CURRENT SPORTING NOTES SAN FRANCISCO, December %.—Wyatt the referee in the Sharkey-Fitzsim- takes a philosophical view of the isms that are being heaped upon him ion Wednesday night, and says r time to set him right with the publi “If I had any fears that I erred in my de- cision, they would have disappeared when I saw Sharkey today,” said he last night. “Sharkey did not strike a foul blow, to my mind. At the break he struck Fitzsim- mons as soon as his arm was free, but that is following Queensbury rules. It is true that it was ag! that there was to be no fighting at the break, but my instruci.ons from the club were not to be technical, but to give the audience a good fight for their money I have one regret about the whole mat- ter, and that is that I did not leave the ring when Julan objected to me. I thought of doing it, but it occurred to me that it would be showing the yellow to do that; T would be quitting under fire, and | made up my mind to stay until ordered off h the club, Lam sorry that I acted as rete! at all. The only inconvenience Fitzsimmons is suffering 2s a result of his meeting with the sa‘lor is a painful swelling of the joints of the han “I have nothi tion,” he said, inty what we 1 that is the were in more to in explana- pt we Know for a cer- surmised yesterday, of the Nat with Lynch on mem this deal and rarkey to rob us, and what is more, we re going to prove it in court Had it not been that Tw. hands 3 = possible Ss saving my I would have yout int ‘ond round, “His shard as a bullet, and T must have landed on him there fully ferty times.

