THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDA ’ MARCH 12, 1898. THEY RUSHED EIGHT ROUNDS TO Sharkey Fought Like a Wild Ste A DRAW er When Punched on the Nose. Pitched Choynski ‘Through the Ropes and Referee Green De- cided the Contest According to London Prize Rules. George Green distinguished himself | which proved on this occasion of more | Jast evening at Woodward's Pavilion by proving to the thousands of sporting men who witnessed the Sharkey and Choynski fight, that he either knows not the first thing about the rules of Queensberry or had entered the ring when called upon with the intention of giving somebody the worst of a hard game. The National Club is also entitled to | severe criticism for the outrageous manner in which it treated the patrons of the ring. Although the asreement which the pugilists had signed did not state that the club should appoint a referee in case the agree upon any one of the numerous men who have heretofore been prom- fnently connected with the game, it fighters failed to | interest to the spectators than the so- called event of the evening, Eddie Graney entered the ring with Choynski and his seconds. Choynski received a well-merited reception from the people who love to see clean sport. sailor followed soon after with his sec- onds, and was received with mingled hoots and cheers. He smiled as he sat | in a chair on the southeast corner of the ring. Jordan then stepped to the center of the ring and said: “Gentlemen, the trouble now lies in the selection of a | referee.” Shouts for Jim MecDonald, the base- | ball umpire, Hiram Cook and Peter | Jackson was fully one hour and thirty minutes before Sharkey agreed to accept George Green, the pugilist, for referee. Graney in behalf of Choynski did not object, Sharkey Crowding Choynski Through the Ropes. cannot be gainsaid that the club had overlooked the fact that the people who pay cash to witness fistic sport are at least worthy of some consideration. It was a duty that the club owed io | the sporting public of this city to hav insisted, when the articles were being formulated, that a clause be Inserted reading thusly: In case the contest- ants shall fail to agree upon a referee on the day prior to the contest the club will select a man whose decision shall | be final, or words of a similar kind. It such a clause had appeared in the agreement entered into by the club and the pugllists, the thousands of good natural sports who witnessed the Lon- don prize ring battle between a scien- tific fighter and an out-and-out slug- | ger would not have been subjected to the one and a half hours’ suffering they certainly endured while penned up in a veritable sweat box. To sum up the matter in a nutshell the affair of last night was grossly mis- managed, and the Supervisors should not grant another permit to the Na- tional or any other club unless there is some assurance that proper provision will be made for the care of the patrons of the sport. A conservative estimate places the attendance at the ringside at 6000 peo- | ple. But two entrances were provided, one for the main floor and the other for | the gallery. There was an overflow erowd at the door of several thousand, and spectators who had bought tickets were first obliged to edge their way through this crowd toward the terrible jam at the door. The police made some attempt to form a line, but it was of little use, and strong men were buffeted around and had their clothes torn from them in the mad struggle to reach the entrance. The exits are little better, but two more than the entrances being provided, and in case of fire or panic a terrible loss of life would result. The management is obtaining money under false pretenses to subject gentle- men to such indignities at the door, coupled with the slight assurance that the reserved seat they have paid for inside will not be taken by some usurper, and then to submit to a delay of over an hour waliting for the two pugilists to settle upon a referee, some- thing which should always be arranged between the principals beforehand. Sharkey certainly recelved the worst of it in the decision and was given the same treatment last night that he gave to Fitzsimmons at the Mechanics’ Pa- vilion over a year ago. In the way of giving rank decisions Wyatt Earp has certainly got a partner in iniquity in George Green, for to declare a twenty- round bout a draw in the eighth round because one of the contestants is | and the monotony of waiting in the i hot house was relieved. ‘ The Fight by Rounds. It was just twenty minutes to 11 | when the fighters stripped for the en- | counter, an hour and five minutes hav- ing been consumed in securing referee, | to the center of the ring after the nouncer had declared that the men had | agreed not to hit in the clinches or the breakaway. | ROUND 1-Both men came to the center | quickly and commenced fiddling for an |.opening. Sharkey led first, a left swing | for the jaw, which Joe ducked. Choynski | held his head down and forced Sharkey around the ring. The sailor made two ual swings with his left, Joe jump- y each time. Sharkey swun left again and missed, and tried a viclous right, which Choynski skillifully ducked. Sharkey rushed and a clinch resulted, Sharkey keeping away, but doing most of the leading. Choynski lands a light left on the neck. Sharkey misse straight left reach for the body, and Joe The | tried the same blow without aval. round ended without damage.

