A short while after the Ryan bout, | John L. went to Denver and fought a four-round draw with Duncan Mc- Donald. From there he journeyed to Chicago, remaining there for many weeks. On January 18, 1887 he fought Patsy Cardiff in Minneapolis. John L. broke the radius of his arm in the sixth round with a punch to rdif’s head and the contest was | declared a draw. Upon his return to New York in the ! Jatter part of the winter of 1886-1887, | sullivan was challenged by Jake Kil- rain. The Kilrain defi called for a | | bare knuckle fight with London prize ring rules governing and for a $5,- 000 side bet. John L. at once in- sisted upon a side bet of $10,000, probably figuring the sum was too reat for Kilrain to put up. But he ! reckoned without Richard K. Fox. ox, an ardent admirer of Kilrain, at once informed Sullivan that he | would put up the other $5,000 To show ood faith he posted that amount. or some time the match hung fire. | Kilrain’s friends asserted that John | | 1. was trying to “duck” out. At any rate, the challenge was not accepted | by Sullivan at that time and when he received an offer to tour the British Isles he accepted and sailed for Eng- lund October 27, 1887.
