Strike Hurts Schools.

The school funds are mainly de-

AS long as the mines work regu-

Sharkey was inconsolable, and cried

O'Rourke, his manager, expressed the
opinion that the sailor should have re-
ceiyed the decision. He said that two
of Sharkey's ribs were broken, and that
during the last four rounds Toms left
hand was useless, having been broken
on Jeffries' head. Although the deci-
sion was against hlm, he said Sharkey
would not give up, but would seek an
other match, and the next time the re-
suit would be different.
