Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. coI sBErT

to the body Kilrain drew first blood in that session with a smashing right hand CT that laid open Sullivans right ear.
 Sullivan tore in at <ilrain in the eighth like ain enraged bull The champion was furious us with anger The fact that Kilrain had sS Sored first blood and had made him (SulliYanl miss almost every swing in the sAventh. hurt the pride of Sullivan. That round was perhaps the most cycloHic of the whole fight. Sullivan rushing in the style that had made him tamous, gave kilrain no quarter. Jake tried o keep out of his path Finding it uselesE, Jake elected to give battle to Sullivan.
 And whirlwind milling resulted.
 The climax of the slashing rally in the center of the ring in the seventh came vixen Sullivan broke through Kilrain s guard with fearful right handler It caugh Jake full on the mouth. Kilrain staggered backwards, was unable to get his feet and toppled over.
 The seventh ended the aggressiveness of Jake Kirain for long, long while. That one punch convinced Jake of the terrible power which John l.. packed in his mighty right first From then on through many rounds Kilrain fought solely on the defensive. Round after round Kilrain toed scratch and went down to the ground with the first Sul- livan punch No matter where he was hit of how light the tap. down he would go.
 The ;crowd, which at first had been with l<ilrain, began to ieer and hiss. And sullivan was in a fury over being baked round after round at Settlhg at his enemy He wanted to dght-and Xiii rain wouldn't But kilrain was wagins the only kind of battle that gave him a chance to win over the champion
 Time. and again Sullivan begged Kil- rain to stand up and fight like a man. But Kilrain was guided by the advice of Charlie Mitchell.
 Don't fight him-make him chase you. He'll wear himself out 1 tell you and if you'l just keep away from him and stop letting him hurt you with his punches. you've got him
 And kilrain nearly had Sullivan in the thirty-$eventh round and again in the forthy-f fifth.

tEditors Note: This is the tenth of a series of articles which Mr Corbett is writing concerning the pugilistic career of Jake Kirain, one of the greatest heavy weights that America-or any other coun- try-ever produced The next installment will appear tomorrow)
 Jake Kilrain always had a certain con tempt for John l.. Sullivaus strength as compared with his own. Sullivan was touted around the world as one of the most powerful battlers of all time But Kilrain felt that in a slugging- wrestling contest permitted under London Prize ring rules. he could master the champion of champions"
 Because of that belief Kilrain opened up with the vicious attack upon sullivan in their fight in Richburg Miss. on July s. 1ss9 Through the first, second and thrid rounds he matched strength with Sullvan-and got the worst of it. md then Kilrain decided to heed the counsel of Charlie Mitchell. his chief second. and fight along more cautious and scientific lines.
 Kilrain let Sullivan do the rushing in the fourth and John L. surely set the pace He chased Jake all around the ring Finally Sullivan cornered Kilrain. pounded his body With left handlers and Kilrain dropped to the turf. Sullivan also won the fifth round with ease. Kil- rain landed only one punch during the session. busying himself most of the time in keeping out of John L's way He repeated his action of the fourth by avoiding severe punishment by falling to the ground after light left to the body.
 The champion scored heavily in the sixth with a left hand smash to the jaw It hurst kilrain, who quickly fell into a clinch to save himself. In the scramble which followed both men fell to the turf heayily-with Sullivan on top. The wind was knocked out of Kilrain and he had to he carried to his corner
 Kilrain, suddenly shifting tactics again. forced the issue in the seventh and won by the proverbial mile. By sidestepping he avoided the rushing Sullivan and each time that John l.. hurled himself at Kil- rain. Jake would let him have wallop

ST. PAIL HITS HARD

St. Paul kept up it's slugging exhibition until the last. In the ninth Corrden drove a double to left, Butler beat out a dinky grounder to Webb and Miller single to right, scoring Corridor. Duncan sacri- ficed both runners, but Alexander, bat ting for Brown, grounded to Webb. and Butler was killed at the plate. Bergham- mer then doubled to left, scoring Miller. but Alexander was thrown at the pla te on Raley's perfect relay to Haworth.
 One consoling feature about the Rarons' play was the slugging ability demon strated by Moley's men. Raley and Brashier, the two regular recruits, each bingled twice, while the latter hit for q total of five bases in three times up. Ha- worth and Duncan as usual clouted at d lively rate Eddie Mcdonald at second accepted nine chances without single

Neither side was able to reach third in the first two frames, but Hall s single Dressen's triple and Corriden's s sacrifice fly netted two in the next spasm. Not to be outdone, Moley's charges tied the count in their half of this inning when Sigman drew life On Menemys huff of his third strike, Duncan singled to left and went to second on an error, and Ellis poled a double down the left field foul line.
 The Saints showed over another tally in the fourth, when McMenemy rocked the left field fence with a triple and came on Raley's error. In the fifth Corridor smashed a wicked three-bagger to the groove and sauntered across the platter when Haworth threw over Webbs head trying to catch him off third. McMene- my hit his second triple in the sixth stan ga and romped home on Berghammers sacrifice fly to Duncan.
 With the score to against them, the Barons made a heroic effort to put the ygame on ice in their half of the sixth. After Webb had famed, Raley singled to center and Haworth almost tore Munroe's hand off with liner through the box. Sigman grounded out, but Mcdonald walked, filling the sacks. At this juncture Brasher was called upon and the husky gardener done nobly" by tr,pling oVec Duncans S head and clearing the bases. Pat Duncan flied to right ending the 1n- ming.
 The visitors continued their terrific slusging in the next frame. Dresser sin gled to left, starting the seventh, Corrl- den bunted him down, Butler walked, and Miller hit safe to right, filling the sacks. Duncan tucked a bouncing hit to short scoring Dressen. Baker grounded to Mcdonald, forcing Duncan at second, but both Butler and Miller scored on the play
 The Barons didn't lose heart, but counted again the seventh, after the first two men had gone out. Webb drew pass and Raley singled to right. Haworth spanked the onion against the old score board, scoring Webb, but Raley was nabbed at the plate as he slid in. The locals failed to reach third in the last two frames.
