the battle. This. however, he was COM
PEELED to DO. being obliged to get close.
Had he fought at long range he would
not have stood a ghost of a chance. as
Jeffries. being the more scientific and the
longer in the reach, would have had all
the advantage.
A great many persons argue that Shar-
KEY was entitled 10 a draw because he
put up such a game fight against 50 big
a man as Jeffries. and that the contest
went the limit. That may be good way
to figure draw, but not 10 my way Of
thinking.
There was considerable talk around
town before the fight that there was
something doing. and that Sharkey was
slated TO win sure. Quite a number Of
persons some from Chicago. approached
me on the subject. and I told them that

know anything about It. A lot 81 stories

Regarding ticker and some other re-
ports of the fight which stated that Shar-
key hit Jeffries from three to four blows
to one received, would like to PROFOUND
a few queries.
Sharkey is a strong man, q terrific hit
ter, and was in the best condition pos
sible, having trained at least three
months before the fight, and if, as said,
he hit Jeffries so hard and often, why did
he not leave some marks of his handi-
work? Being a terrific hitter and having
landed on Jeffries' face time without
number, according to reports, why did he
not black Jeffries' eyes, smash his nose,
split his lips, or bruise his face?
Jeffries left the ring with a slight cut
on the left side of his nose, the result of
colliding with Sharkey's head, and a
slight cut on his forhead, between the
eyes, also from a collision. These were
the only visible marks on his face.
Now, where was Sharkey landing all
those terrific punches? He either did not
land as often as reported or there was
no steam behind his blows. Furthermore,
Jeff walked out of the ring and building
unassisted, had a jollifcation with his
friends, went to New York, took a bath,
and then went to Philadelphia to box Joe
Goddard, He did not box Joe, however,
because his left arm was lame, it having
gone back on him early in the fight. JEFF
fries was not in the best of condition,
and such being the case, he should have
shown some marks of the punishment
administered to him by Sharkey, as re-
ports say.
Everybody knows the condition Shark
ey was in after the fight and for days
after. His left eye was cut and closed
tight his face was swollen, and those
who saw him directly after the fight say
he could not talk above a whisper. He
was helped out of the ring and building.
and suffered terribly. A couple of his
ribs We're broken, his left shoulder dis
located. so it was reported. and. to sum It
all up, he was completely broken up.
Surely Jeffries must have gained some
points?

never saw it. The rule pertaining to that
simly says: Should a glove burst or
come off it must be replaced to the salts
faction of the referee or words to that
effect.
We are fighting under English rules and
I've often heard the remark during the
progress of a fight: "They would not
allow that in England" or "They do so
and so at the National Sporting Club in
London
Now, taking it for granted that we are
to do in America just they do in Eng
land. I did perfectly right in ordering
Sharkey aside and taking it upon myself
to replace the glove, as I have 1t from
good authority that this is just what Ref
cree Angle of the National Sporting Club
of London does.
Queensberry rules say in case of knock
down the man on his feet must retire to
his corner. I've yet to see the referee
who said I erred, send a man to his cor
ner in case Of knOck-down, and cannot
understand why they should pass judge
ment on me for doing something not COW
cred by the rules, while they neglect to
act according to the rules.
Judging by some of the letters received
the ticker reports gave Sharkey all the
better of the fight. l wonder if the gen.
eral public knows who or what the oper-
ator is who sends out the reports. Do
they know whether he is a younth of D,
who possibly never saw a fight before,
and is therefore incompetent to send
correct and unbiased reporter a man of
80, whether competent or not, VINO has a
bet on one Of the principals?
Operators like spectators, have their
likes and dislikes, and are apt to be pre-
JUDGED 1 do not wish to infer that the
ticker of the big fight was prejudiced or
that he was incompetent. but L do know
of instances wherein the operators were
novices at the fighting game. Still their
reports were devoured as being the prop
err goods.
This was notably the case in the Mccoy
Rubin fight at Syracuse. Rubin, ac-
cording to the ticker. slammed the life
out of Mccoy, when in fact Mccoy did
not get his hair ruffled, while Rubin was
pummeled to pieces.

SAYS He KNOWS A FIGHT

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-George siIer writes
] in tbe Tribune:
Things the toning down a bit. A week
ago 1 was a highway robber; few days
| later a petty larceny thief; a day or two
| after that a suspicious character; and to
day I am considered honest enough toride
in a trolley car among honest people.
| Who knows but that in another week I'll
be honest enough to salute policeman?
There was plenty of mud singing, but
| fortunately for me it wasn't of a sticky
nature and most of it dropped off almost
as quickly as it struck me. 1 expect to-
have it all removed before 1 leave for
Chicago next Tuesday OF course I do not
expect to reach home as Immaculate as
when 1 left two months ago, still think
my friends and present enemies will rec
ognize me.
By my present enemies I mean those
who bet on Sharkey and accepted the
ticker and other reports as being correct
and expressed their opinion as to which
was entitled to the decision on these re-
ports. 1 do not blame anybody who bet
on Sharkey for arguing that erred in
awarding the fight to Jeffries. They all
course, SO am l.
I have not argued with any one at
length regarding the fight, neither have
I gone into details. and probably would
not but for the fact that a number of
re-heads-friends of Sharkey's and those
who lost their money on him-still de-
clare that he was entitled to a draw An
other reason for writing what will fol-
low is that l have received scores Of let
tiers from friends in Chicago and through
out the Western country, asking for an
explanation.
To begin with, Tom O'Rourke, Sharkey's
manager, said the decision was a bare
faced robbery, meaning, of coure, that
Sharkey had won the fight and should
have been declared the winner. O'Rourke
is undoubtedly good judge of a fight;
still 1 do not consider him, nor anybody
else a better judge than L am.
O'Rourke, as Sharkey's manager ire
spective of the money he oct on his man
was naturally prejudiced. 1, as referred,
was not. He undoubtedly looked at the
fight with prejudiced eye; saw every
thing that Sharkey did, and was probably
blind TO lots of the things that Jeffries
did. This is only natural Both men
were alike to me. was closer to the
fight than was O'Rourke or anybody else.
and does that not give me shade, so TO
speak?

that notable assemblage from North,
South and Central America, known as
the International American congress-,
that Ferguson first made his appear
ance as an official interpreter. Mr..
Blaine's right hand man on that par
ticular occasion was William E. Cur
tbs, who, in looking around for trans
lators and interpreters, recalled that
young Ferguson had spent his early
life in a Spanish-American country,
and was doubtless fitted for this par
ticular work. Ferguson undertook the
task, and he made his bow as official
interpreter by taking the memorable
speech of James G. Blaine, greeting the
South and Central Americans, and
rendering it into Spanish. 1t was no
easy task, for Blaine spoke rapidly and
with that wealth of f%gurative speech
which always marked his discourse.
But Ferguson did it not only rapidly
and we'll, but with felicity of express
sion, such nice shading of figures and
metaphors that it drew the enthusiast
ito applause of those Spanish auditors.
1t was such hat when Blaine turned
from the reading he remarked to some
state department officials:
81 don't know whether that was my
triumph or Ferguson's."
At all events Ferguson made his
reputation then and there as an inter-
prefer, swho could not only give the
letter Of the speech, but could convey
it's spirit, even its accent and its modu-
lations by which the speaker sought to
impress one or the other feature upon
his hearers. Since then he has acted
as interpreter in many notable gath
erings. He is a man of splendid ply
sique, six feet three inches in height,
broad shouldered and robust, weighing
probably $50 pounds.
