Sullivan Belt is . in Chicago Court Donnelly Bring? Suit to Restrain the Exhibiting of What He Claims is Imitation of Famous Girdle. CHICAGO, May . (Special Telegram.) Few fight fans knew that the orltflnal John L. Sullivan championship belt be longed to a Chicago man until a suit brought tn the circuit court today disclosed the fact. It seems that Alexander F. Robb is charged with exhibiting a fao simile of the famous belt and Thomas N. Donnelly, who owns the original, asks that Robb b restrained from exhibiting It. According to Donnelly, Mr. Robb'a fan slmfle 1 worth only 1J00, while bis Is valued at 310.000. This magnificent trophy was presented to John I. en July 4, Wtt. the year before he fought Charley Mitchell In Chantllly, France. - At that time John L. was the most famous character In tha sporting world, and the belt really represented the oham plonshlp of the world, although critics have argued themselves blue In the face whether John evb,r was the world' title holder. It was two years later that SulUvan met and beat Jake Kllraln at Richburg, over th seventy-five-round route. This fight and the on with Mitchell are among the most noted In th history of the prise ring. Donnelly has had th belt in hi pos session for many year. It Is said that John I. pawned it when In financial trouble. TIGERS TAKE FINAL CONTEST St. I.ools l.nsrs by Moore of Eight to Fear. ST. LOUIS, May .
