sHARKEY SPINS a TALE.
Tells of HIS Experience With a
Cripple Creek Mob.


Chicago, May 13.-Sailor Tom Sharl1ey
the heavy weight pugilist. blew into
town from Denver at $50 O'Clock Friday
night. His stay was limited to a couple
of hours, during which time he occupied
a box at the Orpheum Music hail, and
spoke words Of wisdom to a reporter.
The gallant tar appeared to be in the
best of health and spirits and boarded
a train for New York at IL o'clock.
Never felt better in my life" said
Sharkey, in response to numerous in
cuiries as to his physical condition Il
weigh 1856 pounds stripped. and it
wouldn't take me week to get into
shape for a fight. That fellow Russell
I licked in Denver a week or SO ago
was the biggest chap / ever put a glove
on He stands 6 feet 4 inches high and
fights at PA pounds Why. Jeffries is a
child alongside of him. But there was
nothing in it after / got a. couple Of
wallops at him. He clinched and wrest-
led me al the time, and threw me down
a couple Of times, until I got home a
few smashes to his wind, and then all
the fight went out Of him
THAT was a mighty rough deal they
gave me at Cripple Greek the other
night, though. / offered Mexican Pete
Everett $50 to go six rounds with me
and after had dropped him three times
in the second round he lay on the floor
and the crowd yelled foul The referee
was a big fellow named Sim Johnson
who doesn't know the first thing about
boxing, and as soon as he heard the
crowd yell he says, Everett wins on 4
foul and that was the finish. / didn' t
blame Johnson 50 much in one way. He
gave Everett the decision to save his
neck, for that gang would have lynch
ed him sure if he hadn't. They're nice
people to a stranger down in that coun-
try, I don't think.
I'd have stayed longer in Denver, on
" my mother is due to arrive in New
York from Ireland, and I want to be at
the dock to meet her She's 81 years old
and wouldn't know what to make of it
If I wasn't waiting for her when the
boat comes in.
I'll try to get on at the first show in
Chicago as soon as boxing opens here I
want to fight Rubin worst Of ALL but
don't believe Madden viii give me the
chance. I'll make any kind of a bet
they want that 1 can lick that Dutch
man. Haven't / got money to burn,
and isn't it money that talks?
IF Rubin won't fight, I'll take on
Jeffries or MaLher. I don't care about
fighting Mccoy; he's got too bad a name
as a fakir. And O'Rourke might as well
ring Off on that Walcott challenge I
wouldn't fight niger for 81. 100000

on earth could whip me. only I don t
want to mix with them. 1 left Bob
