between Jack FRllon and the ~. Joe
Kid-The Y. VI. G.. A. Athletic Meeting.
From the testimony of both Sullivan and
Kilrain men who we're present at tho greot
fight, il would appear that that willy English
man. Charley Mitchell. comprised Kilr1un's
defea' quite as much rs the Boston ~slugger.
If the stories told are true, aud there seems
no reason ut all to doubt them, as they are nil
alike, Mitchell was treacherous and mean to
u degree that seems lncomprchensible.
Still moro incomprehensible. however, is
KIlrain's great friendship for a man who
treats him rs Mitchell IL said to have done
all. through the term of t~rnining--if poor
Jake can be said TO have had any training.

That long-talked-of meeting at the Troy
