 Statements.
 John Kelly, the referee, made the fol- lowing statement: T stopped the bout and gave the decision to Sharkey be- cause Mcvey, one of Corbett's seconds 1 in violation of all rules, jumped into the ring. called all bets off because be- lieve the action of McVey was paid by somebody who had bet on Sharkey, and I did not propose to decide public money on a palpable fake I would not be party to such a fraud. No one can | tell me Mcvey lost his head. He has been behind fighters for years and there was some fraudulent movement behind 1 his actions.e
 | McVey said: T jumped into the ring because I saw Sharkey hitting in almost every clinch, and sometimes SC low that anybody ought to have been able to see it. I called out to the referee time after time in the last round and then I could stand it no longer and stuck my head through the ropes, but i Kelly did not see me. And then l saw Sharkey hit Jim In another clinch. guess I lost my head and put my foot over the ropes and they gave the fight to Sharkey I am sorry that I am the cause of the dec sion being given against Corbett. He had Sharkey whipped, but I could not stand seeing Jim get fouled without making a protest"
 Corbett said: 'I think that those who saw the fight will agree that had Sharkey whipped and could have had the decision in another round or two It was my misfortune that Me vey jumped into the ring to call the 1 | fighting. He did fight foul; he hit me i low once in the second round and again in the seventh. I did not see McVey jump into the ring and when Kelly said ''You win.'' I though he meant me be- cause I knew I had away the best o1 it. After I realized that the decision was against me I offered to fight 1t out with him then and there, but he walka away I ought to have gone right after my man and whipped him in four rounds. I will leave the decision te those who saw the fight"
 Sharkey said: T regret that Cor betts seconds got into the ring, for ir a few more rounds, perhaps the next I would have put him out. I fought fair. Corbett struck too low once ol l twice. Not a blow that was delivered hurt me. I have not scratch or mark on me-"
