Louisiana militia Called Ont
NEW ORLEANS, July IA K Ferris, ad-
jutant general OF thu state militia, arrived Ia
New Orleans and was driven post haste TO
the office of Capt A. II Behnam, oomman-
der Of the Louisiana artillery. He ordered
Capt Behnam 10 call out his company to pre-
vent tho Kilrain-Sulli fight taking placa
in the state OF Louisiana Ii Is said that Gov
ernor Nichols will not permit the inertnass
OF the sheriff 10 overcome his proolamation
forbidding the fight
Severe Training Abandoned.
Sullivan now weighs 202 pounds and severe
traing has beon abandoned, though he viii
take more exercise than an ordinary man
could endure. He rose at o'clock at 10
o'clock he went across the street with Mul-
doom and Cleary to the rooms Of tho Gym
nastic club and spent hours there that caused
the perspiration TO drip from him like rain.
No one was admitted TO see him work, except
half dozen of the friends who accompanied
him here and newspaper representative.
sully's Great Endurance.
A football filled with -four or meal, weigh
ing about twenty-five pounds, was tossed
from Sullivan 10 Muldoon aud back again a
distance u twenty-five feet, Sullivan receiv-
ing the heavy ball for forty minutes, with
out signs Of weakness Neither Muldoon nor
Cleary could stand the exercise long, SO they
alternated In receiving the bail and tossing
Il back 70 Sullivan every ten minutes Sulli-
van flushed perfectly fresh after his stand
against both OF them, ...
Richard Looked Himself Again.
Those who saw Sullivan hurl that ban with
velocity that made Muldoon stagger as he
received il, were reminded OF the John Il
sullivan Of Old. After two minutes rest
Sullivan began skipping the rope He skip
ped a thousand times without stopping Sui
Ivan is reported to be the only man who
ever accomplished the feat Then, after
minutes interval, came dumb boil exercise
In the Pink Of Condition
The various gymnastic feats we're repeat
ed again and again by Sullivan, causing
Cleary and Muldoon TO pant and blow, while
Sullivan scarcely breathed hard A little
ball punching followed. The foroe and
celebrity Of the blows amazed all who wit
messed them. Sullivan can hit as hard as
ever, and has lost none OF his old time light
ming rapidity Once he hit the ball 80 hard
as to split the tether. His friends say that il
he can get a couple Of those terrific right
handlers on Kilrain's head the fight will he
pretty near over. Sullivan is in the pink Of
condition-better than ever before in his life
He measures AZ inches around the chest, and
is as deep through from breast to back as he
is from side TO side There does not appear
70 be an ounce OF superhuous flesh on him
His flesh glows with the color Of health His
legs from the waist to the knee are the per-
fection Of symmetry; below the knee they are
not as perfect His calves are not developed
in proportion 10 the upper half of the leg
His bicaps measures l65S inches Altogether
his friends are jubiant over his condition
and predict an easy victory. Joe Coburn
says there is no doubt whatever that Sulli-
van will win; that he has seen him in all OF
his fights, but never in as perfect condition
as now.
Betting 10 to on the Big Fellow.
The opinion is quite general here among
the New York Sullivan party that If Kilrain
will stand up and fight, the fight win not
last over five rounds The betting is 10 to I
ON Sullivan. At o'clock Sullivan ate a
hearty dinner. AT 4 o'clock the party again
proceeded to the club room, where the exer-
discs Of tho morning were repeated Saturday
will be the last day of active training. Sun
day win be devoted TO absolute rest.
Kilrain Has Many FriepdA
The arrival Of Sullivan and the enthusiasm
Of his friends here does not dampen the ardor
OF kilrain's friends, whose numbers Seem to
increase. While the central portions OF the
city side with Sullivan, the upper sections
are largely in favor OF Kilraih At the
Southern Athletic club most OF the members
seem confident that Kilrain will win
Confident Rilrain win win.
Members Of the club, in support Of their
opinion, said that men like Billy Madden
Arthur Chambers and Dominick McCadrey,
all Of whom know both men well, would not
be found on the side Of Kilrain If they did
not know what they were doing. According
to reports received, Sullivan has not near the
wind that kilrain has, and he is, besides, en-
tirely too heavy about the hips.
Professor Dennis Butler is confident that
Kilrain win win. The Kirain party will be
met by party Of friends and escorted to
their headquarters.
Kilrain's Quarters
The rooms which have been set apart for
Kilrain are in building adjoining the club,
50 that he and his seconds will be able to en-
/ joy greater seclusion than do Sullivan and
his trainers, as they win not have to go into
tho street TO go to and from the gymnasium.
/ kilrain will remain in his quarters till he
