made several feints ut Herald but the lat

danced around the big man in most ag-
gravating manner. Sullivan was evident
ly getting mad but Herald's face was as
expreSsiOnleSs as white washed fence.
John could no stand it any longer. He made
one OF his famous rushes and sent fearful
night handler into Herald's stomach. Her
aid eountered rapidly but got another
one on the nose that sent him flying halt
across the ring. But the Philadelphlan
was not there to be thrashed without q
struggle, and he was back again banging
away Mt the champion with but little
effect, certainly, but with remarkably
good intentions. There was no doubt now
about the character of the contest. Sui

MEANT TO KNOCK OUT HIS MAN
If he could. The two fought for wind, for
perhaps minute and then clinched.
There was some desperate in-fighting and
Herald was forced over the ropes. The
referee cried Break away" but there
was no break away in the now maddened
fighters, and amid the crying of the crowd
the pGglliSts were pulled apart by
their attendents and forced struggling
into their chairs. The time of the round
WAS p minutes. Herald shook himself
aud laughed while ne was being sponged
and rubbed down. He did not look much
the worse for the rough handling he had
received. Sullivan was not hurt, but he
was very, very mad. He had evidently
found more powers of resistance in the
Philadelphia boy than he had expected.
THE SECOND ROUND
opened with cautious sparring Sullivan
meant war, and Herald was a little appre-
henSive ofthe giants rushes. This time
Herald was the attacking party. He had
made up his mind that he must fight, and
WAS determined to do his best. He tried
to getat Sullivan'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 of
his brawny right arm until Herald slip
ped away and gave Sullivan 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.

shOwering on his guard The lie gathered
himself for a supreme effort and with an
upper cut under the chin, sent

a clean knock down. Herald was up with
a flash and clinched The fight had be-
come q mere rough and tumble. Herald
slipped and tell again, when the Chief OF
Police and his officers rushed in and in the
difficulty, separated the men. All Twas con
fusion. The pugilists 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 hissed
and cheered as the humOr took them, while
Manager Tom Hughes harranSued them
and tried to keep order. Sullivan made 4

for a revolver. The police diSarmed him
and Sullivan was forced to his chair. Her
aid, in the meantime, was being famed
and kept in condition, should there be
another round. The referee, Newell, an
bounced that Sullivan was the winner of
the contest, and though Ed. Mallahan
tried 10 make him revoke the decision,
claiming what was indeed evident that
Herald was ready and anxious to 90 on
with the fight, Newell insisted on giving
the fight to John l.. Sullivan
then stepped to the edge OF
the twenty-tOur foot ring and addressing
the press repreSentivcs said:

Many of those who witnessed the con-
test tonight say that Herald made bet
ter showing before the champion than did
Oomiaick McCaffrey in Cincinnati last
spring. and the opinion was freely ex-
pressed that Herald was
A BETTER MAN THAN MCAFFREY.
about Herald's gamness there can be Nc
question, and that b. isa much more Sclen-
tifc boxer than John l.. Sullivan Is gen
orally allowed. The crowd left the hall IN
comparatively orderly manner
after Sullivan's speech. There Is
some talk about the hight
being resumed on boat down the Ohio
river during the night, but it is hardly
prohabie that it will take place. The
contest fought has largely increased the
interest in the Herald Bradburn tight to
take place ut Geneva Park, near the city
