Sullivan Never
Held World Title

An investigation Of the heavy
weight boxing records with view to
ascertaining the exact status of John
L. Sullivan and the titles he won.
reveals the fact that the Boston
BOY was never worlds champion,
aItho ne was credited with the honor
thousands of times. The probe into
ne records was made at the instance
u some OF Sullivan's former friends
Eho desire to erect 4 monument over
ais grave, with appropriate inscrlp-
ion.
The records show Sullivan never
cld the worlds title because he re
used to fight Peter Jackson, heavy
weight champion of Europe ana
australia, nor Jem Smith, who was
hampton of England. Sullivan was
several times on the verge of enter-
rs match with Jackson. but on
ach occasion something occurred

II was during the time Sullivan
Vas sought to meet Peter Jackson
hat John l.. drew his now famous
color line. Some old rints from that
,eriod indicate that many of the fans
believed Sullivan feared the colored
hattler and drew his color line in
self defense. Other early critics
were fair enough to charge the whole
failure Of a Sullivan Jackson bout to
The inability Of the men to reach an
tSreement on terms.
History shows that the only in
ternational match Sullivan ever
fought was that one with Mitchell
and that resulted in q draw. Sui
Ivan has been heard to say he did
not care for international titles or
honors because this country was
large enough for him. Sullivan won
the American title in his battle with
Ryan In 1882, and he held the silks
for a period of ten years, losing 1t
to Jim Corbett in 1892.
Among the recent American
champions who also won interna-
tional honors was Jim Jeffrfes. He
defeated Jackson before he defeated
Bob Fitzsimmons who held the
American crown. jackson was I'M

when he met Jeffries. altho there was
no doubt ne was far from the Peter

he hurled so many defies at John L.
Sullivan. With the retirement Of
Jeffries, Tommy Burns claimed the
fAmerican title and Bill \ Squires
claimed the Australia title, and Gun

Burns beat both Of them. establish
ing claim to two titles, altho his
American honor was presented to
him by Jeffries. Sullivan's memorial

Germans Buy at Saving From Dutch
Flock to Dinxperloo For Supplies.
BY Associated Press.
The Hague, Aug. 10.--Troops have
been sent by both the German and
the Dutch governments to the little
village Of Dinxperloo. which Is sit
uated partly on Dutch and partly on
German territory, in order to put an
end to the clandestine trade thriving
there. which In the past few weeks,
had assumed such proportions that
the local authorities were unable to
prevent violation OF the import and
export duty regulations.
No less than 100000 Germans
men. women and children-had come
to Dinxperloo with the view of buy
ing there food and other articles
which they could only get at home
at higher prices than the exorbitant
ones charged by the Dutch sellers.
Trains coming from the Ruhr and
Rhine districts were so full that 1t
was impossible for the railway off,
Gals to examine all tickets and many
persons had free rides.
The principal street Of Dinxperloo
which is about three miles long, and
of which one side is Dutch while the
other Is German. was crowded. Soon
the throngs got beyond control Of the
customhouse officers. One German
clerk was tied to a tree for trying
to enforce the law. Trade consisted
chiefly of coffee tea, oil, cocoa,
bicycle tires, tobacco and cigarets
and for sometime was most brisk.
AS soon as the troops arrived,
however, order was restored and tho
Dutch commander issued q mani
festo saying that nobody at Dinxper-
loo would be allowed to have more
provisions in store than needed for
his private use. Tho shops were also
put under strict control,

In the outer reaches of New York
harbor where deep water meets

way known as Ambrose channel.
This channel leads up thru the mar
rows into the inner harbor and to

The device consists Of a cable
sixteen miles long laid in the CEN
ter Of the channel. 1t. Is energized
with an alternating current from the
shore. Ships to take advantage Of it
must be equipped with audiphones or
listening devices attached to the hull.
Approaching the channel the sound
