SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10-The evil
dence in the -Sharkey case
today was along the lines of the testi-
mony previously given, and Fitzsim-
mons and Julian have certainly fulfilled
their promise to produce the story of
conspiracy that would startle the sport
ing world.
George Allen, Sharkey's second and
assistant trainer, was the principal wit
ness today his evidence corroborating
in the main the testimony given by
"Australian Billy" Smith. On cross ex-
animation Allen admitted that. while
Sharkey after the fight gave no external
evidence of injury in the groin. he asked
for water when taken to his dressing
room, and when the water was brought
directed Allen to battle his groin. Allen
considered that Sharkey had been fair
ly knocked out by Fitzsimmons and de-
clares that no foul blow was struck by
the latter. He was SO impressed by the
fact that Sharkey was knocked out that
after the sailor had been down six Sec
onds, he started to throw up his towel
to indicate Sharkey's surrender.
Allen said he helped to carry Sharkey
into the dressing room, from which all
but Sharkey, Lynch and the trainers
were excluded. In the dressing room
Sharkey was carefully examined and
witnes was positive at that time he was
uninjured in the groin. After Sharkey
was taken to his hotel an dthe trainers
were excluded from Sharkey's room.
Lynch. Danny Needham and DR.. Lee
were alone with Sharkey. Shortly after
wards from his position outside the
room witnes said he heard Sharkey cry
out as If in pain. When he next saw
Sharkey on the following day his groin
was bandaged and there were stains of
blood on the groin. He appalled, fomenta-
tions to the groin, which was then swol-
len and discolored. No doctor was per-
mitted to examine Sharkey in the Dress
ing room Immediately after the fight, al
though several, including the physician
of the National Athletic club, applied
for admittance and rendered their SER
vices. According to the witness Lynch
Said I'VE want no doctor here"
Witness on cross examination reiterated
his positive statement that no foul blow
was struck and the only Injuries Sharkey
received during the fight were on the
head and face.
William Abbott, saloonkeeper, testi-
| fled that during the fight he had sat close
to the ring and that when Sharkey was
knocked out he had assisted Smith and
Allen to carry Sharkey to the dressing
room. He corroborated the statements

not been fouled, and said that Sharkey
gave no evidence of having been fouled.
His testimony regarding the absence
of evidence of foul or of any marks on
Sharkey's groin when carried from the
ring was corroborative of that of the
previous witness. A recess was then
taken until Monday.
In the police court today Referee Wy
att carp was fined $50 for having carried
a pistol in the ring on the night of the
fight.

the face and head. Hard fighting start
ed at the call of time and never closed.

other almost out three times, but could
not land hard enough to finish till Queen

ond victory over Woods.
A SEATTLE MILL
SEATTLE, WASH, Dec. 10.-Jack Nc
Auliffe, the lightweight champion of the
world, ran up against a Snag in this city
tonight in his four-round' go with Jack
Green instructor of boxing of the Seattle
Athletic club. The bout was the wind
up of successful boxing and wrestling
exhibition under the auspices of the
Seattle Athletic club, and was witnessed
by 1850 people. McAuliffe was in fairly
good condition, his recent fight with Car
roll in San Francisco being the causes.
Green was in fine fette for four-round
go, weighing 142 pounds. McAuliffe was
eight pounds heavier. In the first round
honors were even, with Green on the
aggressive. Just as the gong sounded
for the second, round McAuliffe stated to
the crowd that he had come to Seattle to
give an exhibition, and not to fight, but
If Green wanted the latter he would do
his best to accommodate him. He linn
hered up in the second round, but Green
kept jabbing his left into the champions
wind and face until he had, McAuliffe
greatly bothered. After the second
Green's corner and stated that Nc
Auliffe was sick at the stomach and
asked him to let up. Green did as they
requested and confined his operations to
the head. McAuliffe landed hard up
percut In the third round, but outside IF
this he did not connect very often with
the Boston lad. All during the go Nc
Auliffe kept up his tantalizing jabber,
but Green would not rattle. 1t was the
concensus of opinion that Green had the
best of the bout, but there is question
whether he could win in finish fight.
