Sullivan as lie was in Ms prime as, a pugilist and as he looked two weeks ago. V S : j " . ' w V 'V-' . : - .' III, fis 1 champion of England. About this time I Jake Kilrain of Baltimore made a great, showing and was brought forth by Rich- ! ard K. Fox of New York. On Mav 7, 1SS7, Kilrain challenged John L. . Sullivan Sulli-van for $5000 a side and the championship champion-ship belt, but through a disagreement between Mr. Fox and Sullivan, the latter refused to match with Kilrain. The lat-I lat-I ter claimed the championship, but sporting sport-ing men throughout the country never recognized him as such, admitting on all sides that John L. was the real champion. cham-pion. On November 15, 1SS7, Kilrain was matched with Jem Smith and they fought on Deeemer 19, '1SS7. at Isle de S'ou-verains, S'ou-verains, France, with bare knuckles, ending end-ing in a draw after 100 rounds, lasting two hours and thirty minutes. George W. Atkinson of London was the referee, ref-eree, y Sullivan Beats Kilrain. On December 7, 1S89, " Sullivan challenged chal-lenged Kilrain for $10,000 a side and the match was made in Toronto, Canada-, on January 7. ' They fought July S, 1S89, at Riohburg. Miss., with bare knuckles, and Sullivan defeated Kilrain in seventy-five rounds, two hours and sixteen minutes. John Fitzpatrick of New Orleans was the referee. Now, as Smith was only champion of England and had fought only a draw with Kilrain, why shouldn't Sullivan hold the world's .title after his defeat of Kilrain? Kil-rain? That was the last bare knuckle fight upder London prize ring rules; that is, n championship fight, and it was John L. Sullivan who afterwards did so much to introduce the boxing gloves by meeting meet-ing all comers and touring - the. world. Many claimed that Charlie Mitchell shared the honors with Sullivan because of his thirty-nine round draw with him in France, but that is not true, for Sullivan Sul-livan held the title, and did not lose it. Sullivan traveled all over the world and met all comers, never meeting defeat, de-feat, and if he were not entitled to the championship of the world under Queens-berry Queens-berry rules, who was? Peter Jackson came over -from Australia as champion of that country, but Sullivan always drew the color line. James J. Corbet t, however how-ever fought Jackson ,a sixty-one round draw in 1S91, and in September. 1892, Corbett was matched with Sullivan at New Orleans. Followers all know that John L. was beaten by the younger man in twenty-one rounds and fair-minded critics will not go amiss in declaring that Corbett, too. was entitled to be classed i as world's champion, especially after his defeat of Mitchell, who claimed the title in England after Jem Smith retired.
