HUIHUI COUNTED OUT

that has ever entered local ring. De-
spite his few years at the game he
proved to the fight fans that he is a
nghter Of class and from the way he
polished OF Bill Huihui. the local pride,
this Frisco youngster made hit.
Il was the consensus OF opinion be-
fore this fight that Huihui would win
in walk and odds we're freely wagered
on this opinion. Although Sullivan
came with little or no reputation he
now has the confidence OF the public
to whom he demonstrated that the un.
looked.for is likely to happen.
Sullivan is the first fighter to give
the local ring goers an exhibition OF a
good straight left. This above all other
punches. is the best in a ring battle,
and by its use Sullivan gained the
opportunity to throw some trip-hammer
body blows into Huihui's body that took
all the steam out of the local pride.
From the sound OF the gong, announe-
ing the beginning of the first round,
until the decision was given in the sew.
pnth Sullivan kept up a shower of lefts
to Huihuis face that completely daz.
lied him. Every time that the dusky
fighter stepped in to deliver n punch
he was met by a singing left on the
nose or eye, this latter organ proved
O target for Sullivan and the way he
pecked at this member caused a huge
swelling and discoloration that In
few more rounds would have complete
ny blinded the local lad.
Huihui also deserves credit for his
bulldog tenacity and gameness. He as
simulated n world OF punishment and
after the end OF each round he would

out strong and aggressive In the next.
Hulhui's right swing was a source OF
worriment TO Sullivan that caused the
latter to be cautious. Huihui unlocked
couple of these haymakers that had
they landed would have been curtains
Tor the haole.
The finish came at the end OF the
seventh round, after Huihui had taken
couple OF hard body punches and n
full right swing he had gone to his
knees in n corner OF the ring, at the
count of nine he had started to raise
but when the fatal ten was tolled he
still had his right glove on the mat and
the referee pointed to Sullivan as the
winner.
The hammer.like blows that were
placed on Huihui's stomach and ribs,
were OF such q nature as to sap the
vitality of a much harder looking spec

peared to be. But Bill seemed to thrive

forced the white boxer TO stall for a
few seconds In order to evade any
chances that Huihui might sneak In
on an unguarded spot. This is where
Sullivan's class stood out in prom.
inent manner. Huihui was fair box
or, but against Sullivan he was unable
to use any OF his knowledge TO advant
age. In the parlance OF race-track fra
ternity Il was pitting a shifty selling
platter against a stake horse, with the
same result. For time the platter
made n creditable stand but when the
stake horse let out few wraps the pool
