SULL|YAN'S RISE
HAS BEEN RAPID
In Two Years Washington Boxer Has
Moved to Front of His
Class.

The rise of Kid Sullivan as profess
sionaI boxer las baen decidedly rapid.
From a practically unknown boxer two
years ago he has boxed his way to the
foremost rank in his class.
About two years ago little was known
about him outside Of Washington He
had shown some promise, and bout
between him and Sammy Meyers, who
was then living in Baltimore, was ar
ranged. The bout was pulled off at
SchlegeFs Han, and Meyers was sent
to dreamland in two rounds. His next
bout was with Jimmy" Briggs, in Bos-
ton. The set-to was a coTker, and q
draw resulted. After that he met Joe
Tipman and received q Well-earned de-
cision over him at the close of fifteen
rounds. The most important of his last
winter bouts was with Eddie Hanlon.
1t resulted in ten-round draw, and i
was voted one of the fastest pugiIistic
battles that was ever witnessed III Bal
| tirnore. He later met Tommy DAILY. and
was awarded the decision over the for
| mer Brooklyn lad.
t This winter ne met DAILY on two &C
casions, The first battle was after a
| long trip to the coast. 'SuIly" was out
EOf condition and lost. The next time, he
Ebeat DAILY to Il standstiIl, and won at
Ethe close of the contest.
! His last bout was with Tipman, whom
he put away in seven rounds.

tour billiard championship last year,
back from the tournament now in prog
Fess in Chicago, some of the inside his
tory Of that competition has been
brought to light. Poggenburg said yes
terday that the managers Of the Chi
cago tourney had experienced ali sorts
Of trouble with conditions although
they had treated all Of the competitors
with the greatest consideration.
The cause of the low averages. he said
was due TO the fact that nearly all Of
the players devoted TOO much attention
To spreading the balls widely about the
table instead OF holding them close for
runs, which Is the pleasing feature Of
the fouTteen-inch balk-Iine game. This
opsn play. he said, was in the nature OF
safety, made large runs impossible and
Ious figures.
High Mari. of y.
He cited his own mark of 79. which
remains the high run OF the tournament
and the run made by ConkIin or Satur-

Poggenburg further said that Colonel
Hamburger the chairman of the bill

Association. was anxious for him 10 re-

hold open his schedule OF matches, but
that important matters here made il
impossible for him 70 take advantage
or this generous offer.
IN the estimation OF the IIeGerkranz
Club expert, Edward W. Gardner. Of
Passaic, \. J., and this city, IS the most
