A gentleman who witnessed the fight with
sullivan said yesterday: when Sullivan
Knocked kilrain down and then turned TO 90
away, but on second thought turned and jumped
with both knees on Kilrain's neck and body,
there was a cry of foul from all corners of the
ring; Had Mitchell been in Kilrain's place he
would have lain still and failed to answer time
on the call, and had the referee given the fight
10 sullivan everybody would have known that
sullivan knocked his opponent out with his
knees instead of his fists. Instead OF Mitchell
advising Kilrain TO be still, he did everything
In ms power to make.the referee think the foul
had not hurt his man, and showed Kilrain up to
the scratch for the next round"
