SHARKEY
CONQUERS
GODDARD
A Clumsy and Awkward
Scrap Witnessed by Two
Thousand Sports,
THE HARRIER CHAMPIONS KICK.
He Did Not Want to Fight
Because the House Was
Too Small. '
BIT HE H\.ULY COJSECTED-
The Sailor Won the Slog in the Sixth
Round and Then Challenged
the Earth.
Sailor Tom Sharkey, the "pride of the
navy, " defeated Joe Goddard of Australia,
the "Barrier champion," in six rounds
last night, before the Knickerbocker Ath
letic Club, at the Mechanics' Pavilion.
There was a meager attendance, and the
fight was rather uninteresting.
When Goddard and Sharkey were
matched by the Knickerbocker Club to
fight a twenty-round contest in tbis city,
the sporting fraternity smiled a sickly
smile, and remarks concerning the Shar
key and Fitzsimmona mill were heard on
every corner of the streets where the
sports congregate to discuss turl and ring
events.
"Wonder if Sharkey imagines that we
have forgotten tbe Fitz contest? I sup
pose Sailor Tom stands in with Frohman
andHavman in their opinions as to San
Francisco being a jay town? Well, I
guess we are not as gullible as the sailor
imagines; he may bave a good house, but
I guess nit."
Expressions of this nature were many a
few weeks ago; but when Bob McArthur
was -elected by the club and the princi
pals to reieree tbe mill a shade of confi
dence was felt among those who patronize
the game. They felt tbat the contest
would be fought on the square.
\V hen tbe match was first made God
dard said be did not mind what the people
remarked regarding the fight being a fake.
He was here to fight on his merits, ami
would meet Sharkey in the ring on the
evening selected for the fight, and it did
not mane any difference to him what the
betting was or Avhat the size of the bouse
might be, owing to the announcements of
a hippodrome: that he would carry out
nis contract and fight Sliark'y, come
what might. Goddard's subsequent ac
tions in the ring belied these statements
that be made on arriving from tbe East.
Goddard and Sharkey entered the ring
almost simultaneously at 0:30 o'clock,
Sharkey was followed by his seconds, Tim
McGratb, Martin Murphy and Spider
Kelly. Goddard had behind him Teddy
Alexander, his manager, Henry Baker
and a namesake of Goddard.
As Goddard stepped thiough the ropes
he was cheered lustily. Sharkey was re
ceived with mingled cheers and hisses,
the latter being tbe loudest. Goddard's
age was apparent, and many remarks
were made upon the 8 imness of his build
for a heavy-weight, particularly of his
legs from the knees down. He was clad
in white trunks with a red and white
belt, while Sharkey wore green trunk and
the American flag for a belt.
Sharkey looked in the pink of condition.
His build was much heavier tban that of
bis opponent, but he was not so tall by a
couple of inches. Goddard showed a lit
tle superfluous fat about the stomach, and
appeared nervous.
When Referee Bob McArthur was pre
sented he was received with hearty cheers,
the crowd thus showing its appreciation
of the fairness of bis decision in the pre
liminary bout.
Before the fight of the evening com
menced challenges to the winner were as
thick about the ring as bees around a hive.
The announcer unfolded a telegram and
read to tbe audience the first one:
Have announcer state that should Goddard
win 1 will tight him. "Kid" McCoy.
Another dispatch from M. J. Connolly,
manager of Peter Maher, read:
"On behalf of Peter Maher I challenge
the winner of the contest between God
dard and Sharkey for the championship
01 the world, for a side bet and purse, be
fore the club offering the largest purse."
The announcer also stated that Young
Mitchell, acting for Peter Jackson, chal
lenged the winner or anybody else to
fight for the world's championship.
This last announcement suited the
crowd tbe best, as Jackson is quite popu
lar here. Responding to numerous calls
for a speech, Jackson arose from his seat
near the ringside and bowed his acknowl
edgments to the audience.
1' or a time it looked as i; tbe Goddard-
Sharkey fight would not come off on ac
count of Goddard. Tiie men had signed
to fight for a percentage of tbe gate re
ceipts, and the smallness of the house had
evidently caused a doubt to arise in the
Goddard maid as to whether it was worth
the while to don the mitts and go against
the athletic-looking young sailor, with the
prospects of a good licking, and very
small emoluments whether he won or
lost.
After the men had been in the ring some
moments Goddard asked for Manager
Abrahams of the c 1..-, and they field an
excited confab, the gist of which was that
Goddard wanted a guaranteed purse, and
Abrahams was firm in demanding that
he stick to bis contract and fight for what
the house would bring.
Goddard attempted to take off his
gloves, but could not, and bis seconds
urged him to tight anyway. Finally he
walked to the center ot the ring and ad
dressing the south gallery said :
"I am sorry to say that I am not going
to tight with the hou-e that is here to
night."
It he meant exactly hat he said it was
a wise declaration, as ii would have been
a 2000 to 1 shot. But what he intended
was that the gale receipts were too small
10 warrant the two-times vanquisher of
Joe Choynski from showing his skill in
the ring before such a small though mis
cellaneous gathering of sports.
"You are a coward," yelled some one in
the gallery in response to Goddard's
declaration.
"No, I am not a coward," responded
Goddard quickly. "I have never been a
coward," ne continued. "I came here to
light to-night."
Then he went back to his corner and
argued the proposition with his seconds
and Manager Abrahams. He offered to
go on for ten rounns instead of twenty, as
originally agreed, but the club said no —
all or. nothing, Then the crowd tried to
egg him on by calling "Coward," and he
winced under the insinuation.
A bright mind in the gallery proposed
three cheers for Sharkey, as another
means of urging Goddard to fight, and
they were given with a will. Thi3 was the
last straw, and Goddard consented to go
on. The men agreed not to hit in the
breakaway and the gong then sounded
for the first round.
In the first round Sharkey danced j
around Goddard and retreated from one j
corner of the ring to the other, feinting j
and dodging, finally swinging bis left and j
landing lightly on Goddard's breast. He |
followed up quickly by swinging his right i
on Goddard's neck, which brought God- j
dard to his knees. The crowd in the gal
lery cheered lustily for Sharkey.
Goddard, somewhat surprised at the
sudden attacK, came quickly to his feet
and backed toward his c >rner, and as j
Sharkey rushed at him the Barrier cham- ;
pion stopped him with a straight left
punch in the stomach. Sharkey then j
held on until the referee ordered them to j
break. Goddard then resumed the !
aggressive and Sharkey resorted to bis j
old tactics .if dancing around the ring, j
with Goddard in slow pursuit. The }
sailor landed left and right on tbe face, i
and Goddard, in the breakaway from a
clinch, lit Sharkey under the left ear, |
causing a red mark to appear. The crowd j
yelled at Goddard for hitting in the clinch. !
In the second round GcdJard moved j
from his comer like a good oldtime war
horse, catching Sharkey off his guard, '
and swung a hrrd right on the sailor's I
ribs, following it up and missing aright |
swing at Snarkey's head. The sailor !
ducked and butted Goddard in the fore- j
head as he came uu. The Barrier cham
pion appealed to the referee, but that olli
cial told him to go on.
Goddard again rushed at Sharkey in
hia stubborn way and swung left and
right very wildly. The sailor resorted to
his usual custom o! dancing around the
ring, and as he was cornered Goddard at
tempted to plant his right in the ribs, but
the sailor stopped the blow and clinched
to avoid punishment at close quarters.
When they faced each other again Snar
key knocked Goddard down with a clean
right-hand swing under the ear. This
was followed by several misses on both
sides, Goddard appearing somewhat dazed
by the blow he Bad just received. Stiai
key swung wild over Goddard's neck as
the gong sounded.
At the commencement of the third
Sharkev rushed in and landed his right
un the body and clinched. They both did
considerable fiddling, Goddard keeping
after his man, and Sharkey dancing up to -

