—— Human Interest Story Behind Montana Jack Sullivan’s De- feat of Sailor Burke at the) Olympic A. C. Ceorsiett, 1011, ty The Prem Pettuhing Co, York World), Hn sullivan family Is on the map again, for last night at the Olym- pic A, C, Montana Jack Sullivan Gave Sailor Burke the trimming of his Young and eventful life. Behind this fight there is a storr—e ttle “human interest tale,” ae the Bun- day editors say. ‘The Montana beye, Jack and Dan, came to New York a few months ago backed by & long record ef successful ‘Western fights. Jack, the older of the two and the more clever, had besren Jim Fiynn, who knocked out Al Kauf- man @ few nights ago in Kansas City, ama had fought a twenty-round draw with Ketchel. Dan was younger and less experienced, but stronger and more Tugged as well as more the fighte in appearance. The two began training together at Brown's, very quietly, and waited for matches. Because of their Western reputation they found oppon- ents hard to find. Both hed been beat- ing heavyweights, while either could easily make the olf Tommy Ryan mid- Gleweight iimit—1h4 pounds ringmde. Middieweights who beat heavyweights @ren't popular among other espirants for the middleweight title, Jack Sullivan fought Connte Smith, and won easily. Then along came Frank Klaus. He was willing to fight anybody, whether the name was Sul van or Bachigaloup!, and with entire Glsregard for Western performances. Klaus fought and stopped Jack Sullivan in three flerce rounds, the referee end- ing the bout when Sullivan was belp- Jess on his fect after several hard knockdowns, Brother Dan, in Jack's corner, was almost broken hearted It ‘was up to Dan to tation, and he di walloping Sailor Burke. Jack stood in Dan's corner that night at the N. Y. A.C, and saw the younger brother, after a terrific, see-saw battle, eaten so badly that the fight was etopped at the end of the ninth in UP-TO-DATE AND NEWSY ANCHOR ON A —_ “Harlem Tommy,” However, Isn’t Neglecting It in Prep- aration for K.

Every-| body Jeughed at the Sullivans now. Dan went west to fogs his way up again. Jack stayed in New York. His one desire wae to fight and whip Burke. “Tt! whip him gure,” he de- clared. “If he can whip me I'm no fighter, and I'll go back to Montana— tack to the mines.’ E Olympic was packed last night I —as it always is, The crowd kn) all about the tragedy of the Sullivans, It was curious to see this jest scene. Ite sentiment was with Montana Jack, but its money was offered on Burke, odds two to one, with Ro takers. In his corner Montana Jack seemed to be not in the least nervous. He @tared across at Burke, not very amia- ly. When called to the centre he ar- ued with the referee and looked Burke over truculently. Burke only smiled Mis superior smile.
