Sullivan will accompany Al Herford with
Joe Cans when Cans goes TO the Pacific

This trip should do Sullivan a world
Of good. He has shown in all OF his
fights that he could hit hard blow, and
could stand terrific punishment. but he
has never learned the finer points of
boxing. He has no footwork worth men
tioning, and his movements are awk-

poorly delivered. and ne is not a good