ROUND 3—Choynski first to lead, with- | out landing. Sharkey leads low without Janding, and makes a grimace as the crowd hisses. Sharkey lands a straight left in the stomach and a clinch follows. Choynski plants a hard left swing on the neck. Both exchange body blows. Shar- key's left again cleaves the air without effect. Choynski makes a long reach with his left’ and lands lightly on the body. Choynski pushes his left glove twice into Sharkey’s mouth, and the round ended without favor. ROUND 4 Sharkey planted a hard straight left on the chest and missed a | right_swing, which Joe ducked. Choyn- | ski cleverly ducked and clinched to avoid | a left swing. Sharkey lands a hard left | swing on the neck and right on the body. | Choynski knocks Sharkey's head back with a straight left. Choynskl | mostly straight leads. Choynskl lands | another straight left and Sharkey rushes | him to the ropes and lands a hard left | swing on the neck, ending in a clln:-h‘.mh ROUND 5—Sharkey comes up crouch- | nlg,oand after some fiddling lands a hard | 1eft swing on the jaw.

Choynski lands two hard left swings and receives a stiff right on the neck.. Both men landing hard in the clinches. Sharkey knocks Choynskl down with a right swing on the head and Joe remains on the floor the full nine seconds. Sharkey rushes Joe to the ropes as he arises and hits him flercely when on the ropes and in the clinches. Everybody standing and velling “Foul!” at the referee on account ot Sharkey’s tactics. Both men very tired but fighting hard as the gong Sounds. ROUND 7—They come up quickly and Choynski lands a hard left on the jaw. Sharkey rushes, swinging right and left, and landing hard on the body. Both men seemingly too weak to knock the other out, but fighting as hard as they can. Sharkey rushes Joe to the ropes, landing left and right swings on the head and body, Joe returning on the face. Both men taking and giving a great deal of | punishment. Choynski lands a straight left in the mouth and receives a hard right swing on the neck. Sharkey rushes his man to the ropes and punches him hard in the resulting clinch, and again the cry of foul is raised all over the house. ROUND 8—Sharkey came up rushing, and was met with a straight left in the ribs. Both exchanged left swings on the Both jab their lefts into the face. v lands hard left and right swings on the jaw, and Choynski returns with a hot one on 'the body. Choynski lands an- other hard one on the body and a light | left swing on the jaw. Sharkey rushes | Choynski across the ring to the ropes in Sharkey’s corner and Joe goes clear through the ropes and falls to the floor below, about féur feet lower than the ring, directly in front of Captain Lees. The Chief of Police arose and raised his finger, and the police commenced to clamber into the ring. The referee velled “Draw,” and Sharkey rushed over to him and tried to expostuiate, but was hustled to his corner by the police. Choynski was | fifted back through the ropes by friends and walked to his corner unaided. The house was in a terrible uproar all the | | while. The preliminary events to the even- ing’s sport opened with a four-round bout between Hugh Dougherty of Chi- cago and Joe Sullivan of this city Dougherty was awarded the fight in the middle of the last round by Referee | | Frank Allen, he having Sullivan com- pletely at his mercy. Frank Babcock of Pennsylvania and | Grant Rogers of this city then came to- | Babcock | gether for four rounds. knocked Rogers down twice in the sec- ond round. He forced the fighting in | the fourth, and had Rogers so nearly cut that the bout was stopped and Babcock given the decis Next came Pat Lynch and Jack Hall, both of this city, in a six-round con- test. Lynch was clearly the best man, as was demonstrated early in the first round, so the police stopped the bout, and under the rules the referee had no recourse but to declare it a draw. | | | | Al Smith Made a Winning. At 5:30 o’clock last evening Deput,\‘; Sheriffs Appel and O'Connor, in behalf | of Attorneys F. H. Smithson and J. H. | representing Al J. Smith, as- | signee of Tom Ryan, who claims to | have $580 due him from the National Club, swooped down on the cigar store of Michalitschke Bros. & Co. and tookl‘ away $750 out of the $1400 which had | been paid into the store for admission tickets to the Sharkey-Choynski fight. The plan had been well laid. It was a | well-known fact that about the time of | to the pavilion. In accordance with this information the deputy sheriffs lo- cated themselves in convenient places, | and as the sack of money appeared | above the counter the rush was made. Pete O'Connor went up to Barney | Meyers, who was behind the counter, and laid his hands on the money in a sheriff-like way. The bystanders were the opinion for a few moments that a