Although the contest was limited to ten rounds , there was hardly n spectator In the pavilion tonight who did not expect to see ono or the other of the fighters go down to defeat before the full I limit of the fight had been reached. Thu s men themselves evidently expected the came. Fltzslmmons and his trainers were confi dent that Sharkey would ho put out In from i ono to five rounds and Sharkey expressed I every confidence that be would defeat Fltz- slmmons within seven rounds. The belting : public naturally leaned toward the man of [ experience and the oddd In Fltzslmmons' favor averaged about 2'i to 1 , In some few r cases going as high UK I to 1 , but Just before the flsht started , the prevailing odds were nhout 20 to 9. There was no lack of Sharkey money at these figures and many bets were offered at even money nnd accepted that I Fitzsimmons would put his man out within i six rounds. WOMEN WATCH THE FIGHT. The National club had made most elaborate preparations for the fight and It Is probable that a blmllar contest waa never witnessed by na many people. The twenty-four foot ring was located in Ihe center of Ihe pavil ion , Ihe largest building of Its kind In Sail Francisco , and over 150 boxes , nccom- inodallng from six lo ten persons each , sur rounded Ihe ring , nnd beyond the boxes nnd In the galleries on four sides of the Inilldlng were row nftcr row of chairs. Every neat In the building waa occupied 1 r nnd thousands of men etood up back of Ihu rows of chairs. One unique feature of the light was the fact that for the , IIrat time In Iho history of pugilism , the management of the club throw open ihe < leers to women , nnd btncral hundred were in nttend- nnco tonight , some of them gray-haired matrois , whoso enthusiasm on 'the subject has led them to venture beyond the bounds ot conventionality. One hundred police and aa many more special olllceru were In attend ance , und a hundred ushers , all In cvcn- Before take Aycr's Pills , nud you will sleep better nnd wake in better condition for the day's work.

LOUR ucforo the fighters appeared In the ring , a solid mass of humanity wno banked In from ono end of the pavilion to the other. There was no lack of enthusiasm at anv stage of the flRht , and notwlthstand- Ins the long delay before the actual "event of tln > evening" occurred , there was nothlnu hut the greatest good nnture prevailing everywhere , and there was not the slightest ' sign of a disturbance. Several preliminary events preceded the chief event and It was i very late when Kltzslmmons and Sharkey . I appeared In the ring. One ot the most I noticeable differences In the men was In regard - | gard to telght , Fitzslmmona being 5 feet , 11 % Inchra , and Sharkey , 5 feet , SVi Inches. Kach of the men weighed about 17o pounds. The seconds for FlU&lmmons were .Martin Julian , Dan Hlckcy and Jack Selzncr. For ' Sharkey , Qcorgo Allen , "Australian Hilly" Smith and Danny Ncedham. Wyatt Earp , the famous Arizona otngo driver , who has figured In many a gun light on the border , was chosen referee latu this afternoon. COMING OF T1IU GLADIATORS. It was fully 9 o'clock bcforo the great crowd began to makci an Impression on the vast amount of vacant scats. Outside of the pavilion stood a crowd estimated at 10,000 , which commence. ! to assemble as early as 0 o'clock. It Is estimated that the National club took In at Icaht $40,000 at the box otlice. I At 0 o'clock , before three-riuarteis of the j snats were Illlcd , the preliminaries were , called and a number of local celebrities ox- hlblted their prowe&s. Hairy Stcfford of New Orleans and John Howard of San Francisco caino up for a three-round go. Lou Agnew of Chicago and Fred Slullor of San Franj Cisco , llght\\eights , In a ten-round contest i were the next attractions. It was a rattling good light from the call of time. Mullcr ; mnilii a good showing until the fifth round , when Agnew knocked him down several times. The call of tlmo saved him , but ho lasted only about a half mluuto In the sixth , when a succession of smashes on the jaw , put Mullcr out. It was 10 o'clock when the event of the evening was announced. The crowd cheered j 1 and the cheers became a roar when the gladiators appeared. Fltzslmmons bhouc.l I up fresh and r"eelved an ovation. Sharkey appeared two minutes after FltzslmmoiiH nnd his welcome was equally as warm. Fltz slmmons chatted with friends at the ring side as if a hard fight were not on his hands. When Sharkey entered the ring Hob walKcd across the ring and shook hands cordially with the sailor and his seconds. Doth men wuro enveloped In long bath robes , which they throw off before putting on the gloves. 1'ANTHUH ALONGSIDE OF I1KAU. It was then the disparity In the build of the two men was plainly seen , F1U- ftlmmons , lean and long nnd tilnowy , looked like a panther , while Sharkcy , stocky and sturdy , with his Immense muscular develop ment , resembled a grizzly bear. Sharkey wore a green sash , with red , ulilto and blue Irimmlngs. Ills rlsht hand was ban daged Fltzslmmons waa Introduced as chninplon of the world , which received a huul of approval. There was little delay before Heferce Karp appeared. Announcer Dan Jordan an nounced that owing to rumors of crookcd- nctvi , Martin Julian refused to accept Knrp nh referee. Julian says lie suggested sev eral men to SharUey'A backers this morn ing , but all were rejected. He says a Ssn Francisco nportlng man had come to him today and said a referee had been selected who Intended to give a decision against hla man. This statement > vas received with biases and Jeers. Karp made a speech , denying Julian's statement , Buying ht wai , BfUiare. Then Dan Lynch. Sharkcy'u backer , said Sharkey had lived up to every artlclo In the agreement , and was bore ready to fight with the referee selected by the National club , as per agreement , the inen't ) backers having failed to agree on a rcfcrco prior to 13 o'clock today. During all the arguments Sharkey nnd Fitz. < ilminon& sat iincomicrncdly lu their corners , ap parently oblivious , Announcer Jordan announced that Julian was ready to take any referee In the house except Harp. Then there was omt marc consultation , while the crowd howled "Karp. " Jullau'a charge against Karp waa p. BUT- prise , as the Arizona man has always enjoyed - joyed a nplendid reputation ait a riuarr aport. Fltznlminonn enys ho hua given up to his rcferro In all his fights and would give In to this. Then ho stripped off his bath robe and added that he would Insist that Shorkoy take the bandages off his hands cs he had none on his. Sharkey had on his - i gloves , but continued to tie his gloves , and I paid no attention to Fltzslmmons' demand. Hut the referee walked over and examined the bandages complained of , and Sharkey then removed the objectionable articles. The men entered the ring at 10.39. O1M3N WITH EX1311OY.
