sHARKEY SAYS HE rs CHAMPION.
He Arrives From the West to Train for His
Fight With JefirIea.

Tom Sharkey. the sailor pugilIst. has come
to town to carry out his contract to meet Jim
Jeffries for the championship OF the world on
Oct %. before the club Offering the highest IN
ducement. He arrived yesterday afternoon at
1880 o'clock. Sharkey intended to remain on
the Pacific coast until next month. but the
fact that there exists q growing impression
among the sports that he was not anxious to
meet Jeffrles. hastened his return to the east.
Sharkey has grown stout since his last visit
here. which was about three months ago. He
weighs now. he says. 1872 pounds. more than he
has weighed In fact. out OF training since he
took up fighting as profession. His muscular
development Is Just as prominent as ever. and
1t is apparent that he has done some exercising
OF late. In n talk with THE SUN reporter. tho
eX-sailor said
Il do not intend to roast any one. All 1 can
say Is that am here ready to fight and to con-
vince my friends that l will DO in the ring on
Oct. %, ready to carry out my part OF the pro-
gramme. Jefrries has been going all over the
United States saying that / would not fight
him. Well. | never ran, away from any one. and
do not intend to do so now. am here and
that ought to assure all my enemies that
mean only business 1t makes me smile to see
Jeffries bill himself az the champion. Where
does he come In to do this? l am the champ
ion. and every ono knows 1t. l defeated Jim
Corbett. Kid Mccoy and Bob FitHsimmons. and
fought draw with Peter Mahor. Can JefTrcs
show such record? No. sir, he cannot I
licked Fitzsimmons i'm Frisco Jefrrics did the
same. I'll admit but Fitz was two years older
then. and had been out Of the ring some time.
Jeffres says l won't fight him. We'll, 1 have
got from 81. 900 to $1,000 to bet that will be
in the ring. and that when we come together he
won't find me an old man. but a young 'un.
ready to give and take Just as much as any one
else. The duffer knows | am OIL the level. but
Just wants to roast me because he thinks he
has got tho public with him. Iposted 81. 900
In Frisco before l left to show Jcffries that
would not crawl but it has not been covered"
Are you better 2"
"Oh yes" said Sharkey. II took a lot OF
baths at Sulphur Springs where stopped for
few days and the pains in my arms and
shoulders have left me- Jeflries will find mo
different and much improved fighter than
when we faced each other year ago l have
learned some new tricks and will spring them
on him"
What do you think OF Joe Kennedy ?"
He is all right" said Tom, enthusiastically.
Il know all about him. for he was at one time
one Of my trainers. ! expect to have him and
Peter Jackson as sparring partners at my
quarters, Kennedy is a hard punchcr and
mighty clever but the other chap, Jim Jeffords,
will not do"
When asked Just where he preferred to have
the battle decided. Sharkey said it made little
| difference to him.

MEEkIN SOLD TO BOSTON.
Freedman Charged with Trying to Help
the Champions to Bcnt brooklyn.

1t was reported last night that the New
York Baseball Club has sold the release OF
Pitcher Jouett Meekin to the Boston Club for
about $1,000. As Soden. the Boston president.
holdsa block OF stock worth 100000 par value.
IN the New York Club. this move Is calculated to
act as another flow at syndicate ball" Those
who talked OF the deal with TIE Bun reporter
declared that Freedman has two motives in get
ting rid OF Meskin. One Is to reduce expenses
and incidentally make good some OF the clubs
losses with the money received for the players
release. The other is so to strengthen the
Bostons that they may he able to beat out the
Brooklyns for the championship.
Tho work OF the Brooklyns has been a
thorn in Freedman's side" said base ball
man last night, and he would be very happy
to see them beaten out. He and Soden are
friendly. and the sale OF Meekin can therefore
be well understood"
DMeekin came to the New York Club with
Charley Farrell In 1894. They were purchased
from the Washington club for $500. This 10
the first time on record that the New York Club
has INDUCED in the practice OF selling its star
players to other League clubs.
