 It All Over sullivan-other Fighting ] News. l Philadelphia, Nov 19.-Jack O'Brien of this city had marrow escape from
 being knocked out in six-round bout
 at, the National A. c. here last night. l He met Jack Sullivan of Boston ana
 was knocked down three times with body blows. But his generalsh1p anu
 knowledge of the manly art, coupled
 with gameness, saved his reputation.
 Toward the latter part of the comoat
 he was himself again and more than
 held his own. Had a decision been
 rendered he would have been declareu
 the victor. This was OBr1ens nrsr
 fight since his return from England.
 Sullivan's showing was a revelauoh
 and his stock took big boost l Hack McGuigan was the referee. l O'Brien opened the proceedings oy
 iabbine the left and hooking the same
 hand on the eye. Sullivan then missed
 hard right for the jaw, and return O'Brien caught him on the nose with 1 a right jab. O'Brien followed with a
 right on the neck, and Sullivan
 smashed the left into O'Brien's w1nd'
 Sullivan rushed OBrien to the ropes
 but O'Brien came back with an upper cut on the chin. When they came to-
 gether again Sullivan swung the right,
 landing under the heart, and put l O'Brfen down. He repeated with an-
 other right on the wind and OBr1en gain went to the boards. O'Brien was weak when he arose the last time ana
 hugged to save himself. The bell was boon for him.
 Sullivan began the second by catch 1 ing O'Brien on the Jaw with left
 hook. OBrien retaliated with a
 heavy left on the ribs and clinch fol- l lowed. Sullivan played for the body again, mailing O'Brien twice with The
 right. O'Brien then came back and
 1arred Sullivan with a right swing on 1 the chin.
 O'Brien came up for the third strong.
 He iabbed Sullivan three times with
 the left on the mouth. O'Brien kept
 LID these tactics, drawing blood from
 Sullivan's nose. A hard right to the l jaw and left to the body put Sullivan .down, and he took the count. When
 he arose he was groggy. Sullivan was l in a bad way and c1inched repeatedly
 to avoid punishment.
 ] O'Brien opened the fourth with a left l jab, and the next moment appealed to
 the referee saying that Sullivan was striking low. Fast fighting followed,
 Sullivan being worsted at close range. But Sullivan was gritty and aiming

 right to the solar plexus. OBrien was 1 down for six seconds. When they re- sumed hostilftfes O'Brfen evened things
 up by jabbing Toward the end of this
 round O'Brien again appealed to the
 referee, declaring that he was being l fouled
 A few exchanges marked the earlier stages Of the fifth round. Sullivan kept on rushing, and O'Brien had all he
 could do to avoid his rivals wild swings. OsBrien outpointed Sullivan, i but did not have the Bostonian in any ] danger. -} The sixth round was full of ginger
 There was general mixing up, both
 scoring with effect. Sullivan begged 1 away at O'Brien's body, while the 1 Quaker directed his attention to the l ribs and face O'Brien caught Sulli-

 That Jimmy Britt, the champion l lightweight of California, is a great
 drawing card was again demonstrated
 in his recent bout with Charley Sieger, l the Hoboken fighter. Although Sieger has been beaten many times the fol- lowers of pugilism turned out in big numbers to see the battle. The gross receipts of the show were $9,214. t The followers of Aurelia Herrera, the Mexican, who recently knocked out Kid Broad, received a shock when a 1 hitherto unknown fighter defeated their | man at the Reliance A. O., Oakland, 1 Gal, last Tuesday night. Herrera met 1 Jack Cordell Of Hayes Valley in a if | teen round mill, and although the scrap went the limit the Mexican was out pointed all the way through. For four teen rounds Cordell had the mill well in hand, but in the fifteenth and last round Herera rushed things and had Cordell on the floor twice. But each time Cordell recovered and at the finish l was just as strong as when he started Willie Fitzgerald, the Brooklyn light weight, won another fight in Philadel- 1 phia last Tuesday night by outpointing Kid Williams in & six-round bout. The l mill was fast throughout and both
 showed excellent judgment in leading
 and hitting It looked as if the con- bat would end in hurry. In the first round Fitzgerald ruched at Williams
