KISSED OUT OF THE RING.
Sharkey-Maher Bouts ,Ffksled Out II
Third Raund.I


Tom Sharkey and Peter Maher, who
were heralded to fight SIX rounds before the
Industrial Athletic Club1of Philadelphia last
night for the championship Of Ireland were
stopped by Referee William Recap in the
middle Of the third round, after one of the
poorest exhibitions ever given in that city.
The men had been arrested early in the
evening and were bound over in 5000 to
keep the peace, and this dampened their
vigor and reduced the steamfof their blows.
There was not blowa struck which would
have rocked a featherWsights head. When
the bout had progressed for two and one
half rounds. amid incessant, ,eatcalls. Kisses
and yells of Take them off!';; and 'Fake!'
Referee Recap stepped to the side OF the
ring and said that he had been engaged to
referee contest. 7its
This is no contest" he concluded, and
the men took their corners and the contest
was over.
Both Sharkey and the president OF the
club attempted to address the angry crowd,
but neither was permitted to speak. The
spectators were worked UP to such a. pitch
that they broke chairs and benches in their
desire to get even" 1t was little satis-

WILDWOOD Case MAY
HAVE NEW FEATURES
Check for a Settlement of
Cost Not Presented.
Secretary Jackson Has Stopped Prose-
cution Of Sunday Liquor Selling
and Still Has Money.

Il IS probable that there will be fur
tier and very interesting developments
in the alleged "blackmailing" attempted
against Mr. c. Leland Jackson. secretary
Of the Wildwood Club.
According to the reports of the matter
David Rollins and Thomas Donohue. OF
this city. on August II charged Mr..
Jackson before John E Morrison. a JUS
tice OF the peace for Prince George
county Nd. with selling liquor on sun
day, August 10.
The warrant was sworn out by Mr..
Rollins, and few days afterward. it is
said, friend OF his visited Mr.. Jackson
and proposed that the matter could be
settled for a certain sum. as Mr.. Rollins
did not wish to prosecute the case any
further. An agreement was reached be-
tween Mr.. Jackson and his visitor BY
which the proceedings we're 10 be
dropped upon the payment of $50 by the
former.
Mr.. Jackson, however, would not con
sent to the payment Of this amount IN
I'll he was given documentary evidence
that the proceedings were nol-prossed
BY the justice of the peace. Mr.. c.
lowe, then presented the following let
ter;

Dear Sir: Mr.. D. Rollins has with
drawn the warrant against Mr.. C. I.e-
land Jackson. OF Wildwood. Prince
George county. Md
Very respectfully yours,
j E MORRISON.
Justice of the Peace.
While this was good evidence of the
abandonment Of the prosecution. it was
not entirely satisfactory and he de
manded that the original warrant sworn
to by Rollins should be withdrawn and
handed TO him. This was done and then
Mr. Jackson gave check for s54. the
amount agreed upon for the settlement
OF the prosecution. Mr. jackson then
consulted an attorney. a personal friend.
who advised him that he was not in
duty bound to pay the check Mr. jack
son then telephoned the bank upon
which the check was drawn and stopped
the payment Whether or not the payee
