night at Industrial hall in what
was to be six round bout. God
dard, however, was clearly out

almost certain knockout by his
trainer, Jack Dougherty, throwing
up the sponge.
Sharkey. in q series Of terrific
rushes, had warmed things for the
veteran until defeat seemed TO be
due in the next blow, when Dough-
erty surrendered. Goddard was
still anxious to fight and made a
lunge at the sailor. The two mix
ed things up and after rapid ex-
changes Goddard slipped 10 the
floor and with Tom on top came
near rolling through the ropes.
More than 900 persons witnessed
the fight and Sharkey was given
an ovation as he took his corner
with Tom O'Rouke and Jack Fog
arity by his side.
