SN Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Nov. 5.—Trustee Kent, whose vicious attack on George Clark, the Republican candidate for Mayor, caused a mild sensation a few days ago, is out with a statement in which he says that he made a mistake in attacking Clark, and is sorry for it. This statement ap- pears in to-day’s lssue of the Sunday News, and is remarkable in many re- spects.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—Thomas Sharkey, in pain and encased in a plaster support, spent to-day quietly in his quarters. He was constantly attended by his physi- s and quiet. The defeated pugilist was restive and uncomfortable till a sleeping powder had been administered. Then he fell into a deep sleep, which lasted all afternoon. The burden of Sharkey's talk was that he wanted to meet Jeffries again. The champion, on the other hand, while de- asserted his willingness to grant the sailor his desire, though he did not see why he should be expected to do_so. “But, you know,” he sald, ‘“there is such a thing as belng driven to a fight.” Sharkey said that he wanted another fight in eight weeks, and, was going to post S0 forfeit to-morrow. O'Rourke, is manager, said he was doing his best to bring the match about. “To-morrow morning early,” O'Rourke said, “I am going to post with George Considine a $5000 forfeit to get a return match with Jeffries. It will be a bet as well as a forfeit.

We are in rnest about this. Sharkey feels he is 2 better man and he ought to have a fair chance to prove it.”" Brady said, when asked about a return match: “What I have determined is this: Jeffries ueeds a rest. He would have ! knocked Sharkey clean out early in the | fight i€ he had been recovered from his | fight with Fitzsimmons. He has licked | Sharkey twice.
