from start to finish in this plan was
his only hope of winning. He followed the
instructions well, but found Sullivan too
rugged a fellow for him to make much i'm
preston on. 1t was a slashing fight from
beginning to end. Sullivan showing SKILL
dash and strength and Tipman displaying
great pluck and endurance. Tipman start
ed out fairly well and made good fight
but the pace that the Washington lad set
soon told on him.
Pace Too Fast for Tipman.
TipmaE made a pretty good showing for
four rounds, but after that seemed to be
on his last legs several times. He was
game to the core, and came back with an
apparent desire to mix it. Sullivan forced
the fighting, doing most of the leading. He
had terrible straight left jab, which wor-
ried Tipman.
Sullivan had also a hard right hand
punch, which he worked in when they stood
off at long range. Sullivan did most of his
fighting in the first four rounds with the
left, but when the fifth was reached he
varied his attack, placing blows in the
clinches over the Baltimore boys kidneys.
TIpman worked his left into the face of
Sullivan, and by the second round he had
the claret flowing from his nose. That was
not hard to accomplish. the least jolt
on Sullivan's nose will start the blood fiow-
ing. In the fifth round Tipman sent his
rifle, and he had the Kid little queered.
Sullivan had decided advantage of the
going for the first three rounds. In the
fourth he quickened the pace, and from
there on had Joe up a tree.
Tipman was inclined to stay away and
count leads, while Sullivan used every
move to get in close, so to get all the
benefit of his Short-arm ammunition. Sulli-
van rushed continually, striving to break
down Joe's guard. and when tied up and
joted snapped in uppercuts that were
wearying.
Sullivan's boring methods had Tipnan
much in distress on several occasions.
End in Sight
Tipman was down when the bell sounded
in the fifth, where Sullivan's left to the jaw
had sent him. Sullivan went at Tipman in
the sixth, sending Joe off his feet and put
ting him in such bad shape that he was
easy in the next round.
In the seventh round Sullivan sent a left
to the face and Joe staggered. Another left
found his jaw and Tipman went down for a
count of nine. When he got up Sullivan
sent in several hard jolts to the body and
face and Joe was going fast. He could not
protect himself from the onslaught After
a shower of blows Tipman went down for a
count of nine. He was barely on his feet

appreciated the fact that he was beaten
and took the count. When the tenth second
