JOHN l.. GREAT
 FIGHTER? NO.

San Francisco, Oct. 2S.--lS John L.. Sullivan worthy of being included in the list Of the modern gladiators of the prize ring? Is he deserving of a niche in the pugilistic hall of fame? Does his record compare for prowess
 with that of Jeffries and Corbett and T'itzsimmons and Joe Cans?
 All of these questions are answered in the negative by self-constituted committee on who's who in pugilism, headed by Jim Croffoth and Ben Se- liz, and including several other prom inent sports of Frisco. Reviewing the merits and demerits of all the great fighters of the QueensDerry era, they finally decided by vote the ten who are entitled to the laurel wreath of pugilistic fame.
 That the immortal John L. is not among them is perhaps the saddest commentary on the eyanescent nature of fame that has eyer been written. Here is the list of these who were weighed ill the balance and found not wanting:
 RoberG I'ltzsimmons. James J. Cor bet, James J. Jeffries. Peter Jackson, Joseph Cans, Jack Dempsey, Joe Wal cott. George Dixon, George Layigne. and Young Mitchell
