Montana Jack Trims Sailor Burke.
R. Edgren, one of t he leading sport
ing writers of this country, had the
following account of the Sullivan
Burke fight, which was pulled off in
New York City on May in the New
York evening world of May 9th:
“The Sullivan family is on the map
again, for last night at the Olympic
A. 0. Montana Jack Sullivan gave
Sailor Burke the trimming of his
young and eventful life.
“Behind this fight there Is a story—a
little “human interest tale,’* as the
Sunday editors say.
The Montana boys, Jack and Dan,
oame to New, York a few months ago
hacked by a long record of succesful
Western fights. Jack the older of the
two and the more clever, had beaten
Jim Flynn, who knocked out A1 Kauf
man a few nights ago In Kansas City,
and had fought a twenty round draw
with Ketcbel. Dan was younger and
less experienced, but stronger and
more rugged as well as more the fight
er In appearance. The two began train
ing together at Brown’s very quietly,
and waited for matches. Because of
their Western reputation they found
opponents hard to find. Both had been
beating heavyweights, while either
opuld easily make the old Tommy Ry
and middlwelght limit-164 pounds ring
side, Middle weights who beat heavy
weights aren’t popular among aspir
ants for the middleweight title.
“Jack Sullivan fought Connie Smith,
and won easily. Then along came
Frank Klaus. He was willing to fight
anybody, whether the name was Sulli
van or Bachigaloupl, and with entire
disregard for western performances.
Klaus fought and stopped Jack Sulli
lvan In three fierce rounds, the referee
ending tne bout when Sullivan was
helpless on his feet after several bard
knockdowns . Brother Dan in Jack’s
corner, was almost broken-hearted. It
was up to Dan to save the family rep
utation, and be determined to do it by
walloping Sailor Burke.
“Jack stood in Dan’s corner that
night at the N. Y. A. 0. and saw the
younger brother afters terrific see
saw battle, beaten so badl^ that the
fight was stopped at the end of the
ninth In response to the demands of
the spectators. It wasaorushingblow.
Everybody laughed at the Sullivans
now. Dan went west to fight his way
up again. Jack stayed In New York.
His one desire was to fight and whip
Burke. “I’ll whip him sure,” he de
clared. “If he can whip me I’m no
fighter, and I’ll go back to Montana
back to the mines.”
“The Olympio was packed last night
—as it always is. The crowd knew all
about the tradgedy of the Sullivans.
It waa curious to see this last scene.
Its sentiment was with Montana
Jack, but its money was offered on
Burke, odds two to one, with no tak
ers.
"In bis corner Montana Jack seemed
to be not In the least nervous. He
stared aoross at Burke, not very ami
ably. When called to the centre he ar
gnsd with the referee and looked
Burke over treculently, Burks only
smiled his superior smile. He Intend
ed to stow Mr. Sullivan away In a
round or two
“And for the first three rounds it
looked as If Burke would make good.
In the very first ollnch he used his
favorite trick, pulling Jack Into a ter
rible uppercut that brought a trickle
from bis nostrils. Jack only looked
grim and fought carefully. In fact he
was so careful for three rounds that
the spectators grew restless. He duck
ed low to avoid Burke’s anxious
swings. He ollnched and wrestled,
and as he was a slim and txmy middle
weight compared to the robust sailor
(who was at least ten pounds heavier)
It seemed that he could not last long
at that game.
"‘But to the surprise of the spectators
Sullivan showed a wiry strength and a
skill that enabled him to tie Burke’s
hands and foil his furious efforts
Burke couldn’t land an effective blow.
He grew more and more exasperated,
while Sulhvan laughed and "kidded"
him continually. Once Burke wrestl
ed Sullivan down, but as they fell
Jack twisted dear and fell on top.
Burke butted deliberately. Sullivan

FRANK M. PIXLEY
DRUGGIST
mtted back, two for one, Burke used
lls elbows Sullivan elbowed too. The
tailor could’nt understand it. In the
second round Sullivan brought color
from Burke’s nose with a jarring right
“In the third Burke rushed and Sul
livan bent over wit ti almost grotesque
awkwardness to avoid his swings lie
^Inched, and as he closed in hit a
ahort snappy blow at Burke’s left ear.
Then In the fourth. Sullivan dropped
his caution and began to fight He
landed tierce rights that drove the
sailor back and broke bis rushes. In
the clinches he hammered at Burke'r
left ear deliberately like a football
team hammering at one spot in the
opposing line. Burke heeled and el
bowed and roughed. “Where’s your
smile, Burke?” jeered a spectator
Burke forced a grin and Sullivan wip
ed It away with a right. Sullivan was
laughing and talking as he fought.
He was “getting Burke’s goat.”
The fight went along plenty of mix
ing all the way. In the sixth Burke
jumped suddenly and began to shift
Ketcbel style. Instantly Sullivan leap
ed in and met him with savage left
and right, Burke clinched, and Sulliv
an never lost a chance to hit at that
left ear, It was swelling. Burke
put his left hand up to feel of it. He
didn’t like the idea of loosing his
beauty. He was exasperated. He
rushed and shifted, and Sullivan drove
him back on his heels before he could
start a punch. “Good boy, Sullivan.”
yelled the crowd.
“The fight was turned all Sullivan’s.
He was too shifty, too fast, too good a
sharpshooter for Burke. In the seven
th Burke set himself and drove a
heavy straight right to Jack’s jaw—
his famous knockout punch. Sullivan
countered almost before the thud of
Burke’s punch had reached the ring
aiders. And the counter was as heavy
as the hit. Burke began dancing.
Sullivan nailed him with a right, and
Burke clinching and holding, used his
elbows. There was fast fighting, Sulli
van was rushing Burke around the
ring. He landed a straight left on the
sailor’s jaw so hard that it knocked
Burke groggy. He staggered away,
with Sullivan pounding him and the
bell rang. They were in Sullivan’s
corner. Burke, laughing, pushed Sul
livan Into his chair. It was a bit of
stage play—of “goat getting ” But
Sullivan reached up and gave Burke's
head a jerk, and laughed at him.
“In the ninth Burke drove a crush
ing right to Sullivan’s chin, and again
Jack took the blow without flinching
and sent back a counter. “Go get him,
Jack—you’ve got him!” yelled the
crowd, as Burke’s knees shook. The
yelling was all for'Sullivan now. But
Burke stood him off, Sullivan had ouly
a little the better of the milling.
“At the beginning of the last round
the handshake was at arms leugth,
both being weary of trickery. At once
Burke began mixing furiously. It
seemed sure that one of his blows
must find the mark, but Sullivan's
head was elusive. Sullivan took the
aggressive again. “Sullivan wins by a
mile!" jeered the crowd. Burke, fur*
Ions, rushed—and got the worst of it.
At the end Jack Sullivan had it all
his own way. Burke’s left eye and
left ear were showing signs of wear,
and no music sounded better to him
than the last bell.
“After the bout as the boxers were
leaving tha hall, there was a discus
slon. Sullivan punched Burke’s man
ager, which was piling It on a little.
And then he walked down the street
to send a wire to brother Dan.”
