The hotels were crowded clear to the

The arrangements for handling the big
appointments and the electric light equip

a small army of policemen;
Tom Sharkey who. in addition to watch

Dawes financial prospects. was very
busy man. He made the rounds of the
building to see that there We're nc weak
spots where sports might find entrance.
and he was very particular in inStructlng
the ushers as to the kind of coupons they
were to recognize in placing ticket hold
ers in the various sections of seats.
Referee Bob Fitzsin mons was among
the early arrivals, and in fact all of the
New York contingent went to the ring
side early.
A remarkable thing about this fight
gathering was that while there were
any number of heated discussions as to
the merits of the boxers, there was very
little betting, at any rate prior to $780,
1t seemed to be a case of the Sullivan
crowd demanding better odds than Nc
Govern men were willing to give.
All to 1 bets were quickly snapped
up by McGovern'S friends, but they alb
solutely refused to bet 21s to 1, which
was the price generally asked by those
who liked the Sullivan end of it. Every
man with pretentions to knowledge of
form of fighters was besieged for an
opinion.
Dave Sullivan took a terrible beating
before he was forced to acknowledge
the corn of defeat. His face was bruised
out of all seInblanee to a human eoun-
to the floor with a left swing on the
jaw in the fifteenth round. He made
an attempt to rise before the count was
over, according to the notions of most
of those present, and as McGovern
made at him. he dropped to his knees
again. Fitzsimmons then placed his
hand on .AIcCTovern's shoulder and pro-
claimed him the winner.
Sullivan, who had arisen again, m ade
a protest, but F'itzSimmons waved him
to his corner. In making his explana-
lions subsequently. Fftzsimmons said:
Sullivan was on the ground five sec
onds before 1 began to count. AS a
fact, he was down II seconds in all
When he arose he fell from exhaustion
but would have stopped the fight any
how. He was thoroughly beaten and
there might have been a chance for po-
lice interference had 1 allowed them to
continue"
Fitzsimmons describes it as the
greatest fight between little men that
ever took place in this country or any
other, and 1t surely was. 1t was a will
ling fight and grudge fight in all the
term implies.
Sullivan proved the more snowy box

in clean right-handed blows. which had
