DIR. Wsinright, who is physician of re-
pute in Philadelphia, said; 81 WAS very
much surprised at the publication, for it
is absolutely false, though founded, ad-
nit. on fact. We went out to the beer gar
deu and sat down. Some one ordered q
round of beer, and told Jake that he
could take a glass if he wished to, as did
not think it would hurt him. thoughta
glass might do him good. He took glass
of the beer and slipped the liquid. Ee 10
in excellent trim this morning, and his iu-
terror arrangements are in the best Of or
der"
"But even if he only took one glass and
slipped it." said well-known physician,
who is also a splendid athlete, ''it was
inst as damaging as half dozsn glasses.
You can appreciate the condition of
PERSONS digestive organs who has gone
through the severe training necessary to
bring him down to 185 pounds from 900.
They are highly sensitive, and beer, the
most excitable of alcoholic stimoiants,
would certainly undo as much as weeks
work could have accomplished. 1t is GER
tainly strange advice for physician to
give"
SOLE TOPIC OF CoNyERsATIoN.
This fight is causing triple the excite
msnt that the SullivaE-Ryan ight seven
wears ago did. 1t is the sole topic of con.
versation on the streets in the bar-rooms
and cafes. Even the bell boys in the hO-
tells want to wager their small weekly
stinend ON the result. There is one OBJ
stacle in the way, however, and that is,
they can't place thsir money. 1t IS Sui
liyan city from the first foot of the river
levee to the garrets of the far off suburban
residences Everybody wants to bet on
Sullivan and 10 one wants the Kilrain end
of il. So that it is difficult TO get the
money on. Here is q little straw that IN
dicates how strong the wizd is blowing
Sulliyanward. Denny Butler, the swim
mer and fighter; Bill Harding, of the Police
Gazette. and Frank Stevenson, Of the Kill
rain party, visited the rooms OF the Olym'
pic Club night before last, and tried to get
nm an ovation for their man. Butler,
after short speech, proposed three cheers
for Kilrain. There was slight ripple OF
applause, but murmur OF disapproval al
most drowned it.
Afterward Mr.. GensliDger, prosperous
merchant of this city, who Is President oi
the club. made statement that there had
been an effort to ascertain who was the fa'
vorite with the club in the coming mill. Iu
order to give it fair test be would call for
an expression of opinion. DE hrst pro-
nosed three cheers for Kiirain. IheFe was
sor,a li.tlo applause. Next he sald: NOW,
s sSTee cheers for Sullivan" The roar that
followed was deafening, and the rafters
fairly shook; hats and umbrellas were
thrown in the air, and four or five OF these
useful articles of wearing apparel were lost
and broken in the excitement that followed.
This shows that Sullivan has the town at
his back.
In spite of the swelterins heat and mus.
quitoes, which can give the Jersey kind
points in the gsme when II comes to bitiog,
the big champion, John L. Sullivan, put
in a splendid night. He dses not know the
me,nine of the word nervousness and, al
though on the eve OF battle that means
life or death to him pugilistically, Is as
stolid as Sioux Indian drawing six dsys
ration of fire water. BE was up at 6 O'Clock
this morning, and after a two mile SPIN
over unfre9 9uented streets returned to his
boarding house and ate substantial break
fast He dispatched four rare mutton
ehous. a big pot of tea and half dczen
slices of drg toast. He also drank bottle
of Bass ale. He then sat down for an hour
10 let the meal settle. About O'Clock he
crossed the street to the magnificent rooms
of the Young Mems Gymnastic Club.
LAW AGAINST PRIZE-FIGHTING.
The Attorney. General having said THAI
