Before Kelly did so, however, many of those | who had bet on Corbett—and they were | Jegion—annealed to the referee to take | such action, while Sharkeyites shouted | against ~ interference on Kelly's part and protested that he had no au- thority to declare the bets off. How- ever, the referee's word went with the majority of the spectators and conse- | quently all money paid on wagers will | be refunded. { It was an unfortunate and abrupt | ending to what promised to be a most | interesting fight. For weeks both Cor- | bett and Sharkey had trained faithfully and carefully for the contest, and whe- they stripped they both showed to be in good condition. Sharkey was very confident of success, and the manner in which he acquitted himself in the ring while the fight lasted showed plainly | that his confidence was founded on | good grounds. Those who believed that | Sharkey could not fight fairly changed their opinion after the bout had gone one round. On the other hand, Corbett hit the | sailor in the body rather low and Shar- | key protested. Sharkey's quickness and | aggres: | = ga eness were astonishing from | the very beginning, and from the first | 1t was evident that he had Corbett safe. | In the second round there were wild yells from the admirers of the Irishman when he floored Corbett with a right | swing on the head, preceded by a pow- l erful blow on the body. | Sharkey's rushes were successful in- variably and Jim’'s leg work was tested to its utmost in trying to evade the ag- | gressive sailor pugilist. That Sharkey has improve 1 wonderfully goes without saying, and on the other hand Lhal‘ Corbett is not the Corbett of New Or- | leans is beyond question. At no time | had the Californian the upper hand of | his younger and more sturdy rival. | Sharkey is a fighter and a clever one | at that, and his work to¥night stamps | him -beyond all doubt as belng second only to Fitzsimmons. From the second to the eizhth round Sharkey held a decided advantage. In the ninth round, which was so produc- tive of disappointment and unlooked for Incidents, Corbett seemed to be stronger than at any time during the | fight, but it was apparent that he was slowly but surely fading under Shar- key's onslaughts. It was two to one | on Sharkey after the second round, and | had not McVey acted as he did there is very little doubt that Sharkey would have won handily. Some of the most prominent bankers, brokers, lawyers, doctors and business men In this and other cities were pres- | ent during the mill, and not one of | them could see any reason for inter- ference by McVey. The general belief is that McVey acted from some unex- plained motive, and some persons said | that he jumped iInto the ring to pre- vent Corbett going under. When Me- | Vey first put his leg through the ropes the referee evidently did not or would not look in that direction, but contin- ued to pay close attention to the fight- ers, who were mixing it up in the cen- ter of the ring. Inspector McLaughlin caught hold of McVey to pull him out again, but the latter was evidently ore than anxious that Kelly should see him. “Tn this he was successful, but not until half the people in the house had ed repeatedly to Kelly to dls- qualify Corbett. When the big Californian realized what had occurred hé was furious with passion and rushed at McVey. Had he caught the latter there is no telling what Corbett would have done in his fronzy, but the police were on hand and rushed between the men, thus avoiding a scene which wonld have added to the diseraceful exhibition. Tust what effect the untimely incident will have on boxing in this vicinity in the future cannot well be gauged. but that it will injure pugilism in this city 18 beyond question.

