The bout took place be fare the Coney Island Sporting club ud was wRneosed by C.000 people. When the men met, both of them declared themselves to be In first-class condition, and they certainly loakeJ it Fitziilmmons had taken on a few pounds in weight since bis meeting with Ruhlln, but neither he nor Sharkey would tell his actual weight, hut Sharkey looked to be about 20 pounds the heavier. When the men came together Sharkey assumed the aggressive, rushing fiercely and swinging Wildly. Fitz had no difficulty in sidestepping ouuof the way. Bob noon began feinting Sharkey into leads nt when the sailor tried his round arm blows he left himself opfn, of which Fltz was quick to take advantage, he stepped inside and put powerful right and left smashes on the sailor s body and neck. He stabbed Sbarkty with his left, making the sailor lose his temper; then Sharkey rushed mare wildly than before, missing mol of the swings, while Fits was getting to him with great force and using both hands. At the close of the round Sharkey, with a terrific left siring which landed 'on the shoulder and neck, put Fit down to the flojr of the ring and Tom fell over him In his mad rush. Turn regained his feet quickly, but the bcil raug with FitaalmnKms still on the floor. In the cecand rouad, Sharkey hav ing gained confidence from his knocking Fitzslmnions down in the preceding round, went for his man as If to annihilate him, but Fitz having the cooler and better judgment, outgener-alled the younger man, who seemed to lose all control of hlmseir in his frantic endeavors to land on Fltzslm-mons. Fitzslmmons stepped in with a crushing right to the body and a ready left to the jaw, while the best Sharkey could do was to swing a left which landed in the middle of Fltz s back. There was fearful force behind his blow, as Fitzslmmons said after the fight was over that he felt as (f he had been hit with p! kss In the small of the back. Fitzsimmoas' coolness never forsook him and he watch-, ed Sharkey's wild efforts with evident satisfaction, as the sailor was leaving himself very open. Fitzslmmons stepped into him and literally battered Sharkey down with right on the body and lefts and rights on the head. Sharkey took the count and came up groggy. He staggered back to the ropes with Fitz hot after him. Sharkey was then unable to protect himself, and Fitz sent that fearful right once more to the body, following tip with right and left to the body. Shir-key wabbled, but ttill had strength enough to keT) on bis feet. Fitzsim-mons stepped ia t?ain with another right on the body, following twice with rights and lefts on the head, and finished his work aad the fight with a stinging left book ua the jaw which sent Sharkey down snd ouL ' S; ; ' f : - v, 4 - ' . . .
