tonight outfought Tom Shnrkey lu a
six-round Iwut nt the Second Itegl-
mcnl armory. Mijnro stepped from
the ring without a mark while both or
Sharkers eye wore swollen from vi
cious rlglfi Hud left swings of tho
Mutte miner.
In only one round the first did
Shiukey have an advantage over
Monro.
Alter this the battle was almost
wholly In Monro's favor. When Mini-
ro began to 11ml tho sailor's stomach
Sharkey oecamo wild and tu'arly all of
the leadn wont around Munio's neck.
In the tilth round Munro had his an-
tagonist In trouble nnd In the sixth
round Shnrkey was In great distress.
Tho blows which Munro landed on
hhnrkoy s stomach went straight from
tho shoulder and were hard enough to
knock out mnny lighters.
Tho general opinion sconis to b
.that Jefferlee will now bo cnlled cr
