JOHN AND JAKE
 IN VAUDEVILLE

Chicago. July 22.-John L. SuI- liyan and Jake Ktlraln, the olG gray, grand-daddiea of the prize ring who made Boston a synonym for pugilism as well as culture, ap- peared for the first time at the White City today in q joint vaude- yille sketch. Tn the course of their act the adip0se ex-gladiators boxed four rounds. illustrating the impor- tant blows in their famous knuckIa battle for the championship al Richbar-.

 One the bitterest enemies. t aV- pears strange to see this pair of oaoe might serappers sparring on tha friendliest terms with each other. bit. like politics, the fighting game makes strange bedfelIows.
 Since Sullivan settled down to comparative peace and quiet three years ago, he doped out the mental proposition that it would be best to be on hand shaking terms with all the rest of the world. The chip he as worn on his shoulder for so loug has disappeared and the great John L. became a regular reader of Ella WheeIer Wilcoxfs new thought" gospel. Now he says he hasn't an enemy anywhere-except always James J. Corbett. Even the meta physical mildew of the gifted Ella can't wean John L. from holding the thought that the pompadoured one is unfit for 6 Boston gentleman to associate with. On the whole, however, the change in John L. s remarkable and is in evidence in his actions, his appearance and his conversation. The many kind and charitable acts the big fellow has nprf0rrnpd in tha last two wears shows that he is sincere.
 Sullivan hasn't allowed the new thought to interfere with business and still has a keen eye for the coin. That is why he and his manager, Frank Hall decided to form a par nership with Sully's old foe. Jake Kiirair. The latter at first looked upon the proposition with suspicion but the el0auence of Sullivan final ly convinced him. Prior to becoming vaudeville hero, kilrain was a policeman in Somerville, 3 suburb of Boston, a position which he re- signed to take up the present tour.
 Sullivan and Kilrain are Booked for eight weeks at the White City, and then the former goes on the road with a burlesque show. The ex- champions will do their stunt twice a day while in Chicago.
