Sharkey WaSKnOCked Out
in Eighth Round.
But Referee Gave Him the
Fight on Alleged Foul.
FitzsimmOns Clearly 0utclassed His
Sailor Opponent.

San Francisco, Dec. 3.--No event in the
history of pugllism on the Pacific coast
ever attracted public attention as did
the battle between the heavyweiGAts.
Robert Fitzsimmons and Thomas Shar-
key, last night. Between $4,000 and 2o'-
0O0 people occupied the available space
In the bis Mechanics pavilion and
watched the contest. which everyone re-
garded as proc octically deciding the cham
pionship of the world.
The long. lean New Zelander, who had
had a succession OF victories in the
United States for 1--WE or six years, en-
tered the ring with. almost every ap-
parent advantage. 1e could count in
his favor experience, science, height.
reach and every other quality which en-
ters into the making of the successful
prize fighter.
Against him was pitted the sailor LAD
who was unknown six months ago, but
who came into fame recently, when he
came perilously near trailing in the dust
the colors Of Callfornia's idol, James j..
Corbett. Against the science, experience,
superior height and reach of Fltzsim-
mons was Sharkey with his youth and
strength, probably one Of the greatest
examples Of muscular development that
the prize ring has produced.
