OLD MAN STiLL GAME Fitzsimmons Gave Sharkey His Quietus In Two Rounds. EASILY PROVED HIS SUPERIORITY THE MOBNIKG QREGpxIA& STUgDAY, VtjOTST 25, 1900. HI Cool Head and Better. Jfndssiest Ejxabled.Him to .Knock Out tbe . ' Sailor la Short Order. ' OTW TOKK, Aug. St "Whipped, Into Insensibility In less than two rounds," Is the story In brief -of Tom Sharkey's meet ing -with Bob Fitzsimmons at the Coney Island Sporting: Club tonight. Fitzsim mons was the victor. Sharker the loser. "Fltzslramons said all along that when an opportunity presented Itself ho -would prove conclusively that he. was Sharkey's superior and cettle accounts for tho in justice done him -when he met Sharkey In California four years ago. Sharkey was equally confident that he would provo to be Fltsslmmons" master In the ring, but tho result of tonight's battle and the brevity of -it proved that Fitz simmons is still a great fighter and able to beat the best or the heaVywoights. Ho has beaten Corbett, Ruhlin and Sharkey. Fitzsimmons was a decided favorite in the betting, owing to his showing with Ruhlin a short time ago. His defeat of Ruhlin on that occasion and the victory of Ruhlin over Sharkey a few weeks earlier were figured on as showing that "Fitzoimmons ought to whip the sailor ar this meeting. When tho .men mot tonight both of thm declared themselves to be in flrst class condition and they certainly looked it. Fitzsimmons had taken on a few pounds in weight since his meeting with Ruhlin, but neither he nor Sharkey voum. ten nis actual weight. Sharkey looked to be about 20 ' pounds the heavier. "When tho men came together Sharkey assumed the aggressive, rushing fiercely and swinging wildly. Fitzsimmons haa no difliculty in tide-stepping out of tho "way. Bob soon began feinting Sharkey Into leads, and when the Sailor tried his roundTarm blows he left himself 6pen, of which fact Fitzsimmons was quick" to take advantage and he stepped Inside and put powerful right and lcf.t smashes on the Sailor's body and neck, ' He" stabbed Sharkey with his left, making tho Sailor lose his temper. Then Sharkey rushed more wildly than before, musing oi 01 uie swings while Fitzsimmons was getting to him with great force and using both hands. the ring was so ridiculous that the on lookers took It as a huge joke. Instead of resenting It as a gold brick which was offered them. Then there was another delay of nearly an hour before the big fellows made their appearance. Charley White, the chosen referee, refused to officiate until 5300 tf as guaranteed -to him. When White was"granted his point, Fitzsimmons and his manager insisted that the amount of the purse, 5,000, should be in sight bc- zoro tao janky pugilist would enter: the ring. 2Fust what agreement was made be tween ffce club manager and Fitzsimmons could not bo learned;. but Fltzslmmon$ de clared that he was satisfied as he walked to tho ringside. Sharkey had been In the ring fully,, 25 minutes before Fitzsimmons turned up, 'and Bob was received with mingled cheers and groans, as the great majority of those present were not aware of what -had delayed him. In less thnn 15 minutes afterwards those who groaned at the old. man were standing on. chairs and benches cheering madly for the man who had given Sharkey his quietus. What the Fighters Sold. After the battle, when tho men. had re turned to their dressing-rooms, it was seen that Fitzsimmons did not show a mark. He had a slight cut on the Insldo of his Up; that was all. Fitzsimmons said: "I've got very little td say other than I'm glad I won and won quickly. I am glad for the sake of my wife and children, and am going to hurry home to them with all possible speed. I will look for Jeffries next, .and will be ready to meet him as soon as arrangements can be made. I am an old man, but I'm not a has been,' and I feel- that I can take caro of myself against all comers for some time to come." In an adjoining room Sharkey was be ing rubbed down by his handlers. He seemed to be crestfallen at his defeat. He said: ''Well, I got llckod -sure enough, but I've got myself to blame for it. I should not have mlsed It up. That is where I made the miBtake. I wish the opening round had lasted about JS seconds longer, and I would have finished him, as I am sure I had him going when the bell sep arated us." Sharkey had a black eye and a bloody nose as the result of his meeting with Fitzsimmons, who beat him down as if ho had been using a hig .hammer on a blacksmith's forge.

The leferee rushed between them, sending them to their corners and this is where Sharkey says he would 'have finished Fitzsimmons had he had 10 sec onds more.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-A dispatch to the Times from Paris says: Coach Patrick Dempsey, of the Vesper Boat Club crew, of Philndelpla, In an in terview stated that, contrary to the or iginal intention, ho will not enter a crew in the foar-oared shell race, and that the crews rowing would be strictly confined to the eight-oared race. The American coach also stated that his charges are in the pink of condition; in fact, they were never In better shape, and If they are beaten no excuses can bo offered on the strength of lack of qmdl tion. No accidents of-any kind have over taken the Americans. In which thpv hv been particularly fortunate. Even the change of air and diet has had no deter rent effect. The shell, which was received after be ing somewhat delayed in transit, was found to be slightly Injured, a few checks being discovered in its skin, but these were repaired in a short while. Dempsey has had much opportunity to observe the other crews, which are now on the Seine, and seems more confident that ever of the Americans' chances. He declared that his crew were by far the best rigged, and that the general adaptability of the stretchers and slides in his boat were Tar superior to the old-going crews. The crew representing Germany has ar rived .here. The Swiss, Italian. Austrian. Hungarian and Danish oarsmen are ex pected this week. The Dutch crew has been chosen from the three chief uni versities of Holland, and, while their row ing shows particularly good form, the American adherents are not fearful or them. The Dutchmen's average height is a trifle below that of the Vespers, and the latter average le3S In weight. The first heat of the elght-oared shell race will be rowed on Saturday, and tho finals will tako place on Sunday. One thing that has caused considerable dis cussion here among the rowing enthusi asts is the fact that while most of the foreign crews have been picked from the combined rowing contingents of one na tion, the Vespers are the pick of but one single American boat club.

The Tribune morning says: "Members ot the Building Contract ors' Council are quietly working to induce Governor Roosevelt not to speak ot the coming Labor Day demonstration of the Building Trades' Council. With this purpose in view, a copy of the pub lie letter which contractors addressed to Mayor Harrison last Spring, setting out their objections to the central labor body, has been sent to the Governor. The contractors disclaim any intention of attempting to induce the Governor to remain away, saying they do not propose to mix up in any such thing, and de clare their purpose is to inform him as to tho character of the organization un der whose allspices he is to speak. At tho same timo they would not feel dis appointed If he were not to come." " "Cash" Sloan's Winning. PAIUS Aug. 25. At Dieppe yesterday New York Riot Victims. NEW TORK. Aug. 24. Dr. M. S. N.
