appears that the Irish champion received
letter from friend in this CITY some
time ago which stated that Sharkey posi-
lively refused TO meet man of Maher's
standing, who had been whipped By
second-class men, and that he would not
gain anything by whipping second raters.
The sailor champion had an idea once
upon time that by touring through the
country towns giving exhibitions OF box
ing with one Jack McAuiiffe money would
How into his treasury box, as the entire
country folk would turn out TO see Cham
pion Tom in action.
The first exhibition of i'm portance was
given In Sacramento, and the proceeds of
the house amounted to something like
$2OO clear OF expenses. Jack McAuliffe
claimed $3.50 as hls share, and the balance
SO it is said, was divided equally between
Sharkey and his manager-a gentleman
known to the sporting fraternity as
bright Eyes"
Tom grew disgusted with the exhibition
business and refused to journey any
further with his company. On his return
to this City Sharkey held an interview
with Lynch and Needham and a scheme
was concocted by which McAuiffe was
10 get the worst of the play. The story
goes that Tom happened accidentally. as it
were, into Corbett's emporium of sport,

the act OF Quenching his tnivst-
Slapping Jack on the back, Sharkey put
on his best smile and said:
Jack, I've got match for you, and we
can make heap OF stuff out OF it. What
do you think?''
We'll, ] would like TO know who gave
You any authority to make match for
me?' retorted McAuliffe, scorEfully.
Sharkey knew enough to let we'll enough
alone when he saw that McAuliffe would
not stand any foolishness, so turning
quickly on his heels he left the sporting
quarters to report to his friend Danny
That the scheme would not work '.ior u
cent"
Those who are in the puglistic swim
say that it was Needham's intention 10
meet McAullffe in six-round go "for
