TIiIh is the question -which Evesino Would
representatives havo pioponnded to leading
portinguien in the chief American cities.
The replies show a curionsly divided state of
opinion.
Kilialn finds supporters in placos where Sulll
van's fire-eminence should be, it would seem.
strongly insisted upon, and the reuons given
fur tliis state of tilings are that while Rilrain
has been takinir the best of oare, with a view to
getting himself thoroughly At, Sullivan has in
dulged in excesses painful to his admirers and.
injurious to himself.
Another point prominontlr urged In Kilrain's
favor is his creator familiarity with the London
pri7orhi(r rules.
The lctser sports seem to stick to Sullivan with
more unanimity than the greater, thouih there
are authoritative voices, like those of Jere Dnnn
and Pat Bhcody, which dcclaro that John L. is a
sire winner. ,
Jlontrsal will not bo persuaded that the fight
Is really to come oft".
Boston, too, has doubters on that point,
though undor the sceptical phrasos heard from
the Hub thoro runs an undercurrent of feeling
Indicating that It would take hut littlo to re
establish ' tho big fellow " there.
Pittsburg goes for Hulllvan on Ids' bjgncii,
strength and skill.
Chicago is inclined towards Kilrain for tho
reasons given above.
St. Louis Rhus its betting odds to Sullivan,
but produces stiong Kilrain backers.
Philadelphia has faith in Sullivan's strength
and confluence.

"I am putting my dollars on Kilrain. My
reasons for doing so' aro that I think ho is a

Warren Edwards Judging by the live tho

Kilrain oncht to win. He is big. stiong and

this last point will counterbalance SullUaus
well-known rushing abilities.
llichard Dailitig-Wcll, Sullivan, I think, le
tains enough of his old im and spirit to carry
him through a winner. V. en if his nmlitinu is
not so good, I believe his spunk will counter
balance this, and his boxing ability is unquestioned.

IJonros, Juno 'U. The tpoitlng men of this
city do not socm to take much Interest in the
coming tight between John L. HnllUan nod
Jake Kill alii.
It is ery doubtful If mole than two will Jour
ney from here to New Orleans to tee the fight.
Home of them aie still of the opinion that the
fight will never come off, and the reason given
by others for not going is that tho weather will
be too hot down there.
Kllraln has more supporters in this city than
one would imagine, and u number nf them were
once considered Sullivan's ytanohest friends.
But little batting has been indulged in, and in
nearly every cae where money was wagtred the
Hulllvan end has given odds.
Cant. Cooke, of the 1'ntUv Av, paid:
"The man who lasts will mu the fight.

Hilly Mahoney, a warm friend of Sullivan, is
confident that thu big fellow will redeem him
self in Ids fight with Kilrain. ...
"I'veseen both men flgbt'sald Wily, "and
my money goes on Hulllvan every time. Kiliaiu
may he ax strong and as clever as John, but
when it conies to striking a blow. Hullv can
double discount him. 1 believe the fight will be
a short one."
Jimmy Colville, Nat Ooodwin and LarrvKil
Han were conversing about the tight t a South

opinion that bulln an would win.
"Oh. no!" said Ooodwin. "Kilrain Is going
to come out ahead this time. I boliovo we have
a silk hat on the battler" . ,.
" Yes. "said Killian, " and I'll wager $10 extra
that Hulllvan wins."
"It's a go," replied Goodwin.
' ' I don't think either of you will w In, " chimed

Paddy Byan in the latter's fight with Hulllvan,
was atked what he thought ot the Hulllvan-Kil-ralnmill,
he remarked:
"I have never iccn Kllraln fight and do not

must be a good one, for Smith is tho scknowl

"Mitchell fought Hulllvan to a draw, and
Mitchell ft not at good a man as Smith, lhat
would ludicato that Kilrain is the better man,
providing Hulllvan was in oondltlon when he

Bob i 1 an ell. the liuht-wpight who travelled
in Hullivuii's first eoiiih iiiition, irmaiked: "If
he will stand up to Sullivan and light theivis
not a man in thn w oild who stands any ehanco

lie is a big. impatient fellow, and they
might get him to tiro himself out, just as
Mitchell did with him, ain) then might whip

