New York. Nov, 4.—James J. Jef-|
fries is still the champion heavyweight'
pugilist of the world. After twenty
five rounds of fierce fighting between
the boilermaker and Thomas Sharkey'
.Inst night, Jeffries got the decision on
points, For a moment the crowd that:
thronged the C'on^y Island Sporting'
clubhouse could not believe that Ref
eree (ieorge Slier liad so decided, but
wheji it rc'alitied that the big boiler
makrr had won it went wild with de
light, for Jeffries was easily the favor
ite. He hud Sharkey very weak and
tired in the last round and was trying
hard to finish him when his left glove
came off. As the glove fell to the
floor he punched tlie sailor with his
right just ns the gon^ ended the ter
rific battle between the two greatest
giants that ever met in an American
prize fight. So fierce was the struggle
that Tom O'Uourke announced that
two of Sharkey's ribs were brplcen.
Sharkey was the aggressor from the
start. He opened up the fighting in
each round without ceremony and kept
Insisting on fighting every inch of the
way. Jeffries let him have his way
for the most part superbly defeiftling
himself, and ufter the sailor had tiled
himself out took the initiative and was
after his man hammer and tongs nt
the finish. He freshened at the last
and was strong and fast, while the sail
or had hard work to go the distance.
Jeffries wins, a fortune. The grtte is
very large, few vacant seats" appearing
in a house that sells out at something
over ¥100,000. Of this amount the
lighters get (!G 2-3 per cent 75 per cent
of (his goes to Jfeffries, 25 to Sharkey,
tjie loser.
.At' 0 48, after the close of the pre
JiiiiinliVv, Sharkey followed bv Jeffries,
entered the building, and the crowd
arose ns one man to yell for the giants.
Several miuutes elapsed before any
movement was made to get the men
Intd the ring, and the cro\yd showed
its iniL'Wience. It had not long to
wait,'Irowever, liut the glare from the
mut'ostope picture lights was bad and
proved to be doubly hard on the fight
ers.
In spite of'fhc'stOrjii^fhere was hard
ly a vacant in the enormous barn
when, on The sivqlt? of 10, Sharkey en
tered the ring. The Irish sailor was
greeted with wiUl cheers' long pro

the ring. After they broke, Sharkey
rushed in with a terrific left on the
body, but he missed on his next try
and got a left in the face. In the sixth
round,' Shnrkey was the qbicker, com
ing like a flash with hard left on the

ly cut. This was Sharkey's round.
The seventh was another round for
Sharkey.
In the eighth Jeff assumed the de

Round 15—Jeff catpe up very cap
tiously, crouching along the ropes, and.
the sailor cut out the work. Shankey

a left for the face, but Tom got, Inside
of the blow and swung his left twice
with fearful effect on Jeff's head and
face. Tom kept plugging away with
right and left, Jeff still acting on the
defensive. Jeff got in a good left on
the face, almost putting Sharkey to
the floor, but the latter sent back left
and right on face, Splitting Jeff's nose,
from which blood came in streams.
The sight of blood on Jeff's face .seem
ed to make a demon of Sharkey,who
fought fiercely, and rushed continually,
swinging left and right wildly,- while
Jeff planted well-directed left and right
jolts to the sailor's body. It was fierce
going when the bell rang.
In the sixteenth round they rushed
to a clinch twice without doing any
thing, and fought fiercely at close
quarters during the rounds.

swing for the head, but Jeff blocked
him. Then they got to close quarters
and clinched. After they broke Jeff

left-hand jabs hard to the. face. Jeff
clinched and Tom hooked his right to

on to Jeff's neck with his left arm,
dragging Jeff across the ring. They

from top of his head to the soles of his
feet. Jeff was more careful after this
add kept on defensive until end of
round, which was decidedly Sharkey's
on points, barring the hugging.
The nineteenth round was practically
without results.
In the twentieth round, Sharkey was
first and quickest to his feet, and
forced Jeff to a neutral corner.
In the twenty-first round there was.
little of special note. In the itweqtjr
second Sharkey .wabbled perceptibly .as
he went back to his corner. In the
twenty-third the men came together
with a rush in the center of the ring.
Sharkey clinched, and after the bell
rang sent his, right over the head, as
the referee was forcing them apart.
JeftlH Was Stronger at the End.