daring robbery was taking place, as Meyers and O'Connor both tugged at | { | arm. Explanations were freely made, but without avail, and it was not until Sheriff Whelan arrived on the scene that the facts of the move were made | known. The attorneys in the case had | | the papers prepared the previous day for the purpose of attaching the money. | The amount taken covered the amount | assigned to Smith by Ryan and the costs of suit. It was at first decided | upon to attach the box office at Wood- | | ward's Pavilion last evening, but this was abandoned when it was seen that | the amount in the cigar store covered | the demand. Sharkey when seen said: “I have nothing to say. T was robbed. I got the worst of it. I think I ought to have got the decision as there wasn’t | any rule that would permit Green to | decide as he did. Choynski mever | { phased me. Why, he couldn’t have hurt | | me if I had my hands down for a week. I never felt there was a chance for him to win at any time. He went through | the ropes this way: I hit him in the | shoulder with my left and then put my | right on the point of his jaw. My | timekeepers counted ten on him twice— | he was dead out. Well, I suppose theé only way to fight a fellow in this town is to have a netting around the ring | so that in case I hit a man he won’t fall out of the ring. I want him to rebound | 80 I can hit him again. “To show Choynski that I did not want the best of it, I agreed to Green as referee, even though I knew that Green had sparred with Choynskl every day at the Olvmpic Club, and that Choynski was in Green’s corner when he fought Ryan. I gave them Alec Greggains as my choice, because he was a square man, but they did not want him. I am now willing to fight either Maher or McCoy and will post $10,000 to-morrow to show my willing- ness. I will never fight in this town again. I have always tried to act right | but have always got the worst of it. 1t I ever do, I will never go into the ring with a California referee.” (E;mynski was seen after the fight and said: *I never had such a rough fight in all my life. For a few rounds everything went along all right, but when I com- menced to jab Sharkey on the nose he commenced his old-time style of rough fighting. Why, he fouled me at least fifty times, hitting in clinches and try- ing to break my back against the posts. I fight according to Queensberry rules, and if this fight of to-night is Queens- berry rules as I understand them then I quit the ring for good. The only injury I received was when he pitched me out of the ring by sheer force. That’s all I can say.” m “If Choynski had fought me in the way he did Sharkey I would have In our fight he kept away, but in to-night's go he went right at Sharkey. I was sur- prised that Greaney let him do that— he should have kept away. Sharkey fought foul all the way through. Had Choynski kept away he would have done better. At one time he had Shar- kéy at a standstill. There is no one that T would rather go against than Sharkey, and as soon as my fight with | after the fight | against him, and I think I can lick him.” Froebel Association.

About ten days ago Bohen com- plained of a severe pain in his right | foot, which he attributed to rheuma- tism. As it gradually grew worse Chief Lees advised him to go home, and re- | main there until the pain had subsid- | ed. Bohern took his advice, and as the pain continued he sent for a physician. | An examination disclosed the addition- | al fact that he was suffering from ty- | phoid fever. For the last four days he has been unconscious, and it requlr(-‘d‘- the combined efforts of two of his men to keep him in bed “‘Ben is a ver: k man,” remarked Chief Lees last night, “and on account of his age I fear for the worst. Since the appointment as chief of detectives he has worked night and day to pro- mote the interests of the department. This, I believe, is to a certain extent, the cause of his sickness.” After being appointed the head of the detective department Captain Bohen frequenty complained of the deadly gases which arise from the basement of the new City Hall. “This place will surely do me up,” he remarked to a friend who was sltting in his office a short time befor2 he was taken ill. “I already feel the effects of the deadly vapors that impregnate the “It is only a short time, however,” he added, “when I shall be able to re- tire on a pension.” Notwithstanding that the veteran de- tective still lives there is already con- siderable speculation as to who will succeed him. Detective John Seymonr, it is said, will be warmly supported by Chief Lees for the position. It is, how- ever, known that Detective Joe Bee has the friendship of the Police Commis- sioners and will in all probability get Bohen's place in case the latter dies or is retired on a pension.