him and away again. Goddard swung his
right hard on the body, and Sharkey
came back at him with right and left on
the face. Jumping away Sharkey slipped
to his knees, and Goddard hit at him
while he was down, an tin intentional
foul, for which he was hissed by tbe
crowd and warned by the referee.
Sharkey bit, then missed and slipped
to his knees at the opening of the fourr.li
round. Goddard was slow to lake any
advantage and fought like a good old
time has-been. The balance of this round
was given to wild swinging on both sides
without the least precision or judgment
shown by either man.
In the fifth Sharkey opened by swing
ing " his right and slipping asain. The
sailor fought wild and woolly. He
crowded Goldard to his corner and
punched him when the latter was leaning
against the ropes. Goddard showed signs
of hard distress.
After some wild swinging and very Door
judgment shown by both men Sharkev
moved close to Goddard, swinging his
right and hitting h; barrier champion a
heavy smash on the left of the jaw, God
dard falling lo tbe floor with Sharkey on
top of him. Goddard's head struck the
floor with a resounding thump which
could he heaid in' the gallery. Sharkey
jumped to his feet and was in the act of
rushing at Goddard when the referee
stepped in front of him and ordered him
to his corner.
In the meantime Goddard struggled to
bis feel, after being down seven seconds,
and as Sharkey rushed at him again, like
a bull's mad rush at a red flag, God iard
fell again against a post, and as he at
tempted to rise, afier being down about
four seconds, the referee motioned io him
with his hand that the fight was over and
Mr. Sharkey had won the long end of the
purse.
As Sharkey realized he had been de
clared the winner he rushed to the side of
the ring and, raising his hands high in
the air until the excited crowd had quieted
down a little, yelled :
"Gentlemen, I never yet got what is due
me. Now, I will tight any man in the
world for $10,0 0 and the world's cham
pionship.'* And the crowd cheered him
to the echo.
With few exceptions the sports who
witnessed the tight expected to see
Sharkey returned the winner. Taking
into consideration Goddard's age, 36, and
the betting, it was a foregone conclusion
that the sailor ought to win. rt The betting
was 10 to 6 in favor of Sharkey, with very
little Goddard money. In the mutuals
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1897.
! 567 tickets were played on Sharkey to win
lin from six to nine rounds. This was by*
■ far the large-it play in the mutuals and it
| looked as if some of the wise ones hit it
! right. The mutuals will pay a little over
I five dollars to one.
Taken as a whole the fight was a
j clumsy affair and did not by any means
| give general satisfaction.
Tom O'ltourke deposited lust night with
Charley Asher at the Baldwin Hotel
$1000 that -darkey could not stop Joe
Walcott in twenty rounds at catch
we gtits. O'ltourke is prepared *o make
a side bet with Sharkey, if necessary, if
the sailor accepts this challenge.
The preliminary event was between Joe
Kennedy of this city and Tom Lansing of
Louisville, "Kid" McCoy's former spar
ring partner.
Kennedy weighed 190 pounds and
Lansing about 167, but what the latter
lacked in weight he made up in lightness
of foot. Kennedy was as slow in his
movements as the workmen on the new
Hall of Justice.
In the first and second rounds neither
did any effective work. Both showed lack
of training, being badly winded at the
close of the second.
In the third Kennedy landed twice on
the face with straight lefts. These seemed
to liven up Lansing, who swung his right
hard several times on his opponent's body.
Lansing received a hard jolt on the face
in the beginning of the fourth, and they
exchanged a few stiff blows at close range.
Landing then landed three straight lefts
on Kennedy's face in quick succession
and a terrific right swing on the jaw. He
was much the cleverer of the two and
avoided many vicious but harmless
swings.
In the fifth Lansing put in a straight
leu hard on the face and two stiff right
hand .-wings on the neck, following up
with a left swing on the face. Kennedy
fought foully, wrestling in the clinches
1 and trying to choke Lam-ing.
Kennedy continued his foul tactics in
, the sixth, despite the admonitions of Ref
eree "Bob" Mc Arthur, who finally stopped
, the bout and awarded it to Lansing on a
foul, amid the cheers of the audience.
Lansing would probably have won any
way on point-:.
_ Immediately after the preliminary, Joe
King, the local middle-weight, stated to
tue sporting editor of The Call that he
would fight Lansing at tne middle-weight
limit of loti pounds for a side bet of $1000
before the -.lib offering the largest purse.
Tbeannouncer stated that the next fight
before thn Knickerbocker Club would be
between Eldie Connolly of St. John, New
Brunswick, and Dal Hawkins of San
Francisco, at 133 pounds, for the light
weight championship of tbe Pacific Coast*

