IN THE RING
Sharkey Thinks He Can, Whip Anybody but
Coryctt

| Coryett
| SAN FRANCISCO, June. 5.-Ton
| Sharkey, who defeated Jim Williams o!
| Salt Lake Wednesday evening, has ar
| rived at the conclusion that he Is good
enough to meet any of the heavy weights
barring Jim Corbett
Among the heavy weights of the pres
ent there is one man who lives not far
from the city who, although having re-
manned very quiet during the recent
spell of pugilism, is only too anxious to
give Tom Sharkey or any other man, for
that matter a little fistic interview. Joe
McAuliffe, and his manager, Prof. Bar
ney Farley. are prepared. at moments S
notice, to attach their signatures to any
articles of agreement that may be pleas
ing to Sharkey
True, McAuliffe has been defeated by
Jackson, Slavin and Goddard, but it
must be said in behalf of the Mission
Giant that there are very few men in
the fighting business today outside of
Corbett and Jackson who are in Nc
Auliffe's class
If Joe would keep himself in anything
like fair condition he would find any
number of men of means who would
back him against Sharkey, Slavin, Ma
her Fitzsimmons and others who are
now looking for high honorS.
1t is said that Corbett has asked Shar-
key to travel with him as his sparring
partner
No one will question Sharkey's game
qualities. He is as brave as lion and
as strong as an OK All he requires to
make him top notcher is a years in
struction under such a polished artist
as James j. Corbett.
