These be busy days for Kid Sullivan.

lightweights-and their sparring part

teen rounds in Baltimore tomorrow
night before Al HerfOrd's Eureka Ath-
letic Club in Germania Maennerchor

They are to weigh 1S3 pounds at
D n. tomorrow. This will give Sulli-
van no trouble. but Lowe must get Of
ABOUT four pounds he only got the
hght Friday afternoon. when HEREFORD
learned that Dave Deshler, who was
originally to meet Sullivan. had broken
his arm on Wednesday, and. while he
had been doing light training. he was
nos at weight by any means. Within
twenty minutes after agreeing to take
the match Lowe was at work. His
FIRST stunt was a little boxing set-to
with Aleclx Brown for three rounds. It
was supposed TO be a mere warming
up, but as a matter of fact they were
at 1t hammer and tongs.
Rivals Training Rivals.
Brown is preparing for his grudga
bum watch on Aleck a few days ago
and forced that unfortunate smoke TO
go four or I'VE rounds Of five or six
minutes each. and then, when Aleck
/ was nearly all in from exhaustion,
Janey finished the job with a right
swing on the jaw.
Janey IS training Kid Sullivan and
at the same time preparing for Brown.

Good Weight for Both.
Sullivan weighed 133 pounds yesterday
after working and could get down to
80 without trouble. but Lowe had such
short notice there was little dispute
about the weight. and the 133 at D. m.
VIII leave both strong and at their
best. Sullivan was. actively preparing
Tor Deshler when the Bostonian broke
hls arm. and intended 70 use the VIC
tory he anticipated over Dave as
means OF getting a return match with
Tommy Murphy, who knocked out Sui
livan in Baltimore last spring on a very
doubtful decision. Another crack at
Murphy has become Sullivau's main
object in life, and as he thinks he can
accomplish that just as we'll by putting
away Lowe, Tommy viii find himself
against an opponent who means bust
ness from the first tap Of the gong.
Sullivan saw Lowe fight Eddie Carter
In Baltimore two weeks ago, and said
yesterday Tommy showed nothing then
that would make him lose any sleep.
On If other hand, Jerry Mccarthy and
the other Lowe men who were at the
Lowe-Carter festivities declare Love

they ever saw him before, and are will

How They Dope It Out.
When Sullivan stopped Lowe at their
former meeting, which was November
10. 1906. Sullivan was at his very best
while Lowe was not as clever or as
experie fenced as he has now become
Since then, Sullivan has met with re-
verses. and the Lowe camp claims ne is
neither as shifty nor possessed Of as
deadly a punch as he had two years
ago. They figure Tommy VIII be able
to lab the Kids head OF and prevent
him from fighting into the body, which

has a right cross that has caused

Unusually Anxious to Win.
one thing is certain, two Washington
fighters were never moce anxious 10
win than Sullivan and Lowe. They have
been talking. betting stage money,
putting Up and pulling down forfeits and
exchanging harsh comments about each
G. hers style for che past year. Only
recently they reached the point where
they agreed 10 fight before Herford's
oluh late in September OF early in Oc-
tober for a side bet of $3.50. Sullivan had

OF that amount 10 50 as side bet, but
Lowe was not certain about some en-
gagements made for him In Philadelphia
and was holding of 10 await develop
ments. when Deshler met with his acci-
dent AMI the meeting Of next Monday
was precipitated.
Sentiment and expert opinion are both
widely divided IN Washington, and the
fight Is creating more talk than any
other single sporting topic in the city,
not even the great pitching OF Walter
johnson. When Sullivan and Lowe had
their first fight in Baltimore, between
