nntil FebrNary 1880 when Donovan again went No Boston, and took on all corners in\exhibition bouts. Mean while, John LA had fought and whipped four men of more than fair repute in Bostoni3n fight circles.
 Sullivan went to Donovan and said.
 ''I want to learn more about this fighting game. No one around here can teach me any tricks. Will you do it?"
 Donovan consented and took on John L. in an exhibition SparrlnS bout. Mike had a trick of going in at a man with his head down. He tried it once on John L. and the Strong Boy landed on the back of Mikes neck with fearful force. Then he said to Mike:
 "If you come in at me like that again I'll hit you and break your neck.''
 Mike believed him.
 It was a case of master ringman against d novice with wonderful strength The former triumphed. But Mike never has forgotten that affair nor the wallops which the bur ly youngster delivered After 1t was over Mike declared
 That boy is a fighting wonder. In two years he'll be able to whip any man of his size in the world.'
 The prediction of Donovan came true.
