JOHN l.. sULLIvAN's CHAGRIN.
CHICAGO, LII. Jan. l5.-John l.. Sulli-
van could hardly believe the news OF Dem
sey'sueteat last night, aud the effect OF il
rendered him almost helpless. In an inter-
view when informed Of the result Of the
fight he said: 80 the blOke from the South
sea Islands licked Jack Dempsey, did hey
Well, that knocks me" When asked show
do You account for Dempsey's defeaty"
John l.. replied; GLOW do | account for il
You might a. well ask me to account for

things that can't be accounted gor. uL.
lerstOOd that Dempsey was uO' an II at any
stage. That makes il ali the harder. as h.
must have been in condition. n may be
like this.
DEMPSEY TRAINED TOO OFTEN.
I'D mpsey has been trained too often and
it is not the actual lighting bat the training
that breaks Il manup. All jacks lighting
have teen at weight or lose to 1t and he
always had 20 train for them. When la
Blance whipped him | thought il was The
mcrest accident and think SO yet. think
also that nobody knew better than TIE
marine" himself. Well. | guess it's all
40 with Dempsey now, and the big fellow
heayod a fOur-hOrse-pOw sigh. He'll
will neN or recover from this licking. The
poor fellows heart must be broken"
DEMPSEY CLEARLY OUrCiAssED.
Ii was Sulliyau-k ilaain iigbt over again
in large measure. Dempsey was clearly
outolassed from the start but he stuck 10
it to the last. Fiizsimmons fought tair and
even the most chagrined friends of the
Yanqulshed are forced 10 admit that he 10

He could play with Klrain Ike a child.
Muld' says that with twenty pounds

a result Of the light il Is not unlikely that
the question Of height asd reach will cut az
