WILL JOIN FORCES.
John L. Burics Hatchet and Makes
Peace With Jake kilrain.

Boston, July 11.-Once the bitterest
of enemies, but now good friends, John
l.. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain. the old,
gray-haircd gladiators of the prize
ring, who made Boston the most inn
portant spot on the pugiliStic map,
are to travel together. 1t will seem
strange to see this pair of once great
fighters Sparring on the friendlIeSt OF
terms with each other, but, like poll
tics, the boxing game produces strange
companions.
Since Sullivan settled down, nearly
three years ago, and began to reflect,
he figured that it was best to be at
peace with the world; and SO he is now
an enemy to no man-with one excep-
ton, Jim Corbett. The change in the
big fellow has been remarkable; for
his actions, talk, and the many kind
acts he has performed throughout the
country within the last few years dem
onStrate that he is sincere.
Both with keen eye for business.
Sullivan and his manager, Frank Hall.
decided that a combination with his
old foe. kilrain. would be q strong
card on the vaudeville stage and that
the money would flow into their Golfers
faster and more abundantly than ever.
Manager Hall. who is a thoroughly
up-to-datc and experienced theatrical
man, set to work at once to effect the
combine, and he met with no OPPOSE
ton. Jake Iiilrain, who is now a park
policeman at SomCrville. figured that
while his present occupation is not at
all distaStcful to him, still the terms
that Manager Hall offered him are
more rcmuncrative and yesterday he
sent word to Mr.. Hall that he would
accept his proposition.
1t is Halls intention to have writ
ten for them a short sketch, in the
course of which they will box, showing
the important blows they used in their
famous knuckle fight for the cham
pinnShip at Richburg. July s, 1889; al
though. of course. they will not en-
pl"y the same force in delivering them
that they did on that day.
1t is expected that they will begin
thcir. theatrical tour in five or six
weeks
