SULLIVAN AND CoRBEIT EXCHANGE
VIEWS.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 27.-Corbett
and Sullivan had long talk Tues
day night. ~ was glad to see that
YOU came out ahead the other
night" said Sullivan. although l
WI Nd rather have had you lick the
CT in, even If l had not had a cent
IA the fight. How do you think
you would come out again with
him ?" asked the retired champion.
"Well / confidently think | could
whip Jackson in twenty or twenty
five rounds if we ever went ut 1t
again. In London prize ring rules
i am more confident that 1 could
lick him, because he, is not half sc
good at wrestling as his size would
lead you to believe. Whenever we
clinched / had no difficulty in
throwing him around near the ropes,
so as to leave me In the center of the
ring when we let go. But l saw
the club did not like clinching and
/ stopped it. What do you think
about Kilrain's chances with Sla-
VIM" "I think" said Sullivan,
"that Kilrain can stand him off for
eight or ten rounds all right"
