New ORLEANS, Sept. Cit transplreS
that Sullivan after his defeat last night
began undoing all the careful work OF
training which he aud his trainers have
been doing for months past. Defeat ana
chagrin coupled with the absence OF motive
for further training doubtless led the man
TO resume his convivial habits. Otners
about him were drinking No wonder tnen
that Sullivan drank. His deep sleep tnis
morning as stated already was the result
of potations. When he awakened this
morning ne was taken over TO the gym,
nastic Club and there he was kept until
the time when he should go with MS
people to the train on which the homeWafu
Journey was to begin at 9: 30.
At4 p. m. an Associated Press CORE
spondent found Sullivan attired in bathing
trunks and about to essay a plunge in the
pool. The great giant presented a pltlaole
spectacle. The cut on his nose had Deen
closed, but his eyes were blackened ana
the whole face was swollen terribly. In
the lower lip on the left side was deep
cut. still open, and with whitened edges.
The surface of the distended lips at the
centre had been literally smashed against
his teeth by Corbetts blows, and the raw
tissues were brought out by the fevered
swelling. In this condition, Whlle ne urea

no one, and only render more pltlaole the
plight of the man who through Twelve
wears has been worshiped by the hstc
world. He said that which in sober, quiet
moments he would not reiterate, and winch
in his present condition may not be put on
record as his deliberate views.
Sullivan lays greatest stress on the TACT
that he could not reach Cor0ett; the smtty,
lightning tactics of the new champion Wor-

and circled and kept Sullivan clrcAng IN
order TO face him. This frequent wnirl-

banked upon all sides; all this tended 10
confuse and daze the big fellow from bos-
ton. He never has been so puzzled before.
The sensation was new. The lightning
flash-like science of the younger man was
a revelation TO Sullivan, who In MS Oest
