And there's one thing about Tom;
he's not in the business Of giving any
money away II you want to make
Sharkey an enemy for life try to
touch him. Tom IS all wrapped up in
money-making-
Nothing short of a dredging ma
chine could draw \, dollar from Thorn
as. A derrick would turn penny i'm
Toms strong box. He's a mOley-iOver
for true Sharkey has a fine place in
New York 1t is swell stand and
the money just pOurs in on him.
Tom takes great pride in showing
the grandeurs of his thirst place and
is now a swell dresser Tom has q
couple of Jumps of ice in his shirt
front that would not be very becom-
ing outside of the tenderlOin, but you
can RELY on Thomas for displaying
these fuels to all his customers. If
necessary, Shar6ey can tell you the.
breeding of his diamonds and snow
you that they are closely related ID
the KOhinOOr. He l. always lingering
his jules and talking about them
II had to laugh when SEarkey MAS
explaining TO a couple of Broadway
sweIs that his pieces Of ice were fam
iIy heirlOOms, and the smallest dla-
mond that the Sharkeys of Ireland
ever owned.
| But TO be frank" continued Ryan,
| Z believe that Sharkey is the wealth
/ lest pugilist alive today He is prop
ably worth $4,000
Jim Corhe-t made more money than
any Other fighter. but Jim was al
ways generous, and 1t was as hard Tor
him 10 say no to a friend as II IS Tor
| Tom Sharkey TO say yes
Jim Corbett Money Maker.
/ "Corbett made a fortune in his fight
! ing career. He always fought for big
| purses and his show business always
/ paid him handsomely. But Jim had
( elaborate tastes and graufed them
Him was the most versatile or all
/ the fighters. He had a splendid mind
/ and his success on the stage IS no sur
! prise to me at all
/ "Jim Jeffries, the present champion,
/ is not worth over $4,000
/ Robert FitzSiumOns has nothlng-
He's broke That's dead straight.
! Ruby Robert was a soft one tor the
/ bie nitt men. Whenever the wise ones
/ cot ready 70 slide a silded Oblong 10
anyone they generally elected ROBERT
/ TO be the victim That famous nasco
/ ar New ORLEANS and his later episode
/ with Sharkey and Wyatt carp are
/ some of the reasons that FitzSlmmons
/ hasn't any money
/ ''That Jimmy Britt of yours must
have money" continued Tommy He,
/ | should judge. is worth $4,000 or $50
900.
..Poor little Terry McGOvern IS
broke. This wonderful little ngII I,-
nothing now And he was good hght-
er and a good boy
Il guess you amt slipped all your n.
have YOU. Tommy" Quer-ed Colonel
Brady.
..TaEe it from me, colonel" resumed
RYAN. I amt very fat, but there was
I a knowing smile on TOmmys lace
showing that he had more than ne
cared to tell the world about That
ended the conversation about the
wealth of various pugilists and drove
Tommy onto a different tack.
RYAN Roasts Hart.
"Whaddu think of that Hart?' asked
RYAN. Hes a mutt" was the uni
versaI chorus. well, should say he
is a mutt" continued Ryan IN tell
You that fellow viii never learn TO
f,rb+ as long as he lives. He couldn
hit a barn door with a blunderbuss-
This boy Burns made him look like
/ sucker. He hit him whenever he want
ed to. and all Hart could do was 10
founder about like big whale
Nov. after letting Burns walop
him. he is making the big boiler for
sympathy Any time a lighter COM
rnences TO open his yaWp about being
robbed YOU can put him down as De
ing a dub This Hart was meant for
barber, not q pugilist- He's as awk-
ward as an unbrOken calf and I looked
for him TO slam himself in the ey
once or twice when he commenced TO
founder around with the gloves Say,
he fights just like a washerwomap- Not
a bit more style or finish to his work
