SAILOR TOM SHARKEY TALKS.
Said Last Night He Would Put COrbett

Chicago the heavyweight colored cham
pion. The rounds were tame, very tame,
but that mattered nothing to the audi
ence, which was there to see Sailor
Tom. AT the close of the show Sharkey,
his wife and his manager were seen at
| the Savoy, where they stayed last night.
Tom talked freely of the chances of his
meeting F'itzsimmons and said: It's
up to him now. | have covered his
money and am ready for him at any
time. / will fight him to a finish, TWEEN
| ty-five rounds, or twenty rounds, but the

Mexico or any out of the way place.
will fight before the club which offers
the largest purse. / will be there and
if the fight isn't pulled off on the day
set, / want the money"
Speaking Of Mccoy, Sharkey said: II
will say this about Mccoy. 1 always
found him square fellow. People told
me that he would jump through the
ropes if l got after him hot, but 1
punched him the hardest ever punched
a man in my life and I found him
square to the dot If he had ten pounds
more he would make anyone hop, but of
course he is a light fellow. AS for Cor
bett, will put him out of business in
six rounds when I meet him March T.
Sharlley now weighs about 100 pounds.
He weighed 172 the night he met Nc
Coy, but ten days later he weighed 1876
in the Harvard gymnasium, gain of
% pounds in the ten days. He gets very
little time for exercise work while on
the road, but gets In as much time at
work as he can. He goes to Bridgeport
tonight.
Ernst Roeber, who is wrestling at the
Grand this week, speaking of Fitzsim-
mons, whom he trained for the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight, said last night: IF
Sharkey and Fitzsimmons ever meet,
mark my word, Fitz will give the sailor
all he wants and viii win the fight
Fitzsimmons always keeps in good con-
ditior. He is not heavy drinker and
does not need watching. He knows
enough to take good care Of himself. I
have trained him for three fights, the
last one being for Corbett He is a
faithful worker and is quite original in
some Of his methods. / have not seen
him of late but 1 understand he is in
good shape. He has a wife and three
children of whom he thinks the world
and his business is to work for them.
He looks upon the matter in this light.
He is one Of the squarest fighters I ever
saw and should easily whip Sharkey.
The other night in Syracuse Tommy
Ryan outpointed the sailor and dazed
him. Judging from this what should
Fitzsimmona do?"

Erin order to prepare homemade
starter the dairyman has to secure two
