FIVE FEET FIVE, BUT
MIGHTY WITH HIS FISTS
Giant Sharkey Has No Terms for
McGee, Who Is Subdued by Two
Policemen.

Although he bears the name of the
great Sharkey, one time prince of prize
fighters Frank Sharkey 80 years old
who is more than six feet in height, today
is nursing n pair of black eyes as a re-
suit of Il bout with James McGee, Of
1862 Harlan street, last night. McGee is
only five feet five inches in height, but
this did not deter him from tackling
Sharkey and defying two heavy police
men who were sent from the Nineteenth
and oxford streets station TO stop the
encounter.
When the two policemen. Ralston and
Flemmng, arrived at the Harlan street
address, the scene of the bout McGee
defied them to put him under arrest, say
ing that he could defeat any "cop" in a
fair and square fight Whereupon he
proceeded TO prove his contention on
Ralston. Wrestling the latter's club from
him, MCGEE waved it defantly over his
head and dared the policemen to come
on. The latter accepted the challenge and
in q momnt had the fve-footer under ar
rest. Sharkey in the meanwhile was sent
to the jefferson Hospital where his eyes
were treated. This morning, Magistrate
Morris remarked that Sharkey had al
ready received sufficient punishment and
sent McGee to the county prison for five
days.

There will be happiness and sorrow in

1t is possible, too, that the conflict
across the sea will figure largely in the

much foreboding for greetings which

carrier to ring the bell or knock at the
door Of the homes in the Ghetto The
anxious ones there have been waiting
too long for the eve of the New Year
Those loved ones abroad who do not
write al any other time never forget to
send greetings today.
When the evening star makes its ap-
pcarance In the heavens tomorrow, thus
marking the beginning of the worship,
those who did not receive the customary
annual greeting will lift their eyes to-
ward heaven and invoke the divine Prov
idence to protect those who have sent
their last messages,
The POstUf1ce force is working over

loved Jewish grandfather or the oldest
member of the family blesses the rest

orthodox home throughout the world, At
the synagogue all will lneel in prayer,
giving thanks for gifts of the last year
and asking divine Sessing for the ensu-
ing year.
The observance Of the Jewish New Year
as holy season is commanded in two
passages Of the Five Books Of Moses, In
neither passage is there any specific COM
uand as 10 how the day is 10 be observed
beyond the injunctions TO blow the trum-
pet, 10 hold a holy convocation and TO
engage i'm no servile occupation. The day
is the first Of the seventh month or the
day Of the new moon of that month.
The new moon was observed as holy
season 10y the Jews Of old; the seventh
month was a particularly holy month, as
the seventh day was the holy day Of the
week The new moon Of the seventh
month was therefore invested with a
significance Of far holier import than the
other new moon days Of the year. The
Injunction to blow the trumpet on this
day was TO call the people to remem-
brance before the Lord. This ceremony
Of blowing the "sh0faT' became the cen-
tral figure Of the elaborate religious SER
vice conducted on the day.
II is the prevailing idea that on this
dav God weighs mems actions in the
scales of justice. New Years Day in
the passing of the centuries has thus
come to embody the great religious ideas

tonight in this city. His last resting
