The promise of a perfect system of bui- | letins made by The Call was fulfilled to | the letter. James J. Corbett's accurate description of the fight was by far the | best and was at all times half a round | papers. While the yellow kid was de- scribing blows being delivered the magic name JEFFRIES was displayed by The Call in flaming letters of light from a cunningly concealed box on‘the front of the building. The red fire was blazing from the dome of The Call building, sig- naling to thousands of watchers, before the Examiner recelved tardy information that the champlonship battle had ended and that the title remained in possession of Jeffries. ; Corbett's knowledge of the ga enabled him to note the varying fm‘fur‘\xé: | of the men, and he was quick to see that Jeffries had a shade the better of the fight throughout the majority of rounds. From the tenor of the other bulletins the | spectators were led to believe that Shar- key was the better man throughout. The crowd seemed equally *divided between the two boxers, each being cheered when it appeared the tide of battle had turned in his favor. Shortly before the end of | the fight rain commenced to fall, but | could not dampen the ardor of the thou- sands on the streets. The betting was the heaviest ever dona in this city on ary fight. All the pool- rooms handled a lot of money, but the bulk of it was wagered through Harry Corbett. On Thursday night he held 4,000, and when the night ended this had heen swelled to $104,000 in the straight bet- ting. In addition to this a total of $11,965 was played in the parls mutuels.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 3.—The Call scored a ten-strike with the people of Sacramen- to to-nignt by the manner in which it bulletined the rounds of the Sharkey-Jef- fries fight. For days past the San Fran- cisco Examiner had been exposing to the gaze of the populace posters announcing that it was going to be the first in the field with the news. However, on tnis oc- casion, as on others, The Call showed its superiority as a disseminator of the first and freshest news. This was accomplished it mifhl ve added without any preliminary blow! ng of trumpets, The bulletins were made public at ™he Call headiquarters diagonally across from the Golden Eagle Hotel, and not since the days when great political meetings were held in that vicinity has such a crowd collected. In all directions the streets fronting the headquarters were thronged and the street cars were moved with d..- ficulty. The crowd expressed many com- pliments for The Call's promptgess and enterprise. The bulletins of {ts San Fran- cisco contemporary were presented in u.e form, but they had the disadvantage of being from a minute to two minutes ate, and with such an anxious crowd a min- ute’s delay meant as much as an_hour. The Call may justly claim the credit for having kept the Sacramento people in- formed on to-night's fight ahead of all other agencies. . Dr. Nieto Lectures.

At times each man was favorite at odds of 2 to 1, the betting fluctuating in a remarkable man- r. This was undoubtedly due to the ef- forts of men to hedge out when they thought the fight was going contrary to the way they anticipated. The heaviest individual loser is the col- ored plunger, Johnson, who placed the major portion of $6000 on Sharkey, This is the first important fight in which he has failed to pick the winner. ¥ OAKLAND, Nov, 3.—‘Jeff wins” was flashed on The Call screen to-night, and instantly there was a wild yell from thou. sands of throats. Some time later an- other yell a block away told that the Chronicle had discovered the news, and some minutes still later a faint shout four blocks away was the signal that the Ex- aminer had learned of the fact that the Reliance Club_protege was the undoubted champion of The world. The fact that The Call gave the first news of the decision in the great fight caused but Jittle surprise, as such things have long been taken as a matter of course. ‘The success of The Call's bulletin service was the result of earefuily planned arrangements, and although it did not have all the wires of the Marconi system, it secured the news first, and with this fact the argument ends.

In a clinch Sharkey hung on to Jeffries’ neck with his left arm, drag- ging Jeffries across the ring. They broke clean and Tom swung his left with fearful force to the body and Jeff shook from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. Jeft was more careful after this and kept on the defensive until the end of the round, which was decidedly Sharkey's on points, barring the hugging. Nineteenth round—Sharkey rushed, but Jeffries was first to land, sending his right hard under the heart. Sharkey broke away and heoked his left over to Jeft's ear. They eclinched again and Sharkey brought his left hard across the stomach. Jeffries cOmBlah’\ed that Shar- key was holding him, but Siler thought differently and told the men to go on and fight. Sharkey led with a left to the head. Jeff ducked and put his left hard on the wind. Sharkey rushed iIn eft to the head and in a half-clinch sent his free right hand over the kidney three times. Jeffries clinched, and after they broke Sharkey swung his left to the cheek and crossed his right over on the opposite side. Both of these blows jarred Jeffries, but he came back and jabbed his left to the wind and shot the same hand straight to Sharkey’s face and the sallor staggered. They were fighting at close range at the sound of the gong. Twentleth round—Sharkey, as usual, was first up and quickest on his feet and forced Jeffries to a neutral corner, but failed to land left and right swings which he attempted. They broke from again, sending his a clinch in the middle of the ring and Jef- fries ent_his left straight to the mouth. xchanged left swings on the ear zot into another clinch, from which the referee had to separate them. Both men were slower in movement and clinch- ed repeatedly without landing a blow. | Sharkey sent two straight lefts to Jeff's nose, bringing blood in streams, but a few seconds later Jeff jolted his right under Tom’s chin.

They got to the center in a clinch and Jeff ot his right to the body. Sharkey re- ponded with two rights over the kid- vs. They exchanged lefts to the face and Jim stepped in with a hard right on the ‘body, Sharkey countering lightly. Jefries landed another right on the body and jabbed hig left to Tom's face. Both exchanged rights over the kidneys, while they laughed at each other semi-good- naturedly. They came to clinch, and af- ter the break Tom swung his left to the neck, Jim responding with a straight left on the mouth just before the bell. Twenty-second round—They moved cau- tiously and Jeffries was first to land, send- ing a right to the body. Then he sent a straight left to the face and Sha Vo re- plied with a left swing on the jaw. After a clinch Jeffries sent his left to Sharkey's injured eye and the Irishman’s optic be- Fan to bleed freely. Tom kept boring in, but Jim met him twice with straight lefts on the face. Three times they clinched and broke and each time Sharkey landed a back hand right on Jeff’s face. Jim stepped in with a fearful ri under the chin and repeated it twice as they broke from a clinch. Sharkey turned to his manager, O'Rourke, and Ylughed. ‘while T_Dmmy yan and other men in Jeffries’ corner shouted to him, “Go on! g0 on!” Jeffries failed to follow up his advantage, but the force of these blows was visible when the bell rang, and Shar- key wobbled perceptibly as he went back to his corner. Twenty-third round—They came to- gether with a rush in the center of the ring and Jeff shot his right to the chin. They clinched and Tom forced Jeffries head back with his left glove under the chin. When tht:iy broke away Jeffries smiled and feinted with his left, and they went to a clinch again without anything behlg done. They exchanged light lefts on the head and both missed lefts for the body. Jim jabbed a straight left to Tom's injured eve and Tom clinched after the break. Jim jabbed his left to the sailor's stomach and forced Sharkey across_the ring. They came to a clinch in which Sharkey forced Jim's head back with his elbow under the jaw. Again they came “You Can’t Catch the Wind in a Net,”” Neither can you cure catarth by local applications.

The referee had to get between them, and as he did so the bell rang, ending the fight. The referee then decided Jeffries the winner.
