SULLIVAN DISCONSOLATE-
THK BIO FKLLOW BEMOANS HIS FATE
AND TAKES TO DRINK.
It transpires that Sullivan after his
defeat began undoing all careful work
of training which he and his trainers
have been doing for weeks past.
Defeat and chagrin coupled with the
absence then of motive for further
training doubtless led the man to re
sume his convivial habits. Others
about him were drinking. No wo n-
der then that Sullivan dranlr Hi a
deep sleep next morning, as could be
-1 1 . .
seen, was me result ot potation?.
When he wakened that morning he
was taken over to the Gymnastic Club
and there he was kept until the time
when he should go with his people to
the train on which the homeward
iournev was to hecrirt at R-ia
Sullivan at A P. M. was attired in
bathing trunks and about to essay a
..T . . I . 1 1 . .
piuugc 111 mic (juoi. me great gianc
presented a pitiable spectacle. The
cut On his nose had been closed, hut:
the eyes were blackened, the whole
iace swouen terribly, on the lower
lip on the left side was a deep cut
still open, and with whitening edges.
The surfaces of the distended lips at
the center had been literally smashed
against his teeth by Corbett's blows.
To spread forth all Sullivan , said
would edifv no one and nnlv render
more pitiable the plight of the man,
wno inrougn twelve years has been
worshiped by the fistic world. He
said that which in sober quiet he
would not reiterate and which in his
present condition may not be put on
record as his deliberate views.
Sullivan lays greatest stress on the
fact that he could not reach Corbett:
the shifty lightening tactics of the new
cnampion worried and dazed Sul
livan. The f'.ilifornian rirrle.l and
circled, and kept Sullivan circling in
oraer 10 iace mm. The lrequent
whirling, the whirl of the lights and
the mazy swimming of thousands of
white and eager faces banked up on
all sides all these tended to confuse
and daze the big man of Boston.
He never had been so puzzled before.
The sensation was new. The lighten
ing, flash-like science of the younger
man was a revelation to Sullivan,
who in his best davs had never doss-
. . .
essed such ntiinltstie pigments
Than add ten years difference in age
and the conditions that contronted
him have been fairly stated.
"Uut l did not run away, the big
fellow almost sobbed. "Lock us un
in a room just lock me in a room
with him and see what I could do
with him."
Then he relighted the sodden nVar
which he held between his raw and
swollen lips. "But he licked me
ves. he did: he licked me. anil let it
go at that," he blurted. "I give him
an tne credit he wants, lie licked
me square enough, but I'm old, I am.
Let him go through what I have.
Let him knock 'em all out for
twelve years, and then see if he can do
any better than I did. But my
father and mother put some sense in
this (clumsily spearing at his temple
with a big index finger) and I know
when I'm licked. I do. Yes, he
licked the cliamnion. and now he's
champion. Let him take care of it ,
as good as I did, that's all. I ain't .
kicking." j
And so he rambled on, did the de
fe.ited champion. After awhile he
went to lie down in the club house,
and fell asleep. And how different
the attentions paid him now fiom
those hourly bestowed upon him hcrclc
lore. Then all his friends and
trainers were at his beck and call.
Each Hew to do his bidding and to
satisfy any wish. Now he was
alone among the kindly hearted
stringers at the club house. Hand
some Dan Murphy was about the
only one of the Sullivan outfit who
was attending the ex-champion.
Curious scrubbers in the bath depart
ment at the club house stared at the
unsteady fighter as he strolled about
the baths in his bathing trunks. He
was practically in keeping until the
hour when he should be gotten out of
town. Wakeley and Johnson and
Moran, his backers, where blocks
away and about the hotels, while
faithful Phil Casey was packing up
for the journey. Jack Ashton was
drinking in a party whose chief
occupation was admiration of Jack
McAuliffe, who was about the bar
room. Thus go the shifting fortunes
of pugilistic war.
