Kilrain Talks About the Fight.
CHICAGO, July 15.-The following inter
view with Jake Kilrain. just previous to
his departure for the East last night. is
published here: The reporter called Kill
rains attention to the published state
ments that he was not in condition when
he went into the ring, and that he was ter
ribly bruised and battered up when he
came out of it. For reply Kilrain stripped
to the buff, and invited an inspection of
his body. A careful scrutiny of his body
and of his face failed to disclose any
wound, swelling or even discoloration. Kill
rain then said: Those reporters who said
] was badly hurt were fools. They raved
about Sullivan's Furnishing blows, and had
| my body nearly broken in two, my ribs
stove in. and 1 was injured internally so
that l could not live. If Sullivan is the
