ant, growled couple of times, ana
then shouted:
Take that thing back ard ask the
prince If he thinks I'm a cripple.
Sullivan always ended the story by
saying he never received any more
presents from the Prince of Wales.
The old feud with Charley Mitchell
developed while Sullivan was m Eng.
land and tine exchange became so bit
ter and personal that match between
them was arranged at the behest of
some English and French sporting
men. Baron RothschiId was one of
the latter, and offered his estate raear
ChantilIy,. France, for the, battle.
Sullivan had Been living, high. I'M
England. He was meeting only the
poorest of boxers, although tie offered
to meet the champion of England or
any other man the promoters; wanted.
He was drinking champagne and ale
by the sarrel, figuratively speaking,
and was taking on lbds of fat How
ever, he readily consented 10 the
match with MITCHELL In fact, he,never

CHAPTER XVI

Sullivan continued for some time
after this to tour the country, taking
on man after man and winning, but
the importance of these goes was
small, and he really never had another
bout of consequence until he met
Charley Mitchell in Chantilly, France,
for the championship, bout which,
perhaps, was the hardest the Boston
Strong Boy ever engaged in, despite
records of the seventy-five round slug
fest with Jake Kilrain He met Pad
dy Ryan in San Francisco and de-
feated him in three rounds, but Ryan
was only a memory of his former self
and little credit was attached to the
victory for Sullivan.
Then Sullivan went to England for
some exhibitions, and, as he put it
afterward, some sport. He had the
sport and he engaged in several ex-
hibitions, one of them before the
Prince of Wales, who afterward be-
came King Edward VII of England.
1t is related that Sullivan and the
Prince became fast friends, but wheth.
err this is true cannot be stated With
any basis of fact, for Sullivan never
taILad about IT Indeed when he spoke
of the prince at all, it usually was TO

good with the school ma'am he had to

was rapidly being trained into an ex-
cellent soldier
Then one day came letter and the
ring from the girl. He went to the
exemption board to tell his story.
Proof was required and he sent to the
courthouse of the county where he was
born. The records had been lost. His
application for discharge was denied

CHAPTER XIV

Before going to Ohio to meet Nc.
Caffery, Sullivan took on Greenfield
again in a four-round go and won the
decision. He also picked up a few
dollars by boxing some unknowns and
went to Chicago to meet JACKIE Burke,
whom he defeated.
The offer to box in Cincinnati came
after Paddy Ryan, Sullivans victim
in the championship bout, refused to
/ again meet his conqueror. Ryan at
first was willing, but threw up the
job after having given 1t some con-
sideration, and McCaffery was picked
to take his place. The bout was one
of the most memorable in SulIivans
entire fighting career, but it is given
only slight mention by most tales of
Sullivan.
John l.. almost lost his champion
ship that day in Ohio. AS a matter
of fact, there are many devotees of
boxing who remember the bout who
claim now that McCaffery really beat
Sullivan and was entitled to the de-
cision. Anyway, it required several
days for the referee to give his de-
cision, and when he did he gave it to
Sullivan, much to the disgust of Nc
Caffery and his manager, who had
followed the referee from Cincinnati
to his home in Toledo.
The pair met finally after consider
able dickering, on Augu 90, 1885, the
ring being pitched in Chester Park, a
suburb of Cincinnati. McCaffery'
weighed only ITO pounds and was con-
siderably smaller than Sullivan, but
he was in much better condition.
McCaffery, as we'll as Sullivan had
some luck that day, for he was f1oored
by Sullivan in the third round by a
smash to the side of the head and
went down. Had he been required to
begin fighting at once, an eyewitness
of the bout declares, he would have
been finished then But the timekeep
er lost his head, called time" and the
round was finished That was what
turned the scales toward McCaffery,
for Sullivan's lack of condition told
against him, and he slowed up appre-
ciably.
The remainder of the bout found
Sullivan arm-weary, while McCaf-
ferry, being in fine condition, rushed
Sullivan repeatedly. He was really
clever boxer and had no trouble in
hitting the champion. At the end of
the sixth round, the length the bout
was supposed to he, Sullivan was bad
ly winded and in no condition to fight
further. The championship was in
the grasp of McCaffery if the bout
could be continued to a finish and the
proposition was made to Sullivan by
McCaffery's manager. The champion,
of course, refused, and McCaffery and
his manager set up a howl. They de-
manded that the decision be made a
draw, but the referee refused He did,
however, reverse his decision and left
the ring.
McCaffery and his manager fol-
lowed the referee from the ring and
even pursued him to Toledo, where he
lived, beseeching him to give de-
cision, but, after several days, when
the decision was given, it was award
ed to Sullivan.

ACTING UNDER THE RIGHT OF
ANCARY

The following editorial in the New
York World gives the right by which
the United States seized the Dutch
ships. Many have contended the
United States acted beyond the
rights Of a belligerent with a neu-
trail, but as the editorial points out
Holland is acting under instructions
from Germany, which gives us the
privilege, as embodied in the United
States Naval War Code of 1900.
The World says: "There is no
right Of belligerent in relation to
a neutral better established in inter-
national law than the right exercised
by the United States Government in
the appropriation to its own uses,
with compensation, of the Dutch
ships long lying idle in American
waters. II is known as the Fright of
angary."
$50 treated in the text books, ex-
tended references are unnecessary.
One alone will do for the present oc-
casion. 1t is the right as embodied
in the United States Naval War
Code of 1900:
"1f military necessity should
require it, neutral vessels found
within the limits of belligerent
authority may be seized and de-
.4-1.xoI al
military purposes, but in such
cases the owners of the neutral
vessels must be fully recon-
pensed."
"This is only part of the broader
rule that the property of neutrals
in belligerent territory can claim no
greater rights than the property of
citizens. Either is as subject to APP
preparation for war uses as the other
and both are as equally subject to
war taxation as to Communicating.
"The government of the Neither
lands, accordingly, has not the slight
est warrant to refer to the matter
as IAN act of violence or as 'inde-
feasible from the viewpoint of in
ternational law Such language is
only to be explained as President
Wilson has explained the prior atti-
tude of Holland. It's government is
not free agent in the case. 1t is
acting and speaking under the duress
of Germany"

AMERICAN FLAG is OLDEST

The oldest flag among the larger
nations battling against the Ger
mans, strange to say, is that of the
United States. The Stars and Stripes
were adopted June IA, 1777, the only
change made since having been the
addition of stars from time to time.
The present Union Jack of Great
Britain was not adopted until 1901,
while the French tricolor was adopt
ed in 1894.
