HOW OIIII DECISION.
The Sharkey-Fitzsimmohs Fight Ex-
‘ cites San Francisco.

»GEN SURE FOR THE REFEREE.

Fitzsimmons Thinks ,He Was Robbed—An
Efl‘ort \Vlll Be Made to Stop the
Check For 810,000—Promlnent
Men's Opinions of the-Bout.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4.-——This city is to-
day talking of nothing but the decision by
which Bob Fitzsimmons was robbed of the
$10,000 purse in his ten round bout with
Tom Sharkey in the arena of the Athletic
club last night. Referee Wyatt Earp is
roundly censured, and it is said that legal
steps will be taken to prevent the payment
of the $10,000 purse to Sharkey. .

When Earp gave his decision that Fitz
had lost on an alleged foul, Sharkey lay on
the floor, knocked out, unconscious and
not able even to moan.

Earp held that Fitzsimmons struck the
sailor a foul blow. To the onlookers it
seemed as though Sharkey had received a
left hook and had been knocked out by the
concussion of his head on the ring floor.

The fight lasted almost eight rounds and
was one of the best ever seen in San Fran-
cisco.

President Groom of the National club
said that the club was taking legal advice

‘as to whether a certified check ' could be
stopped. If it could, he said, it would be,

I

TOM SHARKEY.

as he denounced the decision as an outrage.
Mr. Groom also declared that during the
fight he had repeatedly called to Earp about
Sharkey’s repeated foul blows.

Manager Julian and. Fitzsimmons pro-
test against what they say was a clean
steal of the decision.

There comes to the naval champion little
glory save that accorded a man who has
fought a good fight in the face of seeming
defeat. The foul blow by which he won,
if foul it was,>’camo in the nick Of time, for
it was apparent to spectators that even his
wonderful recuperative powers and ability
to‘ stand punishment could hardly save
him from defeat. Just how the naval
gladiator was put out is a question over
which there is a wide difference of opinion.

Fitzsimmons had him dazed and stag-
coring.

The Knockout Blow.

The Cornishman was seen to upper cut
his man, and Sharkey went down, rolled
over on his back and in vain attempted to
rise to a sitting posture. Some of Shar-
key’s friends who sat within a few feet of
the gladiators say Fitzsimmons raised his
knee with his arm, and that it was the
lower limb and not his fist that settled
Sharkey.“ '

They declare that the upper cut did not
get to Sharkey’s jaw, but because of the
Cornishman’s long reach and the proxim-

ity of, the men when he struck it landed.

belpw'the belt.

' Be that as it may, Sharkey had to be
carried from the ring, and when seen in
his dressing room immediately afterward
was rolling and writhing in great pain.
Sharkey has never been considered an ac-
tor. If he was playing a part last night,
he did it better than those who know the
cruiser Philadelphia’s ox - man - of - war’s
man believed him capable of. Ho acted as
a man who is in great distress, and those
who saw him after the battle are ready to
declare that he had been fouled.

The decision was received with dissatis-
faction by tho majority of the thousands
who gathered in Mechanics’ pavilion,
though four out Of five of the spectators
were yelling for Sharkey.

“I-t’s the greatest fight I ever saw,” said
Billy Jordan, who has been master of core—
monies at pugilistic carnivals in this city
from time immemorial. His declaration
was echoed by many of thosearound him.

Those who wagered on Fitbsimmons at
odds of 3 to 1 were loudest in their com-
plaints. .

Few bets will be paid on the fight today,
for bookmakers decided early this morn-
ing not to pay off unless they were com-
pelled to by legal process.

Adolph Spreckels, sonOf the sugar king,
met President Groom after the decision
was given out and declared himself in
strong terms. Shaking his fist in Groom’s
face, he shouted; '

“You and all the members of the club
are in with this steal. If this decision
stands, I’ll do all in my power to have
boxing stopped in San Francisco. The
decision was an outrage. It was fixed,
and you know it.”

A Threat That Means Something.

