Madden, whom he would have scorned as an oppo-
nent nagged and worried him numerically in their
training bouts. He finally induced to step around
while in action but it lesson that he never thor
oughly learned He depended almost entirely upon
his vast strength and amazing agility above the waist
The most that Madden could do was to prove to him
the value of a rush. Sullivan was willing to rush. but
any and all other foowork he simply refused to un-
derstand. Dancing tricks were good enough for
others whose safety lay getting out of the reach OF
John L.
In the hitting Madden labored in vain to introduce
some variety into Sullivans style Sullivan knew only
three blows He had a downward chopping stroke
with his left which he used chiefly to break and beat
down his opponents guard. 1t was usually effective
Tor with his heavy fist wrist he could numb the
arm of ordinary fighter. Then he had straight
right drive that could have fattened the nose of the
Sphinx if it had one. Last, and best in Suvans es-
tmation, his right clubbing swing 1t made lit
tie difference to him how he landed the arm
He could not be driven scolded or begged into
trying any method of aggression not included within
these three blows, which he would spice occasionally
with left drive exactly like the right one He never
learned any others Nor, for such a fighter as he,
were any others really necessary
But Improvement Madden was able to bring
about. Sullivan's plan was to hold off his artillery
until he chance and then slam in with every
ounce of steam he could generate He had no hitting
Judgment and expended too much force on five blows
out of six Madden taught him to nurse his strength
and SO far succeeded that Sullivan wasted no more
than three times the energy he needed
When Madden had whipped his youngster as nearly
into shape possible he formed partnership
with him, brought him to New York and started to
manufacture the word knockout" The managers
shrewd estimate of Sullivans terrific hitting power
the basis for offer that afforded novelty TO
the fight following public and advertising for Sulli-
van. Any who stayed four rounds with him was
to have $50 reward Sullivan found this well to
his liking, had easy time of it. and the firm paid
out money until he met "Tug" Wilson, soon after
winning the championship Sullivan never could refer
to that instructive little affair without temper for
afterward
Tug Wilson old and crafty English boxer
in no way match for Sullivan except with his feet
and his fighting head He had not the slightest nten-
ton of allowing Sullivan hit him for four rounds or
at all, but he had very definite intention of lasting
the four rounds and thereby winning considerable
sum privately promised him by Madden Madison
Square Garden was hired for the bout 1t was sad
night for the invincble John L. Wilson ran away
from him. ducked and lodged and hugged and pranced
the Merry Andrew. Sullivan charged at him. drove
him all over the ring and started to demosh him
every 10 seconds. When he launched his mighty
knockout swings he found nothing but the ncorporeal
air. AT the end of the four rounds Wilson was

Ryan, seeking to work himself out of his uneasiness
in this fight as he had in his previous meeting with
Goss, tented right and drove cautiously with the left
but short. Sullivan did not hop away from the
blow, Ryan had expected but swung his left upon
the guard and slammed his right, also missing This
was the extent of the sparrng" in the fight what
corresponded to the usual snappy display of style
which the later masters of pugilism had made ia
miliar Neither of these men knew cared about
such frivolity, and the instant the heavy work
began
Ryan led his left, but was again short and broke
ground Sullivan, impatient, rushed several short
steps Sullivan slammed left and swung right as he
came Ryan stopped the first handily but the sec
ond pounding through in typical Sullivan manner,
caught Ryan tremendous, full power smash to the
side of the neck, whrling him irresistbly aside to
stagger and fall The round lasted less than minute
and Ryan's supporters watched in dumfounded
silence while the champion was carried to his corner
and the Sullivan pdrty yelled itself into frenzy
The swift and unexpected check seemed to have
thrown haze about Ryan, who was still irving TO
figure out exactly what had happened when the sec
ond round called He approached the mark
slowly, much too slowly for Sullivan who was one of
the most impatient of fighters Sullivan was at the
scratch before Paddy was fairly up and went on
into Ryans territory after him, prmed for rou-
Bile, starting with rush. Hammering out with his
left, he let go plungng right drive over Ryan's
lower guard that cracked smartly to the left Jaw
The blow rasped Ryan's ready temper trihe and
snapped him into action. He side stepped and lashed
out right and left missing but coming right on again
and landing neat right swing to the left cheek
Sullivan stood four square and would not give an
inch Ryan ragged at him, displaying good spurt of
speed. He guarded after fashion, but his heart was
never in that department of the game and he was
sending in another arm breaking chopper by way of
breaking path when Ryan, still impetuous rushed in
and clinched Sullivan held him away from lock
with iron grip, and in the struggle each slipped a
hold with the left around the others neck GrapnIed
in this position, thigh to thigh they fought terrific
jarning rally with the shortened right jabbing and
cutting at the face.
Ryans height added to trifling advantage of hold
gave him greater freedom, and he was well started
upon the decoration of Sullivan when Sullivan throw
ing his free around his man, sought for fall
They strained and wrestled for an instant 6erceIv
then went down together, Ryan on top. Both were
carried to their while the Ryan hackers made
up for their earlier silence by camor of applause at
the way Ryan had turned the tables Their elation
slackened somewhat when the referee awarded TO
Sullivan first blood result of his slashng labs at
Ryan's face.

