doping out the worlds champion
ship question. He has this TO say In |
the Police News latest issue:
John L. sullivan won the champion
ship from Paddy Ryan on February
I, 1882, on the Barnes Hotel property,
at Mississippi City, Miss, in nine
rounds, under London prize ring rules,
lasting 10 minutes and 30 seconds.
The press Of the country and general
opinion did not uphold such events,
and the gloves were then substituted.
Sullivan was compelled by public
opinion to box with padded mitts or
not at all, and, as he needed the
money, he wore the gloves. With the
advent of the gloves IT seems that
pugilism took n bound forward in the
hearts of Americans, and, in fact,
every other English-speaking coun-
try, and we find that Sullivan excelled
AT this branch of the business. The
only foreigners whom he battled, how
ever were Tug Wilson, whom he met
at New York, July II, 1882, and whom
he failed to knock out in four rounds;
Charley Mitchell, May Ia, 1883. at Mad
ison Square Garden, New York, the
police stopping the contest in the
third round and Sullivan getting the
decision; Slade, the Maori, August
9, 1888, at same place, Sullivan win
ming In third round; Alf Greenfield,
November H. 1884, at New York, po-
lice giving Sullivan a three round vic
tory; All Greenfield at Boston, Jan
uary IL. 1885, four rounds, victory for
Sullivan; drew with Charley Mitchell
at Chantilly, France, old style, 30
rounds, March 10, 1883. Among the
above there is not one man who had
any right TO be called champion of
England am not attempting to de-
ny that Sullivan could have beaten
any man in the world-I am sensible
of the fact that without doubt if given
the chance Sullivan would have ac-
quired the title. But Sullivan, as
champion Of America, never met the
Australian or English champion. The
latter about this time was Jem Smith,
who was decisively beaten by Peter
Jackson. The latter thus became
champion of England, as well as cham.
pion OF Australia, by whipping Frank
Slavin. sullivan lost the champion
ship Of America to Corbett and the
latter lost II to Fitzsimmons. When
the latter was whipped by Jim Jeffries
at Coney Island, N. Y, June 8, 1890,
the latter won the championship Of
America. He had won the champion
ship of England aud Australia, March
o., 1898. when he whipped Peter Jack
son in three rounds at San Francisco
To the above Fitzsmmons has agreed,
manfully acknowledging that he never
was more than heavyweight champion
OF America, although worlds middle
weight champion. My own personal
opinion OF the matter Is that sullivan
was the hest man In the world In his
day, but technically he was not worlds
champion"
