rooms 81 the National hotel and ran-
sequently in laxative mood. sullivan s
about the poorest lSghter that has entered
tae prize RAG IN resent years
II mean by this that Sullivan depends
entirely upon bis russaes and his enormous
strength. and knows nothing ahout using
his bead. or in other words what are
termed she tactics OF The prize ring. He
has always been glove fighter, and sitter
he has made several CT bis rushcs and finds
that his man Is not whipped he rises on his
! nptoes and stares ACROSS the ring al him in
absolute establishment
He has confidence in himself, bat il IS
the sort Of eoniideRee that leads hin 10 be-
heye everyone he goes againStis b0cnd 90
go down before him Ia q very few minutes.
and If they do nos do this Sullivan
wonders what manner Of man his antagc-
mist Is and becomes discouraged az once.
his Was the difficulty | found ct Rich
burg. Sullivan was simply assounded By
hiirain's endurance and gAmencss, and
without showing any lack Of courage he
undoubtedly believed that he had met a
| tighter OF = different character than any he
had gone against before and il puzzled him.
Why, that feiloE Is getting fFesheF ali the
time, he said 70 ME several times during
the fight. as he stood looking 81 kilrain
across the ring. You're ali right. John,'

Il merely tell you this" Mnldoon con-
ttnued, TO show you the character OF sal
hgan's mind, and do not mean to ins4n-
uate that kisyain had any show OF whip
ping sullivan. Az 3 fact he could not have
won the fight II he had been armed with a
baseball bat ! say this not from any de-
sire to take credit 10 myself. bat because il
Is an absolute fact apparent 70 every one
present Al the fight.
Sullivan was In such condition that ID
was impossible for Kilrain 10 knock him
out he vas ready for rushing eight or
for lang fight Of tive hours or three hours
| If necessary, and was bound to win II be
simply kept his head That Is where Sulli-
van Is weak. He is inclined TO lose his
temper and try 70 do his man in enc round,
= very foolish proceeding when be has such
an antagonist rs kilrAin proved himself to
be.
II do net think ever saw such game
determination In ring as was shown BY
karain. He looked confident and deter
mined when he entered the ring, and he
wore the same expression long after il was
plain 70 every one bat hiInself that he
could not win the fight andsthis with the
poorest attention that man could have.
rs IL true that Sullivan tried 10 get away
from you and 20 on a spree while In New
orleansf"
,Yes, he gave rae lots OF trouble Yon
see sullivan had an idea that the fight Was
going to be an easy one for him, and had
kept aim working pretty hard for two or
three months, so that be was getting tired
OF it. / hAd never left him from the time
be came TO my place until the night before
the fight. but had always kept him in my
sight On the night before we started for
the battle ground / vas 30 broken down
with work, watching and anxiety that felt

be no good for the next day. Sullivan
complained Of feeling lonely, and before ]

~ did not suspect anything. but had
hardly fallen asleep when Murphy lefs tina

act Of handing the bottle 20 Sullivan when

startled into such fit OF anger In ny life

the bottle from him. and raised IL over my