Gardner, Third Artillery, is relleved from duty at Alca- traz Island, and will proceed to the Pre- sidio for duty with his battery, Light Battery C, Third Artillery, reporting upon his arrival to the commanding offl- cer of the post. Second Lieutenant Rob- ert S. Abernethy. Third Artillery, is re- leved of duty at Alcatraz Island, and will proceed to Angel Island for duty with his battery., Battery L. Third Artillery, on temporary duty at Fort Baker, Captain Wililam A. Kobbe, Third Ar- tillery, stationed at Fort Canby, Wash- ington, and First Lieutenant George E. Sage, Fifth Artillery, on duty at Mount Tamalpals Military ' Academy, San Ras fael, Cal., have been directed to report to Colonel Marcus P. Miller, Third Artillery, president of the examining board at the Presidio, for examination as to their fit- ness for promotion. The Senate on Thursday last passed a bill authorizing First Lieutenant John W. Williams, Battery D, Third Artillery, sta- tioned at San Diego Barracks, to accept the decoration of Chevalier of the on of Honor from the President of the French republic. Lieutenant Williams has been on duty as military attache at Berne, Switzerland, since July 27, 1897. | Police Department. | about the City Hall. Westphal indig- nantly denied that he was overtaxing the city. | “The story was given out by a man | whom I caught stealing oats,” he re-| marked, “and I am sorry now that I | did not have him arrested. As my sta- | blemen know I am losing - money | through taking care of the horses of | the department. While it is true that | my bills against the city aggregate $400 | or $500 a month, yet anybody familiar | with the business knows that the amount is not exorbitant. “Several horses belonging to the Po- lice Department are stabled in box stalls, and I charge less than $25 for each animal. Any other livery stable in this city would charge at least $27 50 | for the same service. It is mot true | that 1 have purchased horses for the | My friend, Mr. De- | lany of the Board of Supervisors has | that power, and as he knows I am a | good judge of horseflesh he frequently | consults me. It is true I regard.Cap- | tain Wittman as my friend, and that we have gone for a short trip down the road. My appointment as a member of the Police Department was made at| the recommendation of the Super- | visors, as they realized the necessity | of having a veterinary surgeon to care for the disabled horses of the depart- ment. “While I receive only a paltry $100 for my services, the veterinary surgeon of the Fire Department receives $140. It is seldom that a strange horse is taken to my stable unless it is found by an officer connected with the Southern or Central stations.” Notwithstanding Westphal's denial, the fact remains that he is rapidly adding to his bank account at the ex- pense of the city. .ne of the members of the Grand Jury is on the trail of ‘Westphal, and he intends to have that body investigate the bills which he has presented to the city during the past few months. Dr. E. J. Creely, who is also a veter- inary surgeon. is authority for the statement that Westphal, in order {o increase his bank roll, frequentiy de- tains” a horse belonging to the Police Department, so that he might furnish one of his own stceds at a certain price. Westphal, he says, always kas several horses in his stable which he rents to the city whenever one of iis horses becomes sick. The Wasp This Week. The cartoon features of this week's jssue of the Wasp are strikingly original and up to date. The colored center page cartoon shows the apostle of Democracy awakening from his slumbers and gazing with open-eyed astonishment at the shower of gold to be seen in the northern heavens. ‘“‘A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing” is the caption of a telling cartoon on the recent exposure of the doings of some of the leaders of an alleged religious organi- zation. The turning down of some of the local Democratic political aspirants by Governor Budd is also cleverly cartooned in this week’s issue of the Wasp. The “Plain_Talk to Public Characters” is a splendid bit of sarcasm and should be read to be appreciated. The editorials, as usual, are vigorous, well written and worthy of careful perusal.
