SULLIVAN SAYS
He ONCE HELD
WORLD s TITLE
Old Heavyweight Declares He
Beat Michel in America and
Whipped All Comres.
By Ned Brown.

NEW YORK. March 2O.-"Was /
N ever heavyweight champion of
the world?''
Old John L. Sullivan repeated the
question. had explained to him that
so per cent of the latter-day pugilis-
tic experts maintain he was. while
the other SO per cent are equally pos
tive that he was merely champion of
America.
I'VE get a barrel Of queries every
month on this subject, and no matter
which way we answer, we get rise
out of somebody. So we've put it up
to you. What's the answer"
well, now, listen TO me, young fell
low" began the imperishable idol Of
al, fight fans as he grasped the back
Of chair and seated himself hobby
horse fashion. 81 licked Paddy Ryan
for the championship or America,
didn't l? And then after going
through all the rest of 'em l licked
Jake Kilrain for the championship Of
the world with bare knucl1les. didn't
I? l refused to fight Peter Jackson
in public because he was a negro,
but I offered to fight him IN private
for any amount of side bet and the
championship and he refused, DIDN'T
he?"
As the last two words rumbled out
"A in a crescendo roar l jumped
slightly and FASTENED to affirm that
he certainly did, although l mum
bled alphabetically that I wasn't there
at the time, but
And then didn't meet all corners
and flatten 'em as fast as they came,
or rather as fast as Dick Fox could
import 'em from all over England,
ireland, Wales and every other place
that was then on the map?
'T did"
And now, I ask you, what would
you call a man that had done all
those things?"
Gee whiz! I'd hate to call him
anything-except over the telephone"
/ answered, but, then, Mr.. Sullivan,
your decision is that you were the
champion of the world"
1T sure is roared John L., and
I'm still the champion of the world
under London prize ring rules, AND
he looked about as If to challenge
anybody to deny it.
GAS for that argument about me
"A never having beaten Charhe
Mitchell, will say that l did get a
decision over Mitchell on May IA.
1888. when we fought for the gate re-
ceipts in this city.
81 feel just as well to-day as | ever
did in my life" continued Sullivan,
and he certainly looks it. Despite his
50 years, his skin is clear as a child's,
his eye keen and bright, his mind
alert and his voice as deep and gruff
as ever.
Every man ought to feel good. If
he'll only take care of himself. Yes
/ know they all blame 1t on BOOZE
but booze never hurt me. 1t never
hurts anybody if he knows how to
drink. but men hurt themselves by
abusing booze. Since the reformers
have gotten after the saloons they've
made room for worse evil Why
ten years ago a dope fiend was
rarity-now there's a million of en-
"You know, a mans stomach is the
biggest part of him. II he'd only
take care of it he'd never feel out of
sorts, but nowadays people are in
cllned to make-well, they put every
thing into their stomachs. I've always
maintained that any man can live to
be hundred years old if he'll take
care of his stomach"

citizen of the county. The creditor,
failing after repeated efforts TO collect
the amount due him. came to Mr. Lin

on bringing suit. Again Lincoln urged
him 10 let the matter drop. adding.
You can make nothing out of him,

than the debt to bring suit
The creditor was still determined to
have his way and threatened to seek

more willing to take charge of the
matter than Lincoln appeared TO be-
