NOT so GOOD ON DEFENSE

Kid Sullivan proved for the third time
last night, before the Eureka Club in
Baltimore. that he is the master of
Tommy DAILY in the boxing game, but
before he d.d it he came within an ace
OF going to sleep.
It was the fourth meeting between
these men. and Sullivan has now won
three times. He was in excellent condi-
ton, and did not raise the beam at io5
pounds, while Daily was fat and looked
10 weigh about 1SS. Al Herford claimed
that Tommy weighed 145. and was call
ed a lair by the irate BrOoklynite, who
said he was not more than two or three
pounds over 1sS It is more likely that
he was five or six TO the good.
Sullivan won in the eighth round with
three body blows that would have made
Marvin Hart take notice He sent
right punch to the stomach that COM
pleteIy paralyzed his opponent. DAILY
dropped toward Sullivan, and as he
, came IN the Kid handed him two lefts
in the same place. DAILY fell directly
into a clinch, and Sullivan. not know
ing his man was out. landed two or
three more on the kidneys for LUCK
Tommy went 10 the floor absolutely
helpless. and all was over.
Faster ofIense.
Sullivan was faster on his onense last
night than he has ever been before
and was able 10 change his pace with
greater facility. His right was whipping
around Days ears all the time, and his
left was seeking the face. but the execu-
tion with the left was not particularly
deadly.
On the defense Sullivan was not up
TO his usual standard. He had fought
Daily three times before and knew his
style perfectly. but did not show any
special aptness IN lodging the danger
Gus right swings which Daily was send
ing to the head. The openings he left
or four rounds DAILY was so fll or
business and landing so many blows
thai the Washington contingent was
more than nervous
from the mix-up DAILY caught the Kid
sQuarely On the point OF the Jaw snd
great sudeenness. There was a look
OF childish surprise on his face, ana
he did not seem to realize what had
happened until Jim o O'Hara counted up
to FIVE then he took notice, and at Elne
he got up, still dazed but full of fight,
In the next round DAILY put a left 10
the chest. and Sullivan went TO the
hoor again. but that was more Of fall
than a knockdown.
Superior at Infghting.
Where Sullivan was all TO the good
was in inhghting. at which he had the
Brooklynite bunalOed. DAILY is getting
along in years and has received some
fierce poundings in his time. and when
those triphammer blows began jarring
his kidneys with unfaiIing regularity
after the third round his hopes grad
ually faded, and even If the defeat had
not come in the form Of one decisive
swat it is probable that he would not
have stood the gan more than twelve
rounds.
Before Daily was led 20 the slaughter
Johnny O'Connor challenged Sullivan on
behalf OF Tommy Lowe. Al Herford re-
piled that If Johnny would post for
felt he would give Lowe fight with
Sullivan next week and all the purse II
he stayed fifteen rounds with his fellow
Washington boxer. O'Connor immediate

Dispute About Weight.
O'Connor wanted Sullivan to make I31
pounds for Lowe. but the HeTfOrds
claimed they did not know enough about
Tommy to take any chances and insist
ed upon 132 pounds. This detail has not
yet been settled. but Lowe should hold
out for Is0 as he viii not go over Us
and can easily do 126
Lowe is in good shape just at pres
ent. but viii need all Of II to hold out
against the aggressive offense displayed
by Sullivan last night Inhghting vii

also strong at that game and has adopt
