1t is a shame Of society that it well
comes, counsels and associates with men
who are corrupt and corroding, men who
dip from the fountains of immortality. Why
does not society brand these men with their
true name? Some men with the talent
of sin should not have the label of respec-
liability.
Charity, the things that are done in
thy name! There are those of respccta-

of royalty. They criticise the rabbi or min

Showed Judgment.
Instead of taking long chance of
running into blow that might change
the whole aspect Of affairs, Sullivan
did not make his first move until the
fifth round when he beat Decker into
distress and twice had the Baltimore
man on the floor
In the sixth Sullivan finished the Job.
From the tap OF the gong he waded in
and before the round was half over
landed a straight left to the Jaw which
sent Decker's head back and before he
could recover Sullivan followed UP with
a terrific right upper ut TO the body
that drove Decker to he canvass. He

Kid Sullivan, OF this city, requited
for some Of his comparatively mediocre
show;uRs of late when he won clean
cut victory by the knockout route over
Dummy Decker last night before Al

came in the sixth.
After the severe mauling Bert keyes
administered in Savannah on Thanks

lieved that SuIlivan's DAYS az a fighter
We're over and that if he was to re-
enter the ring 1t would be In pre-
liminaries.
But last night here was a totally
different tale. From a point of view
of physical condition Sullivan appeared
IN as prime shape as at any time dur
ing his long career and had no trouble
IN making the weight. He had to con-
cede q 5ecidaa advantage in height and
reach to his opponent but once the
kid got down TO action he soon over
came these decided advantages by his
Characteristic boring in and landing

Sullivan Handicapped.
One OF the handicaps under which
Sullivan has labored in some Of his
fights has ben his inability TO change his
style quickly for he has relied mostly
upon forcing his way to his opponents
regardless of the hammering ne himself
has received in attempting 10 deliver
telling blow.
