title against 'l‘om Sherkey in 25
rounds at Concy island November ii,
1399 in a bout that was not satis-
factory to either principal.
Both criticized Referee George
should have been disqualified. and
the loser picturing hmself the win-
ner on points.
So much speed wee developed
when Sharkey pulled the glove from
Joffries left hand that the referee
could not call a halt until several
blows had been exchanged with the
champion sans ono glove.
"No more picture machines for
me." was a pronouncement from
Jt-ffries after he had protested the
heat caused by the high-powered
Klieg lights throughout the bout.
,Sharkey was in superb physical
shape. Bo impressed was e writer of
tho period with tho‘ chailcnger’s
conditkn that he penned: "Had a
king's ransom or his own life been
the stake. Mr. Sharkcy could not
have eskcd to be better fitted for
