Priest Rallies
 To Beat RiU0L, TommySulIiuan

Boston, Dec. i8 - (UP) -- New England Middleweight Champion Al (Red) Priest of Cambridge boasted his 26th win in 27 starts today after scoring 0 unanimous decision over Irish Tommy Sullivan of South Bos- ton in the most successful boxing show, financially, ever staged in this city's flstic history.
 A near sellout crowd of l3,25O damned Boston Garden last night to watch the Cambridge Italian give away l2 pounds and then hand Sullivan his first defeat after 13 straight wins as professional. Priest tipped the scale ct l57 to Sullivan's l69.
 The dock-style brawl drew c gross gate of $59.o44 for a net of $48O97. The biggest gate previous ly recorded in Boston was the Jim Maloney-R Ricardo BertaZzola match at Braves Field Aug. 20, 1929 that drew $58,06l.
 Game as Q panther, Priest whose ring antics have earned him the sobriquet of the belting black smith-showed signs of weakening in the seventh round as Sullivan flashed a merciless body punching attack.
 But, with the fight seemingly slipping from his grasp, Priest tapped some hidden reservoir of strength. He rallied in the eighth round. He battered Sullivan to Q standstill in the ninth. In the 10th he threatened to polish of the South Boston gladiator with sting ing left and right hooks.
 Sullivan, a lethal puncher from the same Boston district that pro- duced Worlds Heavyweight Cham pion John L. Sullivan, was slow, but his rocking body blow raised a series of welts on Priests mid-sec- ton.
