SULLIVAN’ AND As Hour of Mill Approaches Baltimore Negro Is Fayor- ite at Odds of 10 to 8. BY ROBERT EDGREN. HE fight to-morrow night between Mike (Twin) Sullivan and Joe Gans will be a legitimate contest for the welterweight champlonship! It will come off in San Francisco, There is little batting, as Gans has been mixed up in several shady affairs on the Pa- cific Coast, and he has lost the conf- dence of the sporting public. Joe Walcott, whose right hand never mended after being shattered by a bul- let @ year or 80 ago, has retired from the ring, leaving she welter-weight nue without @ defender. Joe Gans fought Walcott a twenty- round draw in San Francisco, Sept. s0, 194. That wos Waloott's last appear- ance in the ring. The fact that Gans held him level in @ fight at the welter- weight limit (42 pound ring-side) gives jthe Baltfmorean an equal claim to tne| title. Sullivan Is White Champion.- Mike Sullivan {8 the white welter- most of the good men in the class, He was beaten by Buddy Ryan (who, by the way, was overweight in the fight). | Big Champion Lives in the FOR WELTER- Just at this time Walcott shot himeelf | through the right hand, shattering the present at odds of ll to 8 Seeing John. in Boston Started the SuTivartwins in the game.. GANS FIGHT WEIGHT TITLE. bones and putting timsel® out of the fighting game. Ryan then claimed the championship, He was whipped in turn by Jimmy Gardner in fifteen rounds. Gardner's career as champion was short. Just three months after the fight with Ryan he lost to Mike Gulliven. This was Nov, 9, 146. So at present Guilivan 1s undoubtedly the white welter-welaht title holder, and he has a better claim to the real championship than Gens. The fight between these two will settle all questions. Sullivan is a pecuMar fighter. He is tall end lanky ‘His legs are thinner than Fitesimeons'. He ie bald as an eagle. In general make-up he looks much more like a preacher than a fighter. But he is there with the science an@ the punch. Like tis twin brother. Jack, he is game and willing at ali , and he can go from start to Aaleh ‘without stonping or etallng. Only Given a Draw. Sullivan fought Gans at Herford's Baltimore club last September in @ fif- teea-round bout. Although he whipped the negro he was only ¢: Tt ls claimed by the Gans aupporters that Joseph was holding back In that fight, hoping to get another matoh with a bigger purse attached. This {s a fa- vorite trick in the Herford stable, But | Sullivan believes he can repeat the trick every time he starts with the former lightweight champion. ‘The weight, M2 pounds ringside, is the | wolterweignt’ limit.
