CHAPTER XXVI.

jfT'T- i ty-one rounds for
t.C"" Corbett to whip

i
ing those twenty
one rounds there
was not a time
when Sullivan was
able to land a solid
blow on his youth
ful, speedy oppon
ent. As for Corbett,
he contented him
self with speeding
about the rins. duck
ing Inside occasion
ally to rip home a
long left that finally
Closed Sullivan's eyes and cut his face
to ribbons. Sullivan, fat and plow.
Could, neither catch Corbett to hit him.
fcor could he protect himself from the
fclows that, deadly in precision, ripped
home one after the other.
Sullivan believed the end was coming.
TClth tears in his eyes, he told his sec
onds he couldn't hit, the tall, rangy fel
low from tho west, lie knew that his
ways of living had brought him to the
threshold of defeat. Put his lion heart
and determination carried him on until
ha dropped from sheer exhaustion. For
the first time In his life he heard a ref
eree count the fatal ten over his own
prostrate form.
Speaking after the fight Sullivan de-!
Clared he knew everything that was go
ing on and made every effort to get up.'
His body responded to his will, but,
he said, his legs were practically para-i
1 As the last count rang out in the
tense air that surrounded a new heavy
weight champion, Jiru Corbett turned
rom his prostrate foe and received a
"lightly ovation, but when, a second
iater. the mighty form of John L. Sul
livation finally came to n standing pos
ture and reeled to the ropes, the crowd
hushed at tiie raising of his hand.
"Gentlemen." shouted the gruff voice
of the old gladiator. 'Tm glad an
American beat me. lie's a better man
than I am."
And with choking throats and throb
bing hearts, a loyal boxing crowd roared
a cheer that shamed the salvo which
had acclaimed Corbett as the new cham
pion. Away from the rirg that day John L.
Sullivan wept his grief umong his
friends. The end finally had come to
his invincibility and he realized it. lie
also realized that it was liquor that was
to blame not the fact that lie had met
his master. He drank a bottle of beer
while he dressed in his hotel room. and.
gazing at the liquid, lie told friends:
"If I had Just stuck to that all my
life Instead of drinking whiskey I
wouldn't be here today, grieving over a
lost title. I'd still be the champion."
Back to New Tork he went after this
bout, a completely broken-hearted man.
His sister met him at his hotel in New
York. and. with their arms around each
other, they both wept over the mis
fortune .which finally had caught up
with the huge Boston champion. Crowds
of curious followers and friends of John
I-. wiped tears from their own eyes as
they witnessed the pathetic meeting be
tween brother and sister.

CHARLIE WHITE
TO TAKE CASE 10
SECRET?! OF WAR
CAMP CUSTER. BATTLE CREEK.
JillCII.. March 2 3. Charlie White of
Chicago, dismissed as boxing Instructor
at Camp Custer, has decided to carry the
matter to Washington. This action will
te taken, he said, because no reason Is
given In the letter of dismissal which
tie received from Joseph E. Raycraft of
the Fosdick commission. White claims
rioyd A. Rowe. civilian athletic dlrec-
tor, secured his removal, and Rowe ad-i
mits the charge, though de-cllning to
discuss the matter.
Armed with "testimonials' from the
leading camp officers. White will appeal
to the Secretary of War rather than to
the I'osdkk commission. The sympathy
of the camp seems to be with White,
who has worked night and day to In
struct the Soth division in boxing.
YOUNG SOX HURLERS

MINERAL, WELLS. TEX.. March :3.
The time has come when Clarence
Rowland, manager cf the White Sox, Is
to And out Just what kind of stuff his
young players are made of, for yester
day he made known plans which will ,
result In these fellows going into real
action.
Two of these kids are Clarence Metz
and Tedlschl. Metr Is a recruit pitcher,
who Is expected to give Corey, Shellen
back, and Musser a battle for a post on
the regular hurling staff of the world's
champions. lie Is a college man, who
would be a boost to the game.

WHITING, INIX. March 23. Tonight
is the night when followers of the !
Whiting Owls, premier basketball quin-:
let, will determine whether or not their
favorites will have any chance with the
famous Em Roes. Tha Fairbanks Morse
team from Belolt. Wis., is coming to
Whiting to upset the local boys, Jf pos
sible. Manager D. F. McCarthy of the
"Fairies" writes that his team Is going
better than ever and that he expects to'
take the Whiting outfit into camp. j
McCarthy has gathered together a
group ..f star men who have been per
forming well this year. They gave the
Muscatine. Iowa, team the twst run that:
the "Muskies" had this year. Under
the training of George Zabcl. former1
Cub pitcher and star basketball man of
an Iowa college, the "Fairies" have de
veloped the bnskeihall team in the vest
composed of employees in one industry. I
Of course, the Owls have not been'
sleeping. They have been practicing
daily, and with the same combination of:
players on hand for the past six weeks!
the Owls outfit is stronger than It has
ever been, and Is gaining m strength ;
in each game played. Tonight will show;
the fan whether this strength Is
enough to offset the experience cf the
Indianapolis boys. If the Owls win
from Beloit by a respectable margin, it
is safe to say that it will be imposs!-'
ble to seat the crowd next week.
The Owls are well equipped with play
ers for the game this evening. Eddie'
rond. Pelsma and Zepp will handle the1
forward positions. Fred Schaefer will
match his Fkill nt center with Zabel and
Phillips, tha visitors' pivot men. Roth
Egan and Weiss are In fine trim and
will do their best to prevent the in-,
vaders to ring up baskets. In addition
Harry Frieiing will get Into the fray:
wherever his services are needed. Willie.;
Schaefer will in all probability don aj
suit and be ready for service. With this
group of basket! allers. the Ovi Is ought,
not to fear the outcome this evening.
Although this Is rather late in the
season for basketball. Interest has not.
waned in the least and a large and en-'
thusinstic crowd will be present to wel-l
come the boys from the "Gateway" city.
