NASHVILLE, Tenn, May AT the
Grand Operahouse tonight Enos Phillips,
of this city, a boy about nineteen years
old, weighing hardly over $50 pounds, un-
dertook to stand up before John L. Sulli-
van, the slugger, for four rounds, in re
sponse to the $1,000 challenge. Phillips is
wiry, muscular and plucky, and the local
champion. Sullivan seemed annoyed be-
cause the challenge was accepted, and
punished the amateur lightweight unmer-
cifully. Phillips bore the punishment
manfully, however, and after being
crowded by the force of weight three
times into the wings, came back the fourth
time with his nose bleeding profusely.
Chief-of. Police Kerrigan here interfered
and carried the young aspirant for arenic
glory from the stage. VIM. Stein, local
slugger, who had proposed to meet Sulli-
van, weakened and refused to do so unless
the latter promised not to kill him. This
the champion of the world would not do.
Phillips then said he would tackle him to
save the reputation of the city.
