CRY OF FAKE" RAISED,
San Francisco, July 26.-Now that the
Jeffrles- Establishments fight for worlds
championship Is over, the cry of Fake"
has been raised, though without justih-
ca ton in the opinion Of Referee Graney,
Geo. Siler and the great majority of
other sporting men who witnessed the
contest A communication sent TO
Mayor Schmitz before the fight, not to
be opened until after II was ended,
stated that the writer had been in
formed that Jeffries was to win in the
eighth round, which he did. The mayor
has stated that II the charge that the
contest was a arranged affair cam
not be disproved he will be compelled to
prohibit such exhibitions hereafter.
Referee Graney Gays: 81 think the
contest was legitimate. From refer
ee's standpoint the fight was as near
perfect as a fight could be. There We're
no fouls-not even a semblance Of
foul had to caution them once, but
this was not for anything that either
did to the other, but for their humping
into me. 1t was the greatest fight
ever saw, and doubt II there will ever
be another like IT,"
TALK Is RIDICULOUS.

the fight being a fake" said William

hard all the time and when got In the
double blow on him he was taken of
his guard After | had my eye cut
Delaney told me to start in finish him,
for fear that I would be blinded and
would be unable to keep on fighting"
Fitzslmmons Is equally emphatic in
his assertion that II was a hard fought,
legitimate battle.
Geo. Siler wrote OF the fight that
Bob Fitzsimmons, although beaten.
proved conolusiyely that he is or rather
WAS the greatest fighter that ever
stepped into an American prize ring"
NO SUSPICION.
The Chronicle this morning says:
