SHARKEY DODGES FITZ

Thomas Sharkey has practically ad
mitted that he has great respect for
the pugilistic prowess of Robert Jen
nihgs Fitzslmmons. The sailor has
passed ui> the Ooraishman and entered
Into an agreement to meet Charlie
Mitchell, the Briton, who gained fame
by getting as good as a draw from
the mighty Sullivan, at Chantllly, and
1. si prestige by being beaten to a
standstill by Jumes J. Corbett, at Jack-
Bnnville, Florida, in three rounds. Shar
k.-y is wise. He ought to defeat the
Englishman with ease- He might not
K^t out ot a battle with F'itsctimmons
alive. He has bad a taste of the
prowess of the man from Timaru, and
h° wants nn more of it. Tom ORourke
Is shrewd. He sees a fortune in Shar
key if he tan keen the sailor off the
reefs of defeat for a time. O'Rourke
knows how dangerous is Hob Fitz-
Blmmons, and he is only too willing that
th« public shall take a shy at his
s;: Herman as to his sincerity in his
talk about meeting the champion.
O'Rourke puts it plainly. Tie says:
"We are out for the money. We think
we can ?et it by defeating Mitchell,
nr.d we think we can beat him." He
Is evidently not so sanguine as to
what miT;ht be the result of a go be
tween Sharkey and Fitzsimmons, for
there would certainly bet more money
for the sailor could he defeat the Cor
nishman.
FITZ IS A TERROR-
Sharkey realizes that Fitzgimmons
Is the hardest proposition in the pugi
listic list. He has reason to remember
that he once met the auburn-haired
freak, and he is not over-anxious for
a repetition of what happened to him
that evening. That is the case in a
nutshell. There may be all sorts of
explanations of why the match was not
made, but the truth is contained in ths
above brief summing up of the situa
tion. Fity.simmons beat Sharkey to a
Rtandstill. in the San Francisco affair,
aid there is little doubt that he did it
fairly as well as thoroughly. Sharkey
l':!i! the battle won before he entered
the ring, and it is history that the
Fitzsimmons people were aware of the
fact. Fitz went into the ring with the
kriowiedge that in order to get the de
cision he must put Sharkey out, .which
he proceeded to do so effectually that
the sailor was bed-ridden for several
<i;!y.s after the encounter. True, Shar
key was given the decision on a foul,
but there are few who credit the story
that Phark<-y was entitled to the ver
dict en that or any other score. "With
an unbiased referee Sharkey would
doubless have lost. He knows Fitz
is a terror in the ring, and he is un
willing to Use all the glory he has won
from Corbett and McCoy by being de
feated by the Cornishman. He will
not admit it, bul the public will so
believe.
"WILY CHARLIE MITCHELL.
Charlie Mitchell is about the cleverest
money-maker in the pugilistic business.
He does not care for defeat. He will
maki every bit as much money either
way. He will have that so stipulated
in the bond with toe sailor when they
meet Mitchell had a few dollars on
Corbett when he was defeated at Jack
sonville- And it was perfectjy legiti
mate that he should. He explained
his action at the time most satisfac
torily. Said the Briton: "If I win I
can afford to lose my w.iger. Beating
Corbett will mean a fortune for me.
I will be the champion, and I can make
more money on the road than I could
in the ring. On the other hand, I
take no chances. If Corbett should
win I will have a bit of money any
way. 1 believe in being on the safe
side. I am not in the ring for glory.
That will not buy roast beef." Shar
key wili probably beat Mitchell. The
Englishman knows he has no more
than a chance to win. He is willing to
take that chance for the small end of
the purse and the possibility of making
1 few dollars on the side.
WILL INJURE SHARKEY.
Despite the cleverness of the sailor's
Inan.iger his dodging of Fitzsimmons
will have a bad effect upon Sharkey's
popularity in America. Excuses will
not sulfk-e. "What the American pub
lic demands is a fighter who will fight.
Sullivan was the popular idol because
he never dodged a battle. He was will
ing to make a match with any man
on any terms. Sharkey has made
capital" out of the profession that he
was a second Sullivan — that he intend
ed to take on all comers, and that
Fitzsimmons was the one man that he
was most anxious to meet. He could
have met the Cornishman and failed
to take advantage of the opportunity.
He must abide by the decision of the
American public, and that will be that
he has acted in bad faith, and has for
feited his right to dictate terms in the
future. There is scarcely a possibility
that Sharkey and Fitzsimmons will
ever meet in the ring now. The Cor
ni£hman has demonstrated his willing
ness to take on the sailor, and when
Harkey grows better and asks a
m. .tch the public will not Insist that
Fitzsimmons agree to it unlesß he is
perfectly willing to do so.
FITZ AND JEFFRIES.
Fitzsimmons and Jeffries have been
matched. They are to meet some time
between April 24 and the latter part
of May. The match will not attract
the attention that would have been
given a battle between Fitz and the
sailor, and yet there will be a big
purse and a big crowd to witness the
light, for Jeffries is entitled to some
consideration and Kitzsimmons and
any fairly good man would draw any
time. Jeffries has a decision over
Sharkey on his record. It was in a
twenty-round go in San Francisco, in
which the sailor was clearly bested.
That should be sufficient to quiet all
talk to the effect that Jeffries will be
too easy for Fitzsimmons. He was not
too easy for Sharkey. Jeffries receiv
ed a setback by taking on Bob Arm
strong at a time when he was in no
condition to do battle. There was
something wrong with one of his
hands, and he was compelled to fight
at that disadvantage. He had agreed
to stop Armstrong inside of ten
rounds, and he failed to do so. He Is
a young man, and is improving right
along. Jeffries is not a wonder, but
at that he may give Fitzsimmons a
busy evening to win.
CORBETT AND SHARKEY.
Corbett and Sharkey will not meet
in Chicago next month. Mayor Har
rison, of that city, has vetoed the
proposition. He says that he has rea
son to believe that the pro
posed match is not sincere,
and he will not countenance it.
Sol Van Pra-ag, a well known Chi
cago sporting man, who, together with
"Parson" Davies made the arrange
ment to bring the sailor and Corbett
together for a six-round bout in the
city by the lake, is angry because of
the decision announced by Mayor Har
rison, and it is said will ask the courts
to prevent all boxing in Chicago. He
will, it is said, begin with the aristo
cratic C. A. A., which gives frequent
boxing tournaments in its club rooms
Van Praaj? contends that if those out-
side that powerful organization are
prevented from furnishing sport of
that sort, then the fashionable club
must also be stopped. All of which
will probably" put a quietus on box
ing in Chicago.
DIXON AND PALMER.
Tom O'Rourke, manager of "Little
Chocolate," is willing to wager $5,000
that the colored wonder will defeat the
famous English feather when they
meet. Palmer is unquestionably the
best little man in the world, bar Dixon,
and there is doubt as to which is mas
ter. Palmer insists that the battle
Fhall occur in England. O'Rourke is
seeking to arrange to have the men
meet in America, and may succeed.
There would certainly be more money
in a match between Dixon and Painter
brought oft" in America than if they
meet in England. Dixon will not quib
ble, however, and will go abroad to
meet the Briton if he insists.
M'COY HAS PLANS.
"Kid" McCoy, w.ho was given a set
back by his defeat at the haiyis of Tom
Sharkey. is not on the retired list. The
Hcosier boxer has plans for the fu
ture. He will await the result of the
The Globe Goes Everywhere.
To The, St. Paul Glebe:
In your edition for Sunday, Feb. 5, 1899, you gave a picture
of the St. Paul Ball club of 1889.
The description accompanying the illustration was perfect,
except about "the kid on the fence." That kid on the fence hap
pens to be your humble servant, G. Walter Thompson, sow of
A. M. Thompson, and mascot of the club of that year.
I am not driving a street car or driving cattle, but am finish
ing high school and studying dramatic art. Hope to receive
praise from you in your dramatic column when I visit your city
as a full-fledged actor. I do "hope to be a great man some day,"
In that profession. Yours respectfully,
Pecatonica, 111., Feb. 7, 1899.
I big matches now on the list, and when
j the winner is known will come for
ward with the requisite backing and
ask another chance. McCoy is con
fident that he can yet win the cham
pionship, and there are many who are
in sympathy with his ideas on that
score. He will be given the desired op
portnnty sh.mld Fitzsimmons defeat
Jeffries, and Sharkey triumph over
JNiitoheli. A return match between
McCoy and Sharkey would be worth a
big purse, and a battle with Fitzsim
mons and McCoy as principals, at eith
er the heavy or middieweight limit,
would be still more acceptable to ring
patrons. — Willie Green.
RIVAL FOR THE LENOX.
Sew Athletic Club to Enter the
New J.istx.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.— The Westchester
Athletic club has been incorporated at Al
beny. The organization of this club has
been talked of for some time. Back of it
arc the mest powerful political influences in
Westchester county, together with some
"geed people" in New Ycrlt. Stock was is
sued to those Interested and the .club starts
off with a gcod treasury . account. It wiil
bid for the meetings between the big fellows.
A few diiys a?o the mangement o?. the club
was tendered to Sam Fitzpatrick, w : ho form
ally accepted. Fitzpatrick will also act as
matchmaker. His selection for these posi
tions is in itself an indication that the club
people are looking for the best talent. A
club house will be built large enough to seat
10,000 people The ground has already been
purchased by the club, and is a site less
than half an hour's ride from the Grand
Central depot. As incorporated the officers
stand as follows: President, John L. Allen,
of New Rochellc; secretary, James A. Hoon.
of Peekskill: treasurer. John J. Broderick. of
Yonkers: directors, Messrs. Allen. Hoon,
Broderick, James Green and Wm, Knox. In
Westchester county there are but two offi
cials who can interfere with boxing matches.
These are Sheriff John Molloy and Dlstrl't
Attorney George C. Andrews, both recently
elected to office. Sheriff Molloy said: "Per
sonally, I favor boxing and sparring matches,
nnd share with Gov. Roosevelt the opinion
that boxing is a good thing, especially for
young men. If the Westetirster ciub con
ducts its affairs under the provision of the
Horton law It will meet with no interfer
ence whatever from the sheriff."
District Attorney Andrews 'said: "There will
be no prize fighting in Westchester county
so long as I am in office. Personally I am
opposed to both prize fighting and boxing.
But we have a law that permits boxing when
carried on under certain restrictions. If the
Westchester club observes the law I have
no right to nor will I care to attempt to in
terfere with it in any way."
Those interested and Manager Fitzpatrick
bad a conference this afternoon, after which
Fitzpatrick said: "We will bid for a contest
between FitzElmmons and Jeffries, or a con
test between Fitzsimmons and Sharkey,
whichever way they may bo matched. I am
authorized to offer from $15,000 to J20.0«X)
for a match between Fitzsimmons and Jef
fries and am prepared to post forfeits equal
to that posted by any club."
"How about a match between Fitzsim
mons and Sharkey?' he was asked.
"We calculate such a match would ba
worth more money," said Fitzpatrick.

MERIT MAKES IT FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy In The World, Ex
cept a Surgical Operation, That
Will Certainly Cnre Any
Form of Pile*.
The study of physicians, the experi
ments of chemists, the loudly adver
tised pretentions of quacks, have been
for years expended in one direction
to find a pile cure that will cure.
The results have been a number of
harmless, and in most cases useless
ointments, suppositories and even in
ternal remedies, which" the public have
weighed In the balance of experience
and found wanting; nearly all of them
gave some relief, but nothing approach
ing a radical cure resulted from these
preparations.
The remedy required is one that im
mediately stops the pain so severe in
most cases of piles, and then by con
tracting the small blood vessels (capil
laries) to their normal size, produces
a radical cure by reducing and finally
absorbing the tumors and healing the
inflamed, raw mucous surfaces.
Until two years ago, no "such remedy
had been produced, but at that time a
suppository was placed upon the mar
ket, which has since proven Itself to
be the long sought permanent cure for
this common and distressing trouble;
It has rapidly become famous through
out the United States and Canada, and
is now sold by nearly all druggists un
der the name of the Pyramid Pile Cure.
It is now the best known, because its
merit and safety have advertised it
wherever used. It has been advertised
oy word of mouth, from one sufferer to
another; people who had tried every
thing else, even submitted to painful
and dangerous surgical operations
without avail, finally have found that
piles may be cured without pain and
without expense, practically, as the
Pyramid Pile Cure is sold for the nom
inal price of fifty cents and $1.00 per
package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all pain
and at the same time contain no co
caine, morphine or narcotics; the acids
and healing properties contained in the
remedy speedily remove, cause a
healthful, natural contraction and ab
sorption of tumors; It will cure any
form of rectal trouble except cancer
and advanced fistula, which, by the
way, nearly always result from ne
glecting proper and timely treatment
for piles'.
As above stated, can furnish you with
the Pyramid Pile Cure at 50 cents for
ordinary size or $1.00 for large package.

"1 am satisfied." declared Muckenfuss,

ing.
Jim Jeffries, the Callfornian, made quit*
a strong impression among tho Boston ad
mirers of pugilism, before whom he sparred
last week.
"Jeffries' style of boxing," says a Bos
tonian, "is very ea3y and not apt to tiro
him quickly in a contest. He assumes a.
crouching position, with head and body
bent forward, somewhat after the manner of
Kid McCoy. He can use both hands Well,
and his blows are delivered straight and
with force equal to that of Sharkey or Fltz
almmons. On lU feet he is very fast, and
he can get away from a punch neatly and
quickly. His favorite blows appear to be a
right-hand body punch and a left Jab, and
woe to the boxer on whom he Innds. His
brother Jack, who boxes with him, weighs
190 pounds, and Is quite a boxer. They put
up a rugged set-to, and the spectators
agreed that Jeffries should not be overlooked
by any man In the heavy weight division.
He will give a good account of himself in a
battle, and the man who makes him leave
the ring a loser can justly be called a cham
pion."
GARDNER FULL OF FIGHT.
la Willing to Meet Palmer, MeGov
ern or IHmii.
NEW YORK, Feb. 11.— Paddy Sullivan,
manager of Oscar Gacdner, the Omaha Kid,
feels confident that his man can beat Pedlar
Palmer, the wonderfully clever English fea
ther weight, and he is willing to back liim
against Palmer in a twenty or twenty-flve
round bout at 116 pounds for $2,500 a side.
Sullivan stated that it Is immaterial to him
where the fight is fought, whether it Is In
this country or in England. The Indications
are, however, that the National Sporting clus,
of London, will hang up r purse of $3,500 for
Palmer and Gardner to fight for come time
In April.
"I would like to meet McGovern at 115
pounds," Gardner said "or Palmer at 118.
120, 122 or any weight. I would also enjoy nn
other chance at George Dixon. especially as
my hands are now in fine shape."
Gardner within the next month will meet
Bernstein, Johnny Van Heest. Sam fiolen,
Martin Flaherty and one or two other
feather weights in limited round bouts. Ha
says he believes in keeping himself busy so
that he can set the money while it Is In shape.
OPPOSED TO FAKIRS.
Why Mayor Harrlnon Will Not Per
mit the Cofrbett-SharUey Go.
CHICAGO, Feb. 11.— "Corbett and Shar
key will not be allowed to fight In Chicago,"
said Mayor Harrison. "I believe that It would
be an exhibition which I would not permit
here. Another thing Is that these fellowß
would come here and Inflict a lot of word
sparring upon the public about what they
would or would not do to each other. I am
orpci>ed to all such business. Corbett and
Sharkey will not be permitted to give any
boxing, sparring or prize fighting contests
In Chicago. We had one fake here when
Yousouf and Evan Lewis wrestled, and the
people do not want another such exhibition."
The men had signed articles to fight fcix
rounds at the TattersaH'r boxing show, to bo
given by "Parson" Davles, on March 7. Sol
Van Praag. a State street saloonkeei>er, se
cured the permit for the show, and turned It
over to "Parson" Davles, who is said to have
persuaded O'Rourke, Sharkey and Corbett to
enter into the scheme with him. It was an
nounced that Corbett and Sharkey were to
be given $1,000 to box six rounds.
Davles is In New Orleans, and it Is not
known what he will do In the matter.
HALI ADALI WON.
Defeated Two Wrestlers In Boats at
Detroit.
DETROIT, Mich., Fefc. 11.— Hall Adali, the
Turkish wrestler, defeated Jack Comstock, the
Michigan giant, and John Leon, of Montreal,
at the Audtorium last night, throwing each
three times in 29 minutes and 24 seconds.
Leon, who weighs 220 pounds, made the beet
fthowlng. though he was fat and not in con
dition. Five of the bouts were Graeco-Ro
man and one catch-as-cateh-can. Comstock
tried hard to keeip away from the big fellow,
but failed, and was rolled over each time
with a hammer and half Nelson. Leon went
against the Turk at catch-as-ca-tch-can, but
lasted less than five minutes. In the final
bout at Gr?.eco-Roman style, Leon made p.n
effort to mix up, and though he got the Turk
as far as the mat, he was unable to pet any
hold or even budge him. Time of bouts: Corn
stock. 3 minutes, 4 minutes 20 seconds, 6 min
utes 12 seconds. Leon, 4 minutes 35 seconds,
4 minutes 12 seconds. 8 minutes 25 seconds.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11.— Kid McCoy
has arrived here, and will remain In South

has written to Brady, his manager, that he

"When a Chicago paper prints an interview

Slient Harry hag not been considered up to
the form of the Cleveland team in past years.
He is a very good fielder. ,and as a thrower
ranks with the best, but prior to last year
his batting was not flrst-rlass. Last 1 a^n
his hitting tcok a decided spurt. Still, he
Is not rated high." •

has made money every year by playing exhi
