BETS ON THE "SHORT END"
Hints That John L. Was "Doctored"
Before He Entered the Ring.

BosroN, Oct. This mornings Post
has the following story:
Sullivan, when here showing et the
Howard, said that he would fight again
and that he would like To meet Corbett.
He also hinted that he would be his own
manager and that he wouldn't have any
thing to do with Charley johnson or
James Wakely.
Sullivan probably has had his eyes
opened since the late unpleasantness in
which he figured conspcuously. John
was trained by Phil Casey at the sugges-
tion of Charley Johnson.
Now what Casey doesn't know about
training pugilist, and especially John l..
Sullivan, would ill hook. John *
life very easily while under Casey's charge,
and Jack Ashton had such good time
that he was under the influence almost all
the time.
Well johnson never troubled himself to
have Sully change his mode for getting In
condition. In fact he
Troubled Himself Very Rarely
about going to the place where John made
bluff at getting in shape.
Going to New Orleans, John didn't have
that gymnasium car to practice In. And
the food he ate was bought by Wakely.
The night before the mill, John was ont
looking at the stars in the heavens, and
tumbled into bed at a very late hour.
Still Johnson didn't fume bit.
A bottle of whisky disappeared during
the afternoon preceding the fight. But
Johnson never felt any occasion to call
the big fellow down.
Then Came the fight,
and almost before the people realized IL,
John l.. had abdicated and new sovereign
was crowned.
Sullivan, when he regained conscious
ness, according TO one right near his cor
ner, said to McAuliffe: "Am l licked,
Jack'" and then added, "Well II was my
own fault
Now people have wondered why John
did 80 poorly on the evening Of Sept. I.
Says an eye witness: Had he shown half
the agility thu he did at the Howard
when here last May with his show he
would have whipped this fellow dead easy.
"John was off, and since he has de-
clared that he will have no more Of
Charley johnson "a n manager 1t can be
seen that he doesn't place great deal Of
confidence i'm the Gotham sport.

Most Of the English followers of the

for the big stake as . thing not worth
mentioning. His action cannot be under

A friend OF Sullivan's called on him
while he was training and was insulted
and given to understand that his room
was preferable to his company. And this
is very strange, too, for it might have
been well not to have any spying eyes
around.
