REFEREE CALLEDTHEM DOWN

San Francisco March u.-Much to the disgust of the crowd. the Sharkey-C -Choyn- ski fight tonight ended in draw in the eighth round.
 The selection of referee not having been made beforehand, nearly an hour was wasted in trying to reach an agree ment after the men were in the ring Choynski proposed H. M. Cook, Jim Dom aid and Peter Jackson, but Sharkey would have none of them, and suggested Frank Case or Billy Delaney, neither of whom pleased his opponent. Then Choynsh sug- gested leaving the matter to the newspa- per men to decide, but this was not to Sharkey's taste.
 The matter was ultimately setted by the selection of George Green and the men at once proceeded to get down to business. Time was called at 10:42 o'clock.
 The men agreed not to hit in clinches.