In of the sporting element from all over the country was never in the city limits at one time before. The ract that the contest would certainly take place without any legal interference induced many hundreds of followers and ad-| mirers of the art of seif-defense to make long journeys in order to be at| the rinrside when the fight took vlaceAl Nearly every city of any prominence in | the United States was represented by | parties of at least a dozen, and in many | -tions numbering over a | Wecks ago, when the seats were first | put on sale, the shrewd people who | lived quite a long distance from this | city either wrote or wired for seats to be reservesd and by doing so saved | themselves a lot of trouble on their ar- rival here. Those who saw far enough ahead to do this were only a compara- | tive few, however, and the past few | days there was a lively scramble to se- cure good seats. To-day not a seat was | to be had at the club after 1 o'clock and those who had not made early pro- | vision had to pay exorbitant prices to the wide awake speculators. Tickets | for seats in the immediate vicinity of the ring brought fabulous prices to- night. The original cost of these paste- boards was $20 each, but to-night twice that sum could not purchase one of them and in two instances they brought ‘ $100 apiece. The other tickets, costing | from $5 to $15, brought prices two and | threefold and the club management did | not put any of the $3 admission tickets | on sale. The gambling instinct, which is a necessary adjunct to all manner of fistlc contests, was in evidence as soon s the sports began to gather in the boxes. Corbett’s stock was alw in pref- erence and the odds on the San Fran- ciscan opened at 100 to 8¢. The betting dld not take on as lively a turn as on | former occasions when fighters of less note have met in this arena. So much betting had been done during the last | forty-eight hours, however, in the| sporting resorts throughout the city that the slackness of the wagering on | interest In the heavy-weight bout. By half past 8 o'clock nearly every seat in the house was occupied. Bank- | ers and brokers of prominence, lawyers | of note and business men representing | nearly every phase of trade, mingled with well known politicians and held animated conversations in close prox- | imity to the ringside. One well known | member of the Produce Exchange took | the Sharkey end of one of the largest | wagers of the night, which was $1500 | to $1300 on Corbett. Joe Vendig laid | the 0dds on the Californian. | Corbett's backers forced the price of was learned that the ex-champion had | reached the club house and was in his | dressing room. | At 10:23 a buzz of excitement ran| through the buildinx and Tom Sharkey pushed his wav through the butting crowd. He w~~ ~+tired in a light blue dressing gown, under which he had an American flag wound argund his waist for a belt. He was accompanied by his | manager, Tom O'Rourke, John T. Dougherty, George Dixon, Bob Arm- strong and Jack Reid, who acted as his seconds. Professor “Jimmy" de Forest held the watch for the Irishman. Sharkey never.looked better in his life, and said he weighed 178 pounds. He was very confident and showed no signs of nervousness. Announcer Charley Harvey called the attention of the onlookers to the fact that the prin- cipals wished them to refrain from smoking, and immediately all the cigars which were being industriously puffed were trodden underfoot most willingly. The crowd was beginning to be uneasy at Corbett's delay in making his appearance, when some one in the gallery shouted: “Three cheers for Sharkey. This was given with a will and re- peated. Corbett did not reach.the ringside un- til 10:38 o'clock, just fifteen minutes later than Sharkey. There was a wild cheer as he was seeking his way to the ringside. ‘When he reached the tention from me than ever. Let them g0 and get a reputati~n. There’'s Peter Maher, why don’t they take him on a little? I won’t pay any attention to them. Let them go lick somebody and get a reputation. “This kind of fighting makes me tired, anyhow,” went on the champion, warming to his subject. “It ain't on the square. There is only one homnest fighter in the world, anyhow—and his name is Robert Fitzsimmons.” Fitz was full of disgust over the end- ing of the fight and decl red over and over that it was a job and “not on the level.” Jimmy Barry, the 105-pound cham- pion of the viorld, merely remarke “It's too bad. The big fellows are kill- ing the game.” THRONGS VIEW THE BATTLE FROM AFAR The crowd which watched the pro- gress of the fight as it was depicted on the bulletin board of The Call was one of {he largest ever gathered in this steps leading up to the ring Corbett | stopped for a moment to shake hands | with some friends. Then he jumped through the ropes and rested his arms on them for a few minutes, during which time he smiled across the ring to O’Rourke, who stood in front of Sharkey. Corbett was enveloped in a dark olive | green dressing gown. His hair parted in the middle and combed and brushed. His seconds were Charley White, George Considine, Jack McVey and John Considine. John Considine of Detroit acted as his time-keeper. Both men had their choice of the sets of gloves. was him in California.

They were nearly an inch and a half longer than his opponent’s, which would give him an opportunity of forcing the hair in the gloves away from the knuckles. The gloves were of the regulation weight of five ounces as pr Ided by the Horton law. Corbett wore white trunks and a red, white and green sash, which his seconds took off as soon as he stood erect. Sharkey wore green splits, held by a belted American flag. There was a long confab between the principals, the seconds and the referee, after which the men retired to their corners. After having agreed not to hit in clinches or in the breakaways and that they would step back when or- | dered to break, everything was in order for the bout to begin. FITZSIMMONS SAYS IT WAS A “FAKE" CHICAGO, Nov. 22.—Robert Fitzsim- mons, the champion pugilist, is now in this city. He bas all along declared that the fight between Corbett and Sharkey 1 uld be a “fake,” and when seen to-ni after the result was made known, he exclaii.ied: “What did I tell you? I sald it was going to be a fake, and it was nothing but fake. McVey jumped into the ring on purpose to stop the fight, and it was all fixed for him to do it. You can bet. too, that there were men right at the ringside to hold him.

