SPORTING NEWS Happenings of the Ring, the Track and the Diamond. "SAILOR TOM" SHARKEY KNOCKED OUT FRED RUSSELL IN FOUR ROUNDS. Rough and Tumble Go Devoid of All Science—Russell as Usual Loses His Head and Hisses a Chance to Put Sharkey Out. (Special to Inter Mountain.) Denver, May 4.—In the fourth round of what was scheduled to have been a 10-round go, "Sailor Tom" Sharkey last night put out "Big Fred" Russell, the j California heavy-weight, at the Colorado j Athletic club. It was a rough- and-tum- ! l>le affair throughout, utterly devoid ot science, and characterized by anything but what represented a first-class legiti mate light. There was much clinching I in evidence, and it looked as though either man might win at any time by landing a wild swing. Ugly rumors which had been circu lated before the fight gained such cre dence that Referee Cullen announced, .When the men entered the ring, that ail bets were off. Rumor had it that a ''deal" was on between the fighters, aad Cullen stated that both he and Manager Ploto of the club had decided that in fairness to the patrons of the club and for the protection of the club, it was best to decide the affair no contest. Cullen added that he and Floto were satisfied that there was no "deal" on, but In view of the ugly rumors had no other course than to take the action de cided on. When Sharkey and Russell steppe! into the ring the audience taxed the ca pacity of the club house. Sharkey was a prime favorite up to the sound of the gong, at odds of 2!« to 1. with a liberal amount of Russell money in evidence. Both men were weighed at 6 o'clock, an unofficial announcement giving the weights at 192 pounds for Sharkey and 205 for Russell. In the first round there was very little leading by either. They clinched and fought widlly, and the referee had the greatest difficulty in separating them. In the succeeding round Russell endeav ored to throw Sharkey to the floor by main strength, and succeeded in doing so several times. Sharkey Was Groggy. In the third round Russell landed some good body blows, which seemed to knock the breath out of the sailor. He was groggy at the end of the round, and if Russell had bored in he might have won the fight at this period. In the fourth round both men, after having been cautioned by the referee that they must fight and not wrestle, started out to obey his instructions. It was not long, however, until they were clinching and holding and hanging on to each other, with the referee earn estly imploring them to fight fair. Shar key broke away from a clinch, and as he did so landed right and left swings on Russell's jaw, putting him down, and, as Russell arose, Sharkey sent in the fin ishing punch, a half right swing in the ear. j : I j I I : I j j i 1 ; j i j !

I TOM JENKIN S AND NOUROtJLAH They Will Wrestle at Hadison Square Garden in New York Tuesday Night. An inventive mind tirelessly directing tiger-like agility and strength may bring Tom Jenkins off winner of the wrestling match with the elephantine Nouroulah in Madison Square Garden, New York. Tuesday. Ry his recent defeat of Ernest Roeber in St. Louis, the Cleveland man at the age of twenty-seven is now champion of America. During the last five years in which he has wrestled for a living he has suffered defeat only once. That was at the hands of Yousouf, the orig- j inai "Terrible Turk," who. outweighing ! him by 150 pounds, after a struggle of | an hour and a half, brought his should- j ers to the mat. Jeinkins is a thinker. His many vie tories have been due mainly to brains, | not brawn. While he has a splendid | muscular development, it waits on the j keen intelligence, that is quick to create opportunities for its use. when it does not find them. He has invented many new holds, and when he gets a chance to use one it is usually effective. Of these the most striking is his double-arm bar, which has the effect of causing a terrible strain simultaneously on the back and chest muscles of his opponent. Seizing an opportunity, his tight arm shoots across the back of itis victim, engaging both arms at the elbow, much as one would hurriedly throw the latch of a door. Then bracing his right foot firmly on the back of the antagonist's left knee, he exerts a terrific strain in three direc tions. Fast in the leek, the arms are crushed together until the meeting shoulder blades hurl up the dorsal muscles like j choppy seas, while at the same time the : backward strain is tearing away at the I cliest muscles like a man trying to bleak an apple in two pieces, j While the opponent is trying to dif ferentiate these two sensations and wriggle into safety, Jenkin's right foot and leg are busy forcing out his founda I tinn and his entire weight is thrown in I to crush the enemy to the mat. Xouroulah will have a great advantage in weight over Jenkins, but the latter's : ability to wriggle eel-like out of tigut I situations and to become the aggressor j immediately will give the big Turk all he can do to protect himself against an unexpected defeat.
