The Washington times., 1907-09-17

IN the breakaway The question OF rules
was first suggested about noon yester-
day by Lowe. who wanted 70 know how
he was 20 fight. He wanted clean breaks
and no hitting in clinches, but IL was
pointed cut that he made his reputation
around Washington by has ability as an
infghter, and he agreed &c fight one
orul-free and break when ordered by
the referee. The hitting on the break
away was not discussed. and he evil
IDENTIFY did not think OF IL himself until
he reached the hall Then he insisted
on clean breaks. sullivan insisted upon
being allowed TO hit at any time, and
between them they held up the bout
twenty minutes.
Little Execution in Breaks.
Finally, Lowe remarked. 'I'n fight you
anyhow" extended his hand for a
shake, sDd they were OF.
As far as results were concerned, they
might just as we'll have begun promptly
and had clean breaks. or no discussion
on that point. Ia the early rounds SUI
Ivan reached Lowe twice with haro
rights on the breaks. But Lowe was
not behind in this. The best smash he
delivered in the fifteen rounds was q
crack on the Jow with right as the
referee stepped from between them, and
Il Jared Sullivan to a noticeable extent
as the scrap progressed each man was
too cautious, and needed his strength
too much &c waste any energy or take
any risks by sharpshooting in the
breaks. and it settled down 20 thor
Cughly clean, straightforward contest.
Twelfth Round.
The twelfth round was probably Sui
livnn's best and loves worst Lowe

Ivan was after him without ceasing.

loves best trick. a straight left to the
body and right cross TO the jaw.
Sullivan's Judgment Of distance was
defective and he missed many swings.
Lowe was better at landing on the
mark when he showed his occasional
bursts of responsiveness.
Lowe Showed Sporting Blood.
Although he lost. Lowe deserves credit
for making the match. Sullivan is the
one man he is most anxious 10 beat, and
they have been dickering for a year,
trying TO get a slight advantage IN the
weights OF other conditions, yet when
II was announced Friday that Dave
DeshIer. who was billed 10 meet Sulli-
van. had broken his arm, Lowe promptly
agreed to act rs substitute on Monday.
Il wss a game and creditable sporting
act, and made Lowe many friends. His

Aleck Brown Won.
That semi-windup between Jim Janey
and Aleck Brown. negro trainers fol
Sullivan and Lowe. respectively, was
wonder. Jane- was TO stop Brown II

between SO and 100, but he didn't de
liver the goods. On the contrary, In tn,
first two rounds Aleek went after Janey
hammer and tongs and banged hin
around the head so much that Jane,
lost his enthusiasm. After that squirt
Brown began stalling, and Referee Pa
O'Connor earned whatever he got a.
referee. When the last session wa
over, Brown was decidedly rocky. bu
game as a pebble and Janey was ais
thoroughly tired.