Groom denied being implicated in any
deal to award the fight to Sharkey and
voiced Spreckels’ sentiment as to the out-
rageous decision. As Spreckols is strong
in politics and his brother John is one of
the bosses here, his threat to stop prize
fighting if the decision was not changed is
no idle one and carries great weight.

Major McLaughlin, chairman of the Re-
publican committee, was with sprockels at
the time he made his charge of fraud to
President Groom and upheld the million-
aire in the stand he took. Both men were
greatly worked up and were very angry.

James , O’Neil, one of the biggest book-
makers Of the country, said he held $3,000
on the contest and that he would not pay
it under the circumstances. He said that
Fitzsimmons had earned the decision fair-
ly and that he would not give up to Shar-
key’s backers. ,

' After the fight» Earp forced his way
through the crowd and could not be found
by even his most intimate friends.

In the first round Sharkey-was the ag-
gressor. He landed on Fitz several times

during the round, but his blows were not .

as efiective as Fitz’s. Toward the end of
the round Sharkey grew overconfldent,
.7 end the Cornishman enticed him into leav-
ing an opening. Sharkey went down, and

 

 

3e hardly regained his feet before he was
floored again. ,
Up to the sixth round Fitz had gained
so decided advantage. He had all the best
if it so far as landing blows was concern-
ad, but after each sharp rally the heavily
muscled seaman seemed no nearer defeat-
than before. Sharkey resorted to frequent

:linches, invariably grappling low and '

:hrowing his arms aboutthe Cornishman’s
legs. '

On several occasions he struck his oppo-
nent in breaking. away. This had been
barred by stipulation, and Fitz repeatedly
protested to the referee. However, he had
not been harmed by the blows delivered at
alose quarters.

At the opening of the fourth round Shar-
key scored a knockdown by a body blow.
[n this he was assisted by Fitz slipping
slightly as Sharkey countered one of. his
leads.

When the gong sounded at the close of
the fifth round, the sailor was on the floor
under the ropes near his quarters. He had
been considerably punished during the pro«
:eding three minutes. When the round
was half finished, Fitz . caught him a ter-
rific right on the jaw. Sharkey rallied and
sent home two left jabs to the Cornish-
man’s chin.

Magnanlmous Fitzsimmons.

He rushed his man, but was stopped by
two hard drives on the neck and jaw.
Sharkey was rattled and fought wildly,
and Fitz sent home another left swing
which drove him to the ropes. A right on
the neck completed the sortie, and the
naval giant went down in a heap, groggy,
but still in the fight because of the friend-
ly gong. Fitz extended a hand to his fall-
en foc and assisted him to rise.

In the sixth Fitz forced the fighting and
attempted to send in a knockout blow. A
left swing caught Sharkey’s iron jaw, and
the right found lodgment on the opposite
side. Sharkey clinched to avoid punish-
ment. When they broke away, he swung
and caught a nasty l’eft hook in return.
The Cornishman landed repeatedly, and
the sailor’s returns were light, though he
was still full of fight. Fitz again had his
man going when the gong sounded.

The seventh round was all Fitz’s, and it
seemed the end was near. Sharkey clinched
to avoid repeated onslaughts, and his bull-
dog rage got beyond restraint in several of
those hugs when he attempted to strike in
a break away or wrestle while clinched.
Agaifi the sound of the gong saved him
from defeat. His right eye was almost
closed and bled throughout the round.

The close Of the seventh round found the
seaman staggering and uncertain in his
movements. He came up strong at the
beginning of the eighth and led viciously
for Fitz’s wind. A mix up followed, and
Sharkey stopped a pair of upper cuts. Fitz
kept up his onslaught on the seaman, who
was still fighting gamely. They came to-
gether again, and Fitz aimed an upper cut
with his left.

The men were at close quarters, and the
blow could not be seen from all sides, but
Sharkey fell,‘turned over and in vain at-
tempted to rise.

