oerod. wnlppeu 1.iv Two cleyerest Dig men
OF his time, Yankee Sullivan and John q.
Heenan, by simply letting thcm break
their hands and hearts on his rugged body
and big, bony, honlike head, and when
they were tired out turned in and beat
them-at least that was Hecnan's case.
Sullivan, 1 believe, lost on a foul, but he
would have succumbed I'm a few rounds
more In any event, as his hands as well as
his strength were gone in hammerine
Morrissey.
We may have a repetition Of Hocnan Hnd
Sullivan's (Yankee) example In Corbetts
case. Sharkey Is fully as strong as Nor
rissey, Is equally imperyious TO punish
ment and just as game, resolute and fierce
as the famous Trojan. He rushes, too,
just like Morrissey and will not be denied.
Can Corbett keep away from him? Yes,
for a dozen or more rounds without trou
BILE. But let tho battle go on for 20 rounds
or more and Corbetts hands puff up,
break, give way or he becomes weak, the
"yellow streak" Joe Choynski and the
sportsmen claim is in him will surely
show, the more so especially IL Corbett
finds out he is not hurting or weakening
the sailor 10 any appreciable extent, and
Sharkey will prove the winner The issue
Of the event depends simply upon how
much punishment Sharkey can stand and
how long Corbott's courage will hold out
II the sailor is another Morrissey, he will
win. II he is only an ordinary human
abutment and not rock, he will lose, ms
the toughest kind OF stono gives way TO
dripping water and the hardest kind OF
men, II not absolutely adamantine, yield
In time to constant jabbing. These arc the
conditions of the case exactly.
Should Sharkcy defeat Corbett i will,
as. i stated before, gladly take him on as
soon as he is ready for worlds cham
pionship battle. II Corbett wins, viii
not meet him until he has defeated Peter
Maher, who will challenge him to battle
Immediately after nc shall have lowered