" Kiliuiii will win, sure, "said Torn Allen, the

gieatly overestimated lluhter. He got in
tlicsu knock-out blows in tho beginning, and
tho people regarded him as a wonder. But
there is a dilTeieiire between travelling about

Kird Watkms, tho backer of prize-fighters,
stated:
" I am going to the fight, and shall back Kil

mure about tho London1 piize'-rlng rules than
Hulllvan, aud is a better fighter under them.
In Chicago, from which placu 1 have iust re

KILUAIN A CHICAGO FAVORITE.
friteiAi. TO THI EVZNINO wnst.T.1
Chicaoo, Juno !!. The majority of the
sporting men of Chicago seem to think that
Kilraiu'vYlll be tho winner in his coming fight
with John L. Sullivan.
The big man from Boston has had warm ad
mirers in this city, but his fondness for liquor,
indulged on numerous noteworthy occasions,
has canted his quondam admirers to flock to the
standard of tho Baltimoie pugilist.
Parson Davlos said to-day: "I believe John
L. Sullivan will be whipped by Kilrain. The
lattei Is naturally a good lighter, and his nam
ing lias been most rigorous. He will bo In the
pink of condition when ho faces the big fellow.
"Sullivan's: well-known excesses must have
aftccted him. aqd he is not the man he. used to
be. Kill am hain't been talking much, but he 11
give a good account of himself when tho time
comes." , ....
Otto Floto, who was for a long time manager
nf Jack Burke, the Irish lad, is an enthusiastic
admiier of Kilrain. . , .... ,
Hald ho to your correspondent: "Hnllivan has
been di inking too much of late and his constitu
tion has been undermined. Luring all the- time
John has been pouring liquor down his throat
Kilialn has been rapidly Improving, and to mv
Judgment ho will win tho tight.
IMMcAvoy. backer of Iko Weir, tho Belfast
Hpider. will bark Hnllivan, ,
He said: "Kilrain ran't lick the big man.
Sullivan is rapidly getting into hispld-timo
form, and when in that condition you know ho
is invincible."
Billy MuiDhy, tho well-known sporting man,
expressed hiinseirveiy tersely.
' I haven't got much time to talk," sail he.
" but I'll iust tell you this: Sullivan will bo
" I'rnL Yllehards. of tho Board of Trade, said:
" I think the tight will be a draw;, but if Kilra n
docs toe the mark and try to fight Hulllvau will
whip him."
AS LOOKED AT IN PIIILADELPII1A.

Pnii.AiiLi.riiu, Jnno 'J7. A prominent sport
ing man, who iceently induced Sullivan to como
lKioaud wrestlo Muldoou, confidently believes
that Juko Kilrain will carry off tho laurels.
" Sullivan would win tho fight,"sald Mr.Cole,
" If he were In the samo physical condition now
that he was lho years ago. As it it. his system
has been greatly abused.
"Kllraln possesses ono adv antage. " continued
Mr Cole, "in having Charley Mitchell for a
trainer. Mitchell knows all, of Sullivan's weak
points, and tills it a condition that cannot be
overlooked," , ,
l'rof. James Murray, of th Philadelphia
Feipeiiig and Hpat ring Club, it an out and out
Hulllvan man, , , . .
He said: " John L, will make Jake pull In his
stack and work as he; never elld before."
" But yon overlook Hnlllvan's present condi
tion." Interrupted the reporter.
" Not at all' responded tho Professor. ''Hul
llvan may let Kilrain nurso his strength for
a few rounds, and then ho will go in for a finish.
Then again. Kilrain may worry Sullivan for
fivo or six rounds and then run In on him; but
taking the merits of both the contestants into
consideration, I've not tho slightest doubt but
Hulllvan will win the light, simply because he
has morn strength and confidence than his op
Arthur Chambers tald: "If Jedin L. Is tho
tamo old Hulllvan tho fight Is his. I'm nf the
opinion that the men aro evenly matched aud
that the light will be to a finish.
" Of course, none ran prophesy tho result,
though I am inclined to think that Sullivan hat
settled down to hard training and will make a
elesperate effort to win the contest.
"If he It well managed and watches himself
he Is sure to win."

