A Now York sculptor has completed
a marble statue of John Lawrence sui
livun. the champion of all champions,
and. no matter what some people say
to the contrary, a gentleman. Has
the reader ever seen John l.. sullivan?
Has the rcodcr ever seen the cham
pion on one OF those "toars' that we
frequently reod about? No, certainly
not. Then don't believe the stories
that are teicgraphed from one city to
another about the big fellows drunl1s.
Too many lies have been told about
Sullivan. lie once said to the writer,
"If ever do get on one
of the drunks the papers speak
of the man who writes it up win have
ample evidence of my condition. Now,
remember, the first time you hear
about me licking a lying reporter, then
you can rely on 1t that l have been
taking q little too much. It seems to
be a mania with these fellows to write
up false stories about my being
drunk"
Well. marble statues have been made
to worse originals than Sullivan. This
particular one is not life size. It viii
be followed by another, though. a
model of which is here given which
will do honor TO the great eX-pugilist.
1t will. it is said, stand in Boston.
Never in the history of the world has a
prize fighter retired from the gladia-
torial arena with the honor that crowns
Sullivan's career in the ring.
There can no longer be any doubt
about it. Sullivan has retired for good
and forever
John L. Sullivan was born in Boston,
1879 nr,I Of a1 Of
ton as a pugilist by the easy manner in
which he bested Joe Goss, the ex-
champion of the world, in three min
utes at Masonic hall Boston, in the
spring of 1850. A few weeks later he
met Geo. Rookie in New York city and
did him up with the gloves easily in
seven minutes. In December, 1880, he
beat Prof. John Donaldson at Cincin-
natl in ten rounds, and in March, 1881,
he knocked Steve Taylor senseless at
Harry Hills place in New York inside
of three minutes.
His first fight to finish with skin
tight gloves was with John Flood, of
New York, on May rs, fSs1. This took
place on a barge on the North river be-
tween the New York and New Jersey
shores. The battle was for 81 900 a
side, Sullivan took just sixteen
minutes to dispose of the New Yorker.
He knocked him out in the eighth round.
His next finish encounter was with
"Paddy" Ryan, who held the champion
ship. The meeting came off at Missis-
sippi City, Miss, Feb. z, 1882, and the
Boston boy won easily in nine rounds,
taking just eleven minutes to do the
work.
Sullivan's next fight to a finish was
with "Charley' Mitchell at Apremont,
