face gaunt and unshaven and his once
erect form stopped. His clothing was
filthy and his shoes SO broken that the
toes protruded. OF all the prisoners he
was the shabbiest and dirtiest.
Il had a good time at college, he said.

THIS LAST SEPARATION
Of o'Rourke and Sharkey Looks to Be
on the Square.

For the umptieth time Manager
O'RourAe and Sharlxey have split The
manager of the sailor was harsh in his
comments, and in plain Queens Eng
lish told Sharkey just what he thought
about his fighting ability. Since he
made such a desperate showing against
F1tz it IS probable the split is on the
level and not for advertising purposes.
The Brooklyn Eagle comments on the
affair thus:
The defeat of Tom Sharkey by Bob
F1tzsimmons at Coney Island Friday
night proved to the satisfaction OF the
followers of the ringside that he is I'M
questionably one of the greatest heavy
weights that ever stepped into the
ring For a man of his years he did
remarkably well, when he disposed of
the man from the coast in such order
me sailor admitted after his defeat
tnat EItz was one of the hardest hitters
that he ever went against, and further
than that was great deal cleverer

but it is not likely that he will be
heard from for some time to come. Tom