PiTTHBDiui, June Sill. " Who do I think will

Andy Fulton, in reply to Tub Evknino WeuiLU's
coi respondent's question T
"Well, if both men aro in good condition,
there will be but one man In the ring, and his
titmo Is Hulllvnu. Even If John L. It not quite
In shape, I think be can defeat Jake. Will I take
In the fight? Very probably. Thave witnessed
all the big battles In this country in my time."
Copt. Thomas F. Hughes: I don't think
Sullivan can ever get in condition again, ami
even if he was lit and well, I doubt if lie could
defeat Kilialn. Yes, sir; 1 think Kllraln will
win.
Doo Thompson, ono of the oldest and best
posted men on nttiana, is strongly ot the opin
ion that Hulllvan will win.
Hays he; "Kilrain, i admit, is a good, big,
strong fellow, hut he it not a match for Hnlli
v all's skill. John has both strength and skill,
and he Is one of the few big men that will com
pare fa voi ably with Ned Baldwin, when tho
latter was In his prime.
"But while Sullivan is tho equal of the Irish
Oiant, he Is a better man towager .vourmoney
on, becanso he is dead game and will keep ou
going until ho makes a win, or at any rate ho
will save his friends' money."
Among twenty-six small-fry sports spoken to

SCErnOAL MONTREAL.
IttTCIAt. TO TUB KVCHIHO WOSMV
MoxTUF.Ai., June UH. There is a very general
Impression here that the Hulllvan. Kilialn lleht
will "nuver come off, and that if tho men elo
meet in the ring neither will be allowed to w in.
Harry Phillips says: " Sullivan, if he has kept
straight as long as they say he has, ought to
make a good battle, though Kllraln may elo him.
It all depends upon tho men running it whether
the fight will be fought out or not."
George Koestor I suppose I am asked a hun
dred times a dav " How about tho fight?" and
I hear as many different opinions. I don't think
the fight will come oil. If it does, it will never
end, and if It ends, Hulllvan will do his man.
That's how I stand.
Joe Pant Kilrain is the best man and ought
to win. The fight may not take place
Jack Laird Hulllvan useel to be mv idol, but
Kilrain seems to be a gentleman, therefore hu
ought to win. I think there it too much money
up for either man to win.
Andy Maloney Kilrain is my man. He's as
much better than Hnllivan as Hulllvau four
years ago was better than Kilrain, and if begets
a ehanco Sullivan's goose is rooked.
Joe Maloney It's mr Impression thatbeforo
tho men go Into the ring It will be fixed: that
neither will win. and tho suokers w ho put up tho
810,1)00 to get them to fight will be tho only
ones out. Neither man can afford to lose.
MITCHELL SURE OF JAKE.
An Evenino Would reporter had a chat with
Charley Mitchell in Richard K. Fox's private
oftico In tho I'olici- (Imrtte Building at noon to
day over Kilrain's prospects in tho coining
light.
"Jako Is feeling first rate," said Charley,
" and I can assure you that hols in the pink of
condition. He is tho perfect man In every re
spect." " Is he confident of winning the fight T'jflf
the reporter.
"He has not the least doubt of his ability to
do so, and neither have I," returned Mitchell.
" To-day," he continued, ' Kilrain is a better
man physically than ever Hnllivan was, and I
don't think that even his warmest friends e-on-sider
Hullivau as good a man to-day as ho was
four ears ago."
Mitchell arrived In New iork at midnight
He rame alone, and in a hurry, to ai range
some important details in connection with the
battle.
" Havo you had occasion to see any of Sulli
van's hackers?" the reporter asked him.
"No. I thought I might, but 1 tumid I rouhl
arrauae my business without troubling them,
and I did so."
" When will Kllraln start Bonth ?"
" Next Thursday tho party leaves Baltimoie.
Kilrain will continue his training up to thu last
minute." , .....
"Then you aro sure that the men will fight?
"Ye. At ltast, I ran speak poMthely for

may be, "
Mitchell left New York for his return to Balti
