to trip lightly up the stairs of the platform.

Murphy was timekeeper for Sullivan, and
Charles Smith timekeeper for Ryan. Five
minutes went by before the men took their

THIRD ROUND.
was a regular slugging match. Sullivan
being in better wind forced the fight from
the start, but both men showed signs of
heavy punishment. After the third pass,
Sullivan got in a terrific right-hander
on Ryan's jaw, which sent
him spinning to the ropes, making
clean knOck-dOWn. The blow
ratified Ryan so that it was with some
difficulty that he staggered to his feet. He
shook himself together, and in dazed way
led off with his left for Sullivan's face.
The latter stopped it prettily, and then re-
peated his right-hander on Ryan's
law. The blow was so violently
struck and well directed that Ryan
went down as if shot out of a cannon. 1t
was a knock out of the cleanest kind.
RYAN laid on the floor utterly unable to
move. The police rushed in but it
was too late. There was nothing
for them to 90. The fight was
ended. When time was called Ryan was
still on the floor Sullivan then stopped
down. raised him up and carried him to his
corner. The crowd quickly dispersed amid
shouts for Sullivan.
