'{ A History of the Life of John L. Sullivan
f, (By H. C. Hamilton, United I'ress Stiff Correspondent) .*
jj£ (Copyright, ,1918, by United Press) £
CHAPTER XIII
This was a period of real depressioi
( for the champion. He was fighting th<
black bottle hard and often, and it wai
giving him a finer licking than h<
| ever had handed out to one of hh
j opponents, it had made him totallj
| unfit to meet Charley Mitchell, ant
it was pusuing him with still more
deadly vigor.
Sullivan had the bad judgment jusi
* at this time to get himself patched up
with "Prof.” John Laflin of New York,
a fine young boxer, but a man without
a great deal of gameness. Had the
last attribute been among the virtues
of Laflin he would have become chain
pion of America the night of Nov. 10,
1884.
In the first round of their bout in
Madison Square Garden Sullivan flung
himself around to such an extent and
used up his energy so much by beating
the air with his hands that he waist
almost out from exhaustion when the
second round began. He rushed his
opponent, however, and soon was on
the ropes, his arms hanging limply at
his sides, while Laflin stood and pound
ed at the Sullivan jaws. Sullivan was
clever enough to duck every time one
of the punches started and they fowled
for the most part, on his skull, where
they did no damage.
Laflin was terribly rattled', hut his
seconds were worse. They were par
alyzed with anticipation and shouted
madly at Laflin to work on Sullivan!**
middle. He could not hear the clamor
of voices, and soon his opportunity
had passed. If he had been able' tb
hear and had calmed down enough to
realize his own mistake, he would
have become, that night, the champion
of America, with the assistance of
John Barleycorn. As it was Sullivan
was given the decision after the sched;
uled four rounds of milling, for he
had landed the greater number of ef
fective blows.
Richard Fox was stilt tenting Dor
some one who would be able- to> re*
move the crown of championship from
the brow of the husky new champion,
and he hit this time on AW. (Jreen*
field, another Englishman. Advance
notices hailed him as tte peer of
Charley Mitchell and Jem Mace. He
was considerably smaller than- Snlli*
van, but was a very shifty boxer. His
blows, however, as is the case with
most fast boxers, were light and inef
fectual. Sullivan agreed to meet ham,
and the date for the bout was set as
Nov. 18, 1884, only a short time after
Sullivan’s disappointing meeting with
Laflin. The bout was scheduled for
four rounds and was to be in Madison
Square Garden. It really was a bad'
match for Sullivan, for he was out of
condition. He refused, however,, to
take counsel, and did his best to get
in some kind of condition.
CHAPTER XIV
A huge crowd was on hand when
i Greenfield and Sullivan entered the
building for their fight, for Greenfield
: had received practically the same en
; dorsements that had preceded Shi
j livan's meeting with Tug Wilson and
| Charley Mitchell. Sullivan, as usual
I was not fit while Greenfield had train

Greenfield was much smaller that

i as a small boxer than as a man box

1 America. He looked fit to put almos

I and he might have had some succesi
