" -f E By RUSR NEWLAND SAN FRANCISCO, April 30.

He still carries his head high, his chin ' Just out as of old and his shoulders are square but he's broke, this old-time ring gladiator who came out of the United States navy in the last century to fight them all. He'll be 65 years old next September. Sharkey the sail or man boasted he "wasn't afraid of any man alive." He fought John L. Sullivan, Jamet. J. Corbett. James J. Jeffries and Bob Fltzsimmons.
