FAMOUS JOHN L.
ARRIVES HERE
Ex-Champion Comesto Free
land in Private Car.
Sullivan Tells a Tribune Re
porter About His Show
and Picks Jeffries as Win
ner in Coming Big Fight.
The 9.12 Lehigh Valley train from
Mauch Chunk this morning steamed
into the Freel&nd station on time. At
tached to the regular train was the
private car hearing George H. Down*
ing's Vaudeville Company, headed Igv
the former pugilistic champion, John
L. Sullivan.
After the car had been detached from
the train and put on the siding here a
Tribune representative went to the
car to see the big fellow. When usher
ed Into his presence he found the great
lighter of other days, the once formid
able walloper of men, the man whose
gaze was sufficient to frighten nine out
of ten would-be champions into a fit of
ague, comfortably seated playing a
game of solitaire, evidently trying to
beat himself.
Whon introduced he took tho proffer
ed band of the reporter in a friendly
grasp, and gave him a warm welcome.
After introducing him to other members
of tho troupe he spoke very highly of
Freeland as he remembered it from his
previous visits here.
"How do I like the theatre business?
Oh, it's an old story with me. I have
been behind the footlights ofT and on
far the past dozen years, and I feel
quite at home on the boards. Now
inind you I don't pretend to bo an act
or. I never saw the prize fighter yet
who was a good actor, and I do not be
lieve actors would make good prize
fighters."
THINKS JEFFRIES WILL WIN.
When questioned about the coming
fight between Jeffries and Fitzsimmons,
Mr. Sullivan said:
"It's Jeffries for a certainty. That
young fellow is altogether too big for
Fitzsimmons, and although there is no
question but that the old boy will give
him the fight of his life, Jeffries ought
to win without much bother. He has
got a tremendous advantage over Fitz
simmons In both youth and weight.
This JefTries is barely 27 years old and.
in good fighting shape, will scale nearly
225 pounds. Fitzsimmons, according to
good authority, is nearly 47 yoars old
and will weigh under 175 pounds.
"No man in the riogcan hit harder
than Fitzsimmons, but Jeffi les can hit j
just as hard. Again, "Fitz" will not be
able to get in any fine work on Jeffries'
body. That young fellow manages to
keep his stomach well under covor with
that famous crouch of his, and 'Fitz'
will be a thousand times foxier than I
give him credit for he is able to con
nect with the boilermaker's lower works.
And it is in the most stomach that
'FitzV blows count most.
"You road of Fitzsimmons putting
away a man with a punch on the jaw,
while Jeffries may have hit the same
man on the same spot a number of
timps and not put him out, and you
would wonder how it is. Clear as day
light. Fitz just delivers a few hot wol
lops Into the otkor fellow's stomach, has
him seasick in a minute and makes him
a ready recipient for a sleep producer
on the jaw.
"If Fitzsimmons could got one or two j
of his blows on Jeffries' pantry there j
would be a new chantpon in about two
minutes, hut as I said Jeffries is right
onto his job and it would take a sheriff
with a search warrant and a dark lan
tern to find out where bis stomach is
located in a fight."
SOME REMINISCENCES.
Speaking of the old days in the fight
ing ring Mr. Sullivan said: "Why,
nowadays ordinary dubs, who don't
know enough about the game to last
them over night, come in for purses
twice as big as the best men of our
day fought fur. Yet they can't bo sat
/Your, faith r£rS\
ours if you try.

isfied to pick up all this easy money
but have to 'fake.' Take my word for
It, that awful fake that Corbettand Mc
i Coy pulled off that sultry August even
ing, put a damper on the game for a
i long time in New York and that was
not Lhaouly fraud pulled off in that city,
either."
The big fellow is looking splendid
and, as he says, is behaving himself in
his old age.
The show has by special engagement,
to play tbe one-act version of "Uncle
Tom's Cabin," C. H. Russell, as "Uncle
Tom;" Griff Williams, as "Marks;" Pat
rick Francis Benson, as "The Auction
eer;" and the only John L. Sullivan as
"Simon Legroe." In this production
Mr. Sullivan gives tbe piece as it
should be and was produced in the old
original show. Iu this piece "Simon
Legroe'' is killed by "Marks," the law
yer.
Every one 9houid turn out and give
the big fellow a royal welcome. All
notices given by the press iu towns where
this company has shown indorse every
act as beiug above tbe standard.
Peaceful Settlement Likely.
The following la from thta current
Issue of the United Mine Work
ers' Journal:
"The anthracite situation Is cloarlng
np. Through the superb generalship of
President Mitchell aud District Presi
dents Duffy, Nlcholls and Fahey the
onus of a strike, if one occurs, will rest
upou the operators. This insures the
good will of the public on tho side of
the miners. Agaio the Civic Federation
has shown that It is a mighty factor
for good in an industrial war. That
fact can not be gainsayed
"lty Its efforts a truce Is declared for
thirty days, during which time reason
will have had time to work out Its course
upon the operators and cause them to
see that there is nothing but justice in
the claimsof the miners. Reflection will
have bad time t> cool the abrupt anger
of the coal kings and cause theui to view
matters lo a different light and be
convinced that their "take it or leave
it" is not calculated lo insure that peace
and harmony necessary to successfully
conduct business whoro there are two
parties necessary to that success.
"The operators are to be congratulat
ed upon taking their first step in that
direction. Tho ice has been broken
and the rest will come easy. Personal
contact with Messrs. Mitchell, Fahey,
Nlcholls and Duffy without doubt con
vinced them that they had formed mis
conceptions of those four gentlemen;
that they were dealing with men with
cool beads and clear Ideas; that they
were not rash, ignorant or radical, but
plain, sbrewod, hunest men who sought
only justice and who would neither take
or give less. On tho face of affairs
there will be no clash In tho anthracite
region unless the operators refuse to bo
guided by common sense."
Will Appoint Inspactor.
Tho acceptance of the position of
general manager of the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company In tho Lehigh region by
Mine Inspector W. 11. Davles will cause
a vacancy which will be filled by ap
pointment, not by election, as many
miners aud othors seemed to beliuvc the
new law duiuands.
Mr. Davles was appointed mine in
spector last September for a term of
five years. His office was filled under
the provisions of the old law and his
successor, it Is asserted, will be named
uuder that act.
