Fun for Sharkey.

Philadelphia, January 30.-Tom
SharlSey put out Jack Mccormick,
of this city, in the second round OF
what was to have been a six round
so at the Arena tonight. The bout
lasted rs long as it did probably be-
cause the sailor wanted to give the
great crowd present something for
their money.
In the opening of the second
round he put in left uppercut, and
sent right and left in turn to the jaw
and brought the right up again to
the same spot. Mccormick went
down and stayed the limit. When
he got to his feet Tom banged his
right in the stomach, his left on the
jaw. The local man went out of the
business. The round lasted two
minutes and fifteen seconds.
After the bout Sharkey announc-
ed that O'Rourke would, on his be-
half, cover the money deposited in
New York by Fitzsimmons.
