SPENT A MILLION AND
 DOESN'T REGRET II.
Sullivan Writes About Boxing and Money Making.

Boxing to young men is invigorating, healthful, and one of the best athletic exercises that any young man could indulge in. It makes every muscle in the body act it's part, makes the eye quick the brain conceive every move that his opponent can make. and not as some people think. that a man to be boxer or to know anything of the manly art of self defense, has to have brain that consists of nothing else than brutal instinct.
 Some of the most learned men who represent the United States of America in the halls of congress, were great boxers and athletes; such men as United States Senator Jack Chandler. Roscoe Conkling and John Morrisey. Even at this late date, we have the chief magistrate. the recent president of the United States. himself. who ad- Vocates and boxes continually during his spare hours, or when he finds time that doesn't interfere with his routine of business.
 A man has got to have brains to be a fighter. It is not-necessary for him to have a great physical strength. It goes without saying that little fel- low cannot fight bigger and stronger man than himself; thought he might win for the time being. It is an evident fact that good little man cannot beat a good big man; the same thing ap plies to horses, as a good little horse cannot beat a good big horse. They both must be put in their proper class.
 A man to be fighter must have brains as well as physical ability. As regards a boxer or fighter his person ality must be much the same as that of a general. A good general must know his ground, how to handle his men and place them to the best ad- vantage. or else he win lose his men in useless fighting. The same thing ap- plies to prize fighter; he must. at glance. take in the strength or weak ness of his opponent.
 In stepping into the ring with an op- ponent I feel as if I were going to sit down to a healthy meal neye- was nervous at all A great many people might not believe this, but l never was affected with nervousness in my life Some fighters get nervous. bat this wears off after the first two or th-cc rounds. I have never been affected that way.
 Was I ever knocked down b. Cor bett? I was never knocked down in my life. It was claimed that Mitchell knocked me down. but that was more of a slip than anything else. The blow that it was claimed Mitchell knocked me down with. landed on my chest had both feet close together I was not down a second, but jumped up and went at him.
 Those of us who. like Cassie Chad wick and Lon Whiteman. the former mayor of Duluth. have made a million easy and lost it, do not envy those who have a million or so in stocks that re- fuse to produce since the frenzy set in. We who have lost know the worst. The others can merely console themselves with the thought, Cheer up" the worst is vet to come. I've earned a million in my time. but I've got my moneys worth out of it while it was going and nobody will ever hear me crying over split punch.
 Wen be a long time dead" poor Dan Daly once remarked to me when a fellow who had seen better days struck US for another lease of fife We re- sponded with a yellow back apiece Dan died with the affection of all who knew him and l think the knowledge that he had had a good time without depriying anybody of his share of the
