OCR Text	Show The editor of the Salt Lake Tribune took occasion Sunday to -deify the name of John L Sullivan, the one-time champion prize; fighter of the world. Sullivan was a great fighter and a good pport, but as a pugilist and a ring man he had nothing on James J. Corbett and Robert Fitzsimmons. In Sullivan's fighting days pugilism was to America what athletics is today. For that reason Sullivan received more attention from the press than modern fighters. Were Sullivan to live over again he could not possibly become so well known. He was a big, strong, game fighter and defended hi title as champion of the world for 12 long year.;, tut there are ring men today who are unknown outside of their own little circle who could whip Sullivan the best day he ever saw.