Howls went up as Sharkey, limp and
helpless, Was carried to his corner. When
the decision of the referee—that Fitzsim-
mons had fouled Sharkey by striking him
in the groin—was annountod, pandemoni-
um brare loose. Sharkey’s admirers cheer-
ed wildly, wiflle the thousands who favor-
ed Fitz rcsponded with groans and hisses.

Fitz Protests 1n the Ring.

Fitzsimmons advanced to the side of the
ring and raised his hands to restore quiet.
When he could be heard by at least a few of
those nearest to him, he shouted:

‘ ‘ The referee awards the fight to Sharkey
on a. foul. It’s not right. It’s a steal. ”

Six strong men bore Sharkeyfrom the
ring to his dressing room.’ Fitzsimmons
and Julian remained in the ring for some
minutes, arguing and gesticulating to

President Groom and the Officials of the

National club. Hundreds pressed forward
to shake his hand and express their opinion
that he had been willfully robbed of a vic-

’ tory justly earned.

Fitzsimmons made this statement after
the fight:

“I never struck Sharkey a foul blow
during the contest, but he struck me sev—
eral. One time it was a severe blow. I
complained to Earp, but all the satisfac-
tion I got was, ‘Go on and fight!’

“I was robbed out of the fight, and every
fair minded person will say the same
thing. I’m ready to fight him at any time.
In fact, I’ll fight him now—inside of ten
minutes. He is the foulest fighter and a
trickster. I can lick him in short order. ”

Martin Julian, Fitzsimmons’ manager,
had this to say:

‘ ‘ About 6 :30 Mose Guntz, Riley Grannan
and Tom Jones came to us and said that
Earp was ‘fixed,’ and that he would not
get the decision even though he knocked
Sharkey out. But rather than have the
fight fall through we consented to Earp.
And what has been the result? We have
been robbed.

“Fitzsimmons never struck a foul blow
during the fight, but Sharkey struck at
least 50. I intend to stop the payment of
the check if possible and will make a pro-
test to the club against its payment. ”

SPAlchTO III» WARNED.

Another Forecast of the Message of
President Cleveland. .

WAR MUST BE ENDED 'sooN.

It Is Possible That a Definite Date May
Be Fixed—Probability Tharp of Inter-
ference by the United States
and other Powers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—The purport of
what President Cleveland will say to con-
gress on the Cuban situation either in his
annual message to congress next week or
in a special message later has been defi-
nitcly learned today. He will deprecate the
granting of belligerent rights to the in-
surgents or the recognition of their inde-
pendence or any official act of sympathy
in their case.

But he is likely to point out how disas~
trons the conflict has already been to the
commerce of this country and the business
interests of many of its citizens, and he is
likely to express the opinion of the Amer-
ican people that this turmoil at their very
door be ended. '.

He will declare that he has already
warned Spain Of the strong public senti-
ment of the United States in respect to
Cuba, and will announce that Spain has
replied by giving assurances that the res
bellion shall be entirely suppressed within
a short time.

But the president does not rely entirely
upon Spanish promises. He will make it
very clear that he is willing to wait a rea-
sonable time, and that if the promise is
not kept he will then recommend thata
definite period of 30, 60 or 90 days shall
be fixed, at the expiration of which time
Spain may expect interference if there is
at that time any armed insurgent still un-
amenablc to Spanish authority. That in-
terference may be by the United States in
concert with other powers or by the United
States alone, but it will be certain, and of

such a character as to insure the restora-v

tion of peace on the island.
Following Grant’s Precedent.

In following this course of dealing with
the present Cuban trouble President Cleve-
land will practically echo the words of
General Grant when he intimated to Spain
that the ten years’ war in Cuba must
cease or the United States would be forced
to interfere. Spain accepted the warning
then and gave such promise of reforms to
the insurgents that they laid down their
arms.

It is evident that Spain expects this time
to be successful in making the threatened
interference of the United States unneces-.
sary, but she hopes to do it not by grant-
lng reforms, but by wielding the sword to

the extermination of the insurgents.

Senor do Lome, the Spanish minister

here, is fully aware of the course which.

