and Mortality at Walkervitle
last Tuesday night was the
- prettiest exhibition that has
been seen in Montana fer a
long time. Al things conalie~etl. the
men We're very evenly matched. ana that
they Were in perfect physical condition
is evidenced by the .afct rha, they went
the long d.Sitance-twenty rolnls-at q
very fast pace and We're far from being
exhausted at The finish.
Mccarthy is a harder hi,ter than
Mcrarity. and every one of his swings
is dangerous. He is fair ring general.
TOO ctls.aering the experience he has
mad but made a mistake Tuesday night
IN not following rushing tactics. Every
lusl he made showed that Nj c..arity
was unable to withstand his antagonist,
but he did not seem TO realize his advan-
taga. M--ai.ty is a nlu,l mere scien-
tifc fighter than Mccarthy. He has
speed and is shifty to degree, while
his knowledge of the game is Thorough.
He landed much mere frequently shan
his opponent, but his blows seemed to
lack s,eam. AT all events when the
battle was over. Mccarthy was practi-
ta.ly without a mark. Mo- iarity is
very fair fighter. ana although he once

did not affect him in the least. On the
Other hand, Moriar.ty faced an audience
That contained scarcely a friend. and
every demonstration of approval or en-

The decision of the referee announc-
ing the ocltss'. draw was entirely sat

John l.. sullivan thinks Charley is
laberins under de.usion, and so do I.
Sully very aptly says that an Old horse
turned out to pasture, after being fully
raced out. often imasines he is quite
colt again and kicks up his hee,s ana
scampers over the turf in a manner that
would do no disoredit to 2-year-o,d
He also says the aged one would
discover mis- snortc omings and defcien-
cieS ii rut in race against young
racers. He imagines that Charley would
make a Similar discovery if ne was to
again essay pusi!istic hcaors within the
rag. Sully--when himsalf-has a very
level head.

intimate with Mitchell.
When he met Sullivan in Madison
Square garden and foored him. ito the
surprise and dismay of the Champions
admirers. the contest was stopped by
police interference. Capt. Alec Williams
who was in command of the police squad
there. said he in,srfe-ed to save Mitch
e.'s life. This was a ridiculous state
meh1t.
Suliy did put up red-hot battle after
ne resained his feet, but Mitche'l fought
back bravey. and his life wasn't.in the
slightest danger when the police int-r

10 resume the scrap With Suly in the
dressing room, and was only restrained
from hitting the big fellow and having

threat of Captain Williams that he
would club him if he did.
| considered al the time, and have ever
since, that Sullivan had the. best of that
encounter, and that the verdict of the
referee acknowledging this was a just
one, hut Mitchell s.outly combated this
idea, and frequently tod me that he was
just as confident as shat he was living
that h1 could whip Sullivan if allowed 10
Save a chance to do so.
| u~e1 to tluSh a. these claims, but
that Mitchell believed them to be true
never had any reason to doubt.
THAI Sullivan himself had more re-

Of presenting himself in proper condition
