HINTS FROM THE HUB.
BOSTON, March 10.-Sporting men were
thunderstruck to-day when they heard the
news of the great battle. 1t was considered
beyond belief that Sullivan had faced the
Englishman for more than two hours and
! not knocked him out. It. was the unani-
nous opinion of Sullivan's warmest friends
in Boston that the result OF this battle
would discourage the champion. It con-
yinces them that the champions fighting
sport said tonight: IF Charlie Mitchell
can make as good showing as he did be-
fore John l.: Sullivan, Jack Dempsey can
lick them all''

Mitchell to be more careful. He has, we
must admit, fallen from his high estate
but his dethronement made man of him.;