Both men are claimed as San Fran- ciscans and the outcome of the battle, which was practically for the heavy- weight championship of the world, aroused the sporting instincts of the | local people.

Of the fight and its results sporting men expressed different opinfons. The | consensus of opinion, however, was | that th referee should not have de- | clared all bets off because of the fact | | | that McVey, «0 was Corbett's second, jumped into the ring, evidently for the purpose of saving his man Jim from a knock-out blow.

OPINION ABOUT HER DIVIDED | ARRIVAL OF THE OVERDUE SAMOENA AT ASTORIA. Terrible Experience of Captain James Boyd of the Thornliebank and Springbank in Aus- tralia. The arrival of the schooner Prosper at Port Townsend with news of the sup- of the overdue ship Laurelbank caused quite a flutter In re- insurance: circles yesterday. On Monday it was conceded on all sides that the stout vesel had gone down in the ty- phoon that so nearly wrecked the steamer | Zealandia and the British ship Heath- fleld, and 90 per cent to reinsure was free- 1y offered with no takers. Yesterday the rate dropped to 70 per cent, and one gam- bler, who stood to win $3500 on & $400 in- vestment, refused $2500 for his risk. | The facts of the case are about as fol- | lows: On Au; Heathfield left the Laurelbank for Astoria. rust 31 the British ships Ehanghai for Tacoma and | On Septem- | kohama for Astoria, arriving at her des- tination on October 23.

From that day until the Prosper's cap- taln “thought” he saw her nothing has been heard of the Laurelbank.

Prominent sporting men who were questioned on the matter did not hesi- tate to say that the pool sellers should most assuredly pay off winning mutuai | tickets as those who had purchased | them did so with the intention of win-| ning if the fight came to an end be- | tween certain figures which denote rounds. HE first fall to be taken out of “Cyrano de Bergerac” in San Fran- cisco was accomplished at the Com- edy Theater last night by our old spec- tacular friend Dave Henderson. Accord- ing to the bills there were eighty persons on the stage, and according to the rows of vacant plush there were as many more in the audience. Mr. Henderson was mas- ter of the situation, and the overnosed hero of Rostand s romarmtic comedy was done to a finish. The thousands of pa- trons of art who preferred to stand in front of the newspaper offices and take stereopticon v of the Corbett- Sharkey battle got but little satisfaction for their pains. The few who went to tae Comedy Theater saw a contest that was full of steam and danger and received a decision that was just and final. Rostand and his boasted masterplece went under in five flerce rounds, and David Hender- son and his dauntless play actors are the heroes of this morning’s papers. After last night's work I would Wack Mr. Henderson and his crowd against any playwriter living or dead. They are one and eighty invincible champions, and TR-R-R-E when they set out to do a boasting author they do him. . . And still, no matter how well earned the victory s, one can't help but feel some sympathy for the vanquished. Until last night my acquaintance with “Cyrano” had been confined to the print- ed book, from which I had learned to love him well. His dash, his valor, his wit, his strength, passion, poetr: even his monumental nose, filled me with ad- miration and amaze. He was the old spirit of romance, swashbucklery and literate elegance, sublimated—crystaliized into a classic. He was going to bring about a renascent boom for poetic drama and duplicate the wit and ardor of “Romeo and Julfet.” If T had any taste for Ibsen, Sudermann, Shaw and other rank realists, Cyrano would cure me. He would alter the entire dramatic policy of The Call. That's what I thought might happen., But how different the sensations when 1 saw him bathed in public calclum and exposed on an open stage to the fury of the Hendersons.

