Few Sullivan Men to be Found
Anywhere.
ALL ACKNOWLEDGE ooRBETT KING.
Views OF Prominent Sporting Men
on the Result-A Great Deal of
Money Changed Hands Appear
ance of the Defeated Champion.


New ORLEANS, Sept. 9.-Bradley, of
Lawrence, who won quite bit Of money
on Corbett, changing from Sullivan at
the last minute, said: SIT was simply
repetition of the Fitzsimmons-Dempsey
battle in the same ring. Corbdtt is a
larger man. Sullivan was never In it at
any stage of the fight. Ho was Of no use
whatever, and could only stop Cdrbetts
blows either with his face or belly. l
think Sullivan has been placed on his
proper level as fighter by Corbett, who
is one of the cleverest men thht ever
stood in a ring"
Jimmy Nelson, one of the trainers Of
Jack McAulitfe was heart broken over
the defeat of Sullivan. II lost 81 800 on
the big fellow, but this is not what
makes me feel SO bad. Dick Roche gave
me 81 900 for the work did for McAu-
life, and Jack presented me with $500.
! put all of it on Sullivan to win $4,000.
Two rounds before the knock out
walked away from the ring with tears in
my eyes could not bear to stay there
and see Sullivan slaughtered. Nb, there
is no doubt of Corbett's superiority. He
fought fairly and was very much the
better man."
Steve Brodie lost $5,3OO in this city
and New York as the result of tile fight
He said last night: II lost enough
money to build house, but l can't conf
plain, for it was lost on the level. Cor
bett simply made sucker of Sullivan.
The big fellow was never in it at any
stage of the game. l believe that Cor
bett could whip Sullivan Of old, Sullivan
of the present, and the future-two Sui
hvans. in fact l acknowledge ! picked
the wrong man, but | take my hat off to
the new champion"
"I Told You So"
Bat Masterson. of Denver, saiIl "The
battle resulted just as l said il would
when the match was made. Sullivan
was always an over rated man. 1t was
proved on Wednesday night Tint he
could not fight little hit. believe
that Fitzsimmons or Hall, middle
weights, could whip him just as Corbett
did"
Harry Cornish, Of the Boston Athletic
association, said: "Corbett played with
Sullivan like cat with n mouse. Sulli-
van could not hit him. 1t was sure
thing from the fifth round"
Howie Hodgens, of Boston, who won
about 81 100 in this city and Boston nsaid:
'Corhett iabbed his left into Sullivans
face and stomach whenever he wished.
Corbett kept the big differ moving all
the time think Sullivan wanted to
quit in the seventh round"
No Sullivan Men to be Found.
NEW YORK. Sept. 0.-Looling for
needle in haystacll was easy wprk com
pared to tn 1t Of finding Sullivan man
about the rendezvous of the sporting men
in this city yesterday. AT the Hoffman
House Billy Edwards, who is REPORTED to
have won big sum on Corbett, was on
hand early, but only remaincd a few
minutes. ''Snapper" Garrison, who is
said to have won $50 900 on tile result,
was seen i'll the Hoffman cafe. He looked
cheerful, hut said nothing There were
Il lot of Californians at the Hoffman and
Fifth Avenue hotels during the morning.
| They were all members of that vast
throng of Il told you SOS" Some at
tributed Sullivan's defeat to old age,
others to lack Of proper training, but the
majority were convinced that COrbett's
superior generalship had won the fight.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept, 9.-Hi1rIy Cor
bett, brother of Jim, now the heavy
weight champion, stated yesterday morn
| ing that he had won 81 COO ON the fight.
| IL became known this morning that Mrs.
| Corbett, Jiln's mother, was thrown ont
| of a buggy last week and had her ann
| broken. No one was allowed 10 see her
| and the news of the accident w,Ss kept
from the newspapers and corresl' 'Indents

| The Dcthroned King.
"Hes sleeping yet" said honest Phil
Casey. as he admitted correspondent to
! Sullivan'S quarters as late as lO:30 yes
terday morning. Come il - added
| Casey. Sullivan lay outstretched upon
/ bed near an open window in one corner.
| He was breathing heavily. His face waj
SO swollen that the skin drawn tightly
shone where the light fell upon it. The
i lips were disiigured and distorted, giving
| to the face a hideously fantastic appear
ance The nose, where Corbatt landed
80 often and repeatedly, is not broken,
but terribly bruised. The damage was
! cut from the bridge of the nose down
its entire center and on the left side.
| As the ex-champion lay asleep he oc
casionally muttered as though dream
ing, and quick, broken respirations for n
little would interrupt the regularity of
his breathing. There he WAS he beaten
| down disiigured evidence that d new
god had sprung up in pugilism .-
Only Phil Casey and Sullivans valet
were in the ROOM johnson and Wakely.
Sulliyan's hackers, were abed yet. The
room was Uttered and strewn with
pugllistic training traps, with dlsOrdered
clothing, trunks, bags, scraps and what
not.
The appearance was that of d ruin, and
the displaced champion as lie lay seemed
in keeping with the scene. When his
late hackers get about they will deter
mine whether they will start for home
tonight or remain longer.
A benefit to Sullivan is being pro-
iected, the design being to have it in
New York. Corbett has heard of the
nrniect and has offered 81 OOn for Il box
