The Great Pusilist Gives His Views TO
the New York World.
NEW ORLEANS, July Q, lss9.-To
the q. fitor of the New York World:
Kii-atn, to Try MAD, WAS, or looked,
in far better CONDITION than Sullivan.
Snliivan was far 100 FAT for my liking,
but was certainly very strong. Indeed,
his stomach must have been in excel
lent shape, or he could not have lasted
az he did. There was che time in the
fight would not have bet S25 To 500
on Sullivan. They were fighting about
three quarters of an hour when finally
Sullivan TOOK sick aud vomtted
in the ceu.re of the ring. KilratD,
through good nature or something
else. waited until Sullivan got through
vomiting. Ever after that Sullivan
seemed so renew his vigCr.
There is no denying that Kilrain got
some terrible punching over the heart,
and it was these blows that did the
business for him, and these only. Sui
livan. in my opinion, won this fight
through punching him over the heart.
! Now that the fgai is over, hons
estly confess that I thought kilrain
would win, but was no, prejudiced.
thought kilrain was far better
man. IL is trea he ,r,ed to punch
Sullivan, but his blows lacked steam.
, He did not seem ITO have COULD. nee.
9 He stood u terrible licking, and, l be-
h ll:eve, was willing 10 continue when the
S sponge was thrown up by Mike DJno-
!, van against Charlie M.tcheils wishes.
3 In fact, l don'i think Kiirain would
70 have fought so long, only for Mitchell.
Donovan was anxious to let it be
stopped long before 1t was. person.
ally heard Mitchell soy TO Donovan
= that Jake would die before he would
give up. ! think he called him don
. ovan) some name with this remark.
:, Sullivan's punching or his hard hi'
u ting is what sticks to him. He is n
3, wonderfully clever stopper also for Il
y big man. He rushed the fighting ali
40 through. He could not iaDd on XII
~ rains head efStc.ually, const quently
y he put his mind en- Ki!rain's heart
~ aud kept i: up until he licked him.
w The spectators could not see or under
nc stand W hat kiirain suffered by be.ng
hit 80 often in the left side. l, is only
a man who has been "there" who can
ng appreciate it.
he Snll;van's Shoes were torn up p city
DIS well by being spiked.
yer In regard to fouls, both men were
up guilty--one each. K:lran was thrown

face, neck and breast with MS knees

ich Iu general L would judge thcm tn b
tics equal in wrestling.
liar Ik'lrsin went down several tim
without blow. When he would sto
