Il Imagined IL was winter AGAIN Nilen
l opened my ayes this morning and
thought it was the day before my bat
tie with Jack Johnson, / guess I'll talk
about the old and new style of fighting
for a change and begin with my old
friend John l.. Sullivan, known the
world over, not only by reputation as
a prize fighter, but for his charitable
acts and good nature.
Sullivan won because he was won
derfully strong. Smashing in he broke
his opponents guard down, walloped
him on the jaw with his right and put
him out. But When Sullivan met Cor
bett he was up against a clever fellow
and wasn't able to hit ninlble Jim one
effective blow in the twenty-one rounds
Efhey fought. When McGovern met
Young Corbett the first time at Hart
ford the latter just waited for one OF
| Terry's mad ruslles, and, mailing him
on the jaw. sent him down and out.
Many of McGovsrn's followers thought
that It was3an accidental blow, so the
boys met again. and Young Corbett re-
peated these tactlcs, with the am re-
! suit. 8
Mitchell n Clever Boxer.
What was sullivan able to do with
Charley Mitchell when lie had him In
the ring at Chantilly, France, for more
thar three hours? Nothing. Mitchell
was too clever for a wild swinger like
Sullivan. and simply avoided 9Th bis
fellow until the latter was SO tired tina
lie was willing to agree TO a draw.
