New 4OTK, Aug. xJ.---WQ1ppeUlDDO1 In
sanibility IN less than two rounds is
the story in brief of Tom Sharkey's
meeting with Bob Htzsimmons at the
Coney Island Sporting club Friday
night. The brevity Of the fight proves.
that FYtzsimmons is still great fight
er and able to beat the best OF the
heavy weights. He has beaten Corbett,
Rnhlin and Sharkey.
When the men came together Shar-
key assumed the aggressive, rushing
fercely and swinging wildly. Ntzsim-
mons had no difficulty in sidestepping
out Of the way. Bob soon began feint-
ing Sharkey into leads, and when the
sailor tried his round arm blows he
left himself open, of which Fitzsim-
mons was quick to take advantage, as
he stepped inside and put powerful
right and left smashes on the sailors
body and neck. At the close of the
round Sharkey, with terrific left
swing which landed on the shoulder
and neck, put Ntzsdmmons down to the
floor of the ring and, Tom fell over him
in his mad rush. Tom regained his feet
quickly, but the bell rang with Nts-
simmons still on the floor. .&.s.ss.
In the second round Sharkey, having
gained confidence from his knocking
Ftzsimmons down in the preceding
round, went for his man as if to ann3hi-
late him, but Fitzsimmons, having the
cooler head and better judgment, out
generated the younger man, who seemed
to lose all control of himself in his
frantic endeavors to land on Fitzsim
mons. The battle was fierce, but Fitz-
simmons soon had his opponent in bad
shape through terrific blows. He lit
orally battered sharkey down with
rights on the body and let's and rights
on the head. Sharkey took the count
and came up groggy. He staggered
back to the ropes, with Fitzsimmons
hot after him: Sharkey was then uu-
able to protect himself, and Fitzsim-
mons sent that fearful right once more
to the body, following up with right and
left to the body. Sharkey wabbled, but
still had strength enough to keep ON
his feet. Ftzsimmons steppedin again
with another right to the body, follow
ing twice with rights and lefts on the
head, and finished his work and the
fight with stinging left hook on the
jaw which sent Sharkey down and out.

New York, Aug. H.-Fifteen min
utes after the Fitzsimmons-Sharke
fight Friday night, Fitzsdmmons, the
winner, returned to his home at Ber-
gen Beach and went to dance with
his wife. ~
Saturday morning he went for a
stroll along the board walk near his
home, followed by large crowd. He
showed no sign whatever of having
been engaged in a glove contest
FitZsimmons' comparatively easy
victories within two weeks over Rub
lin and Sharkey, both strong, heavy
men, has put the former Australian
in, position where he has right
to expect another contest with JEFF
fries, but 1t is not certain yet that he
will challenge the boilermaker at
present. Both men have theatrical
engagements to fill and are DESTROYS
of making what money they. can in
that way. The law permitting glove
contests in this state has been re:
pealed, to take effect September /.
and it is hardly likely that Eitzsim.
mons would be willing to enter the
ring before that date. Notwithstand-
ing his sensational performance in
disposing of two men heavier than
himself in two weeks, it is not be-
lieved that he would try to put out
a third, and that one the champion
and heaviest of all, within the month.
There was much comment among
ring followers Saturday over the fact
that Fitzsimmons knocked out Rubin
in six rounds and Sharkey in two,
while Jefries some time ago boxed q
20-round draw with Rubin and more
recently failed to stop Sharkey in IS,
although he was given the decision
! over the sailor. ~.s .s, ...-,T
