CHAPTER XVIII.

When Sullivan died he left just mis-
sister as a blood-relative to mourn his
Ideath, bat he left an adopted son, a
little fellow whose heart was broken
when the big man who had lbefriend-
ed him suddenly lay down and went
away one afternoon.
Sullivan had been married twice,
the first time to Miss Annie Bates
of CentrevilIe, r. l., in 1882. They
lived together only eighteen months
and then separated. Sullivan obtain.
ing divorce on the ground of deser-
ton in 1908.
The second wife was Miss Kate
Harkins, a boyhood sweetheart, who
became Mrs. Sullivan after the fight.
er had retired from the ring. They
We're married in Boston February Z,
1910. She preceded him In death.
She would have married Sullivan
when the former was young man,
she had been known to say, if she
could have persuaded him to abandon
his determination to become a fight
er.
And this is the story OF John L.
Sullivan-the man who made fighting
a clean game in America, and who
lifted the game from the brutal days
of picked, barred fists, to a scientific
life in six to eight ounce gloves, and
a chance for man to rest after fight
ing three minutes. The Marquis OF
Queensbury rules probably would be
waiting yet for some one to champion
them if it hadn't been for the efforts
of Sullivan to elevate the game that
had given him a fortune.
John l. Sullivan Is dead, but 1t is
rarely said that he was anything bur
an upright, honest man, with huge
heart that was open to every man.
Fighters, doctors, lawyers in
all walks of life-revere the memory
of the old gladiator, for he typified
that jewel in any mans life-abso-
lutte honesty and fair play.
He lies in Old Calvary cemetery at
Boston, buried there from st. Paul,S
church. He had a funeral fit for a
king. The church was packed to
overrowding. AS in the days when
his saloons were struggling, the po-
lice had to be called to make path
for his last trip. The streets near
the house, and the church were pack
ed with admiring and curious folk
His popularity remained with him aft
err death. AS the body OF Sullivan
passed along the streets to the GEM
etery, bells in fire houses tolled and
curtains were drawn.
There never was fighter who had
the following of this grand old man
OF the ring. Perhaps there never will
be another.

CHAPTER XVII.

The greatest battle OF the life OF
John l.. Sullivan was yet to come.
Having conquered the best OF the
lighters in the world, and been con-
quered in turn by man who proved
10 be his master, the Boston Strong
Boy was at that time, fighting the
battle of his life-in fact, for his
life. He won this bout in Terre
Haute, Ind, on March 8, 1906, many
years after he had heard himself,
stripped of his crown as world cham
pfon.
SuIliyan's defeat at the hands of
Corbett saw his actual retirement
from the ring, although he did meet
Tom Sharkey in brief bout in New
York some time afterward. He was
stiu in the public eye. however, and
receiving just as much praise from
sports lovers as ever. His fondness
for drink was leading him down and
down, gradually pinching to certain
finish the wonderful stamina that had
made Sullivan the greatest of all
lighters
On the March afternoon referred
to Sullivan and Billy Hart, an old
friend Of the former champions,
we're sitting together at a table in
= Terre Haute cafe. A bottle of ale
was ordered for Sullivan. He sat
and looked at 1t for brief moment,
then suddenly snatched up the glass
into which the ale had been poured,
and dumped the liquid into a cuspi-
dor.
"If I ever take another drink,
hope to choke, so help me God" he
announced to the startled Hart-and
he didn't ever take another.
The story Of Sullivan's fight
against liquor is a far more thrilling
account than that OF any of his
battles. Here was man, more
popular among certain element
than the president of the United
States, and a man who held his
popularity deep into other circles
any other man. He was known as
a drinking man. one who could
swallow mouthful after mouthful of
whiskey and other drinks and still
keep his feet With those facts in
view, Sullivan's friends laughed and
jeered at him. They made it harder
for him to quit than 1t would have
been otherwise, but his mind was
resolute. He fought of the craving
and the taunts of friends and ac-
quaintances. He stuck to his re-
solve just the same as II he had been
fighting John Barleycorn in
twenty-foot ring-and he won.
Ten years later, in speaking Of his
triumph over liquor, Sullivan re
marked that he would have been
worth million dollars II he had left
liquor alone.
When the people of Boston

found that Sullivan really was in
earnest about quitting drink, they

BALL WRITER'S
PREDICT SEASON
Opening Of the Baseball Season
Brings Forth Usual Amount Of
Dope-White Sex Picked
to Win.

Every spring the wags who follow
baseball for a business get a lot of
predictions out of their systems and
this year is not different from any
other. A. L. Sphinx, a st. Louis writ
er, has given an article to the press
picking his favorites and as Mr..
Sphinx Is a well known baseball au-
thority he seems to have some 1ogi-
cal conclusions drawn.
In the American league he hands
the palm to the White Sox, not alone
on their performances of last year
but gives a great deal of credit to
Manager Rowland and the Comiskey
style of managing. The one factor
that may upset the White Sox is
Johnny Evers, field coach and captain
of the Boston Red Sox this year
Evers is scrappy little ball player
all right, but 1t is going to take more
than fight to get the flag away from
the Sox. Detroit is picked to follow
Boston in the race and would be
ahead OF the following stage had they
a few good hurlers for as a hitting
and fielding team they are hard to
beat
Sphinx comedies Cincinnati the best
chances for winning the National
league flag reasoning from the point
that Matthewson knows McGraw's
strong and weak points and will be
able to get him one better. 1t is a
certainty that the Reds have well
balanced team and 1t may be that
they will live up to the dope but Nc
Graw is not the only fly in the Ma
tfonal league ointment. The Cub
owners have spent a pile of money
this year and 1t seems as though they
ought to be figured in the running. II
Mitchell don't pull better position
in the race this year than he did last,
Weeghman had better go cunning for
another manager.
Early season dope points to the
White Sox, Boston, and Detroit as
chief contenders allowing the New
York Yanks a look-in. The National
league race should be fought out by
New York, Cincinnati, Chicago and
Boston. At any rate it should be a
great season.

The French have now forced the

Germans the absolute defeat that will
be inflicted upon them before their
