SHARKEY- MAHER MATCH
Final InstaIIments Of the Side
Bet Put Up.
A San Francisco Club Offers SO,
900 for the Fight-Brady
Only Offers $4,000.

New YORK. Aug 2.-The battle between
Tom Sharhey and Peter Maner Is Well
under way This much was settled to-
day when Buck Connolly, representing
Maher and Dan Lynch, Sharkey's manager,
met Wien articles of agreement were
signed several months ago, both boxers
fixed on August l to deposit 81 300 each,
the final installments of the side bet of
$1,000. THIS condition was fulfilled to-
,ight and the money placed in the hands
of Al Smith, the final stakeholder.
lynch came all the way from San Fran
cisco to arrange the battle. There was
no pickering or friction To speak OF between
the managers. They stated their business
and took Immediate action without any
parley.
Bnlv Brady attended the session in be-
half of himself and the carnival at Nevada
next fall, which he is now planning. How
ever, he surprised everybody by bidding
ONLY $4,000, and 40 per cent of the
picture privileges Neither Lynch nor
Connolly considered this in the least start
ling, and told Brady so.
..Weli. that's all 1 care to give" re-
piled the little manager, laoonically
s'You promised more than that before"
chimed in both Connolly and Lynch.
"It was stated that you would give
$4,000 for the contest
.sI never made such a bid,' declared
Brady, and negotiations as far as he
was concerned, ended right there.
Lynch received IA dispatch from Zick
Abrahary,s, of San Francisco, formerly
SolIv Smiths manager. The telegram
read:
,The Knjckerbocker Athletic Club, or
San Francisco, will give 100000 for the
Sharkey and Maher fight. to take place
on October IL. Will deposit money for
same with any newspaper in Frisco"
Connolly said that $4,000 was quite
sum and if the club was on a level he
would waive all Of his previous objections
to Frisco ana fight there. On the strength
of this Lynch wired back for particulars
as to the referee and the proposed loca-
tion.
Parson Davies. representing big syn
dicate. also sent word to Lynch that he
would like to have chance to bid. Davies
is in Chicago and it is understood the men
interested in trying to bring off the fight
are wealthy Chicago sports.
Sharkey Will be here in two weeks. He
is due TO leave Ireland next Saturday
The fact that Dan Stuart has not, so far,
made bid for the match is creating a
good deal of talk.
