/ A History of the Life of John L. Sullivan t

CHAPTER VII
Many amusing tales have been told
of Sullivan’s trip around the country,
meeting all comers. Some of them
carry a touch of pathos, also, for Sul
livan, rought though he was, still was
one of the kindest-hearted men, and
could not bear to see suffering. Rem
iniscenes of “the noblest Roman
of them all” invariably relate this side
of his nature along with the rest.
The most important of all these
matches undoubtedly were the goes
with- Charley Mitchell and Tug Wil
son in New York, and the battle with
Patsy Cardiff in Minneapolis. Car
diff never amounted to anything won
derful as a boxer after he had met
Sullivan, and neither did Wilson, but
Mitchell, already a great man, even
tually came to a long meeting with
Sullivan and proved that the Boston
Strong ,Boy was not unbeatable. His
battle came just before Sullivan met
Jake Kilrain in their historic seventy
five round mill in the south.
It was on July 17, 1882, that Sullivan
and Wilson met in Madison Square
Garden. Arthur Chambers of Phila
delphia took charge of Wilson when
he came here from Europe and made
a match for the Englishman with Sul
livan. The American champion agreed
to stop Wilson within four rounds or
forfeit $1,000 and lost the decision.
This match was one of the most
interesting ever made in America. All
over the country fight fans stood
breathless waiting for the end of the
four-round go. As a matter of fact, it
was one of the most foolish matches
ever made, for Sullivan was hog-tat
and practically refused to do any train
ing at all. He was so confident of his
| own ability that he viewed challengers
J with absolute disdain.
Wilson trained faithfully and was in
excellent condition when he stepped
into the ring for the match.
The visiting pugilist gave little of
his time to actually fighting his cave
man antagonist. On the contrary he
devoted his efforts entirely to avoid
ing Sullivan’s blows or taking them in
such a manner that he would not be
beaten unconscious. In the first round
he was either knocked down or thrown
to the floor by Sullivan eleven times
Several times he deliberately hit the
floor and stayed there for the allotted
ten seconds in order to gain time and
rest. He did, however, succeed it.
sending home some blows of his own
to Sullivan’s stomach and the cham
pion was in acute distress. His stom
ach was so weak from the effects of
the drinks he' had poured into ft that
it couldn't stand Wilson’s hammering
In the second round Wilson hit the
floor eight times, and the procedure
was constant during the remainder ol
the fight. The conditions of the con
test, however, were unchangeable, and
Sullivan, conqueror of Paddy Ryan,
had to listen to the referee declare
Wilson the winner. As a matter ot
fact, Wilson was actually the freshet
of the two, for Sullivan was decidedly
a sick man when he reached his dress
ing room.

I HERMIT OF THE SHIS
Ml) HUE LOST LIFE
VISALIA, Cal., March 18.—Hope
that W. O. (Bill) Clough, hermit min
er of the Sierras, who for a quarter
of a century has spent an average of
nine months each year In the highest
j Sierras east of this city, would be
found alive has been abandoned. It
Is generally believed among those fa
miliar with these high altitudes that
the aged man has perished in the
snows or met M*th an accident which
‘ has ended his dream of 25 years that
he would some day relocate his “losl
i mine.”
' Clough, well past 70 years of age
| went into the hills early last spring
> as was his .annual custom after i
> couple of months in the valley, to re
* new his search. During the sumrne
| months he worked steadily sinking hi:
} small “hope shaft” deeper into one o
> the big veins that are numerous ii
| the Mineral King region which lie:
I under the shadov* almost, of Mt. Whit
» ney. Late in the fall when tourist
* left Mineral King, he sent out wort
| that he would come to the lowland
) the first of December as usual. Ni
wora nas come tnrougn turn or ot
him since that time.
Each winter before coming out,
Clough undertook the duty of closing
the headgates on Monarch, Elizabeth
and Lady Franklin lakes which feed the
Mt. Whitney Power & Electric Com
pany’s big hydro-electric ditch lines
Mt. Whitney employes discovered that
one of these headgates had been
closed but the others apparently are
still open and it is believed the agec
hermit perished in attempting to make
the two day trip around the lakes.
