HE IS CHAMPION NO LONGER
Sullivan's Terrible Rislit Was Harmless
Against OorboU's ' Clover Generalship.
FIGHTERS WHO HAVE BEEN CHAMPIONS

Never before has the sporting world wit
nessed such a symposium of ppgllistio at
tractions ns was offered at Now Orleans last
week and it Is not probable that any of thono
who saw Iho three uroat battles will ever see
tbo like again. For six months past such an
Interest has ueon exhibited In Iho event by
the general public as was never known be
fore , livery movement of the men who were
to bo principals in tbo great combats was
jealously watched and telegraphed all ever
tlio world. The aspirants for championship
honors fur a brlnf time occupied a moro pro-
inlnaut position in the Interest of tbo public
than tbo candidates for Ihe presidency of the
nation. Around tbo ring at New Orleans
crowded the representatives of every class of
humanity congregated from every state aud
territory of tliu union and even irom across
thu sea. The event bus proved in ono respect -
spoct ut least n burprlso to these who are reputed -
putod authorities on such affair ) . It was
the general opinion that Jitclc MoAulIffo
would retain bis tltlo of champion light
weight of tbo United Stales If ho was In
condition , and champion ho is. No onn
thought that iounc SUelly stood the
allghost chanro of defeating Dixou und bo
didn't. The best Judges and tbo most ox-
purloncad sportlni ; men all over the world
un i ted In the opinion that the great John L
would whip Corbett us easily us bo hud da-
I foutod other aspiring pugilists , but the talent
was mistaken and paid dearly for tholr
error
It looks t > s though tbo defeat nf Sullivan
marks a now urn In modern pugilism. For
the past few years a change has been grad
ually coming about In tbo tlstio art. 1'tio
slugi'iug tactics of the past bavo been giv
ing way to n moro modern , moro suloutillc
and wilhal a superior , style of boxing. The
power of moro slrongtn has boon diminished
by the development of u uhyslcal science
against which brute force was of no avail.
Frank Slavin's strength and hitting powers
which has made him a conqueror against
Imlllur Indies proved a fulluro against Iho
clean solonco and gencrulshtp of Puior Jack-
eon. Ted Pritchurd who had knocked out u
numborot heavyweights who had llillo lo
Uojiend on but their stiongtb was nn easy
victim to the superior sulll of Jim Hull.
Sullivan alonu njimilnoa It his terrllla
Btrt'iiu'th. But n w ho too htissuucuuiood to
u man who Is ropresontailvo of iho nemo of
physical irniuini ; and puuilUtlo Hcionc-3.
Against Corbott's llgbtninullko movements
Una torrlllo right was hurmlusi as uoblld'n
plaything and nfler Hiicli a pummullng as
Sullivan never received before ho went down
und out ooforo u succession of blows Uollv-
orod with loss force
perhaps but with n
iclonlllla accuracy ilmt rendered them
douuly offoctlvo.
It Is almost unnecessary to suv that as far
as bolting "ion wuro concerned Sullivan was
tbo favorite at odds of about U to 1 , thouu'h
these who looked purely at form failed to
ice uhy tbo blir man should bo selected as un
Infulliblo winner. It Is true that Sullivan
bad u wonderful locord for knocking out
inoii all over tuo country , bul it was argued
that very few of tlinso men bud bom men
of ny account. This was undoubtedly true
to itoiuo extent.but the fait romalnod that ho
had buaton Kllruln when the Baltnuorean
Iwasatbls best , and that after ouu of the
uougustand buidcst fights on record. It was
ouliut Kllruhi was a wonderfully good man
'but day , but the chvumituncos uiucr which
hey fought were all ngulnat the mun , They
were ilKhilng In almost tnomcntury expcc *
tutlon of arrest on a criminal charge , und it
is now very well understood that each
party fully expected that Iho other coutoia-
plated foul play in which some of the desperate -
porato men In the country were expected 10
take a prominent , purl. In nddllion toall -
