SCRAP WAS VERY LIVELY

I Louisville. Ky September 30. - kid Broad of Cleveland was tonight given the decision over Dave sullivanIof New York after twenty-five of the fastest rounds ever seen here The contest took place before the Southern Athletic Club and 5000 persons saw 1t. Tim Hurst was the referee The boys fought at 126 pounds.
 In the earlier rounds Sullivan was the aggressor. Broad was playing a waiting game and allowed Sullivan to do most of the work till they had gone four rounds. Then the Kid got down to business and forced matters. Broad was not damaged during the first three rounds and suc- ceeded in ripping in several stiff body blows. In the fourth Sullivan landed sew eral straight jabs to the wind and the round was clearly his. The fifth was Broads all the way. He made Sullivan dance all over the mat and got in some vicious swings to wind, kidneys and face. Sullivan was apparently badly rattled. In the sixth round Broad landed a dozen times to head and received several light ones in return, though Sullivan found trouble in reaching. In the seventh, how ever, he dropped a straight right on Broad's eye, and that organ was soon all
  the round was his
 Hundred Blows in Mlx-Up.
 In the eighth it was terrific. They rush ed at each other with right and left swings, uppercuts straight rights and lefts, and each made a veritable chopping block of the other before the referee could make them break under the rules. Prob ably a hundred blows were exchanged during the mix up. The round ended with claims about evenly divided.
 In the nintn round Broad Began play ing for Sullivan's stomach and kidneys, and received hard straight rights on his damaged eye. Both succeeded in lanuing several hard ones to head and heart in the tenth, and honors were even, The eleventh round found Sullivan the fresh CT of the boys and he did the better work as to points though his blows seemed to be devoid of any damaging power. In the twelfth Sullivan was groggy and the sound of the gong was very welcome for Broad was pushing him hard The gong was all that saved him. In the thirteenth Sullivan was forced to the ropes time and again and was getting noticeably weaker. His eye was almost closed and his mouth was bleeding.
 Sullivan's wonderful recuperative power asserted itself In the fourteenth round and he came up surprisingly fresh. The round ended in his favor. The fifteenth saw some hard fighting and in the six teenth Sullivan began to weaken again. Broad having him all but gone when the bell sounded. Broad poured dozens of upper cuts to Sullivan's wind in the sew enteenth round and Sullivan's distress was only too evident Mercilessly Broad Kept after him and once more when an- other stiff punch would have ended the fight, the bell tapped. The eighteenth. however. brought the New York boy up apparently strong and fresh and both did some very pretty work, Sullivan rush ing for a knockout and Broad allowing him to expend his energy.
 Broad Was Better.
 Matters were about even in the nine teenth. but the twentieth was decidedly Broad's. Several times he rushed Suli- van to the ropes and did his best to chop him down. Sullivan stuck out the round till the bell sent him to his corner.
 in the twenty-frst round Sullivan struck Broad rather law in the stomach and Broad appeared to be in such agony that many thought he was going out He went through the round, however, and the crowd howled and cheered him when he came up In the twenty-second round and after some of the fastest fighting ever seen anywhere had the New York boy almost asleep when the gong once more saved him.
 Both came up very tired in the twenty third round, though Dave was the strong CT or the two. Both swung wildly throughout the round and when they landed did no damage. Thus they fought the next two runds, at the conclusion of which Referee Hurst declared Broad the winner
