tom SHARKEY ADDED NEW EPISODE TO
LIFE WHEN HE JOINED II M. c.

When Tom Sharkey Joined the Y.
NJ. C. A. he did something-he left
the sporting world aghast. The sur
prise was not that Sharkey was on
his way to France-Tom was always
a hghter-but that he was with the
Y. NJ C. A. Toms ways and the ways
of the Y. M. c. A. have always been
on two widely divergent paths.
Sharkey's career in the ring Is n
of the most colorful in the annals of
sport.
He was first known back in the
nineties as the heavyweight champion
of the navy. A husky fighting de-
mon, he crushed all his opponents by
sheer power.
1t was in 1895 thai sharkey sprang
into national fame. He was match
Francisco. Choynsky, one of the
greatest heavyweights OF tie time,
expected Sharkey to be a set-up, but
nevertheless trained carefully for
him.
Sharkey had no science. Choynsky
was n of the cleverest heavy
weights the ring had ever seen. Twice
Choynsky hit Sharkey so hard that
he fell through the ropes on the floor
outside. Twice Sharkey got to his
feet and scrambled back into the
ring. In the eighth round the sailor
battered Choynsky SO terribly hat he
seconds threw a towel into the ring
to save him from being knocked out.
In 1898 Sharkey gave Jim Jeffries
the hardest fight he ever had. For
twenty rounds the two pugs battered
themselves around the ring. The
fight was called a draw. During those
years Sharkey took on all the great
heavyweights. Corbett, Fitzsimmons,
Rubin. Kid Mccoy and Peter Maher.
Later Sharkey retired and bought
him a saloon in New York. Little
has been heard of him during the
last few years until he Joined the Y.

So essentially alike are the
purposes of Mrs. Ralph Smith,

OF Miss jeanette Rankin, first
