CHEYENNE AT THE BATTLE.
What Harry Hynds Thought of h
Heavyweight Fight.


Heavyweight Fight.
Harry P. Hynds. the Cheyenne man
who represented Wyoming at the big
ring fight for the heavyweight Champion
ship and $40. 900 gives a graphic descrip-
ton of the notable mill.
Kilrain, overturned, but looking splen
didly gently tossed his hat into the ring
and crawled between the ropes. Sullivan
the superb marched up like an elephant
in hurry, slammed his head covering into
the enclosure and stepped over the ropes.
He looked fat and fierce. Each individ-
uals hair stood on end and the mug of
the gladiator would strike terror TO the
soul of a wooden Indian. Muscles stood
out in bold relief al over the giant Kill
rain paled at the sight Of his opponent
and everyone was surprised at the splen-
did condition of Sullivan. Early in the
fight the champion injured his hands by
striking Kilrain in the face. They
swelled to the size of boxing gloves and
were thereafter used only on Jake's body.
MIR. Hynds likens Sullivan's hitting to the
kicking of a mule. Each landing in the
region OF Kilrain's heart brought a vince
and grrnt of distress. The target became
raw. Sullivan's great fist seemed to sink
in Kilrain's body and had the fight con-
tinued much longer there would have
been a bloody orifce in the trunk of the
conquered man. Heavy as Kilrain was
he was raised from his feet and downed
by these blows. They did great damage.
Numberless times Kilrain lay on his back
and gasped.
When Sullivan was vomiting Mitchell
shouted: at i'm Jake; it the big duff
fer; e can't 'urt you" No; I'll not
fight while he's SICK was the response.
Sullivan was unloading the cold tea and
whisky, but he turned his head and
reared: come on; come; don't wait for
me-" When they were fighting again
Sullivan queried: "Why didn't you hit
me; I'm always ready to ight?' Then
he knocked Kilrain down. To Mitchell
he gave a wicked glare and said: II wish
l had you here in the center; your Eng
lush pup"
Kilraiu committed 70 less than twenty
palpable fouls. He kicked and spiked
Sullivan and went down again and again
without being touched. At a feint from
Sullivan he fell. Then he would run
away. Several times the Boston man
folded his arms and savagely inquired of
the referee: us this a fight or a fut racer"
and how can | lick a mar who runj
away and falls down all the time" Sui
Ivan fouled Kilrain a few times, but did
not hurt him. Once he threw himself on
his opponents PROSTATE form by advice
of Muldoon.
Every five or six rounds Kilrain would
rally and go at Sullivan hammer and
tongs. forcing him to the defensive. At
one time blood was streaming from Sulli-
vans two eyes and one ear. Then he
did look like a bloody warrior" says Mr..
Hynds.
Kilrain made a courageous fight and
spared cleverly, but was simply over
matched. The Cheyenne man believes it
impossible to produce a fighter who can
successfully cope with Sullivan, who
whipped Kilrain as he liked without
rushing. The defeated man protected his
neck and fought until he could stand no
longer.
Before the battle Sullivan, under the
restraint of Muldoon, behaved, but after
wards he became a disgusting animal.
Muldoon and Cleary, Sullivan's trainers,
did much Cor the big fellow, the former
making him perfect at wrestling and the
latter giving him valuable points on box
ing. They say that Sullivan is lazy and
that he never during the fitting walked
ten miles.
The spectators suffered f%earlully at the
ringside, where warm water was scarce at
10 cents a glass and food entirely absent.
The heat made many i'll.
