There is very little betting because a
number of Sullivan s friends are afraid to
back him because of his broken arm. They
say, however, that kilrain will not stand
up against him for six rounds unless his
broken arm should fsil him On the
other hand, Kilrain's friends believe he can
beat Sullivan, provided the fight is not a
hippodrome.

will leave town on the same train with
Sullivan tomorrow, when he expects to
leave. John certainly looks well-a hun
dred per cent. better than he did when he
was here about month ago. There is not
particle of supertluous flesh about him,
and his general appearance indicates that
he Is in Inc best of health. The chances
seem strongly in his favor. John himself
is confident of victory, if the fight is fairly
conducted and it is evident that he will
make it hard fight for his opponent.