President Cleveland has mapped out, and,
strange to relate, is reported to be satisfied
with the outlook. He can see nothing‘ but
victory for the Spanish arms in the near
future and is confident enough if) accept
the conditions which the United States is
disposed to impose upon his country.

What plan of interference President
Cleveland has in his mind in the event
that the United States finds itself called
upon to end the war has not yet been defi-
nitely determined. It is known that he
has several propositions before him, one of
which looks to the purchase of the.island
by the Cubans with money furnished by
Great Britain. on the guarantee of the
United States. If Spain could be induced
herself to suggest such a settlement, this
would be the preferred plan of the admin-
lstration.

Weyler Has Cornered Maceol

MADRID. Dec. 3.—-A dispatch from Ha-
vana says that General Weyler’s forces
have succeeded in surrounding the insur-
gents in the Pinar del Rio province, and
that the rebels are in a state of complete
confusion.

Advices to The Imparcial state that a.
number of skirmishes have taken place in
the Matanzas province, the apparent ob—
ject of the insurgents being to divert at-
tention from their operations in the Pinar
del Rio province.

The Imparcial has received dispatches
from private persons residing in the vicin-
ity of Havana, in which Offers are made to
:are for members of the Spanish forces in
the island who shall become disabled by
wounds or illness. '

Great anxiety is felt by the public h’ere
regarding the situation in Cuba, and per-
sistent rumorsof a cabinet crisis are in
circulation, which, despite ofiicial denials,
are constantly renewed.

Typhoid In Weyler's Camp.
HAVANA, Dec. 3.—Captain General Wey-
ler has encamped near Palacios. He has
telgraphed his congratulations to Colonel
Hernandez Velasco upon his promotion to
be brigadier general. Typhoid fever has
broken out at Los Palacios and, is spread-

.ng among the gathering there of country-

people and troops. The government is
sending an expert commission to inquire
into the conditions, and measures are be-
;ng taken to increase the house capacity of
the town and to improve the sanitary con-
ditions. The government will publish in
the official gazette tomorrow a decree re-
3alling the gold bank bills from circula-
tion and providing for the issue of silver
bills in accordance with: the scheme of
conversion already published.

England Means Business.

LONDON, Dec. 3. —-. The Manchester

foreign afi'airs, will make very strong reps
resentations to the Spanish government

at such foolishness t0°dflV and wonder
it was ever thought wisdom. The max-
im today is learn what the diseasevis
and apply the remedy which has proven
the most direct and radical. Special-
ties rule the day, and a single organ,
its disorders and how to cure it, is the
highest distinction in the medical pro-
fession. The kidneys are wonderfully
constructed. Do you know just-what
their functions are? They are the lab-
oratories of the body for the'RENOVA-
TING of the blood BEFORE‘ ITS
USE AGAIN. Bead that carefully.
Every pulsation Of the heart sends out
the blood to give life to the body.
When it picks up the poisons in its
course it goes tO- the kidneys to be
made new for use again. If the kidneys
are weak they cannot do the work,
and uric poison stamps out the life of
the blood. Dean’s Kidney Pills cor-
rect all disorders of the kidneys and
keep these laboratories true purifiers
of the blood. N orwalk people are fast
learning this. Read the following case:
Mrs. Joseph Whitley, residing at No.
51 Belden avenue, hasn’t had a. new set
of kidneys, she hardly needed that,
still she had to plumb up the old ones
as they had become clogged and as a
consequence she was a sufferer from
backache. Queer expression isn’t it,
plumb the kidneys; but it’s right.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are nature’s plumb-
ers and it was simply the working of
these little wonders on the kidneys that
done away the headache for Mrs. Whit-
ley. She says in brief:-—-"I got a box
of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Glendenning
& Oo.’s drug store and took them for
backache with satisfactory results. I
recommend them to my friends.”
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers. Price 50 cents. Mailed by
Foster-Milburn company, Buffalo, N. Y.
Sole agents for the United States.
Eczema in any part of the body is in-
stantly relieved and permanently cured
by Dean’s Ointment. the sovereign
remedy for all itchiness of the skin.
