Hiilllvnn wuh In 'anil received $33 for his share. Today tho rankest ire.lltnliiniy hoy would tltrn up his noso at that amount. Times have cImhkimI ami few men are In tho boxtnR game today because they love It. John I.. never picked his opponents. Onco when challctiRcrs persisted In annoyliiR him he said to his manaRer: "Oo out and Ret the six best heavy vvclKht.s In tho world and I will box one every nlsht for n week, hcRlnnltiR Monday and flnlshim; up on Saturday." A flRhtcr would be considered crazy If he made such a state ment theso days.

Then If ho looks-like a soft mark tho inanaRor will ask for n Iiuro purso and Ret It. They take no chances with titles theso d.ijs Sullivan was tho last champion to defy the woild nnd meet all comers. WHUN John I,, lost to C'orbett ho never tried to make a come back. Ho was satisfied that he lost and never nRaln appeared In n. professional enRURcment. Another thltiR was that he did not hesitate to flht any ono who wanted to take a chance with hint. He always was confident nnd proud of his prowess and ho narred no one. Doesn't Jess AVIItard look swtet In comparison? Refused to Believe That Corbctt Knocked II im Out MANV stories have been told about the "noblest ltoman of them all," nnd most of them nre well known. John I,, held n pl.ico In the hearts of tho sportsmen that never will be filled. Ilvcry ono knew Knlllvan. Even tho women, who usually pay no attention to the fistic Rame, knew Who he was and reparded him as the superman of all time. lie was the last word In pugilism nnd for weeks lifter his defeat at the hands of Corbctt no ono would believe It. Sullivan's last appearance In the rliiR showed how popular he was with tho public. It was just befoio the Wlll.iril-Mnr.ii) bout was put on in Madison Siuure Garden and tho master of ceremonies Introduced the nota bles. Never before had so many famous hovers appeared In ono ring. Jim Corbctt. Hob ntzslmmons, Kid McCoy, Philadelphia Jack fVIIrlun. Terry McOovern nnd several others were well received, but when John 1,. Sullivan slowly climbed through the ropes the audience went wild. The old gladiator faced tho crowd with the old scowl on his f.ii'o. Ills whlto hair bristling llko that of n bulldog nnd his huge hands crushing his. slouch hat into a shapeless mass. No man ever received the ovation tendered to .Sullivan that night. It showed respect and admiration and loo. lohn I... "covered" tho UrIh for 11 newspaper that night. After it was all over he was asked for his decision. Itegardless of tho fact that Wlllnr.l outclassed Moran, .Sullivan said that Wlllaid had lost. ", "He's no champion," said the old man. "Ho couldn't stop a man fifty pound lighter than himself and should loso tho title." Sullivan always considered It a disgrace If an opponent lasted moro 1 than four rounds. Ho would stait In to finish his man and never let up until it was accomplished. The battle that almost broke his heart was with Charley Mitchell In Chnntllly, 1'rance, In 18&8. when, after thlrty-nino rounds of fighting on tho turf In a drizzling rain the affair was called u draw. John 1.,. wanted to finish his man that ouy. SUL, P LI VAN did not capitalize his mont for n coup,e of years'. He wanted to bo fighting all of tho tlmo and was tho only 'leal champion we ever havo had. He tried to bo an actor onco when ho appeared In a sob drama entitled "Honest Hearts nnd Willing Hands," but discovered that as mi actor ho was a great boxer and -jutt. John L. Had Sonic Experiences in Philadelphia TH13 cliamplon of champions tetlrcd fiom the boxing game more than twenty-llo years ago, so only a few of the old timers remember Ills work. He boxed several times In Philadelphia In tho olden das, but re cently had appeared here on the stage nnd lecture platform. On Ills last visit to this city he gave n monologue at tho William Penu Theatre and devoted his entire time In walloping Demon Hum. In 1881, however, Hulllvnu used his famous knockout punch on some of our local pride. .Ttmf liffYir tlw. T?t-nii flfvhf It l-nliritn.-i 160 Cni.n. t.-m. I.. 1,1.11 .

When tho nominating papers were announced A. I,. Hallstrom, head of the Jovian Illectrlcal f,eague. headed the ticket. A number of Mr Median's per- konal friends felt that ho was entitled to another term and n new ticket was presented by petition, hut when tho an nual election was held Mr Hallstrom and his associates were tho victors There was nothing personal In the fight for honors, and while tho members real Ized that Mr. Meelian had done a lot for the club, they believed a chango 111 tho presidency might provo henellclal. Mr. Hallstrom Is a hustler In his own business and Is full of pep' nnd ginger. He Is an enthusiastic golfer and teds that the course has not been developed ns It should have been. One of tho plans of the new mliolnlstrutlon will be tho floating of ji'u.uuu uonu issue to finish the dghtecn.hole course and to make other necessary Improvements.
