fame as an invincible pugilist spread
rapidly. His first notable victory was
over Professor John Donaldson, of Cleve-
land. Sullivan knocked the Ohio man out
in ten rounds One after another-George
Rookie, Joe Goss, Steve Taylor and several
other good men-were bested, and finally
Sullivan won the American championship
by whipping Paddy Ryan in 1882.
Sullivan then offered to knock out any
man in the world in four rounds. He
whipped Jimmy Elliott in this manner,
but failed to best Tug Wilson. In 1888
the Sullivan-Mitchell boxing match was
stopped by the police. Since then Sulli-
van has whipped Slade, the Maori; John

has fought a draw with Charley Mitchell.

was OF at once for a swim in PecOnic bay.
At 1880 he had lunch, and after a two hours
rest took ten mile tramp over rough
sandy roads, returning for dinner at 7
o'clock. At 0 o'clock, his days work end
ed, the champion went to bed.
His rising time is about O'clock and his
first work is n nine mile walk, after which
comes breakfast at $50. Between break
fast and II o'clock he rests, but from II
until l he does his work in the gymna-
stun. The champion does not box or
wrestle, and he no longer plays handball.
When he began TO negotiate for the fight
with Corbett he weighed go pounds. Be
fore he began training in earnest he
weighed about s4G pounds, and he tips the
scales at present at about 30 pounds,
his regular fighting weight. Trainer
Casey will get the champion down to POS
before they leave for New Orleans. Sept l.
so that If Sullivan gains two pounds dur
ing the trip he win still be able to enter
the ring at 2l0 pounds.
As Corbett intends to weigh in at 1SS
pounds Sullivan will be twenty-five pounds
heavier than his adversary. Corbett's adj
mirers say that this extra weight will be a
detriment to the champion, but the latter's
friends declare that Sullivan tipped the
beam at about 2l0 pounds when he whipped
Jake Kihain, July s, 1889, and that his vic
tory proved that he could fight like tiger
at that weight.
Corbett's admirers claim, too, that Sui.
Ivan is old for O fighter and that the ring
has seen very few men Of thirty-four years
who could hold their own against younger
men. They add further that Sullivan has
been dissipated and that advancing age
and n wild life have made him a much
poorer man than he was three or four years
ago.
The Sullivan men answer these argu-
ments with the simple statement that
there never has been but one John L.
Sullivan, that he is the greatest fighter
the world has ever seen, and that conse
quently age and alleged dissipation have
not affected him rs they would have az
fected the ordinary first class pugilist.
Sullivan himself says that he Is in better
condition today than he was three year:
ago when he whipped kilrain, and that IL
Corbett will only stand up and fight hin
he will defeat the Californian in a few
rounds. Corbett, on the other hand, de
clares that he would not accept $4,000 az
the price of not meeting Sullivan, for th,
reason that he will get S35 600 if he wins
and he believes that he has more thar
half chance TO get away with both Sulli
van and the coin.
Sullivan was born at the Highlands
near Boston, Oct. IS. 1858, and consequently
will be very nearly thirty-four years ole
when he meets Corbett. At sixteen Sulli

encircled his ample waist. He did not
look mt peace with all the world, but rather
as though the world and the fifty members
OF It that were staring at him made him
very, very tired.
Finally Sullivan arose from the bed,
growled an order to his japanese valet 20
tie the punching bag more securely to its
rope, donned a pair of light gloves and
waited for the Jap to do his work. 10 was
one Of the hottest days of the year, and the
prospect Of having to punch leather foot
ball for half an hour did not seem an in
viting one to the champion.
At last the ball dangled securely from
the ceiling. Sullivan growled n few more
orders in voice that apparently came
from the neighborhood of his tennis shoes,
staggered toward the ball, cast a fierce
glance out Of the corners of his eyes at it
and then gave the inoffensive sphere a
blow with his right fist that nearly tore it
from the rope. Again and again he sent
his big fists against the ball until IL played
vigorous tattoo upon the ceiling. Coca
sionally he would get careless, and as the
ball came back with terrific speed and
banged him between the eyes, he would
growl good naturally, lone for the ball"
He chewed gum constantly and pounded
away at the ball until the perspiration
dripped from his sunburned, smooth shaver
face. AZ the end of twenty minutes he
was painting a little, but after a pause of 4
few moments big Jack Ashton, his spar
ring partner, handed him half inch rope,
which he grasped by the ends and began
skipping as gracefully and easily as a miss
of twelve years. He held his feet close to-
gether and without bending his knees sent
his el2 pounds OF bono and Drawn up into
the air by the spring Of his toes. Minute
after minute the champion continued the
exercise until Assistant Trainer Billy Nor

japanese valet and, wholly unabashed
bv the presence of half hundred people,
literally stripped himself and was vigorous

gan. Then he tumbled into the bed and was
covered mp with heavy blankets. A few
moments later he threw of his coverings

Olympic club. He looks every inch =
fighter as he trains daily at Canoe Place
Inn, Good Ground, l.. l., under the watch
full eye of genial Phil Casey, the handball
champion. He Is every inch an autocrat,
too, and it is doubtful if the czar Of all the
Russias exacts more careful attention from
his miniqns than Sullivan.
The champion is stern aggressiveness
from the tips Of his toes TO his slightly
gray hair. His voice is harsh and cultural,
more like the growl Of a bulldog than any
thing else. When he speaks some one
moves, and if that some one does not move
with alacrity Sullivan turns his head to
one side after the manner of the canine
mentioned and gives the some one a glance
out of the corners Of his black eyes that
never fails to produce the desired results
Training is the hardest kind Of hard work,
and as it is not at all to Sullivan's taste it
does not tend to make him feel amiable.
lie says emphatically that he would not
train again for a million dollars, and while
this may be Sullivanesque hyperbole, the
inducement would surely be a great one
that would make the champion again
apply the jackknife Of exercise and whit
tie sixty pounds Of flesh from his stalwart
frame.
Sullivan is naturally gruff and bellicose
in his appearance, even in everyday life,
and when he has his hands up in battle ar
ray his fierce appearance cowes an ordi
nary opponent and makes him more fear
fulof the result than before he entered the
ring.
Canoe Place Inn, the picturesque spot
where Sullivan is at work, is an almost in
accessible place nearly seventy miles from
New York, but this fact does not deter
hundreds OF people from visiting the cham
pion every week. His training quarters
are located on the upper floor Of barn,
and each day fifty or sixty people crowd
