L. Sullivan Beat Many Title Aspirants in Very Short Order Old Champ Used to Knock ’Em Dizzy Long Before Fifth Round Rolled Around; Took Many Risky Chances. BY JACK SKELLY Many expert boxing scribes have recently declared that Jess Willard is the first heavyweight champion to lose his mighty title in so short a combat as 12 rounds. If they had taken the trouble of looking over old John L. Sullivan’s Ting record, they might have discovered that on several ©ecasions he fought foreign and other opponents in only round bouts; and if John L. had been knocked out or a referee’s decision given against him the winner would ‘have undoubtedly been recognized here and abroad as the world’s big champion. Charley Mitche]l was brought to this country in 1883 by Billy Madden, to try and win Sullivan's laurels. Madden announced the clever young Britisher as “the boxing cham- of England,” and nobody disputed his title, either e or abroad, Mitchell had won the heavyweight com- : " Petition in London the year previous, and he was looked | upon as a dangerous foe for Sullivan, as he was much More skillful and artful in ring tactics.

Finally it was decided to send for Sharpe. He ts to have charge of all ath- letics and will have plenty of help in coaching the various teams.
