CHAPTER XVII.

The, result of John l.. Sullivan's bat
lie near. Chantilly, France, with Char
lev Mitchell was generally accepted
In the boxing world as a defeat for
the famous American. The very fact
that a man had been able to prove
that it was possible to withstand the
terrific punching OF the champion
was enough for followers of boxing
to proclaim Sullivan defeated. News
papers carrying accounts OF the fight
the following day declared Sullivan
assertions ON the fact that he had
been unable to stop Mitchell.
Sullivan fought a grand fight
against Mitchell, but Mitchell, let it
be said, fought well-planned and, at
times, coura geous, battle against the
Boston man. It was the first long
bout for Sullivan. His scraps prev
ious to this time had ended earlier.
for the simple reason that he had
ended them earlier with his fearful
punches.
In the memory Of boxing fans there
is no battle that carries the fierce
"reminiscences of bare fist fighting to
compare with the famous mill be-
tween these two gladiators. 1t was
fought out under practically impos'
fible conditions. The weather was
cold. Sleet and rain fell during the
action. The turf was supported by a
clay foundation into which the fight
ers soon floundered with their spiked
shoes. The crowd was made UP OF
rough men. for the most part. Taken
in all, 1t was sufficient to strike ter
TOR into the heart of many a boxer.
The fact that Sullivan and Mitchell
slugged through such conditions for
thirty-nine rounds of fighting under
the abominable London prize ring
rules speaks volumes for their cour-
age.
The fight was held March 10, 1888,
cold and raw day Previous to the
date of the fight little was said
about where it would be staged y
general idea of the rings location
was, to borrow modern expression
"somewhere in France" On the day
