Big Head Best. Temperance
Lecture in World" and
1t Cured Him
BY John ]. Leary, Jr.

Though John l.. Sullivan earned an
very little money the later years of his
life, the farm on which he died repre-
senting the bulk of his estate. Most Of
his income was from temperance lect-
urcs--he had been "on the water
wagon" as he put it, for about dozen
years-and occasional theatrical tours.
More recently, with the assistance of
Clarence w. Rowley and other Boston
friends, he was engaged in floating n
have put out athletic educational films,
with the eX-champion in the star role
and his old foe, J ohm Barleycorn, promi-
nent in the cast. The company, how
ever, had not passed beyond the flota-
ton stage.
Sullivan took UP this scheme after
his failure to secure work with various
patriotic societies before and since the
outbreak of war as lecturer: 1t was
his belief that he could carry the ap-
peal of patriotism to large element in
the country that other speakers could
not reach, particularly the young men
and those fond Of boxing, with whom
he held his popularity to the last.
Talked Their Language
Next to my friend, r. r." he said,
81 can reach more of the plain, rough
and-ready people than any other man
they can put out. talk their Ian
guage, and the careless young fellow,
the lad with red blood, will listen to
me-"
He made several trips to this city to
push this idea and conferred with per-
sons prominent i'll various organiza-
tions, but the scheme fell through.
"Eyeryb.ody seems to think we'll Of
the thing" he said on the occasion of
his last trip to New York, "but some
low the idea does not get over. The
trouble, guess, is that too many high
brows have the running of these So
cietes and organizations that old John
L. does not appeal to-
At that time Sullivan was apparently
IN the best of health, due, he asserted,
to his long abstinence from liquor.
'I'm in better shape than any of you
young fellows" he told a group of re-
lcrters in Bridgeport in the closing
Gays of the recent campaign there, in
which he took part as an advocate of
local option, and to prove it went
through the settingup exercises in the
lobby Of the Hotel Stratticld. He was
double the age of most of his audience,
and when he concluded. bit winded he
offered to bet hat or hundred" that
no one IN the party could duplicate the
performance. He had no takers.
On this occasion he told how it came
to pass that he quit drinking.

Plans which were mapped out for thu
organization of boxing classes called
for interesting the greatest possible
number Of men in this sport, and tha
daily classes which were organized con.
tanned between 100 ard 200. No effort,
have been made to develop specialized
boxers, the great aim being to give in.
struction to every young man in tho

Good Standard Sought
For several months after the naval
stations were opened experiments werc
made in efforts to develop the most
practical set of boxing instructions for
general adoption. The set perfected at
the Great Lakes Station, in Illinois, has
been selected and orders have just been
issued that boxing be taught in nava.
stations throughout the country as fol.

Sullivan was covering the fight for a
