many
supposed that Sharkey was doing the hug
ging, but it soon became evident that Cor
| bett was skilifully resting upon his op-
ponent's shoulders, at the same time Work
ing his jaws necessarily in Il protest to the
referee. This official labored beroically
with the fighters, receiving many hard
| knocks in his attempts to separate them.
At each break Corbett would upper cut
| Sharkey, while the sailor was seemingly
nonplussed. SO it continued until the con-
clusion of the fourth round.
Later in the night Corbett explained his
miserable showing to his friends as best he
could

Death In Mysterious Manner

agents of this city, met death IN mysterious
manner yesterday evening. He was seated

ing cards, when he excused himself and
went out into the yard. Not returning for
some time, search was made, when he was
found lying dead with bullet hole in his
temple.
A search was made for the pistol, but
none was found. His hat was lying about
thirty feet away, near an outbuilding. No
one in the house or around the premises had
heard a shot. The theory or suicide was
advanced, but the absence of the pistol was
mystery. 1t was supposed that he might
have shot himself in the outbuilding and
that the pistol might have fallen in the
well, but there was no accounting for the
fact that with a pistol buffct in his head
he had Travelled some fifty. feet to where
