NEW YORK, November 4.-After the
Jeffries-Sharkey bout was over last
night the two pugilists were taken to
SEPARATE Turkish bath establishments
up town. With two broken ribs and
lame shoulder, Sharkey was willing to
be assisted in his movements, and when
he and his attendants reached their
destination after a long ride in cab
he was carried into the bath house and
rubbed down.
During that operation he talked a
little, saying he would have put JEFF
fries out if he had not wrenched his
left shoulder in the eighteenth round.
cit was like fighting with one arm
after that" he said. He did not know
how the shoulder was wrenched.
Before coming over from Coney Is
land Jeffries was driven to his head
quarters on the Ocean boulevard, where
he packed his grip. after which he rode
in a coupe over to the borough of Man
haitian. He remained at the bathing
rooms until noon, when he set out for
Philadelphia to visit relatives.
The champion seemed anything but
pleased over the result of the light.
He had expected much easier task.
There is big lump on his cheekbone
and a slight abrasion on the forenead
between the eyebrows and the skin OF
his nose is badly lacerated.
His left arm, which was strained
while training, is now almost useless.
Tt bothered him considerably during
the last round of last nights fight.
Sharkey said to a reporter to-day that
he would, during the day, post check
for $4,000 for another bout with JEFF
fries.
George Siler, who acted as referee IN
last nights bout, said: "Sharkey put
I'D a great fight, but he was out-gener-
aied by Jeffries, who fought a clean
cut battle and out-pointed Sharkey
throughout, with the exception Of few
rounds.
"Sharkey at time was aggressive and
led often, but many Of his blows which
may have appeared to land On JeHries,
went wide of the mark.
1.-The champion blocked Sharkey's
leads repeatedly Sharkey in his desire
to win resorted to questionable tac-
tics. 1t was the greatest heavyweight
fight l have ever seen, and | think it
will be long time before such an
other battle takes place. Both men
showed gameness, and their endurance
was almost marvellous.
Sharkey said: "Jeffries didn't win
that fight. Giving the decision to him
was the rankest kind Of a robbery and
Jeffries wasn't the only man who was
in on the deal either. 1t was the rank
est kind of a steal Why, that big stiff
was laying all over me half the time
and fouling me time and again. / ask
ed him to break away and he wouldn't.
1t was more like wrestling than any
thing else
"Jeffries says you fouled him. said
one of those present
Hes a liar" exclaimed Sharkey.
81 never fouled him"
What do you think of Jeffrie5 as
fighter, and how does he compare with
other men you have been up against?'
Hes a big kid. All he's got is
strength He don't know anything
about fighting at all. He hasn't got the
least little bit of science. He knows
how to wrestle and that's about all he
does know He can't fight and I'll bet
he doesn't hold that belt a year."