they fought for two hours In the broiling
sun , whllo the mercury stood at 118 = I'ahr , ,
tbo creator part of the tlmo. Whllo thn
battle was in progress strong men were fall
ing down fainting with the intense heat.
though thov had nothing to do except to sit
still and watch the pugilists pulling forth
tbo most violent exertions of which ihoy
wore capable. Such an exhibition pt
strenclb , pluck and endurance has rarely
boon tvltncsscd by any men In any country.
and when U is rbmomborod that at the end
of the light Sullivan was an easy victor
It Is not surprislns that Be should
have boon regarded by these who saw
him pass through the terrible ordeal
as practically Invincible. Kllrain never ap
peared to bo the same man afterwards , and
has lost prestlgo and physical vigor. Sulli
van , on iho other hand , hud never shown any
symptoms of bis constitution having boon in
any way Injured by that famous struggle ,
and it Is roaxonablo to assume that bo was in
no way injured by It.
Much stress was also laid on the reports of
Sullivan's dissipation and irregular habits ,
but it was also romemoorod that whllo Just
such reports had been widely circulated re
garding Sullivan prior to bis light with KIN
rain no man ever entered Iho ring in bolter
condition than Sullivan did al Ulchburg.
Il would bo tedious to enumerate the long
list of "knockouts" accomplished by Sulli
van. His technical record has boon pub
lished again nnd ugain , nnd thoueh ho lost a
very badly made match with Tug Wilson
and broke his arm whllo boxing with Patsy
Cardiff , he mot with no defeats , the
nearest approach being hJ draw with
Charley Mitchell in France.
It may bo said , ihoroforo , that'whon Sulli
van stepped into the ring Wednesday ni < ht ,
bo appeared bi'foro 8,009 speotulors a pugilist
who , with a tremendously louc list of vic
tories to his credit , had not suffered a slnglo
clofenU His career had boon altogether
unique , and pruollcally unparalleled in the
history of thu prize ring. It was difficult
for tbom who had witnessed bis triumphs
lo rocou'nlzo for him even the possibility of
defeat ,
And , on iho other hand , It was also easy
to understand why Coroott's friends should
bo full of confidence. Like Sullivan , tbo
young Californlun bad a brilliant record , unmarred -
marred by u single defeat. His list of vic
tories rrfis much shorter than Sullivan's ,
but bo was still young in Iho business , and
the men whom he had met are all reckoned
good ones. Ills balllo with Jackson ,
though a draw , had gene fur to trivo his
frinnds confidence in him. Sullivan bad de
feated Kllrain in 75 rounds ; Slavln had
defeated Kilruiu In nluo rounds ; Jackson
hud easily disposed of Slavln , and Corbott
had made a draw with Jackson at the oid ol
a very long light , the llrst few rounds of
which had boon very hotly contested. By
this test Corbott looked to bo a bolter man
than Sullivan , and to emphasize this line of
argument it was pointed out that Corbott
had not many months after the Klchburg
battle virtually disposed of Kllruln ooforotho
.Southern Athletic club in Now Orleans in
six rounds.
Again , It was urged bv the friends of Cor-
buit that ho had never indulged in ox cesses
of any kind that were at all calculated to Im
pair his physical vigor. He was also much
younger thuu Sullivan and iho surgeon who
baa m emu re il him bad pronounced him a
blggor man than his burly unlagnnlsi.
Tiioro were also many who backed Corbott
for this fight who hud \\on thousands of dollars
lars on Sullivan in bis former battles , but
who b&lleved that a prize lighter who bad not
taken iho uest care of himself must begin to
co down hill before reaching Sullivan' * aeo.
They thougt.1 ho huJ made u mistake of stav
ing too long ia Ibo ring ai so many before
him hud done and thai bis Wellington und
\Vuturloo wore to rome In the young Califor
nia giant and the eroat arena of the Olympic '

