Sullivan says Jack X. Johnson, col

in Sydney in IA rounds yesterday, has
no right to claim the worlds heavy

never champion. He says the pres

''The fight ended as l expected"
said John L. Sullivan. 'T never
could see how a little good man
could whip a good big man, even
with a victory over so-called cham

opinion, Burns was never champion
of the world, and the negro can't as
sumo that title. l do not think the
