InCll EdUle JOilIt iA---cLilu M new era for the sport was begun .N
 Months after Sullivan whipped Ryan, a theatrical manager decided it might be a money making stunt tn acrd tho champion on a tour. Others in his profession termed the expert mcnt "a fools trick. They felt that a pugiist appearing on the stage would decrease-rathe than increase the crowds. But the theatrical man went through with his offer Sullivan acceptcd-and both reaped ;t golden harvest.
 Billy Madden. who was John L.. manager. announced at the outset of the tour John L. would meet all corners in four round glove contests and that 1S10O will be given to any man that Sullivan cannot stop in four rounds" Madden was one of the shreWdest fellows ever connected with the ring game and a wonderful publicity getter. The new Sullivan offer which doubled the earlier one, created a furore.
 One hundred dollars in those days was d Sizeabl. bank roll. And more than 50 men tried to acquire it through the medium Of facing John l.. for four full rounds. In every city that John visited he was conronted by a strange collection of humans, each anxious to take a chance for that $t00. Huskies with 8 fair knowledgc of boxing, huge Jumbo berjacks, steve doras and truckmen, with no boxing skill at all wanted to take on John l.. and each was accommodated.
 The whirlwind way in which John L. disposed of those rivals marked dhe real beginning of his world wide fame and his amazing popular rity. And it was the beginning, too, Of box ing as a real sport in America. Many

 The two men battled furiously for the three rounds, and those at thp ringside considered that Moran had a shade the better of the first two rounds because of his aggressiveness.
 Beginning the third round, how ever, Fulton had assmiIiated eWsryr thing Moran could send, and he cut loose himself Under a vicious bat tcty of 1efts and rights Moran sank to his knees. He gameIy pulled him. self to his feet, but was so hopelesly at the mercy Of his opponent that Manager Ike Dorgan caused a sponge to he tossed into tho ring.
 X huge crowd attended tho mill. which went off without a hitch.
 At the. beginning of the first round &ior@a -"#rried the fight to his larger opponent, striving to land both left and rtGht, Fulton, who seemed ner- 1ou2, defended himself almost indif- iorcnly. but did not give way under MOran's blows. In the second round FuItan began fighting in better fash- ion and in the third he brought the n1il to an unexpected close.

 entry onto the stage was the signal for tu1nultuous greeting.

Judge Martin J. Wade of Des

tomorrow to sentence Couture and
MacDowell of Standing Rock reserva-
ton, convicted at the last term OF
the U. S. district court for horse thiev-
ing and perjury respectively. A stay
OF sentence was obtained by the con.

that inasmuch as the Indians whose
stock was stolen were full citizens OF
the United States, the case was one
for state and not federal courts.
Judge Wade has overruled this plea,
and it is understood that after SEN
tence is pronounced, Judge E. T. Burke
representing the defendants, will ap-
peal to the United States supreme
court. Tomorrow evening Judge
Wade. who has great popular fol-
lowing in the Slope since the trial
