his way and danced around the big man
In most aggravating manner. Sullivan
was evidently getting mad, but Hearld's
face was as expressionless as q white
washed fence. John could not stand 1t any
longer. He made one of his famous
rushes and sent fearful Highlander In
rapidly on the chest but got another one
in the nose that sent him flying half across
the ring But the Philadelphia was not
there to be thrashed without
struggle and he was back again banging
away at the champion with but little
effect certainly, but with remarkably good
intentions. There was no doubt now
about the character Of the contest. Sulli-
van meant TO knock out his man II he
could. The two fought wind for perhaps
a minute and then clinched. There was
some desperate lighting and Heard was
forced over the ropes. The referee cried
"break away" but there was no break
away In 1t now, TO the maddened fighters
and amid the yelling Of the crowd the
pugilists were pulled apart by their at
tendants who forced them struggling into
their chairs. The time of the round was
two and three-quarte- minutes.
Heard shook himself and laughed
while he 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 mad
He had evidently found more powers OF
resistance In the Philadelphia boy than he
expected.
The second round opened with cautious
sparring; Sullivan was wary and Heard a
little apprehensive OF the giants rush.
This time Heard was the attacking party.
He had made up his mind that he must
fight, and was determined to do mis-
best. He tried to get at Sulllvan's face,
but hit short. In al instant he was in
the embrace OF his antagonist, who
pounded his head, face and neck with all
his force, until Heard slipped away
and gave Sullivan drive under
the eye that was the only clear blow he
got In on the champion. The latter
seemed to stagger for an instant, and was
apparently too surprised to do more than
protect himself from the blows that
Hearld was showering on him. Sullivan
was soon on his guard, then he
gathered himself for supreme effort and
with an upper cut under the chin sent
Heard fat on his back, clear
knockdown. Hearld was up like
10 fash and they clinched.
Tie fight now became mere rough and
tumble. Heard slipped and fell again,
when the chief of police and his officers
rushed in and with difficulty separated
the men.
All was confusion, the pugilists were
both anxious to go on, and If the officers
had not kept between them would have
fought with the police on the stage. Sulli-
van made dash at the representative Of
New York paper, the latter reached
towards his pistol pocket, but the police
disarmed him and forced Sullivan into u
chair.
The referees then declared Sullivan
the winner, while Hearld's hacker pro-
tested that his man was still anxious to
fight.
| Sullivan then addressed the press
representatives in which he complimented
Hearld for his pluck and boosted of his
own "talent' and declared himself still
ready to defend his title Of champion
against all corners.
1t WAS the opinion tonight that Hearlt
made better stand than Mccartney a
Cincinnati.
The crowd dispersed and the pugllisti
were driven to their hotels. Sullivan
says Heard stands no show against him
that having whipped Heard he will pay
no more attention to him.
