He eaught Munroe going away, swung a wicked left that caught the man from the West on the jaw and neck, just below his ear. It was Sharkey’s best blow, delivered in his best style.

Then, later on, as Tom tired, Munroe went after him, backing the Sailor around the ring and getting the best of almost every exchange of wallops, The fifth round was a hummer. The man from Butte could have |put Sharkey out in that round. It was not lack of strength that lept him from doing 80, but the use of what I consider very good judgment. Why the Miner Was Wise. The Sailor ts at all times a very dangerous man.
