JAKE KILRAIN.
Facts Regarding the Man Who
Proposes to Fight Sullivan.
HIS RECORD AS A PUGILIsT.

Tho Coming Contest Is Likely to BE this
United States Under the Rules of the
London Prize Ring.
The fight for the pugilistic championship
OF the world between John L Sullivan and
Jake Kilrain Is probably the last that will
ever take place in tho United States under
London prize ring rules The spirit of the
age is against old fashioned fights, and il
boxing is ever winked at by tho authorities,
As It is now in many places, IL will be when
the mems hands are incased in padded box
ing gloves Even now many athletic clubs
only permit boxing under their auspices when
the referee has the power to instantly stop a
contest, when 1t is seen thatone Of tho boxers
Is 50 inferior to the other that to prolong It
would only be to subject the inferior man to
useless punishment
There is no such consideration for the fight
ers In London rule fights When u man who
fights under them enters a ring he knows that
In It he must remain until he beats his an
tagonist or is beaten by him As part OF my
journalistic work l nave reported in my time
twenty-nine executions and dozens OF prize
fights, and | never In my life saw a
twenty four foot ring built that 1t did not
in some way remind me OF a scaffold-
The stakes Of a ring are turned round
and are about eight feet long and are
sharpened to a point at the bottom.
Tho rules require that tho ring be pitched
on "a level piece Of turf" and when this is
found one OF the posts is driven about eigh-
teen inches into the ground by repeated blows
Of a heavy sledge hammer. This forms the
corner post, and when all are properly driven,
the four corner posts are usually stiffened by
guy Then a rope Is passed through holes
bored in the stakes about two feet above the
level Of the ground, until all arc encircled by
It When II is drawn as taut as possible, 1t
Is securely fastened and tho operation is re-
Peated near the top of the stakes, and when
the top ropo Is fastened the ring is complete
The work Is all done by volunteers who act
under the direction Of some experienced man
who is usually an old, retired veteran Of the
ring

The Atlanta Constitution complains of the
inferior quality of the attractions that visit
the south. 1t observes editorialy that while
it is true that not a season passes but a num-
Der of first class companies play here, it Is
equally true that in the south they are the
exception rather than the rule, and that, as a
whole, the books of southern theatres show a
very unattractive lot of bookings. The south

When the referee has been chosen he takes
his stand at ono of the center stakes of the
ring, with the time keepers at his side. Then
he orders the men and their seconds TO shake
hands as a token that there Is no enmity be-
tween them.
What a farce this viii be in the present
case, for each man hates the other with all
his might The men and their seconds obey
the mandate, advance to the scratch" In the
center OF the ring and shake six hands
across" Each trio then returns to its corner.
In a moment the referee asks, "Are you
readyF As soon as al affirmative response
has been received from each PRINCIPAL. he
calls Timer Instantly the men rise from
their chairs, advance to tho center of the
ring and put up their guards They stand
with their left feet extended, the balls only
OF their right feet touching the ground.
Each man has his left arm about half ex.
tended, with its fist about on a, Lowell with
his shoulder blade. The right arm Is held
nearer and ncross the body, the thumb of the
fist barely touching the left breast, the fore
arm guarding the pit of the stomach. Each
mar works his arms back and forward with
piston like motion as he endeavors to find an
opening in his opponents guard which will
enable him to strike a blow. Sometimes this
.'fddling, I" as 1t is technically called, is kept
up for several minutes, the men circling
around each other like panthers eager TO
make a spring.
Suddenly they come together like q pair of
game cocks and with lightning like rapidity
each showers blows on the other. II the
rally" Is a sharp one the ''thump," ''thump,n
'thump" OF their clenched fists can be heard
for fifty feet Sometimes the men tempo
rarily separate or 'break away" after a
sharp exchange of blows of this kind, and
sometimes they clinch and struggle for a fall.
In either event the spectators soon have an
opportunity to take stock of the injury done
by each Sometimes a man Will come out of

a lump on his face or ribs as big as q goose
