DUB IN RING REAL FIGHTER

British Middleweight, Knocked Out Often in Scraps, Is Showing Courage In Trenches. Jim Sullivan, the British middleweight, said to have been knocked out oftener than any other fighter in recent history, is now fighting in the trenches and showing plenty of courage. Sullivan fought many battles in this country and in England, and achieved the wondrous record of getting knocked out in each of his first seven engagements. \ x He kept right at IL and, after losr ing, it is said, 39 out of 44 contests, won the middleweight championship of England. Fired with ambition, he then tackled Billy Papke and George Carpentier. Against these stars he reverted to his usual form and was quickly knocked kicking. When War came Sullivan gayly marched to the front and has done gallant work in several battles.
