ing records there is a small note giving the career of Yankee Sullivan, and giving him. apparently, all the best of bad record. Yankee was a New York in the sos. The Yankee stadium and the Rickard bowl were some decades remote from Yankees day and the East river docks were his arena. Under the London rules you hit, kicked, wrestled and gouged. Johnny Kilbane in his fight with Danny Frush in Cleveland success fully revived this style for one eve ming some three years ago.
 Yankee Sullivan came from Eng land and attached himself for quar- ters, rations, trouble and pay to Tam many Hall His contemporaries were John Morrissey, Bill Poole, Heenan and Sayres and Tom Hyer. Morris sey eventually went to Congress Poole murdered, went to the grave, followed by tremendous patriotic political constituency, and Yankee Sullivan went to California, where to quote the lenient record in the old book, he was assassinated by the Vigilantes."
 ! In a book of Nation Famous New York Murders" written years ago by Alfred Henry Lewis, and now used for reference by reminiscent writers bent on reviving historic killings, ! Robert Roosevelt, uncle of T. R., the elder, personally recalled the fact that Tom Hyer, the color bearer in the fistic way of the anti-Tammany know nothing party, twice beat Yankee Sullivan. The first time they met in an oyster bar at Park place and Broadway and Sullivan was laid cold in corner of the wrecked bar room. The next time they fought better arrangements were made and Tammany men bet thousands on Sul- livan, who was whipped again at his faVortte style of crawling. These two prizefiGhters were men of greater political importance in their day than any boxer ever has achieved since not even excepting Senator Jimmy | Walker of New York, now democratic leader in the deliberations at AL bany.
 How kindly the partisan boxing historian treats one of his own in the Boxing Record, which tells of Yankee Sullivan's assassination by the vigi- lantes" of California. How kindly is that phrase compared to the personal opinion of the late Chief Inspector William Mclaughlin of the New York police force, who said of Sullivan: He was as husky as the seven deadly sins. Hyer wasn't criminal, but 1 you couldn't say as much for Sulli- | NdHf WHO was " HSheu III odu IdI- cisco"
 LET THE MOUNTAINS GO ON TOUR
 Tie Notre Dame football team came east of late and showed a style of football that was some seconds quicker than a spit of electric flame After beating the awe-inspiring Army team, which had Tiny Hewitt, post graduate football man, in the backfield, Notre Dame returned home for few days and came right back to play Princeton in Jersey the next Saturday.
 Notre Dame and Army have been carrying on their battles for several years, but only this fall has the sug- gestion been made that the Army team and body of cadets should go west next year and that the game be played in Chicago It seems to be an impossible suggestion, but-why not?
 Western teams have been coming east for years. Last year Princeton went to Chicago. but this year Princeton, like Yale and Harvard, re- mains at home, except. of course, that ! the Big Three visit one another. Iowa came to New Haven to play Yale and Centre made three trips to Cambridge to play Harvard. It is absurd to think of Yale going to Iowa City or Harvard to Danville, Ky, for return games, but why is 1t absurd? They're all college students and sportsmen. | An 1owan or a Kentuckian misses as many good hours of study to visit
