he ever had handed

opponents Jt hd

was pursuing hbn
w ith still more
deadly vigor.
Sullivan had the
et tills time t. get
with "Prof." John
kul!, where they did no
part, on his
ri.i mane.
I.Bflin was terribly rattled, but his
peconds were worse. They were para
lyze I with anticipation and shouted
madly at Fanin lo work on Sullivan's
middle. He could not hear tho clamor
of voices, and soon his opportunity had
passed. If he had been able to hear and
had calmd down enough to rcalite his
own mistake, ho would have become,
that night, the' champion of America,
with the assistance of John Karleycorn.
As it was .Sullivan was given the de

of milling, for he had landed the greater
number of effective blows.
Richard Fox was still hunting for
somo one who would be able to remove
the crown of champio'nship from the
brow of the husky new chawpion. and
he hit. this time on A!f. Greenfield, an
other Englishman. Advance notices
bailed hirn as tho peer of Charley

a very shifty boxer. His blows, how

for the bout was set as Nov. IS. ISM.
only a short time after Sullivan's dis

bout was scheduled for four rounds and
was to be In Madison Square, Garden. It
really was a bad match for Sullivan, for
he was out. of condition. He iefud.
