John L. Sullivan was lately inter
viewed by Winifred Black, a woman
reporter of the New York journal, al
follows:
John L. Sullivan, the greatest fight
er the world has ever known. sat or
the porch at Muldoon's yesterday, and
told me what he would do with his life
if he had it to live over again.
He is very fat, and his short hair is
IS gray as a badgers. His hands are
putfed and out of shape. but his skin is
brown and clear, and his shrewd little
elephants eyes are bright and ken.
The porch at Muldoon's is wide and
cool and shady. There are big loung-
ing chairs there, and the great maple
trees throw Il flicker of lcafy shadow
on the steps.
Mr. Sullivan had just come in from a
fve-mflc walk up Snake Hill, and be
sat back in his big chair and signed d
sigh Of honest fatigue. sit ain't the

They're murder, them hills is. It's
the fat that does it. Here | am, thirty
nine years old, and fat as a porpolse.

year wasted.
Sometimes Teller feels like he'd
rather have something to forget with
than any other old thing there Is.
What would l do if 1 could begin

what I'd do. I'd train.
I'd keep training, and I'd never let

son o mine should grow up without
KNOWN how to fight. An if he was q
fighter I'd want him to be at the top
An "a teach him to keep in trainin',
an I'd never let up on him any more
than the preacher did On me. The
glory of a young man is in his strength ;
You bet I'd learn him that, and I'd
learn him to h eep his stre0g tn an not
throw it away same as | done.
What would [ do if l could fight
Corbett again? I'd fetch him a clOut
on the jaw, that's what I'd do. An if I'd
keep myself in condition | could do it,.
Any body on earth could a-knocked me
out that time.
1t was luck. COrbett's luck. An old
John L. was up against it, see? Up
against it. That's where L was.
How would 1 lick the champion?
There wouldn't be but one champion

you.
But say, there wouldn't be no women

"Women don't belong at fights no
more than men belong at a ba by

AN you don't expect 'em to have
sense about tightin'. Women an
preachers, they're good folks-I like
EN- ell right, but they have their
own little corner of the ring au'
the referee ought to make 'em stay in

don't make a man that'll fight.
Il see they re making q great time.
over boXin' matches, and sayin' that
the laws have got to sop 'em.

Say, some of these guys think that
you could make folks stop eatin' if you
only made laws enough about it..
There was men long before there was
prize tightin' laws, and there'll be men
long after 'em, an man fights.
They don't jabber an call names,
an make faces. That's for mon keys.
Men fight. An they'll fight as long as
they are men.
why don't they make some laws to
stop the sun shining. Lots of folks
gets killed by the sun. Why dom
they send somebody up there and read
an injunction TO the sun.
Jaw, it makes me tired.
"Aint they got no reason? Seems to
me them folks set an think till their
