The tenth round was disastrous one
for >Kilrain. Sullivan delivered heavy
blows on Jake's chest, neck, ribs and
nose and finally sent him to earth.
III the thirteenth round Sullivan beat
kilrain all around the ring and finally
with heavy breast blow felled him like
an OK. ,.
at the opening Of the nineteenth
round the referee demanded that Kill
rain wash his hands as ne believed he
had rosin on them. Donovan protested
but Kilrain complied.
In the twenty-tourth round Kilrain
succeeded in giving Sullivan several
powerful breast blows, but before the
round ended he received in return one
in the neck which foored him and for .
moment he was thought to DO senseless.
In the twenty-eigth round Kilrain
came up smiling to tho scratch. easy,
little fellow he remarked to Sullivan
as the latter gave him singer in the
right cheek and an equally strong de-
livery in the left ribs. Several more
blows were exchanged, and Kilrain had
to drop again. The same story was now
repeated round after round, the excited
crowd yelling derisivsly and suggesting
that Jake ought to fight only woman.
It was apparent that Kilrain was deter
mined to be game as long as he could
keep OH his legs, but the crowd was not
in humor to admire his courage and
brute tenacity. Now and again he man
aged to get in some good blows on
various parts OF Sullivan's anatomy, but
he invariably dropped when 1t seemed
certain that retaliation was inevitable
In the thirty-fourth round blow be-
hind and under the right ear felled Kill
rain like an OK. There was some good
fighting in the thirty-fifth round, Kill
rain getting two tremendous upper
cuts that made the occupants of the
stand give vent to a prolonged "Oh."
In the thirty sixth and thirty-seventh
rounds Kilrain walked around too much
fos Sullivan's patience, and thousand
voices in the crowd yelled "Coward!'
1t was light touches on both sides, walk
arounds, clinching and dropping on the
part of Kilrain from now on. Sullivan
evidently pitied his opponent, for times
without number he gently pushed him
away with his open hands when he
could have delivered blows that would
have settled the mill then and there. In
the thirty eighth round the referee again
insisted that Kilrain should fight and
not walk around. Donovan objected.
but the spectators howled him down,
Sullivan delivered two terrific body
blows in this round and third in the
breast that sent Kilrain two feet back
wards to the ropes, where he fell in a
heap. In the forty-fourth round, when
Sullivan began to vomit, the Kilrainites
shouted to their man to 60 for
Sullivan in the belly. Kilrain could not
be persuaded, however, to put up his
fists until his opponent had indicated
his readiness to proceed. In return for
his consideration he got blow in the
neck that fellel him. So it went on
round after round, every one ending in
Kilrain going down. In the fifty-fourth
round Kilrain succeeded in getting in on
Sullivan's face, but the latter got Kill
rains head in chancery and pummelled
him to his hearts content. The next
round ended by Kilrain falling to the
ground completely exhausted while en-
deavoring to spar. Kilrain was knocked
down in the sixtieth round. In the
sixty second he wound his arms around
Sullivan until the referee was forced tc
tell him to break away, and Sullivan
himself urged Jake to be 8 man.
In the sixty-third he received telling
blow just under the heart and in the
sixty-iifth Sullivan went at him with 8
rush. In the next round the Boston
boy forced him against the ropes and
banged him right and left. In the sixty
seventh and sixty-ninth roundD he
Knocked him under the ropes, while ir
the sixty.eighth he sent in two frinhtfu
upper cuts. While falling in the sixty
ninth round Kilrain caught hold o1
Su!'ivan's logs. Somebody in the crowt
shouted out, Hes dying, John; hit hin
hard" Sullivan's only response was K
turn toward the direction from which
the voice came with look of disgust
From this on to the seventy fourth rounG
Kilrain dropped at the slightest move
ment OF Sullivan's fist. A breast blow
felled him in the seventy fifth and wher
time was next called he failed to rise.
Kilrain was toeing the scratch wher
Donovan threw up the sponge. He pro
tested that he was able to continue, bu
Donovan said there was no sense II
