q couple of facts that Round About has
not yet learned the latter would like to
be taught the facts.
Tom Sharkey and Peter Maher had
their slupging match last night in New
York, and the bout was declared a
draw. In the sixth round Sharkey
punched Maher nearly through the
ropes and would have put him out had
not his second called him off. In the.
seventh round Maher knocked Sharkey
down but the latter came to time
promptly and when the gong sounded
Maher kept punching Sharkey and the
latter retaliated, and when one of Ma
hers seconds showed up in the ring.
Sharkey swiped him and the rough
and tumble fight was kept up until the
police interfered and arrested all the
parties concerned. There was no sci
ence displayed. but it was simply
rough and tumble fight.

in the future.