lightly to face. Sharkey tried his left,
but fell short arid received a right

What the Two Pugilists Are Doing
Today.
New York, Nov. 4.—(By Associated
Press.)—After the Sharkey mid Jef
fries bout was over last night, the pug
ilists were taken to separate Turkish
bath establishments. With two broken
ribs and a lame shoulder, Sharkey was
willing to be assisted in his movements.
While being rubbed down he said he
would have, put Jeffries out if he had
not wrenched his shoulder in the eigh
teenth round. Jeffries remained at the
bathing rooms until noon, when he set
out- for Philadelphia to visit relatives.
The. champion seemed anything but
pleased over the result of the fight. He
expected a much easier task. There
was a big lump on his cheek bone and
a slight abrasion on his forehead bc
ttvecn.the eyebrows, and the skin of his
nose was batlly lacerated. His left
arm, which he strained while he was
trnining, is now almost, useless. It
bothered him exceedingly during the
last round of the fight.

The enormous sales of wool at Bos

ing 25,368,700 pounds, at the three chief
markets for the week, are extremely
important. That not all is for con
sumption, as the trade iB naturally
tempted to believe, may be true, and
yet actual purchases by the 'mills of
half that quantity would imply extra
ordinary ^couragement respecting
thA demand for woolen goods.' The
prices have been generally advin^ced to

Prices of pig iron for early deliveries
are still advancing, but as a great part
of the demand has protected itself by
contraots running far into' next year,
inoluding purchases of 50,000' tons Bes
semer this week at $23.50, and as bil
lets are quoted at $39.50 for spot, but
$35 for next year, the market can be
interpreted several ways. Anthracite
pig is also quoted at $24.50 for early
delivery, and local coke at Chicago. But
no finished prodnots have advanced
during the last week, excepting refined
bars, which the eastern association has
put up $1 per ton. More weakueBs ap

as It no doubt Is, the country's
trade reached its highest mark in the
month of October. Prices certainly
show marked strength in view of the
proportions of earlier advances. Cooler
weather has been welcomed by the re
tail trade of the country and some
stimulus lias already been noted, alike
to dlstrj'butiou and to the confidence of
distributors.
In some lines of wholesale trade, no
tably dry goods, there has been some
quieting pf defnpnd, without, however,
any perceptlble effeot being exercised
upon values of- textiles, which, indeed,
are more firmly held than ever. It has,
indeed-, .been a .record period in. the
wQol trade,- sales at leading centers
having exceeded all records for the
week, and the strength alike of the raw
and-tbe manufactured material is most
marked.- Cotton goods are also strong,
partly, on .the extraordinary demand
and. partly because of the strength of
the raw material, imparted by small
receipts and growing confidence in ul
timate light yields.
The great.cereals have been rather
du&thlfi week, with, alight variation in
mm
mmm
price, and the markets appear to have
conjf to a standstill pending new de
developments. Some improvement is
noted in the ocean freight situation,
however,4the high rates, in fact, having
tended to bring jheir own cure.
In the iron and steel trade strength
of values is perhaps the most notable
feature, but activity has been transfer
red-from the finished branch of the
trade to the market for pig irom which
has been active at full prices. Reports
of re-exports of American Iron -from
Japan are confirmed. A heavy busi
ness was done in hardware during Oc
tober, relatively -the best reports com
ing from the west.
Other metals fail to show as much
strength copper nnd tin being consid
erably lower on »lie week.
In the lumber market demand varies
with the material and the market in*
volved, but, while pine lumber is quiet
er at Western centers, prices are firm
and intimations of a continuance of
these conditions or of further advances
are numerous.
