B. Johnson, President of the American League, who reported tha Sallivan-Kilraln fight for the Cin- cinnatl Commercial-Tribune When John L. Sullivan was match- ed to fight Jake Kilrain I was sport- ing editor of the Cincinnati Commer- cial Tribune, and it was my good for- tune to be sent by my paper to cover the fight, which was one of the greatest ring battles of history and the last championship fight with bare knuckles I went to New Orleans and spent some time in Sullivan's training camp. There was great difficulty in finding a place to hold the contest, as bare knuckle fights were against the law. Finally a spot at Richburg, Miss., was selected, but it was kept such a secret that only a few knew where they were going when they boarded the trains to go to the bat- tle The start for the scene of the fight was made on the night of July 7th, from New Orleans and such care was taken in avoiding sheriffs that it took all night to get the crowd to Richburg, between eighty and, one hundred miles away. No one had any sleep, but soon after daybreak we were unloaded at Richbyr and found a temporary stand had been erected. There was no platform or padded -ring for the fighters, The ring was pitched right on the turf.

All night long we had sweltered on the train, and it must have been more than 100 degrees in the shade when the fight began. That was on the morning of July 8th. ~ Regarding the fight itself, all 1 can say mow is that it was a terrific struggle. The rules then were differ- ent. Instead of three minute rounds, a round ended only when one or the otfer was knocked down, and, as all remember, the battle was seventy- five rounds before Kilrain was knock- ed out. Sullivan was the aggressor throughout and probably would have won earlier in the battie except for the shiftiness of Kilrain. On several occasions the latter allowed himself to slip to the ground so as to bring the round to an end and allow him- self some time to recuperate. L. 'fought ferociously, but time af- ter time when it scemed he was about to knock out Jake the latter would g0 to the earth. Some time after forty rounds had been fought, Sullivan' became sick at his stomach and for a time his friends feared he would be beaten. But Kilrain evidently was too ex- hausted to take advantage of his opponents' distress. Instead, he even. suggested that they quit and cal it a draw. This cured John L. of his sickness, for he immediately waded into Jake and landed a po'verful right that knocked Jake flat on his back f A little later John L. landed an-| otherplow squarely and again knock- | ed Jake jto the ground. This time John L. stepped on his man while he was down, and Kilrain claimed a foul, but it wasn't allowed. From then on Kilrain grew weaker | and wéaker. Blood was flowing from his nose and mouth, and it required only a slight push to send him to the ground. Finally, in the seventy-fifth round he was sent down and could scarcely get up, and his seconds threw up the sponge. I remember an incident of the fight was the falling of a portion of the seats, but as I recall 'it no one was seriously hurt, Fight fans from dis- tant places attended that battle just as they go great distances today for (a championshif fight. I know there was one special train load from New York and another from Chicago. Tough Place for Managers. Of the six managers who handled Coast League teams at the start of last season only one will be on .the job when the gong rings April 2nd to usher in the 1918 season. Frank Chance of the Angels; Harry Wolverton, of the Seals; Geo. Stovall, of the Rigers; and Bill Bern- hard, of the Bees, have passed out of the league... Walter Henry Me- Credie, then With Portland, has joined the Bees. This sleaves only Del Howard, of the Oaks, a manager who will be with a eam he was with in 1917. Wade Killifer too Chance's place, Jerry Downs replaced Wolverton, Essick replaced Stovall, MeCredie replaced Dernhard, besides losing his ball team. Who will be who at Sac- ramentp is unsettled.

Marty of the Lost-known steeplechase rid- ers in Kemftueky, ih in receipt of a letter from the National Steeple- chase and Hunt Association, of New York, requesting him to send in his application for a license to ride dur- ing the year. Yourell says this is the first time in "is career as a rider, which embraces fourteen years, that he has ever received such a letter from that organization, indicating that there is a scarcity of steeple- chase jockeys, due to the fact that So many of the old clan have joined the colors. Baseball at Oakland. An unusually large number of amateur baseball teams at Oakland. Cal., have been playing this winter owing to the late arrival of the rain. There has been a suggestion of mid- summer acctivity on' Sundays, when every available field has been utiliz- ed by competing nines. Harle Neale, the Reds' outfielder, and former ®far football player, coached the elpven at West Virginia Wesleyan last fall and scored a dis- tinet triumph in this role. {HERE tonDULtER, ESOT CRAST S THE COMPE NIAT ION THE TREE r (AW COMPANY DEMARD FOR cAmRY ing : : i TWo PASSENGERS. / I'™ PAVING Fog MYSELE AND John "state-of mental distraction and de-| | service!" | conclusion that { "Big Ban" Yourell, of Louisville, one| ------ A COLLEGES' MISTAKEN IDEA.

Princeton tried the system last fall and found it footless. And as to Yale, The Yale Daily News savs that "'the university in her complete abolition of major sport teams has been in the wrong it is useless to deny." The very term, as well as| the idea."informal" has excited var-| fously the risibilities, the scorn and | the anger of critics of the policy adopted by the Big Three. The lexi- con gives as definition of "informal" something done not in the customary manner, irregular. As a secondary meaning Shakespeare and other classic writers gives us sanction for accepting the word as signifying a! rangement. i "It is to be hoped," says this alle | college daily, "that those in control will be broad-minded enough to real- ize the mistake before spring and | that we shall have a baseball nine a | track team, and a crew representing | the university and taking part in out- | side contests under the West Point system."

President Ban Johmson of American League has come to the baseball will enjoy much of the old prosperity this vear, is convinced that there will be an abundance of good playing material, no matter how many young men are drafted from the profession by Uncle Sam. Johnson seems to sgree with other prominent baseball men that the public will require much recreation this year, and that fairly 'good Sport will receive liberal patronage. The fans understand the difficulties under which the game must be play- ed until the war is over, and they are not expected to show impatience or lack of interest the Judge Favdrs Boxing: Justice Hendrick, in the: Supreme Court at New York, declared the anti-prize fighting law constitutional when he dismissed a writ of habeas corpus obtained by a boxer who had been arrested for taking part in a bout to which an admission fee had been charged. It was claimed the boxer did not know the audience had paid to see the exhibition. "Sparring in itself is not inherent- ly wrong,"declared Judge Hendrick. "The Legislature has not undertaken = to declare it so. Neither is sparring as an exhibition evil in itself. But in the judgment of the Legislature it tends to corrupt the public morals, and for that reason it is prohibited."
