away when John L. hammered his
ruthless, undertaking way TO the
front.
After his nine round fight with
Paddy Ryan. on the strip OF green
sward on the Gulf Of Mexico. the word
"knocEout was manufactured by
Billy Madden, Sullivan's trainer, to
describe the effect Of his blows when
properly delivered.

Defeat By COrbett.
That fight practically decided the
uselessness Of trying to beat Sullivan
by com batting him in his own sIedge
hammer style. A SO round fight with
Charley Mitchell, q wary and skillful
boxer seemed to show fighting man
ayers that tho great John L might
be vulnerable to a man who could
box well and stay with him long
enough to wear him down.
