sharkey VIII Not Recover From His In
Juries For "a Week at Least


San Francisco, Dec. g. - Thomas
sharkey. who was knocked out by Fltz-
simmons on Wednesday night, is still in
bed. watched over by three physicians
They say he Is improving, but that 1t VIII
be at least q week before he RECEIVERS
from the effects OF the injury he says he
received from Fitzsimmons in the eighth
round. Al least two of the physicians
who have examined Sharkey since the
fight do not believe his fnjury was re-
ceived from Fitzsimmons, or that 1t was
caused by a blow at all, but the gener-
ally accepted belief now is that he was
accidentally fouled by Fitzsimmons.
ID. j. Lynch, Sharkey's hacker, made
another attempt to have his certificate of
deposit for $4,000 cashed by the Anglo
California bank yesterday. The bank
manager told Lynch OF the superior court
Injunction. restraining the bank from
cashing the certificate pending the ef-
fort Of Fltzsimmons TO prove fraud ane
conspiracy" and declined to pay the
money. Lynch threatened TO bring suit
AGAINST the bank and the manager fol
the amount OF the certificate, and also
for damages for the refusal to cash 1t.
Sharkey has 10 days in which TO answer
the complaint filed by FitGsimmons, anc
il is not expected that the legal fight viii
be hurried. FitZsimmons is taking mat
ters quietly. and is making engagements
for his appearance at various places OF
entertainments in this city and vicinity
when he will give boxing exhibitions.
The poolrooms and boolxmakers de-
cided to cash the bets yesterday, and
holders of wagprs on Sharkey were made
happy.
A sensational story is being told In
sporting circles concerning an alleged
telegram sent east, II is alleged. by
Danny Needham, advising the placing
of large amounts on Sharkey, with ar
intimation that the tip was valuable.
