Sullivan Stops Fisher
frankie Sullivan, the Santa Anita
whirlwind who had whipped all his op-
| ponents since he entered professional
ranks, and Walter Fisher, the popular
San Berdoo towhead, furnished the
semi-windup, scheduled for fifteen
rounds. Odds were laid at ringside at
the rate Of to 1 that Sullivan would
win.
| Honors of the first round went to
Fisher, who managed to get his left
| into good action early in the round and
started the claret. He frequently
lunged with his left to the face and fol-
lowed it into a clinch with hard rights
! to the wind and ribs. Sullivan missed
many vicious swings that might have
ended the fight had they landed, but
| Fisher cleverly ducked all of them.
! Fisher maintained his lead in the sec
fond round by continually working his
| left to the face and pounding Sullivan
on the ribs and kidneys in clinches.
| Sullivan kept up his tactics Of swinging
wildly for a knockout, but Fisher
ducked all Of these.
| Both tried slugging tactics in the
third and Sullivan showed to much bet
| ter advantage than in the preceding
rounds. Sullivan had a shade at. the
gong.

fourth, but Fisher enthused his sup
porters by crossing with his right to the
jaw a couple Of times, it being the first
time in the fight that he had attempted
| to use his walloper.
The fifth was a rough house session
| in which Sullivan had considerably the
best of it. He gave Fisher a severe
beating throughout the round and kept
the San Berdoo boy backing away and
covering up.
| Sullivan would have won in the sixth
round had it been half a minute longer,
! but the gong came to his relief. Sui
slivan found that Fishers weak spot was
| his stomach and he pouided Fisher
1 there throughout the round, with the
result that Fisher was staggering and
so weak he nearly fell when he turned
| to walk to his corner.

in the seventh, Sullivan putting Fisher
down with swing to the head, and
the San Berdoo boy writhed upon the
floor until counted out.
