like a man who would be fit to do any
kind of training before week atsleast,
But he now resembles the John IL. sui
Ivan OF old, only that he has got TO get
that pouch off, and, as he has Just ten
weeks to do 1t IL have not the slightest
doubt but that he will succeed. Surely
the LIQUOR that he has drank within the
past weeks or ten days could not have
hurt him much, for no man could have
taken of so much flesh during the time
that he has been at work without show
ing considerable distress and Sullivan's
appearance just now don't indicate that
he has suffered very much. One thing
is certain. he looks stronger and health
Ter than when he first went into train
ing to fight Kilrain over three years
ago."
Sullivan appeared to be little stitf
and sore from the effects OF his efforts
at the handball court, but he continued
on with his work cheerfully, and seen.-
ed to be well pleased over the fact that
permanent training quarters had been
selected. When he went TO bed at Phil
Casey's home on Wednesday night, he
weighed exactly 300 pounds. He said
that he had passed fairly good night,
but there, was room for Improvements In
that respect. He arose about o'clock
10 the morning and asked for cup OF
tea. A piece of dry bread was thrown
in. He laid down again and had good
sleep until IL o'clock. Three-quartels
of an hour after he and Casey appeared
in working clothes, and Sullivan show
ed that he had lost four pounds.
They remained in the court at least
an hour, running, walking, and playing
handball, and in that time Sullivan had
worked off four pounds. He then had
a good rub down, was placed In bed
with a heavy woollen pad under him
and heavy sweater encircling his body,
and, after perspiring freely for ten min
utes, was rubbed again, followed with q
shower bath. He was then subjected
to another rubbing and free applica-
ton of liniment and witch hazel. lie
commenced to feel little hungry about
this time, and after an hours rest the
big fellow, in company with his trainer
and Billy Heaney, went to restaurant
on Montague street. Sullivan ordered
a good, big top sirloin steak, without
any attachments at all, only two slices
of dry toast, and glass OF iced tea.
At 5 o'clock there was a big crowd
in the gallery of the court to see the big
fellow and his trainer do about fifteen
minutes work. Sullivan wore a heavy
black wooden sweater. He and his
trainer started into walk at an ordi-
nary gait. and then Sullivan would sud
denly go into jog. This was kept up
for about five minutes, when they traV-
elled the reverse way. The big fellow
logged along easily and without show
ing the slightest signs OF distress. This
was the last exercise OF the day, and he
retired to bed early.
Frank Moran, Sullivan's manager,
called to see him yesterday, and the
two had confidential talk. Moran
saws that while John is In training he
will look after the latter's new drama,
of which three acts have already been
written by Edmund Fl. Price OF this
city. Speaking of the new play yester-
day Sullivan said 81 have read over
two acts and I like them very much.
The first production of the drama will
be on September IA next at Manchester,
n. II. On September II l will appear
in a boxing show at Madison Square
Garden, and will be open to spar any
man living"
Canoe Place Inn, the training quarters
selected for Sullivan, is spoken OF very
highly by those who are acquainted
with the locality. In fact, 1t is claimed
that Charley Johnston struck the big
gest kind of luck when he clinched the
bargain with Proprietor MUMMY, an old
restaurateur of Williamsburgh. There
will be four rooms for the party, which
will include Sullivan, Phil Casey, Jack
Ashton, Sullivan's young Jap, whom he
got in San Francisco, and probably an
other attendant.
"You will box some with Ashton"
was asked of Sullivan.
II never did any boxing In my train
ing, and will not commence now" was
his reply. II don't believe In 1t; it
makes man dead slow. Fighting the
football makes man quicker, and that
is all will do in the hitting line"
A few days ago Sullivan purchased
OF A. G.. Spaldng & Brother a set OF
training paraphernalia. The list in
cludes twelve sweaters, six OF heavy
wool and six light ones; two dozen
Turkish towels; ten pound bail, for
throwing backward and forward; dumb
bells, weighing from one to four pounds
each; two pairs Of training shoes and
other things.
