Washington, Dec. 4.-The president
has issued proclamation suspending
after January next the operations of
the act which relieves German vessels
entering United States ports from the
payment of tonnage dues and other
shipping charges. This action was
taken on proof that American vessels
are denied corresponding privileges In
German ports. The shipping charges
under our laws are based on a sliding
scale. The presidents action will
doubtless arouse widespread interest
In shipping circles.
The presidents proclamation will go

which date the vessels Of Germany en-

charges ranging on a sliding scale Of
from to 80 cents per ton per annum.

Lively Fight from the Start.

Fitzsimmons' fighting all through was
in marked contrast to that of Sharkey.
Bob broke away promptly from clinch-
es and made no attempt to strike. The
New Zealander showed himself mas
ter of his craft. He cunningly kept
away from the sailors mad rushes,
poking his long left into Sharkeys
face whenever he got too near. Shar-
key coud not get inside of that long,
thin arm which, when it Strengthened
out. was like a bar of steel. 1t was a
lively fight from the start. Bob was
even more aggressive than Sharkey
and kept his man on the move all the
tim. In the very first round Fitzsim-
mons saw an opening and right swing
on the jaw sent Sharkey to the floor.
That made the sailor a bit cautious and
during the next four rounds he tried
to keep out of reach. In the fourth
Sharkey pushed Fitzsimmons over on
to the floor, and before Bob could get
up MAIDS. a couple of vicious swipes at
him. Ritzsimmons cleverly clinched
and avoided damage. but it was a clear
case Of foul on Sharkey's part. No
claim was made, however, and the
fight Went on.

SHARKEY GIVEN FIGHT.
Referee Decides in Favor of the
Sailor Boy.
SAYS FITZsIMMONs FOULED HIM.

Witnessed the Fight Could BE Convinced
That Bob Had Been Unfair, and Were
Certain That III n Foul Had Been Com
mitted 1t Was Unintentional-The Con-
test Witnessed by Number of Women.
=, francisco. Dec. 4.-Bob Fitz-
F'H 4 and Sharkey, the sailor, who
* ear knocking out Jim Corbett
some .ionths ago, met for a ten-round
go in the Mechanics pavilion Wednes-
day night and the building was packed
with about $4,000 persons, several hun
dred of those present being women. 1t
was fully 9 o'clock before the great
crowd began TO make an impression on
the vast amount of vacant seate. Out

mated at 10000, which commenced to
assemble as early as o'clock 1t is
estimated that the National club took
In at least $4,000 at the box Office.
The two big pugilists appeared in
the ring at 10:30 p. m. and were re-
ceived with vociferous applause. There
was some trouble over a referee, neith-
er Julian nor Fitz liking carp, the man
chosen by the National club, and Juli-

Tried To Throw Bob.

In the fifth Sharkey did more mean
work, grabbing Fitzsimmons around
the legs and trying to throw him. Fitz-
simmons then began to warm up, and
went after the sturdy sailor like cy-
clone. A poke on the nose and a left
swing on the jaw sent Sharkey down.
He rolled under the ropes and would
have gone off the platform had not
Bob courteously hauled him back. 1t
looked as IL Tom was done for, but the
gong sounded and he was given min
ute in which to recuperate.
In the sixth Sharkey made pre-
tence of fighting, leading for Bobs
wind. He missed connections every
time, however, while Fitzsimmons would
land his left on the jaw. When the
round closed Sharkey was decidedly
groggy, but was on his feet. A joyous
shout went up from the many sports
who had bet even money that he would
last six rounds.
When the seventh round opened Fttz-
simmons tried to end matters. He
swung his right repeatedly for the jaw.
but in some manner Sharkey escaped.
The left jabs always connected. though.
and Tom was decidedly on the wane.
tn. D,sa strous Eighth.
The copper country evening news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 18??-1907, 1896-12-04

Bob himself was none too strong, and
seemed to be bit tired when the
round closed. Then came the disastrous
eighth. Fitzsimmons went at his man
with a will, and fairly smothered him
with lefts and Fighters. First 1t would
be the mouth that suffered, then the
nose and later the eye. Fitzsmmons
was working like a demon. His long
arms shot out with amazing rapidity
and Toms head bobbed back and forth
I'm response. Then Fitzsimmons got
ND close to finish the job in a workman
like manner. A right half arm jolt un-
der the chin sent the sailors head to
one side. A left hook similarly applied
sent him over backwards.
Then came the ch-disputed foul.
Very few of the immense crowd could
be convinced that Fitzsimmons had
been unfair. and Ii is almost certain
that IL foul were committed 1t was
unintentional. While the marine was
falling the referee claims that Fitzsim-
mons struck him in the groin with
his knee, thus committing foul.

sharkey Badly Hurt.

Sharkey was undoubtedly badly hurt.
He was unable to move his legs, though
he cIutched spasmodically at his groin
with his gloved hand. His seconds
rushed In to the ring and raised him
nm. but he tainted away and was borne
from the ring unconscious.
The decision was received with Kisses
and groans. AS far as the art OF fight
ing goes, Sharkey Is not In the same
class with F'itzsimmons. He Is Will
ing strong man, but has little science.
A clever man like Fitzsimmons had no
trouble in avoiding his rushes and he
continually left himself open to damag-
ing blows.
Fitzsimmons was seen at the Baldwin
hotel after the fight. He said: Il have
been robbed. have always fought
fairly. and I did not foul Sharkey. If
he was hurt II was done without my
knowledge and was an unavoidable ac-
cident."