Tbo last great tight at Now Orleans fur
nished a striking example of Iho fallacy of a
' dead cinch" bot. Tnat Sullivan would win
was a foregone conclusion in the minds of a
multitude of enthusiastic admirers of the
great Bostonian and tholr depleted purses
now testify to the loyalty ot their adhcronco
to tholr champion. While the odds were
generally quoted at ! ) to 1 and 5 to 2 there
were hundreds who cave any odds that were
demanded so long us Ihoy ware iiblo to place
a bot. They regarded a oat on Sullivan a < >
picking so much money up in the street and
were not particular now muuh they risked in
Iho effort to obiulu it. Bets of 5 lo 10 to 1
were not uncommon and the night of the
llcbt ono overconfident admirer of tbo
former champion boU)7 tel In a local poolroom
on Sullivan. Such hols as these are simple
Idiocy , no matter bow sure a winning may
seem to lie. There is no such n thing as a
"dead sure thing" In a
prUo light us a good
many men have found out to tholr cost. No
man Is so big and strong and clover that ho
does not stand a chunco to bo whipped ,
although bo may have ovorv cuunco In tlio
world to win , Thu mou who were foolish
enough to bet 10 to 1 on Sullivan only re
ceived exactly what their lunacy deserved.

goes , 'Ho pleased nobody. ' The 4UO became

the rules , would cause a smile to illuminate
tbo phiz of a slono man. A small boy away
up In Iho corner of the grand stand notitlod
Cushman that ho was 'boluinc the book up-
sldo down. ' The umpire seemed bothered
about ilndlng the particular rule of clay that
would lit tbo occasion , and finally gave up in

congregation. Verily , Mr. Cushraan had a

The Tourist Wheelmen and the Omaha
Wheel club will start on tholr annual cen
tury run at fi o'clock Sunday inornlurf , Sep
tember 33 , provided the woalher and roads
nro permissible. Why not icubo tuo affair a
rnoro pleasant ono by Inaugurating a Joint
century of the two clubs ] A little unbend
ing on ibo part of oaob would bo the moans
of u most enjoyable time for everybody.
Such runs do not occur every day In tbo
week , or oirory week in the monthlor'ovcry
month In ibo year , and under Ihosopartlcu-
Inr uircuaiBiauces tuo mailer should bo given
a generous thought. Potty olub nrojuulca

eral good will provail.
There Is some talk of a general reunion of
tbo tiloyclo clubs within the radius of 100
miles at Blair on the ItSth. There scums to
bo no spoclnl program , but the Omaha
Wlicol club has taken tbo mutter up and
will very likely carry the schomu to a suc
cessful Issue. A guuerul Invitation uuomi to
havu been issued and no doubt will bo no-
coined by the majority ot the
neighboring clubs. The reunion would
have boon u greater euccem
had invitations been extended to ouch und
ovoryclub within the \lcliilty. If the re
union is to bo a nonpartisan affair It should
bo widely advertised and "worked up , "

Aflerovory successful effort whoiher In
the political arena , the commercial world or
lii the piizo ring comes Iho lundcnoy of nar
row minds to bulittla the vhtor and his
achiovomcnt. While the axiom that nothing
succeeds like success n-ay bo literally true it
[ 3 novurtliclois a-fact that tno successful
man cannot win tils honors so deservedly but
that envious eyes will see a spray of dogwood
among his laurels.
OnVoduosday evening James Corboth
fairly won thu title of champion of tliu
world. It did not como to him ihrougli goad
fortune or bv default , but was noncstlv
earned in a fair contest In iho presence at
such * an audience as never before witnessed
a similar affair and under circumstances
which rendered double dealing next to im
possible. But hardly bad the result of the
contest oeon flashed ever the wires when
fiom a multitude ) of disappointed pirtlsans
all ever the country went up the cry ,
"Sullivan sold out. " Such an Idea is
not only unreasonable out unmanly.
It smacks too much of the hard loser anil
bul lij.llo of the honest lover of the manly
urt who wants to sco tlio bast man win , and
Is willing to concede him his victory when it
is fairly earned.
It is thoutTlvorsal opinion uf those who
witnessed the llsht and are best qtinlillod lo
Judu-o , lhat never was u tight moro hotly
contested nnd moro squarely won than tlui
great battle bolwoon Iho two uroatest ex
ponents of the llslio art the world bus ever
been. It was a light wboro the omluranco
and vilulliy of youtli , coupled with iho most
magnificent ring' generalship nnd the nemo of
physical liMinlng , proved suparlor lo a brulo
strength moru or less Impaired by years and
dlaslpatlon. There is llttlu onontrli of honor
aUiQhcd lo Iho tltlo of champion of the
world. Such as It Is , Corbett isonlitlod to It.
It is hard lor some men to bellovo that tlio
Uostonlan could bo defoalcd except through
some dcgrco of chicanery and fraud. They
had seoii him knock out man after man bv
his prodigious strength , and hud como to be
lieve that his power was invincible. Hut
skill Is ever thu winner in nb.utlo with brula
force , and Sulllvan'a ml ml re re will have to
admit that their Idol bus been dnposod from
his pedestal bv a hand moro worthy to
the honors than bis own.
