SULLIVAN HAD AN
EASY TIME OF II
DID NOT SHOW TO THE
FANS HIS RIGHT TO THE TITLE
OF DEMON"

! Wildly enthusiastic was the large
crowd of fight fans that gathered at the
Orpheum last Saturday evening to
watch the welterweight champion of
the Territory defend his title And he
defended it all right Whatever pos
sessed Silva to imagine he was a
demon" is mystery to the fans.
( True it is that he mixed it a little for
! sullivan i'm the first, but as soon as sui
livan had him gagged there was nothing
to it. Again and again Silva would
rush at his opponent only to hit him
where he wasn't" The clever foot
work of Sullivan was too much for the
Punchbowl favorite.
1t was during the first round that
sullivan was struck at all. He seemed
to be unprepared for the rushes of Sill
va a Ia John L., and itw as not until
the second round that sullivan began
to sidestep and play with Silva.
In the third round Sullivan landed "a
right hook on Slvas jaw. 1t was not
very hard or at least it did not seem
to. but silva fell to the floor and was
counted out. Many of the fans wore
unanimous i'm agreeing the Silva quit
and was not knocked out
