failure in his business. He is his own

Christian. as members of the church are
known but he is an honorable man, and

Mrs. Jeffries says she has not had a
letter from Jim for several days, and she
does not know when he will come to the
coast She did not send him any tele-
grams. and none have come from him to
the family His brother, John, and many
friends sent him messages of congratu-

Referee Siler Tells Why He
Decided in Favor Of the

Claims He Fought

and a Damaged Hand.
BY GEORGE SILER.

NEW YORK Nov. 3.-To begin with the fight the
fastest have thought when began that it
would go six rounds The sluggng simply
rife eres started with right hand body blows hard enough
stop ordinary any fighter tough Shar
ing way eres being the longer in reach heavier
and scientific thought that Sharkey would begin rush
ing tactics right from the start and surprised him
stand off and SPAR This thought great advantage
Jefries
Jeffries' seconds claimed fouls repeatedly, and
PEELED caution Shakey quite often It seemed that every
time he hit he into bulldog fashion, banging any old
and roughng much possible in cnches Several
times during the fight he hit ees alongside the head after
the bell had sounded.
Sharkey seemed stronger after about the tenth
round and Jefes seemed becoming weak Shar
KEY struck me- the stronger of the around the four
teenth fifteenth round and had shade the better of the
fighting thought that effries might have been holding
back he would with squirt quite often landing hard.
Jim baced up after the twentieth round and had shade
the better of for rounds although Sharkey would slam
occasionally The last three rounds all in favor of

percut him repeatedly with his right and had the sailor look
ing bit queer
In the wentyfth round both up fairly strong and

rushed. Jeffres threw up his gloved and
ungloved hand and with the former up
percut Sharkey. Siler ran between them
and made a second attempt to assist JEFF
fries. The sailor waited moment, but,
wildly excited by the shrieks of the spec
tators he rushed again Siler dragged
Jeffries away and the gong rang. The
referee pointed to Jeffries' corner and his
seconds and friends cheered wildly.
The majority of those at the ringside
hardly thought Sharkey would get worse
than a draw. for the sailor fought
viciously, always after his man, with
good Judgment, and outpointed the cham
pion. On the other hand, Jeffries, while
he had the better by long odds of the last
three rounds, did very little leading In the
other twenty-five, and when he led he
was. either too high or two low, getting
in but few good punches.
The decision was not announced from
the ring, or, If it was, few heard 1t, and
a great mob surged around for several
minutes. yelling and shouting for the vic
tor and vanquished
When seen In his dressing room after
the contest Jeffries said:
.'Sharkey is the hardest and best man 1
have ever met. and / hardly expect to
meet better in the future. Within six
months | have met and defeated the two
best men in the world, and will now take
a long rest. probably nine months or a
