j FROM TOW BOY TO WORLD’S j
i - CHAMPION--= 1
ft A History of the Life of John L. Sullivan
®i (By H. C. Hamilton, United Press Staff Correspondent) 2
! '£ (Copyright, 1918, by United Press)
CHAPTER XXVI
The greatest battle of the life of
John L. Sullivan was yet to come. [
Having conquered the best of the
fighters in the world, and been con
quered in turn by a man who proved
to be his master, the Boston Strong
Boy was at that time, fighting the bat
tle of his life—in fact for his lfie. He
won this bout in Terre Haute, Ind., on
March 5, 1905, many years after he
| had heard himself stripped of his
crown as world champion.
Sullivan’s defeat at the hands of
Corbett saw his actual retirement
from the ring, although he did meet
Tom Sharkey in a brief bout in New
York some time afterward. He was
i still in the public eye, however, and
11 receiving just as much praise from
i ‘ sports lovers as ever. His fondness
j for drink was leading him down and
I and down, gradually pinching to a cer
j tain finish the wonderful stamina that
i made Sullivan the greatest of all
| fighters.
1 On the March afternoon referred to
| Sullivan and Billy Hart, an old friend
f of the former champion, were sitting
1 together at a table in a 'Terre Haute
| cafe. A bottle of ale was ordered for
1 Sullivan, He sat and looked at it for
I! a brief moment, then suddenly snatch
|, ed up the glass into which the ale had
j been poured, and dumped the liquid
| into a cuspidor.
I “If I ever take another drink, l hope
1 I choke, so help me God,” he an
| nounced to the startled Hart—and he
| j didn’t ever take another.
I j The story of Sullivan’s fight against
| j liquor is a far more thrilling account
| j than that of any of his battles. Here
j | was a man, more popular among a
certain element than the President of
I ! the United States, and a man who
j]j held his popularity deep into other
- circles. He had more friends, per
haps, than any other man. He was
I known as a drinking man, one who
could swallow mouthful after mouth
ful of whiskey and other drinks and
still keep his feet. With those facts
in view, Sullivan’s friends laughed and
jeered at him. They made it harder
for him to quit than it would have
been otherwise, but his mind was
resolute. He fought off the craving
and the taunts of friends and acquain
tances. He stuck to his resolve just
the same as if \ie had been fighting
John Barleycorn in a twenty-foot ring
—and he won.
Ten years later, in speaking of his
triumph over liquor, Sullivan re
marked that he would have beer
worth a million dollars if he had lefi
liquor alone.
When the people of Boston—friends
of the famous old gladiator—found thal
Sullivan really was in earnest abou
quitting drink, they gave him a bene
fit. With the money that came from
this, Sullivan purchased a small farm
' near Boston and there he settled dowr
to spend the rest of his days with hi;
second wife.

SUSTAINS 5E1IIS LOS!
The shaft house, new bunkhouse
and all the machinery belonging ti
the gypsum mine located on Chich;
goff island, burned down Saturda;
evening, March 23. The new bunker
on the beach, a couple of miles away
were the only buildings saved.
The fire started from sparks fron
the boiler stack which ignited the dr;
timbers around the boiler house. Ther
was a heavy wind blowing at the Unit
and within 15 minutes after the fir
started the buildings were burned t
the ground. There were only thre
men at the mine and they were unabl
to do anything to combat the blaz<
When working a full' crew, the mine ';
employs about twenty men.
The mine was discovered about
seventeen years ago and has been in
operation for ten or twelve years. It
belongs to the Pacific Coast Gypsum
Company of Tacoma.
No report from their manager, D.
C. Stapleton, has been received as to
whether the mine will be reopened,
but as it was always considered a
money maker it is not likely that they 1
will allow the mine to remain idle.
The product of the mine is indi
cated in its name, gypsum.

LONDON, Feb. 28 (by mail).—Here
are two pen pictures of Hindenburg.'
Both were taken from German news
papers. Take your choice or neither:
“He is a gross, obese, gluttonous,
elephantine, slow-witted man, more
fitted for a butchers' slaughter-house
than the command of an army—a man
; who eats enormously, drinks prodigi
ously, and derives all of his inspira
tion from his henchman Ludendorff."
On the other hand he is “a tamed
Wodin, a smiling, gray-haired Sieg
fried. The more atentively one stud
ies him the more evident becomes the
fact that one is standing in a mighty :
, presence. The man must be seen in
J all the overwhelming grandeur of his
j personality. It is symbolical of all <
i* that is lofty and noble in the men of J
| the Germanic race. Since te days of J
Bismarck no head of such power as his J
: has been met with in Germany. On <
■ his head, in the midst of his gray <
> | hair, Hindenburg has a patch of beau- <
1} tiful auburn which no picture of his ,
7 i has as yet reproduced. It is as though ,
* one contemplated a weird combinn- ,
.! tion of that which is good and that <
| which is demoniac.”