The mystery of Skarke ner njury has not yet heen s! actorily soived, and it is in- timated that Sharkey submitt-i to an oy eration for the purpose of manufacturing evidence necessary to oack up the cl ef foul. Certain tt is th hen & Was taken to his room at the W Hotel no one was allowed to even s to him until a doctor had worked on When this doctor commence! his e ination of Sharkey the portieres were closely drawn across the bed room door and pinned so that no one could see in. A few minutes later, after some low talk was heard, Sharkey began to groan as if in pain. Many believe that the “injury” Sharkey received was given him at. this ume. One of the physicians who examined Sharkey stated to the Assoclated Presa that in his opinion Sharkey was not so seriously hurt as he pretended and that the marks exhibited might have been caused ctherwise than by a blow. TALK OF THR + PORT: Opinion Divided Regard leged Foul. San Francisco is divided as to the result of the Fitzsimmons-Sharkey fight, which continues to be the tovle of the hour. No one questions that Fitzsimmons had the fight practically won in the eighth round, and many assert that he was unjustly de- prived of the decision. Sharkey'’s friends vehemently assert that he was knocked out by a foul blow, and was consequently, un- der the rules, entitled to the honors of vic- ng the Al- tory, including the purse of $10,000. A third class base thefr opinions solely upon the reperts of the physictans in attend- ance upon Sharkey. The doctors point to the swollen and discolored condition of the sailor's skin in the region of the groin as evidence of a foul blow, and some ardent Fitzsimmons advocates reply that this con- dition was purposely cauzed by an Injection of a drug immediately after the fight. Several physicians and newspaper men were present in Sharkey’s room yesterday afternoon when an examination of his in- juries was made. All said they were con- Vinced that Sharkey’s condition was the result of a foul blow. Many prominent men, hewever, condemn the decision and refuse to believe that there was any foul- ing. Such men as Police Commissioner Gunst, Riley Grannan, Major Frank Mc- Laughlin, who was chairman of the repub- ican state central committee, and others believe that Fitzsimmons should have re- eived the decision. It is pointed out that the whole affair has disagreeable look. The facts are cited a that Lynch, Sharkey’s backer, refused to consider the name of any one as referee, declined every man suggested by Julian and refused to suggest any man himself, leay- ing the selection with the few individuals comprising the National Club. As soon as the club announced its choice of Wyatt Earp, famous as a horseman from Arizona, but not a ring expert, the odds, which had been ten to four against Sharkey, unac- countably rose to ten to six, with more Sharkey money offered than could be well handled. It is recounted that there were whispers that Sharkey would be favored in the decision, and these rumors reaching Fitzsimmons’ ears, he requested the club to substitute any one else as referee. Even at the ring side, when both Julian and Fitzsimmons stated, in Earp's pres- ence, that they had been told he if tended to referee unfairly, Earp stood quietly by and Insisted on actlug as referee, despite the protests. It Is pointed out that Fitzsimmons fought a clean, skillful, scientific and winning battle, while Sharkey’s fighting was rough and unfair. For his unfairness jt 1s charg- ed that Sharkey was not even #eproved by tie referee. It 1s claimed that the upper cut on Sharkey’s chin in the eighth round was really a knock-out blow, and that no foul blow was delivered by Fitzsimmons, but that Sharkey, when knocked out, al: leged the foul blow as an excuse. All these constitute the case of Fitzsimmons by which his attoineys expect to prove the existence of conspiracy to deprive Fitz- simmons of the purse of $10,000. An in- junction was applied for to restrain the Anglo-Callfornia Bank from cashing the National €lub’s check until Fitzsimmons has an opportunity to prove the conspiracy. Payment of the Check Refused, When Lynch and Referee Earp went to the bank with the check, payment was re- -fused by the teller, who referred Lynch to Manager Lilienthal. The latter stated that he had been advised by his attorney that the bank was In the position of an Innocent custodian of the money which would be Involved in the promised legal controversy and that for the protection of the bank he would refuse to pay it. Lynch supposed that the bank had been formally enjoined from cashing the check, but It afterward developed that the bank was acting on an order from the officials of the National Club, who requested that payment of the check should be tempo- rarily deferred. As the check had been certified, the right of the bank to refuse payment is questioned, and will form the basis of an attack by Sharkey should he be worsted in the injunction suit. Meantime Sharkey was in bed with three doctors in constant attendance, and he is likely to remain where he is for several days; the $10,000 Is in the bank and is also likely to remain where it is for some time, and Bob Fitzsimmons, without mark or bruise, and followed by an admiring and cheering crowd, 1s walking the streets re- = ceiving continued Za as the real win- ner of Wednesday nisht’s encounter. Sharke'y Appearance. Tom Sharkey was a somewhat dilapi- dated-looking pugilist as he lay on his bed. The only visible bruises were two on the left side of his faog:pone a cut, which had rather neatly di’ eed the left eyebrow lengthwise. “He gave “me re cut with his elbow, when he fouled me early in the fight,” said Sharkey. Tke doctors made no objection to show ing not only the condition of Sharkey’ lace, but also of hig ody. In doing so they calied attention tothe fact that there was nothing to indicate hat he had received any particular punishment previous vo the striking of the blow whien ended the fight. This seemed to be the fact, for there were no discolorations or hruises at all upon Sharkey's body except at the point nelow the belt where the alleged foul blow is said to have landed. Here there was a desided swelling, and other evidences of injury, which it was easy to conceive would have prevented a man from continuing a xing match or any other form of exe c N right up to the time [ got that * Bharkey said, in answer to a I had not been hurt at all.” The wa: foul lick, question. ment, made very positively, that $I had_bee vidences, considered, being indisputayi “He was hit there and hit hard,” said Dr. Ragan.

Bob Fitzsimmons said: “I fell in among a gang of thiev I came out here to San Francisco expecting to get a square deal, but I made a mistake, as I was made the victim of one of the meanest jobs ever put through on earth.

When Wyatt Earp appeared in the ring Wednesday night to act as referee he w disarmed by Police Captain Wittman, who teok from the Arizona man a large sized pistol. Last night Earp was arrested on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. Hie was released on bail. The Law in the Cane. George Siler, the well-known sporting man, who was the referee at the Maher- Fitzsimmons fight in Mexico, last Feb- ruary, and who is admitted to be one of the best-posted men in the country on ring matters, said last night: “I have never seen the two men to- gether, and consequently I am not qualified to express an opinion as to their com- parative merits. Fitzsimmons may or may not have committed a foul} but granting that he did, no referee has a right to give a dectsion on a foul unless a foul has been claimed by the man, or by the seconds of the man upon whom the foul is alleged to have been committed. If no claim of a foul Is made, the fight cannot be decided on a foul. A fighter is entitled to nothing that is no§ claimed for him when fouls are in question.” ENNIS PLAYERS’ STANDING.