If the Merchants Kefuse to Take

Another scandal over the manner in
which the city is gouged on materials fur
nished its institutions by contract and
otherwise has been developed by Dr. Rot-
tanzi, chairman of the Health and Police
Committee of the Board of Supervisors.
He claims to have discovered that the
drugeists who supply the drugs for the
Receiving Hospital and the Branch
County Jails are overcharging the city at
the rate of nearly $100 per month on bills
that do not[aggregate much over $200 per
month.
Being a druggist himself, and familiar
with the prices wares of this kind can be
purchased lor, Dr. Rottanzi took a notion
J a few days ago to look into tbe bills of his
committee instead of having the matter
attended to by the regular export of the
committee. What he found astonished
him, and he at once began a rigid exami
nation to ascertain the exact extent of
the overcharges that are eating up the ap
propriation for the drugs for public insti
tutions.
Comparing the charges In the bill as
rendered to the Board of Supervisors and
those rendered to himself, lie figured that
during the past, four months that is to
say, July, August, September and Octo
ber—the city had been asked to p:iy $931
for drugs that should have been lur

bills should bave been $54 70 and $9 46.
"I shall cut those bills down to what I
know to be a correct figure," said Dr. Rot
tanzi 'yesterday, "and if the druggists
don't like that they can sue the city. The
city should not be made to pay any more
for what it is compelled to buy than any
one else, and it will not if I can avoid it.''
In some instances the overcharge has
amounted to over 50 per cent where the
item was 'small and most calculated to j
escape notice. |
MRS. BARNES LAID TO REST
A Large Attendance of Distinguished

