MitcheIIs

for some time TO come. unless / go on to
Alaska. Several pressing invitations have
come to me to go up TO the Kloadike
country, where juicy purses are TO be
hung UP by the miners. and If some of
the beefy bruisers will agree to meet
me there the entertainment would be sat-
isfactory all around.
At present writing there seems to be a
fair chance that Charley Mitchell will
meet me in ring on the coast some
where, and If he does and 1 am able to
catch him 1 hope TO convince him that he
escaped a knockout when we met in
France years ago. This meeting, if it
comes of. will make a good many people
think that the clocks are going back
ward. Here's a brief report of the fight
between myself and Mitchell, written by
one OF the fairest men that ever lived,
John Boyle o'ReiIly, in a book he print
ed soon after the battle.
The men fought near Chantilly, France.
on March 10. 1883. for $500 and the cham
pionship Of the world. The rules were
those OF the London prize ring, and
these rules enabled the inferior man to
escape. and might easily have made him
the victor. The fight lasted three hours
and eleven minutes in which time thirty
nine regular rounds and four or five ir-
regular rounds were fought. After five
or six rounds, during which he was
knocked down literally every time he
stood up. Mitchell adopted q system of
running away and falling to escape
blows. A cold rain was falling on the
fighters and Sullivan became chilled. and
in the thirty-fifth round Sullivan had a

had hurt his right hand he was too
heavy TO plough through the mud after
his running adversary. whom he could not
catch; SO he agreed to end the contest
as a draw"

could then you can guess where he'll get
of at when get him again at arms
length.

I don't want 10 do any knocking, and
believe that JEFF should have credit for
all he has done. but he has made his
record walloping Fitzsimmons and some
second-raters. Fitz. OF course. never be-
longed in the heavyweight class. and all
honor 70 him for what he did in It. He
put Corbett out. but Corbett never had
any punch. The gentleman boxer put it
over me by copying Mitchelrs game.

the particulars of his brothers visit to

he would take the body to New York
