CHAPTER XXI
Kilrain had been persistently chal
lenging Sullivan for some time before
the champion finally consented to
meet him, and the match had worked
the country into a fever. Consequently
it was a crowd of no mean proportions
that clamored from the train and piled
onto the turf at Richburg to witness
the bout.
It was just 10 a. m. when the fight
ers approached a twenty-foot ring
pitched on the turf. They threw hats
Into the ring and followed them
shortly after. Charley Mitchell, Sul
livan’s Nemesis, was among those it
Kilrain’s corner. He had trained tha
challenger for the bout. Sullivan’s
advisers included Billy Muldoon, fam
ous trainer; Tom Costello and Ba
Masterson were time-keepers. Capt
John Fitzgerald was selected refere<
after considerable argument.
Sullivan’s luck, always bad when i
came to the choice of a position fo
fighting, held to tradition, for Kil
rain won the toss and chose the cor
ner which placed his back to the sun
Sullivan was forced to approach th
stratch with the sun in his eyes. Th
day was suffocatingly hot and the fac
that Kilrain had won the right t
fight with his back to the sun was n
small advantage. The day was clour
I less.
When Sullivan stripped for the con
: bat there was a murmur of admiratio
! j in the crowd, for the men there kne1
: what Sullivan had been doing, an
| how he had been living. Followin
j the battle with Mitchell, when he wa
! fat and Blow, he had been drinkin
{ lots and eating unwisely. Now, hov
1 ever, he stripped to about 205 pound
i and appeared to be in excellent cond
i \ tion. The crowd cheered when it wa
?: noticed the champion had been ah!
| to get into condition and bettir
- swung sharply in Sullivan’s favo
Sullivan replied to the cheers with
*Tin and then his face immediate
J took on the ferocious expression he
j always assumed when about to begin
a fight.
There was no delay as time was
called. The men both dashed to the
scratch and started to fight. Kilrain
tried to lead as Sullivan came up, but
missed, and then the fighters glared
at each other for a moment. In an
instant, however, Kilrain ducked un
der Sullivan's guard, he grasped him
around the waist, swung him clean
from the ground and threw him heav
ily, the first round coming to an end
after fifteen seconds of action. Sulli
van was surprised and the men in his
corner were astounded at such tac
tics. Backers of the challenger were
greatly encouraged.
Sullivan rammed home a swishinj
left to the ribs as Kilrain advancer
, for the second round, and followed
after the retreating Kilrain as the lat
. ter attempted to retreat from a hur
. ricane of sledge-like blows. He finallj
clinched, and after tearing about thi
ring for a brief time, locked in eacl
other's grasp, both men finally wen
}! down, with Sullivan uppermost. Thi
3 Sullivan corner expressed its appre
t ciation by cheers and the Sullivan fol
3 lowers again took heart.

PRESENT CUBAN FLAG
WHICH WILL BE HISTORIC .
HAVANA, March 27.—Adolfo Tro
and Antonio Lopez Rubio, the first two
Cuban soldiers to go “over the top’’
in France, are on their way to rejoin
their comrades of the Foreign Le
gion from an Atlantic port, after hav
ing brought, as a gift to President
Menocal, on their furlough here, a tat
tered Cuban flag, which was raised in
“No-Man’s Land” last April 7, when
Cuba declared war on Germany.
While the measures which the
Cuban government contemplates tak
ing to send an active fighting force
to the French front are not completed,
many Cubans, like these two heroes,
I have volunteered in the French For
eign Legion. Rubio and Tro left Hav
i ana September 23, 1914, to enlist in
the French army as volunteers. They
j were accompanied by eight other
Cubans, and all were incorporated in
the infantry of the Morocco division
■ of the French army.
I The shrapnel-torn Cuban flag, which
' is a prized souvenir of General Meno
! cal, was hoisted by Tro and Rubio
! with two other Cubans, privates Cir
1 cuelo, and Cresco, who were attached
■ to the same division. The French
l military telephone had just brought to
; the sector where the Cubans were sta
> tioned the news of Cuba s declaration
*1 of war against Germany, and the flag
■' was hoisted on a small parapet amid
; the cheers of the French soldiers. Its
appearance was saluted by the Ger
mans with a shower of shrapnel which
killed Circuelo and Crespo. Their
» companions regained the flag, and Ru-I
bio and Tro were commissioned to
bring it back and hand it to General
Menocal.
