fused to talk but Tom O'Rourke expressed
the opinion that the sailor should have re-
ceived the decision. He says two Of
Sharkey's ribs were broken and that during
the last four rounds Toms left hand was
useless, having been broken on Jeffries
head Although the decision was against
him he said Sharkey would not give up, but
would seek another match and the next time
the result would be different
But don't think this fellow will want to
tackle Tom again" said O'Rourke. "Il
keep after him until he agrees to another
meeting or make him crawl"
When seen in his dressing room after the
contest Jeffries said:
'Sharkey is the hardest and best man
have met and l hardly expect to meet a
better in the future. Within six months
have met and defeated the two best men in
the world. and will now take long rest,
probably nine months or a year. Never
again will fight under the same conditions.
The heat from the lights overhead tended to
take away good deal of my steam, and the
glare OF the floor weakened my eyes. My
left arm, the one that was injured while
training, gave out in the fourth round, and I
could not use 1t properly for the rest of the
battle, or the result would have been diff
ferent, for think could have knocked him
out. Sharkey Is game man and hard to
beat, but had no thought Of any different
result at any time during the battle. After
my rest which think the public will agree
that deserve I will again be ready to m set
any and all who aspire to my title"
