of America His reign was very short
John l.. Sullivan succeeding him RYAN
won the title by defeating Joe Goss
after long battle in which eighty-seyen
rounds were fought. After this victory

manly, good-natufed pugiIist, but there
was not enough OF the brute in him for q
pugilist. When in front Of John l..
