"Jeffries received the declaim ever
Sharkey because I thought be had
the better of the contest Marker
put up • great fl ht, but he was
outgenerailed by Jellrlee. The cham-
pion fought • clean cut battle. Jet -
fries outpoLoted throughcat the fish
with the exception ot • few rounds
Sharkey at times was aggressive and
led often, but many of his blows
went wild. Aggressiveness Is not the
oat, thing that figures la a contest
Sh.rk..r'a blows, which may have ap-
peared to land on Jeffries, went w1
of the mark. The champion blocked
Sharpey's .ads rep•atadly. Jeffries
altogether fought a clever tight, and
every blow leaded by Ma was clean
cad enactive. Sharkey la his desire
to win cosseted to questionable tac-
Um It was lbs greatest heavyweight
tight I have ever seen, cad I think
it w111 be a tomlg time before such an-
obhar battle takes piece. Both men
showed pmeams and their endur-
ance was &lmont marvellous-"
