Breaks Count
in Pugdom.
Says Sullivan
"Montana Jack" Sullivan i* a box
er who fought during the era of low
purses that the fans won't have to
siago any benefits for.
Jack saved his shekels. Now he
lives the life of Klley, while hi* cow
hands h#hdle his ranch near O'Neill,
Neb.
Just for the love of the game, Jack
has taken charge of Homer Sheridan,
the Sioux City middleweight, and
hopes to impart to this promising
lad all his cleverness.
Sullivan never owned a title, but
he was up among the top-notcher*.
He got a draw with Stanley Ketchell
two months before he won the mid
dleweight title and beat Joe Thomas
10 months after the latter had lost
the crown to Ketchell.
Flirting With a Title.
"I was always flirting with Lady
Crown, but never could get quite
over," says Jack.
Crowns were scarce articles in his
day. It was even hard to get fights
until a ‘fighter boxed two or three
times for nothing. "Heputation fights”
they were called.
"Sometimes if a fighter went big ;
in his first fight, he could get a !
series of bouts," he said.
Jack recalls a tough break he got
in San Francisco.
“The fight game was booming on
the coast. The 'Golden West’ was the
Mecca of all fighters at that time. So
I hit it for ’Frisco, the center of the
sport.
"I introduced myself to a promoter.
He had never heard of me. He admit
ted to me later that he thought I was
a ’bug’ when I asked to fight such
tough ones as Kelly, Papke and A1
Neal.
"He refused to put me on. hut told
me I could workout as a sparring
partner with Kelly. I jumped at the
chance. The next day when I got Into j
the ring with Kelly. I warned him
I was going to ’shoot.’
Out on Ills Feet.
“He appeared delighted.
" ‘Rood,’ he said, 'I haven’t l|hd a
decent workout In month* They're all
Canvas kisser*.',
“Of course he thought I was one
of the specie* too. But in the third
round 1 let one go and down he went.
Tills won me a fight with Yank Camp- i
bell.
" 'You'll murder him.' Kelly told
me.
"Well. T rushed out at Campbell In
tent on stopping him in the first
round. If I did my reputation was
made.
Starting All Over.
' But before I realized what had
happened he let one go from the
floor and caught me flush on the chin.
“Then .for the first time in my life
I knew what it was to be knocked
out on one s feet.
“I managed to stay up. My head
was clear, but I couldn't control my
muscles. In the third round I re
gaitjad the power of execution and
stopped Campbell In the fourth.
"But I had made a mlsernble show
ing in the first three rounds and they
believed my knockout was acciden
tal.
"1 had to liegin at the bottom and
build myself up again. But 1 finally
did.
“I got a fight with A1 N’cal at Los
Angeles and later with Jim Flynn. 1
fought Flynn three years before his
fight with Johnson. 1 got a draw and
ho outweighed me 32 pounds.

T0\uj i'Mozart id the
Kind oj Cigar it idj
MOZART is a particular kind of
cigar, to suit a particular kind of
smoker — the man who likes an uncom
monly mild cigar of Havana fragrance.
If you are that kind of smoker, you will
be delighted to find Mozart as mild as a
May morning — and as fragrant.
Mildness is extremely important in s
cigar, and so is fragrance. But neither
one alone will make a good cigar.
The increasing demand for Mozart is due
to its great success in bringing uncom
mon mildness and uncommon fragrance
together.
Isn’t Mozart yomr kind of cigar? It is
waiting for you in the nraraat good
cigar sSotv.
Try Moearts for a weak — and watch.
