The following account of the closing scene of the Sharkey-Schmeling fight is supplied by the special eorres- ! pondent- of the Sydney “Referee” : When Schmeling had been carried to his corner, Joe Jacobs, Schmeling’s manager, Johnny Buckley, Sharkey’s manager, and a flock of seconds,,;;milled round Jimmy Crowley, demanding hig decision. Crowley had “mis- • sed” the foul, so he asked Howard j Barnes, one of the judges, if he had seen it. Before Barnes could reply, the bell rang for the fifth round. Sharkey rushed to the groaning Gerj man’s corner and challenged him to j “come out and fight,” Crowley paid no attention to either of the fighters, hut continued his consultation with ! Barnes. The latter was emphatic, i and claimed to. have seen the punch start and finish, and it was low. Chowley hesitated for «. full minute, while managers and seconds gripped and tugged at him, clamouring for a decision in favour of their particular man. Crowley jerked himself free, and went to a neutral corner, where, after pondering awhile, he scribbled on a slip of paper and hnir’ed it, to announcer Joe Humphries, who elnrioned : “Schmeling winner on a foul in the fourth” A New York cable message states that 72,•CT0 v«»<»nV witnessed the fight between Sharkey and' Sohmoling. and that the gate receipts'were 740.000 dollars. Each fighter received 26 per cent, of this sum. which works out in English money, at something like £37,000 a man.
