Of the 2sth round over sailor Tom
sharkey. at the Coney Island Sporting
Club.
II was one Of the most marvellous bat,
ties that has taken place, and the great
est crowd that ever gathered in the
COney Island club house witnessed the
desperate struggle for supremacy. In
fye rounds JeRries had the better OF the
fght-in the frst two and the last
three: during the other 20 sharkey
forced the issue. and; like q bull ter
rier, was at his man with ali his force
increasingly. In those 20 rounds JET.
ries great weight and Drawn helped
him hold on the sailor, and in the ga
round he swung In couple Of vicious
uppercuts that made Gharkey groggy.
Tom came back again in the 24th and
18th, but he was weakened greatly By
Jeffries' vicious blows. One minute be.

Jelfries left glove came on and prae.
ticaily the contest was over. The ref.
cree motioned 10 Jeffries' corner. an
American nag was flung over the cham
pion's shoulders. and the crowd on that
side and end Of the arena cheered wild.
~. The crowd on the opposite side and
end In ShaFkey's corner yelled for
Sharkey, and the men were led back
TO their dressing rooms.
When seen In his dressing room after
the contest JefRries said:
"Sharkey Il the hardest and best
man have ever met and hardly ex
pect TO meet a better one In the future
Within six months have met and de
feated the best two men In the world
