| AeAiNsr MITCHELL FOR NEGLECT OF KrLkAlN.
Both Kilrain and Sullivan are on their way
north and east There were rumors in st.
Louis and Chicago yesterday that Kilrain had
died on the train; but they were found to be
untrue. Little Rock, Ark, dispatch says
that Kilrsin passed through that city yesterday
afternoon and that the Baltimore boy was very
sick, and from all appearances he was badly
used up. The fact that he from ring
punishment could not be better illustrated
than by noticing him when he attempted to
put on his coat This was difficult, and was
not accomplished without the assistance of
Mitchell, who carefully helped him on with it
Mitchell was not careful enough, and when the
/ coat was being pulled off it was noticed that
the pugiist WINGED as if in great pain. Kill
| rain said that he had been licked but not
fairly. and intimated that he would take the
| tight up ut the seventy-sixth round at some
| future time. He said if the fight had come off
the day before he would have made better
showing. He made no complaint, however,
| only that he was not at his best
| The following dispatch was received by Mrs.
kilrain, in Baltimore. last night from Charlie
! Mitchell, dated Jack oaville, Ark:
place no reliance in any reports you hear.
| Jake Is well and being taken good care Of"
SULLIVAN ELUDEs MIssIssIPPI's GOVERNOR.
There was an attempt by the governor of
Mississippi to secure requisition for Sullivan
and his party, but the pugilists left New Or
leans on special train and ran through Mis-
| sissippi without stop until Grand Bay Mobile
| county, was reached, where a special car
awaited the regular train from New Orleans
| and was coupled on and reached Mobile at
O'Clock. After wait of half an hour the train
| pulled out for the north via Montgomery. Sui
| livan was lively and rather talkatiye, and
| looked as if he had been trying to handle
| hive OF bees without gloves. Otherwise he was
perfectly natural. Sullivan was much excited
when informed OF the rumor of Kilrains death,
and every effort is being made to prevent any
dispatches being sent as to his movements,
route, DC. The party were very uneasy, fear
ing arrest. They did not know whether there
was any truth in the rumor or not, and seemed
much at sea as to what course to pursue. Sui
livan said he undoubtedly punished Kilrain ter
ribly, and looked as if the rumor was no sur
prise to him.
GOSSIP OF THE SPORTS.
large number of sporting men who had
witnessed the fight reached Cincinnati yester-
day, and the general sentiment among both
Kilrain and Sullivan men was that Kilrain was
not himself, and that he had been miserably
trained. They were undecided whether the
cause of this was that he was not sound phys
ically or that Charlie Mitchell had been care
less. One New York man said that the cause
OF kilrains defeat was that Sullivan hit him
too hard and often. Pony Moore is credited
with having said after the fight that he did not
know before that Kilran was eur" Moore
was always friendly to Kilrain. The fact that
Pony Moore, after all his buster. failed to bet
dollar OF the $4,000 which he said he had to
back Kilrain, leads to the belief that he had
the tip as to kilrains condition. Mitchell re-
ceived considerable censure from those on the
train for his thoughtlessness. 1t is said Sulli-
van has given his belts to Charlie johnson, but
1t Is the general opinion that johnson virtually
owned them before the fight The champion
ship belt is not personal.
The tight was not all a winning for Charlie
johnson, he having lost roll of 81 200 out of
his pocket. 1t is said Kilrain should now make
match with Jack Ashton or Pete Jackson to
get his reputation back.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF THE FIGHT
Frank Stevenson gives the following as the
financial statement of the fight: Receipts Sl2-
900; expenses, 81, 9O0 railroad expenses ST. 100;
percentage for selling tickets, $500. Thirty
per cent of the receipts went to the managers
to be divided share and share alike between
Sullivan and Kilrain. About SC, 600 were left
Harding and Stevenson, who represented
Richard h. Fox's interest i'll the fight, both say
that Kilrain should have advised them of his
physical condition. The Sullivan representa-
tives called on Stevenson and Kilrain the night
before the fight and proposed that they 60
back to New Orleans and charter train, and,
taking ten men side, 60 off to another point
and fight This would have given Stevenson a
chance to have gotten out of the affair, and he
could have thrown the blame on the Sullivan
side, they having made the proposition but
kilrain said, mo, have come here to fight,
and / intend doing it." The result was his
defeat.
THE STORY OF THE DRU6GINa.
The story that a man in New Orleans says
| that he saw party drug the water in Kilrain's
corner receives but little credence from the
talent, though the fact that he says he will give
the name Of the man who did the act if Charlie
Mitchell will ask for it, and that he does not
believe that Mitchell will ask for his name,
gives the story some coloring. Sullivan's fight
ing with pulled and sore hands won the admra-
| ton OF everybody, and while there still few
who say he will quit, there are many more who
became convinced after the fight that he is a
slayer, punishment or not. Although there are
many who cast opprobium on Charlie Mitchell,
they one and all agree that to Mitchell is due
the credit for prolonging the fight, and that
kilrain would have done better had he kept
| away more even than he did Stevenson has
kllrains share of the money, and he says he
will not pay it over to Jake until the latter has
had time to consider matters and place it where
1t Will do the most good In Kirain's present
frame OF mind he might give it away.
THE FEELING IN BALTIMORE
is very strong against Mitchell, and Kilrain's
friends say that the Englishman must explain
ius dPpdIeht neBlect OF MS principal, D0th De-
fore and during the battle. John T. Norris,
the detective, who claims that Mitchell owes
him 1900 for services he was engaged to per-
form, but did not get the money or opportunity
to earn 1t, has, it is understood, gone to jack
son, Miss. to get Gov. Lowrey to give him
warrants for the arrest of Mitchell and Kilrain.
He is an ndefatigable officer, and hates being
played for a fool as much as he does losing the
money he claims was promised him.
sULLIvAN's FUTURE MOVEMENTS.
Sullivan will be given receptions in Boston
and New York, and in the latter city he will be
made the star OF great athletic entertainment
that Arthur Lumley and James Mutrie are GO
ing to give at st. George park, Staten Island.
After the hurrah is over Champion Sullivan
will settle down, it is thought, to rake in the
shekels that success has started toward his
Golfers. He will do this by going on an exhi-
bition tour throughout the country, accompa-
MED by his trainer Mike Cleary. He and
Cleary will spar, and where sparring is not
allowed he and Muldoon will wrestle. Jack
Barnett will manage
The following cablegram was received in
New York from London yesterday: Fleming,
Jem Smiths manager, to-day deposited with
