John acquires One of His Colossal Jags
and Breaks Down.
New YORK, Dec. 26.-Jim Corbett's angry
reply to John L. Sulliyan's allegations that
he had been druGoed and duped in New
Orleans, when he fought the Californian,
has apparently aroused the ire Of Euily and
in consequence the latter has been in1bib-
ing in drink at dizzy rate to soothe his
anger, all day. The ex- champion, inmedi-
ately after leaving his bed room in the Van
derbilt hotel late this morning, proceeded
to the bar room on the ground floor and
made the bartender mix him up all sorts of
fancy drinks. It was plainly evident to the
proprietor, Matt Clune, that Sui
liyan was laying the foundation
of another of his famous jaas, and he
anticipated trouble. He endeavored to per-
suade the great modern Hercules to desist
and return to his room. but in every effort
he was met with vicious rebuke. Sullivan
kept drinking until late in the afternoon.
whom he had accomplished his craving de-
sire to get good and full.
He was then in genuine fighting humor.
Jack Ashton, his sparrinQ partner and
friend was called in to try and subdue the
heart broken fighter, but his efforts were
met with curses. and in quicker time than
it takes to tell Ashton made himself scarce,
as likewise did the other occupants of the
fOOm. IL NIL you IL yOu COtue NEAR Lno,
he said in a storm of rage. and then began
to sob and cry over his crushing defeat. He
continued:
"Corbett licked me when was physical
wreck and the shadow of John l.. Sullivan
of six years ago. / have been wronged and
treated dirty because my good nature per
mitted it. Gave me another chance. Give
me another chance and PHI show the world
what can do.'' Then he sank back in a
chair and cried like child. Finally he
grew quieter and permitted Ashton to take
him up to his room. The opinion expressed
among sporting people here that the hacker
he accused in yesterdays interview as drug
ging him. and then betting on Corbett is
Jimmy Wakely. but there is no evidence
which warrants such statements.
Wnkely, when seen tonight concerning
Sulliyan's statement and the reflection ii
casts on him. was very indignant. 'Sulli-
van is going crazy" said he, "fof am sure
that If his mind were not weak, he could
never make such awful remarks. Heaven
be my jndge, never injured that man in
my life. but instead / treated him like n
brother. Drink has been the cause of his
ruin, and nothing else. Johnston and l.,
curing the days of his training on Long
Island, watched him like mother would
her child to keep him away from drinking,
but despite our watchfulnsss he stole beer
and sneaked it to his room. That's the
cause of his defeat, and not morphine,
which he says was put in his food"
Charley Johnston, his other baoker. was
in angry mood, and refused to talk. The
opinion prevails here that Sulliyan's queer
actions for tetell an early b eak down.
