PAPKE IS WORLDS
MIDDLE We light
CHAMPION
Defeats Jim Sullivan Of England
in Nine Fierce Rounds
FIGHTER DOWNED A BOXER
EngIshman's Science Failed to Stand
of Rushing Attack Of "IIllnols'
Thunderbot"

London, June Billy Papke, the
American middleweight, otherwise
known as the illinois Thunderbolt,"
last night took the measure OF Jim
Sullivan, the middleweight champion
OF England, in nine rounds of fast
and furious fighting. Again il was
the fighter against the boxer and
the fighter won.
The contest was for the worlds
middleweight championship, a purse
of $4,000, and side bet. II was
pulled off under the management OF
Hugh ID. Mcintosh, the Australian
promoter, who hired the Palladium,
one of London's noted music halls,
for that purpose and crowded it TO
the doors.
The fight was a gruelling one
throughout Sullivan proved the
cleverer at long range work, but
Papke excelled at infighting. There
was much clinching and hitting in
the clinches and the referee, Eugene
CORR, was compelled to remain in
the ring, contrary to the English Gus
tom, having difficulty at times in
separating the men. He warned
Papke twice.
The meeting of the American and
English champion had been the sole
topic of discussion in sporting circles
for some days past, and large sums
were paid for ringside seats Not
withstanding that the fight had been
advertised as America VS.. England.
Papke ruled strong fGYOrite in the
betting at odds of to 2, and in some
cases, 2 to /. Papke had long list
of knockouts to his record, while Sui
livan's best fight was that in which
he defeated Tom Thomas and won
the middleweight championship OF
England and the Lonsdale belt.
Sullivan was nervous when he
climbed into the ring but after the
fight had gone a few rounds he
seemed to recover confidence. For a
time he was able to stand off the
sturdy Papke, who roughed it from
the beginning, and lodged with great
cleverness several of the slashing
swings of the American which had
they landed, would have ended the
fight then and there. He used his
left and right with good judgment
but without affecting the stamina Of
Papke. who was able to take an un
limited amount of punishment.
Towards the close of the ninth
round Papke landed savage upper
cut, which put Sullivan to the floor
He took a count of five, and, wher
the bell rang, staggered blindly tC
his corner.
When the call to the tenth roun(
sounded, Sullivan was unable t
stand up, and CORR awarded the fgh
to the American amid great enthus
iasm.

Two runaways caused bit of ex.

o'clock Saturday morning. Two mules
attached to wagon, owned by /. T.
Cook, made a spectacular dash down
Norfolk avenue, but after having run
about three blocks the driver secured
perfect control over the animals. The
wagon was loaded with coal Five
minutes later the Cook wagon was fol.
lowed by farmers wagon drawn by
two heavy horses. The animals made
record time going east on Norfolk av-
enue. When the culvert covering the
underground ditch on Third street was
reached, the neckyokes broke and the
horses were turned loose from the
wagon. The farmer retained his grasp
on the reins for only an instant, when
the horses made their escape, going
one way, and the wagon, by its own
force rolled on It's wheels for about a
block. The farmer was not injured.

Rebel Violates Armistice.

Mexico City, May 22.-In the name
of peace, Gen. Ambrosio Figueroa,
took possession of Cuernavaca, which
was deserted just before dawn by Col.
Munguia and his little force of less
than 200 men. Technically violating
the terms of the armistice by moving
his forces, the rebel leader justifies
his action by the statement that he
entered the states capital solely for
the purpose of maintaining order.
