SULLIVAN is DISCOUNTED.
Says Burns Never Was Champion and
BeiittIes Johnson's Title

St. Paul, Minn.-John L. Sullivan
was not surprised at the outcome of
the Burns-Johnson fight in Australia.
The fight come out very much as
l had predicted said Sullivan. Even
with his victory over the so-called
hampion-though in my opinion
Burns never was the champion prize
fighter of the world-the negro can't
assume that title, for the present-day
fights. They are boxing matches
when padded mitts are used by the
bouts cannot truly be styled prize
contestants.
Il can't see where Johnson will be
given a high nosition in the opinion
of the general American public. !
am of the opinion that the American
public is fast losing interest in the
manly art of self defense. 2
