of physicians and newspaper men were
present In Sharkey's room to-day when.
an examination Of his injuries were
made. All were Convinced that Shark
ey'sS conditio was the result OF q foul
blow. Many prominent men, however,
condemn the decision and refuse to 4
believe there was eny fOuling. Such
men az Police Commissioner Gunst,
Riley Grammar, Mai. Frank McI1augh-
lin, who was chairman OF the Repub-
lican state central committee, and 9TH
era, believe that Fitzsimmons should
have received the decision. 1t Is point

that there were whispers that Sharkey
would be favored in the decision, and
these rumors reaching Fitzsimmons'
ears, he requested the club to substi-
tute any one else as referee. Even at
the ringside, when both Julian and
Fltzsimmons stated in Earp's presence
that they had been told be intended to
referee unfairly, carp stood quietly by
and insisted on acting MS referee de-
spite the protests. 1t is pointed out :
that Fitzsimmons fought a clean,
skillful. scientific and winning battle,
while Shnrkcy's fight was rough and
unfair. For his unfairness it is
charged that Sharkey was not even
reproved by the referee. 1t is claimed
that the uppercut on Sharkey's chin in
the eighth round was really knock
out blow, and that no foul blow was
delivered by Titzsin mons. but that
Sharkey when knocked out, alleged the
foul blow as an excuse. All this con-
stitutes the case Of Fitzsimmons, by
which his attorneys expect to prove the
existence of conspiracy to deprive
Fitzsimmons Of the purse of $4,000
