THE SECOND ROUND


opened with cautious sparring. Sullivan
meant war, and Herald was a little appre-
hensive ofthe giants rushes. This tune
Herald was the attacking party. he mao
made ND his mind that he must fight, ana
determined to do his best. he trled
to petat S%ulliyan's face, but hit short. IN
an instant he was in the embrace OF his
antagonist, who pounded him on the head,
face and neck, with all the force oil
his brawny right arm until Herald sup
ped away and gave Sullivan a drive under
the eve, that was the only clear blow he
got at the champion. The latter seemed
staggered for an instant, and was appar-
entity too surprised to do more than pro-
tect himselffrom blows that Herald was
showering on his guard. Then he gathered
himselffor a supreme effort and with an
upper cut under the chin, sent
HERALD FLAT ON HIS BACK
a clean knock down. Herald was up with
a flash and clinched. The fight had be-
come a mere rough and tumble. Herald
slipped and tell again, when the Chief OF
Police and his officers rushed in end In the
difficulty, separated the men. All was con-
fusion. The Dugilists were both anxious to
90 on, and if the officers had not kept be-
tween them would have fought with the
police on the stage. The audience Kissed
and cheered as the humOr took them, while
Manager Tom Hughes harrangued them
and tried to keep order. Sullivan made a
a dash at COmiskey, of the New York Tel
eQrdm, the time-keeper for Heard, and
COmiskey

for a revolver. The police disarmed him
and Sullivan was forced to his chair. Her
aid, in the meantime, wa being famed
and kept in condition, should there be
another round. The referee, Newell, an
nounced that Sullivan was the winner OF
the contest, and though Ed. Mallahan
tried to make him revoke the decision,
claiming what was indeed evident that
Herald was ready and anxious to go on
with the fight, Newell insisted on giving
the fight to John L. Sullivan
then stepped to the edge OF
the t~wenty-four foot ring and addressing
the press Representatives said:

Many of those who witnessed the con-
test tonight say that Herald made a bet
ter showing before the champion than did
DOminick McCaflrey in Cincinnati last
and the opinion was freely eX-
that Herald was
A BETTER MAN THAN M'CAFFREY.
About Herald's gamness there can be no
and that he lisa much more scien-
tific boxer than John l.. Sullivan is gem
orally allowed. The crowd left the hall i'll
q comparatively orderly manner
after Sullivan's speech. There is
talk about the fight
being resumed on a boat down the Ohio
river during the night, but it is hardly
probable that it will take place. The
fought has largely increased the
interest in the Herald-B radburn fight TO
take place at Geneva Park, near the city
next Saturday.