wounded tiger robbed of his prey
HE JUST STOOD STILL
The significance of the event was not then apparent
but the tactics of Tug Wilson foreshadowed those
OF Charley" Mitchell and later of Corbett when he
wore Sullivan out of the championship years later
Sullivan could thrash any man who would stand to
him; he was helpless with the man who could evade
him. In the meanwhile, there was no one to take
the tip Up to the New Orleans fight Sullivan fright
ened or hypnotized absolutely dominated his antag
omsts, SO to speak, into fighting he wished them
to- He forced his own methods upon them and beat
them, as he inevitably must with his unequaled equip
ment. When he had become prominent the Sullivan
way was the championship way and consequently the
right way.
Sullivan made desperate efforts to get Wilson to
sign on tor finish fight after the Madison Square
garden fzzle He swore mighty oaths and promised
TO eat the willy Englishman if he ever had him in
the ring again. Wilson continued his wise policy OF
evasion and went back home to bank his money and
later to share with Charley Mitchell the reputation
OF having stayed to the limit with John L. Sullivan
In 1881 Maddens protege had opportunity to
take on a hnish fight of some importance with John
fiood, formidable fighter of local reputation The
meeting for $1,000 took place on a barge moored in
the Hudson, near Yonkers. The men wore skin tight
gloves and fought under the London prize ring rules
Flood managed stave off the rushing battling ter
ror tor seven rounds In the eighth Sullivan landed
with his left to the jaw. They picked up Flood ten

he was gradually brought back to consciousness

= Ohm LAWRENCE SULLIVAN was born near
Boston, October IS, 1858, and is thus the first
worlds title holder who was an American by
~ BIRTH unless John c. Heenan be counted as
one in a double championship through his draw
with Tom" Sayers. His parents came from County
Kerry, Ireland His mother must have been nota-
bic woman. He frequently has said that his prowess
descended to him from her, his father being little
wiry man, under the average height.
John L. Sullivan received fair education and at
the age OF 10 fastened his ambition upon profess
sional baseball, when traing incident gave to it
another turn. He had a free way of leaving his
employment suspended in mdair when a good base
ball game came pleasant afternoon. His boss
conceived objections this plan and undertook to
impress his views forcibly upon young Sullivan
Sullivan hit him once, whereupon he took an ex-
tended vacation and Sullivan sought pastures new
For years after this Sullivan took part in
amateur boxing contests about Massachusetts, where
he earned the sobriquet of "the Boston Strong Boy"
IT understood thoroughly by all concerned that
if any got in the way of that clubbed forearm
tie decision then and there to the Strong Boy
AT the age of p he was 5 feet 10h inches tall
weighed Us pounds and was built like gorilla
His muscular power was enormous. No prize fighter
Of them all through recorded history possessed such
tremendous development of arms, back shoulders
and loins. Bristly black hair broad large boned
face and truly terrifying grin as fighting express
sion completed as formidable makeup could
well be imagined
At this time Sullivan had clearly defined theory
OF the boxing game. His way was to plant himself
on the fat of his feet as if nailed to the floor and
defy gods and to come within reach of his fists
This good far as it went but Sullivan would
have had difficulty in winning championship with
it if he had carried it any further. His ex-
planaton was that the desirable thing was steady
base of operations and that could upset him
long he held his position, two points which
could hardly be disputed
Among young Sullivan's early exploits was his
brief meeting with Joe Goss in 1872 when the old
fellow champion. Goss took benefit in Boston
and indulgently polished off several local asprants
Sullivan went in his turn for four rounds but
began by humping Joe" the neck and the vet
eran became slightly indsposed. This and many
similar happenings having the of Billy"
Madden, who looking for material to promote
that astute manager hunted up John in 1880 He
saw the youngster box if Sulivan's customary proce-
dure could be called boxing, and then and there de-
clared he had found the next champion
But Madden had hard work before him His imme.
