pluck and endurance would carry him.
In the twelfth round O'Brien was sent
to the floor three times with lefts and
rights over the heart and was in such
bad condition that when he went to his
corner at the end of the round he was
advised to give up. He complained of his
left side, but he insisted on going on.
However, better counsel prevailed and
he was induced to shake hands with Me-
Fadden, who would certainly have put
him out in another round When O'Brien
was examined by physician after he
reached his dressing room, it was dis
covered that the seventh and eighth ribs
on his left side were broken.

DIXON AND SULLIVAN
To Fight Twenty Rounds at Coney
Island This Evening.

New York, July Sion Tuesday at
Coney Island George Dixon will try to
put out Tommy Sullivan, a tough little
fellow from Brooklyn. 1t may be Dix
on's last appearance in a New York
ring, for he has no more matches in sight
before the expiration of the Horton law
on September 1.
Since McGovern put him out at the
Broadway Athletic club. the colored
bruiser has not fought before a New
York club, and this may be the last time
in his career the New York public will
have an opportunity to see this wonder
fight.
Tommy Sullivan is a Brooklyn favor
tie whose reputation as a knocker-Out
grows with every fight. He is fairly
clever at the beginning of a bout, but in
the heat of action he adopts the style of
Terry McGovern and walks into an OPP
ponent regardless Of hard knocks. They
are scheduled to fight 20 rounds.
