battle, near Chnn
tllly, France, with
rhrl y Mltrhetl
was generally ac
cepted In the box
ing wcrld as ft de
feat or the famous
American. The very
fact that a man had
been able to prove
that it was possi
ble to withstand
the terrific punch
ing: of the champion
was enough for fol
lowers of boxing to
proclaim Sullivan defeated. Newspapers
carrying accounts of the fight the following-
day declared Sullivan had been
vanquished, basing their assertions on
the fact that he had been unable to stop
Mitchell.
Sullivan fought a grand f.ght against
Mitchell, but Mitchell, let it be said,
fought a well-planned and, at times,
courageous, battle against the Boston
roan. It -was the first long bout for
Sullivan. His scraps previous to this
time had ended earlier, for the simple
reason that he had ended them earlier
with his fearful punches.
IX the memory of boxing fans there
! bo battle that carries the fierce
reminiscences of bare-fist fighting to
compare with the famous mill between
These two gladiators. It was fought out
under practically Impossible condition.
The weather was cold. Sleet and rain
fell during the action. The turf was
supported by a clay foundation, into
which the fighters soon f oundered with
their spiked shoes. The crowd wa
made up of rough men, for the moat
part. Taken in all. It was sufficient to
strike terror Into the heart of many a
boxer. The fact that Sullivan and
Mittchell slugged through such condi
tions for thirty-nine rounds of fighting
undor the abominable London Prize
King rules sponkj volumes for their
courage.
The f.ht was held March 10, 1SS8. a
cold and raw day. Previous to the date
of the tight little was suM about where
It would be staged. A tcneral Idea of
the rins? location was. to borrow a
modern expression, "somewhere in
P rsnco. n the day or the null wag
ons, buggies, and trains headed, how
ever. In a common direction. Thi fight
ers were placed aboard a special train
in Paris and started for thfilr destina
tion. Gendarmes were at every station,
and they knew who was passing, but
gave the matter little attention. They
cluttered up th station platform when
the train reached its destination, but
made, no attempt to arrest the fighters.
The wagons and other equipages turn
ed into the wooded part of trie estate
of Baron Rothschild shortly before
noon. The sun was shining at this
time and indications were a fair day
would favor the battlers. The joy over,
this, however, didn't last long, for it
wasn't long until clouds obscured the
sun.
The fighters reached the ring at 1
o'clock. Sullivan threw a tweed hat in
to the ring and leaped the ropes.
Mitchell followed very soon after. They
grasped hands In a perfunctory sort of
way and listened to the referee's Instructions.
FRED FULTON STOPS
5
terrific right awing to the Jaw that i
sent Cowler to the floor for the count.
Up to the final blow Cowler had th
fight all his own way. He hammered j
and punched Fulton all around tbej
ring. Twice be sent the Minnesota
boxer to the floor, but Fulton came
back with more vlclousness In hlj
punches and stalled off defeat.
Three times Fulton seemed on the
erge of taking the count. He ap
peared groggy and acted the part, for
his punches didn't seem to have any
effect on Cowler, who landed blow
after blow to the body. It was a
slugging match all the way. Each
boxer hammered and pounded the
other unmercifully. Cowler got in the
more effective wallops.
Fulton was knocked down In the
first round by a crack on the Jaw.
Fred was groggy, but came back and
stuck until the gong sounded. Another
punch closed Fulton's right eye. In
the second, third, and fourth rounds
each boxer carried on the terrific slug
ging. Fulton seorinx a knock down In
the second. Fulton started the action
and sent punch after punch to Cowler's
body, only to get them back punch for
punch.
In the fourth round Cowler knockod
Fulton down, once sending him against
the ropes, but Fulton came back
swinging right and left.
In the fifth round both fighters
itarted out to end hostilities. Fulton
punched hard to Cowler's body and
Tom landed time and again on Ful
ton's head, face, and body. Near th
end of the session Fulton shot a hard
tight uppercut to Cowler's "glass Jaw"
and the Briton hit the mat. He was
counted out.
Several thousand spectators saw the
bout.
BEZBEKPtTANS TO MAKE SANDERS
A WINNER IN NATIONAL LEAGUE
Koy Sanders, the American asso
ciation pitching: star, who had a trial
with the Cincinnati Reds last sea
son but was a bit too wild to stick, is
going: to make a showing: yet in the
National league if Hugo Bezdek,
Pirates' manager, can help him do it.
V
. J
Bezdek has grabbed Sanders in the
belief that "Red" has the makings
of a great pitcher, an opinion shared
by many who saw him work for Kan
sas City in the 1916 season. Sanders
has everything he could desire to get
him out in front of the pitching stars
and all he needs is the ability to put
it over after all, the chief requisite
of a pitcher. Bezdek believes that
ha can teach Sanders control and
make him a regular winner.