The funeral services of Mrs. Mary M.
Barnes, the wife of General W. H. L.
Barnes and the mother of District At
torney William S. Barnes-, were held yes
terday morning in St. Luke's Episcopal
Church, corner of Van Ness avenue and
Clay street.
Rev. W. H. Moreland, rector of the
church, conducted the services, assisted
by Rev. W. C. Shaw. Wallace Sabin
officiated at the organ and. a surpliced
choir sang the hymns. "Chopin's
Funeral March" was played as the cor

Judge Hunt, Sidney M. Smith, A. G.
Hawes and H. E Dodge acted as honorary

was in the 0 id Fellows' Cemetery.
THE KLONDIKE TAX.
Greed of the Dominion Government Is
a Surprise 'to Mining
Men.
11. E. brown of London, a mining en
gineer, is at the Palace Hotel. He was
in South Africa at .he time of the Jami
son raid and became so familiar with
operations in that quarter that his judg
ment of affairs was accepted in London as
an opinion to be valued.
Mr. Brown expects that there will be
an immense rush to the Northwest
Territory next season. Rich discoveries
of precious metal are in bis opinion sure
to be the outcome of the extensive pros
pecting. Still he fancies lhat if 200.000
people go into that region of country next
season 195,000 will come out broke.
Mining regulations in South Africa are
easy In comparison with the tax imposed
on Klondike miners. In the former
country a man can mine at his will if he
pays a small polltax and a light fee for
registration. In the Northwest Territory
tbe authorities demand that the minei
shall surrender half of the mineral
ground discovered to tbe Government and
in addition to pay a percentage tax on all
the gold he takes out.
Mr. Brown arrived from Victoria yester
day.
CAPTAIN EDGAR'S CONTEMPT.
The Sup' pine Court Looking Into the
I. ban I xecut ion .Matter.
The State Supreme Court in bank took
up the Igar-Torrence contempt matter
yesterday, and after hearing all the facti
in the case promised a decision very soon.
The trouble was caused by the failure of
the acting warden at the State prison at
San Quentin to execute Joseph Japheth
Ebanks, the San Diego murderer, on
October 8, as directed by the order of exe
cution of Judge Torrence. Ebanks* crime
was the murder of Harriet Stiles.
On the day set for his execution his at
' torney appealed to the federal court for
a writ of habeas corpus. The petition was
denied by Judge de Haven, who, how
ever, permitted the attorney to appeal to
lhe United States Supreme Court. This
was what caused the* stay of execution
which tot the acting warden into trouble,
for in the face of tbe appeal he did not
dare to hang the man.
This aroused the dignity of the San Die
go Judge, who at once cited Captain Ed
gar to show cause why he should not be
punished for contempt. He was not sat
isfied with Edgar's excuse about the stay |
of proceedings and he imposed a fine of
$200, which was not and is not paid. Cap
tain Edgar was arrested by Sheriff Jen
nings of San Diego County and he applied
for a writ of habeas corpus, which was
heard yesterday. His contention was that
under section 766 R. S. of the United
States there was a stay of proceedings
which he was obliged to obey, as it was
mandatory. Judge Torrence's contention
was hat the appeal to the United States
Supreme Court was not a stay of proceed
ings and that the State court had full
jurisdiction under the constitution. The
Supreme Justices will decide soon who is
right.

FOR STABBING A PEIEST.
A Chinese Suspected of Being* Chow
Kung Sang's Assailant In Prison.
Detective Edward Gibson has run down
and now has confined in the tanks of the
City Prison a vicious appearing Chinese
whom he believes stabbed almost to death
Chow Rung Sang, the Chinese priett, in a
Stockton-street jossbouse a few days ago.
The detective found the work of ferreting
out the would-be murderer a hard one,
but he believes be will be able to wind a
chain of evidence about his prisoner that
will be exceedingly hard to break. Much
satisfaction is expressed over the arrest of
the suspect, as itis believed that had the
Chinese been able to locate him and prove
after their way of "legal procedure" that
lie was the would-be assassin his days
would have been numbered and no legal
han email's noose would have let slip his
soul from his body.