The lovely poetry was garbled and cut and man- gled and soiled; the wild heroism was tame farce-comedy; the brilliant comedy was brutal burlesque, and the lofty sen- timent was inarticulate drivel. The very name Cyrano was a josh, for his pals and enemies called him everything from *‘Seer- aino'” to ‘‘Seerino. The balcony scene, that was to out-Shakespeare Willlam, was like a funeral march in rag time; and the brave Gascon cadets were half of them melancholy young women who looked as though they might have been on ice ever since the old days of Henderson's “Sin- bad.” The fragrant Roxane turned out to be a deliberate old party with a designing voice and the handsome Christian a large young gentleman whose only anxieties WEX‘C"HB costume and his feet. The stage, a tiny one at best, was crowded and congested with unmartialed supers and Cyrano’s nose. This nose was as big as a foot and twice as homely. The orchestra dodged whenever Mr. Bell poked it over the footlights. I have suffered disillusion before, but never as 1 have at the hands of Mr. Hen- derson. He is a versatile destroyer. Only a few weeks ago he was thnmpln§ the pride out of Sardou and Dumas, and last night at the same Bush.street arena he smashed the nasal masterpiece of modern French poetry.

From this it would appear as though the chances were all against the Laurelbank ever being | heard from again, and that the rate of % | per cent was fully warranted. The chances are that the captain of the Prosper was mistaken in the vessel. He Is not sure whether she had painted ports - or was lead colored. The Laurel- ank never was a painted port ship, as {usl about the time she and the Spring- bank (now in port) were l;umche&’ KEQ owners of the “Bank’ line abolished the palnked"})hr( and adopted the lead color style. he chances are that the vessel seen was the Samoena, which arrived at Astoria yesterday from Nagasaki. She was sixty-two days out, and 50 per cent reinsurance was paid on her. The takers of reinsurance, however, look upon this as a good sign. They won largely on the Samoena, and contend that if she took sixty-two days to reach Astoria from Na- asakl the other vessel is not overdue rom Shanghal. Never before has the fate of a vessel caused so much discus- slon in shipping circles, and there are just as many old salts to uphold one conten- tion as the other. Those who remember the Heathfleld's experience put the Lau- relbank down as ‘“lost.”” Those who know the Blrenflh and equipment of the Bank line of clippers contend that the vessel is dismasted and is comln? along a jury rig. In support of their side they point_to the Willscot, that came in here under a jury rig, and to the arrival of the Samoena at Astoria after 50 per cent re- insurance had been paid on her. Andrew Weir & Co. (the Bank line) own forty vessels, seven of which are | steamers. Many of these they purchased from other firms, but the ''Banks” were all built to their order. They are the Beechbank, Cedarbank (on her way here fram England), Clydebank, Comliebank (on her wa;}rom here to England), Falk- landbank, Fernbank, Fur(hfiank.

The Elmbank will be long remembered in San Francico. She came here from Japan with a cargo of sulphur and while she was lving at Greenstreet whart it caught fire. It was finally smothered out and the vesse, savedl but on her next vovage she became a total wreck on the Irish coast. The Comliebank and Spring- bank did not make unusually long pas- sages here, but yet 8 and 10 per cent re- insurance was paid on them. Captain J. Boyd of the Springbank has | had one hard experience in the ‘‘Bank’ line. A year ago he was master of the Thornliebank and took that vessel to Melbourne, Australia. After discharg- ing his vessel was towed to sea on her way to Newcastle, Australia, to load coal for San Francisco. While ' setting the topsails a rope broke and a block came swinging along and struck the captain on splinters. The tug was gone and dark- ness had set in, so the mate had to do the best he could and run for Newcastle. 1or six days (Jug{nln Boyd suffered terrible | agony and then reached the hospital in | Newcastle.

ALAMEDA, Nov. 22.—The Realty Syndi- cate Company, which operates the Ala- meda electric line, will lose its San Jose avenue franchise unless it greatly im- roves its service. The city authorities ave notified the superintendent, Ira Bishop, that the provisions of the fran- chise must be obeved or the tracks, poles and wires will have to be removed. The trouble arises from the fact that the com- pany’s agreement with the city is to make fifteen minute trips over the San Jose avenue line, whereas the cars have been run at irregular intervals, never more fre- quently than half hourly. The superin- tendent claims that the patronage of t.e branch line does not pay for the oil used in the cars.
