Many Rumors Circulated About
JeYries, poor Condition.
CONEY ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB, N.
Y. Nov 3.-Coney Island is dull enough,
everybody knows, when the summer season
is over but it is the dullest place on earth
during a storm such as prevailed tonight.
Nevertheless the sports came down to the
island from the city as early as noon and
the news that Jeffries' chief trainer, Billy
Delaney, had made a public statement to
the effect that the champion had not pre-
pared himself for this fight according to
Delaney's Instructions created more than
a mild sensation Later on in the day
word was received that Delaney denied
making this statement, but the denial came
at a time when the report had so thor
oughly spread that il did not carry very
much weight Delaney's statement prompt
ed others that came from persons who
were unauthorized 10 make them but who
claimed to know what they were talking
about There were so many rumors regard
ing the poor condition Of Jeffres that many
began 10 feel convinced that there was
something wrong with him. There was a
general belief that he was Cvertrained and
all the arguments that Brady and the other
intimates OF Jeffries offered could not
change the opinion. Predictions were free
ly made that by the time the men entered
the ring confidence in Jeffries would have
been so severely shaken on account Of these
wild rumors that Sharkey would be install

ting would be at even money. Indications
of big attendance forced the management
to place the admission tickets on sale ear

Round I7-Sharkey ran into hard clineh
and sent left and right for the head
Jeffries pounded the body and also landed
on the left eye. The sailor got his left
TO the jaw once more. and this time Jeffries
stayed in a corner for the first minute and
a half of the round, Sharkey leading and
fghting into continual clinches Then
Jaffries went out of the corner into the
one opposite. Sharkey kept on with the
left and paid no attention to any blows that
Jeffries landed. AS the bell rang Sharkey
landed a right swing on the jaw.
still Very Aggressive.
Round 1S-Sharkey opened with a fast
left for the jaw that was stopped by the
shoulder Jefries put in a body punch,
and then. as the men got into a clinch,
Jeffries appealed to the referee, charging
Sharkey with holding. Jeffries tried the
right again, and this time he reached the
ear. Sharkey was staggered a bit, but ran
right back with his left in JeffTies' face
drawing the blood again from the nose.
Sharkey forced the fight so that Jeffries
