 Joe Bernstein tells the following story of his first real prize fight: T had spared a bit. around New York, ," said the east side idol, "and one night about eight years ago I was sneaked into a club room by Tom ORourke Spike Sullivan was to meet Joe Hop kins. a colored lad. The place was packed with Irishmen, all of whom were there for the sole purpose of see ing Sullivan whip the colored lad. Hop kins failed to show up that night, and O'Rourke was as mad as a March hare, finding it almost impossible to get anybody to go on with Sullivan. Finally O'Rourke got sight of me ill the crowd and told me if I would go caT I'll 10 wnn16 $125. We'll, nearly dropped dead, as 1 had never possessed so much money in my life, having been in the habit of boxing for $5 or $10. I really believe l would have fought John l.. Sullivan for the same amount of money, and, to be on the safe side, O'RoI1rke gave me the money first. Sullivan looked like a giant alongside of me, and everyone present told me would get killed, but all I thought about was the $125, tied around my waist Although I knew very little about boxing at that time, l was good and strong, and could stand a great deal of punishment. We boxed for eight rounds, and I thought I was getting along fine. going to my corner with all the confidence in the world I was very weak in the ninth round, and Sullivan landed a punch on my jaw that simply made me see stars. He was just about to follow it up with q right hand swing that would surely have put me out of the business when O'Rourke stopped the bout. That was my first real bout.''
