SAILOR TOM SHARKEY
DROPS INTO TOWN
TALKS OF THE COMING BIG
SLUGGING MATCH.
Frankly Says He Thinks Fitzsim-
mons Will Win in Ten Rounds
or Be Beaten.

Tom Sharkey. the disputed champion
heavyweight pugilist of the world, ar
rived last evening on the overland from
Chicago.
Sharkey states that his mission to Cali
fornia is one Of pleasure and business and
that he will leave for New York in time
TO witness the twenty-five round contest
between Bob" Fitzsimmons and Jim"
Jeffries, the big heavyweight who got a
decision over Sharkey in this city about
a year ago Sharkey has since that time
tried every means of getting a return
match with Jeffries, but has always met
with a refusal.
Speaking of the contest between JEFF
fries and Fitzsimmons, Sharkey said: Il
am satisfied that Jeffries will get square
deal and that the best man will win. l
am Of the opinion that if FitZsimmons
cannot stop Jeffries in ten rounds the
champion Of Los Angeles Will defeat him.
But YOU must understand that Fitzsim-
mons is a wonder and can administer ter
rife punishment while his strength pre-
walls, and il Jeffries can stand the ham
mering he is certainly bound to receive in
the early stages of the game he will as
suredly surprise me.
II don't think that 'F'itz has gone
back any, and if he is as good a man to-
day as when he fought NE l should GER
t.lnly say that he viii retire from the
ring with cOlors flying"
Sharkey will leave for Vallejo on Mon
day TO see his old friends, but will return
to this city prior to his departure for New
York, as he is DESTROYS of being at the
ringside To challenge the winner for the
heavyweight championship of the world,
which title he contends rightfully belongs
to himself he having whipped the best
men in the profession.

OFFICIAL PLU MS
ILLEGALLY GIVEN
Gage Did Not Observe
the Law.

SACRAMENTO, May 20.-It is re-
ported here tonight that Attorney
General Ford has rendered to Governor
Gage an opinion wherein he declares,
in effect, that a number of appoint
ments made by Governor Gage since
the adjournment of the last Legislature
are illegal. 1t will be remembered that
Governor Gage withdrew a list of ap-
pointments made by Governor Budd
his predecessor, and submitted to the
Senate for its ratification. Gage failed
to substitute new list before the final
adjournment of the Legislature and
since then has made new appointments
for these offices, which include the
Trustees Of the Normal schools and the
Commissioners of the State Depart
ment of Highways.
1t is said that the opinion prepared
by the Attorney General holds that
these vacancies having occurred prior
to or during the legislative session, it
was the duty of Governor Gage, under
the constitution, to have filled them in
season so that the Senate might have
acted upon them. The opinion con-
tends, so it is stated. that all appoint
mentS made by the Governor should be
so ratified by the session of the Legis-
lature Immediately following, and
further in effect that it is not the in
tention of the law that each Governor
on taking office shall have the power
to withdraw a list of appointments
made by his predecessor without fol-
lowing them with a substitute list, to
be acted upon by the Legislature at the
session before which the original list
was submitted
