Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1896-12-04
The Decision Contested.

San Francisco, Dec. "a thpuRh
Sharkey was awarded the ! cision
after the 9Th round in last nights bat
claring hat Fitz had struck a foul
blow, the sailor may not ct the SlO,-
600 purse after all. At any rate, he
will have to make a legal tigh foi It,
which may prove a much harder
struggle than be had last uisht.
When the referee, Wyatt carp, last
night declared tpar Fitz had struck
Sharkey below the belt and tnat
Sharkey was the victor on "A foul, he
handed Lynch, who is Sharkry's
hacker and manager, a certified check
on the Anglo-CalifoInia bank for
SO, 900. Fitzsimmons promptly pro
tested and consulted an attorney, who
decided to enjoin the bank from pay
ing the money until the courts could
pass on Sharkey's rights to the purse.
This morning, 500 after the bank
fed check and demand payment. To
his surprise, the bank officials re-
fused to honor the check.
Opinions vary as to the outcome Of
this difficulty about the purse. Lynch
and his friends declare that the de-
olson is final and that there is no
appeal from it Fitzsimmons advis-
ers assert that the contest was not
stopped by the police and therefore is
subject to legal controversy.
FitZ denies that he struck a foul
blow. He accuses the referee of un-
fair ruliI g throughout the fight aud
that Sharkey fouled him many times.
Fitz declares that carp made a crook
ed bargain to that effect in the inter-
est of the ~bookmakers.
The doctors and newspapermen who
saw Sharkey stripped after the fight
say that there were u~umistaksble
signs Of q blow in the groin. Today
Sharkey Is 10 bed and he is badly
swollen and d~iscolored. The doctors
say that he must remain in bed for Il
few days.
They add, however, hat any exer-
else at present might be followed by
serious results. Many believe that
the foul blow was delivered accident
ally. Others openly say that Fitz-
simmons intentionally delivered the
foul blow Just after the uppercut on
the chin, and that he intended that
the uppercut should appear to be a
knockout blow, hoping that the foul
would pass unnoticed as Sharkey
fell.
