Jeffries was now on the aggressive but,
at signal from ORourke, Sharkey

times on Jim'S ear. Jeffries looked at
his seconds, winked knowingly, and
stepping in, ripped the right and left
to Toms body. They clinched. Tom

heavy enough to fell an OK but both
men went to the corners smiling,

quicker on his feet. They clinched
without landing and broke away

and was countered lightly on the chest.

terrific swing on the neck which stag
gered the big fellow. Sharkey never
let up for a moment in his attack and,
after landing his left, Jeffries ducked
Toms left swing for neck. The
latter, turning completely around,
landed backhand blow on Jeffries'
ear. 1t was pivot blow and Jeffries'
seconds yelled foul but Referee Siler
seemed not to hear them He did not
even caution Sharkey.

rush and tried left swing for the
head which barely missed Jeffries as
the latter side-stepped. Tom struck
the ropes In the clinch Tom swung
again and was again cautioned for

fries got left to the body twice. Tom
hooked the lett to the neck and jabbed
to the face. Jeffries shot right to the
ribs. Sharkey hooked a lei, to the
neck. Tom forced Jeffries to the ropes
and, with well directed left jab which
landed full on Jeffries' mouth, made
the Californian grunt audibly. Sharkey
out-fought his man in this round.

| tiously, crouching along the ropes, and
the sailor cut out the work Sharkey
bored in and swung the left to the chin
A moment later he sent home with
great force on the body. Jeffries tried
left for the face but Tom got inside
the blow and swung the left with fear
full effect on Jim's head and face. Tom
kept plugging away with right and
left, Jeffries still acting on the defen-
sive. Jeffries landed hard on the face,
almost putting Sharkey to the floor but
the latter sent back left and right on
the face, splitting Jeffries' nose, from
which the blood came in streams. The
sight of blood on Jeffries' face seemed
to make demon of Sharkey, who
fought fiercely and rushed continually,
swinging left and right wildly while
Jeffries planned well-directed left and
right jolts to the sailors body. 1t was
fierce going when the bell rang.
