 1 William Bell in 24 rounds on Hart's Island, N. Y., winning the middleweight championship belt put up by Col Hiram Johnson. The belt which Sullivan won then was the first ever put up for mid
 dleweights and Sullivan, according to accounts, never surrendered it. Sulli- van fought Bob Caunt, brother of Ben Caunt, who then was ranked as middle- weight champion of England on May Il, 1S47 The fight was staged on a plain in the Blue Ridge mountains and Sullivan won in seven rounds-total time 12 min utes. Sullivan's next battle was in 1S49 against Tow Hyer, the huge heavy weight-a match which Sullivan lost in Is rounds. That defeat broke Sullivan's heart
 The last fight of Sulliyan's career was his memorable encounter on the Boston commons with the famous John Morris sey. For some years there had been bad blood' between Sullivan and Mor- rissey. Although Morrissey was far heavier, Sullivan challenged Morrissey, naming 5000 as the side bet, and the contest was put on October 12, 1853.
 Sullivan went after Morissey like an infuriated tiger and in five rounds had his rival in a pitifui condition. As time was called for the 10th it didn't seem humanly possible for Morissey to answer it. But out he came to meet the rush of his foe. Sullivan in his very eager ness to get within range of Morrissey, missed wild lunge for the head and went catapaulting to the ropes.
 Morrissey, with a dying effort, fol- lowed Sullivan and pinning him to the ropes, succeeded in getting a chancery hold Then he swung blows to Sullivan's face that transformed it into bleeding mass. Sullivan finally succeeded in breaking away and then to avoid further punishment, dropped to the turf, ending the round.
 wrangle started immediately after ward between the rival seconds and when some of Morrissey's gang jumped in to help out Morrissey's seconds, free-for all fight followed. Sullivan for got about Morrissey and joined in the general fracas. When the referee called time for the 11th round, Morrissey was able to toe scratch but Sullivan was too busiIy engaged walloping the Morrissey gangmen to pay any attention to the referee. After two minutes had elapsed and Sullivan still ignored time for the seemingly greater joy of battering Nor risseys gangmen, the referee awarded the decision to Morrissey.
 That was the last battle of Sullivan's career. A year later he drifted west and on May 31, 1865, got into difficulties with the vigilance committee in San Francisco and was shot and killed while in a prison cell

 The story of Yankee Sullivan, one of the most wonderful and most picturesque nsures Tn prize ring history, reads like romance Few men ever had a more adventurous experience than this ''Sol- dier of Fortune"
 HIS real name was James Ambrose and he was born in Brandon, Ireland, on April F, 1S13 Ambrose was a true son or Erin as regards his love for fighting, and almost before he was out of knick- eroockers his feats in the rough and tumble fighting game caused his fame and name to spread far beyond the con- lines of the countryside.
 love for adventure sent Ambrose sailing across the seas while h2 was still in his teens. And he took up his resloence in New York. There his repu- tation as battler was enhanced when he soundly thrashed a bully nama, OConnor. Soon afterward, Sullivan went back to London. There he elected to fol- low the ring for a profession and in his firt real encounter, scored an easy win over fellow named Stewart. He then took on 'Sharpless' and Tom Bardy, winning easily from both. and VI etidihfAiS tdhliS TALK as one of the greatest ring warriors in the world
 On February ?, 1s41, Ambrose, who some years before had adopted Yankee sullivan as ring name, fought Ham mer Lane in Crookham, England for the middleweight championship of the world and side bet of $500. That battle was practically the first in history for the middleweight championship, as be- fore that time there were no distinctive classes in pugilism.
 Lane was remarkable fighter and despite the fact that he broke his arm in the second round, he gave Sullivan a terrible beating before he tLane) was forced to succumb in the 18th round.
 After the battle Sullivan returned to New York and opened saloon. For a year or so he was inactive as ringman but renewed hostilities on January "A, lS42, when he fought Tom Secor on Sta ten Island at a point between the Mar rows lighthouse and old Fort Tomp- kins.
 The contest was a slashing one, with both men receiving terrific punishment but Sullivan had the greater endurance and when Secor was unable to answer the call of time for the 67th round, Sulli- van was awarded the batch together with the side bet of s20o0.
 On August 29 1S42, Sullivan whipped
