SULLIVAN IN BAD SHAPE.
his NOSE NOT BROKEN, BUT BADLY
BRUISED.

Gets Up Fresh and Bright.
NEW ORLEANS. Sept. s.-Sullivan slept
till awakened near noon. His face was 30
swollen that the skin was drawn tight. His
lips were dis1gured. His nose, where Cor
bett landed repeatedly, Is not broken, but
is terribly bruised. He got Turkish bath
and spent the day indoors preparing 20 de-
part.
Corbett was fresh and bright and reoeiv-
ing congratulations. He said the result did
not surprise him, because he knew when he
went into the ring that Sullivan was not
his equal in skill or endurance. Sullivan
was a wonderful hitter and every inch
fighter, but what he lacked was ability TO
use his hands and avoid oleverer man.
DIXON DELIGHTED.
Dixon enjoyed the smashing Sullivan
got He said: "Corbett made q monkey OF
Sullivan, just as thought he would"
Walter Campbell, the lightweight, said:
Sullivan used bad Judgment from start to
finish. Whenever he his with his left he fell
short. When he hit with his right he gem
orally missed Corbett Corbett is a world
beater and the best ever saw"
ALT Kennedy said: at was q fine fight.
Corbett's activity carried the day over Sui
livan's age. Sullivan is a back number.
He was too old to fight. None Of these men
have any license TO 60 In the ring when they
are past 30 against clever young man with
speed and endurance
Many of the sports will have hard work
TO get out Of town, being broke.
SULLIVAN ON DRUNK.
II transpires that Sullivan. after bis de.
feat last night, began to undo all the care
ful work OF training which he and his
krafnprs haUa bRap dDinc for vynaka mast
Defeat and chagrin, coupled with the abb
sence OF q motive for further training
doubtless led the man to resume his oonviv-
isl habits. His deep sleep this morning was
the result Of potations When he awakened
be was taken over 60 the gymnastic club
and there kept until time to resume his
homeward journey at $3.50 o'clock. The
great giant presented q pitiable spectacle.
The cut on his nose had been closed, but his
eyes were blackened and his whole faoe
swollen terribly.
HE TALKS OF THE FIGHT.
While he tried to smoke the sodden butt
of q cigar he talked in a maudling voice of
his downfall. Sullivan lays greatest stress
on the fact that he could not reach Corbett
The shifting and lightning tactics OF the
new champion worried and dazed him. The
Californian circled and oircled and kept
Sullivan ciroling In order to face him. This
frequent whirling, the lights and the may
swimming Of the thousands of white and
eager faces banked upon all sides all tended
| - confuse and daze the big man Of Boston.
ooRBETT's oUICKNEss REVELATION.
The lightning hashliks science of the
younger man was a revelation to Sullivan,
| who in his best days had never possessed
such pugilistic elements. "But l did not
run away" the big fellow almost sobbed.
Look us up in q room-1ust lock me In
l. a a.
him. But he licked me. / give him all the
credit he wants. He licked me square
enough, but let him go through what
have, let him knock them all out for twslve
years and then see IL he can do any better
than did. Yes, he licked the champion
and now he's champion. Let him take care
OF it as good as | did, that's all, amt
kicking"
FRIENDS GO WITH HIS GLORY.
After awhile he went to lie down IN the
club house and fell asleep without the at
tentlons paid him hourly yesterday. Hand
some Dan Murphy was about the only one
Of Sullivans outfit who was attending the
ex-champion. Wakeley and johnson and
Moran, his backers were blocks away and
about the hotels, while faithful Phil Casey
was packing up for the journey, aud Jack
Ashton was drinking in a party whose
chief occupation was admiration of Jack

CoRBETT WON'T FIGHT JACKSON.
Champion Corbett will leave here TO-
morrow morning at O'clock for New York
in a special train over the Piedmont Air
Line. "Corbett will never meet jackson
again. said Delaney, Corbett's second.
you may make this public We are
against fighting negroes any more, and we
are particularly catering to the wishes of
our southern friends in this matter. Be-
sides, Corbett has bested Jackson already,
and nothing is to be gained by fighting
Mitchell, and for the present ignore all
challenges"
JACK M'AULIFFE GIVEN A SCARE.
Many people observed the livid appear
ance Of Jack MoAuliffe as he stood in SuIli-
vans corner and saw the great champion of
old moved down in q pitiful manner. He
thought there was no man on earth to com-
pare with John L. Sullivan. he gave Dick
Roche his check on the Bank of Commerce
of New Orleans for $l8,250, which he re-
quested Roche to place on Sullivan for him.
He was 80 confident In the big fellows
ability TO win that he even went so far as to
borrow $1,000 and put that up himself
against $500 1t was hope az gAinst faith
and each round brought the dreaded reality
to his vision. He was worked almost into a
frenzy by the time the knockout occurred.
ROCHE FAILED TO BET,
The mill stone was taken from his heart,
however, when he sscertained from Dick
Roche that his SIS, $50 still remained In the
bank, as long-hesded Roche knew more
about the uncertainties Of plunging than his
young friend, so he quietly held back the
check and put $500 or S400 on Sullivan for
Jack, saying bird in the hand was worth
two in the bush, Roche did not bet one
dollar himself, although he won over Sl0,-
900 on MoAuliffe whipping Myers and lost
small amount on Skelly. He liked Sullivan,
but was too old gambler to give the big
odds demanded.
The biggest loser Of the day, as far as can
be ascertained, was John Kelly Of New
York, the ex-base ball umpire, who
backed the great champion Of champions
for S2l 600.
CoRBETTs GENEROSITY.
Corbett showed his generosity ia a re-
markable manner last night at the st.
Charles hotel, when he sent word to SulIi-
van thai he would not only spar four
rounds with him at his benefit 10 be held at
Madison Square garden Sept. 81, but would
take a box and pay $1,000 for it. When
Corbett went to Sullivans corner and
helped him TO his chair he held out his hand
and said: "JohD, will you shake hands
with mep and Sullivan replied; "Yes. my
