Oh, the summer! * * Discussing the recent bout between Corbett and Sharkey, John L. Sullivan said: ‘‘ The public is likely to get a false notion about Sharkey because Corbett failed to knock him out in four rounds. 1 do not think that Sharkey is anything like a first-class fighter. He did not show it at all, and he only made an effort to fight when Corbett’s wind was gone. Now, in undertaking to knock a strong man out in four rounds, there are many things to consider. The man who undertakes the task has all the rushing and fighting to do, while the other.-man is trying to keep out of the way and practically doing nothing else. Four rounds of this kind of work is equal to a half-hour’s good fighting of the ordinary kind.
