Ef! -XTTT. This whs period of real depression for the champion. He v. a1 fighting the black bottle bard and often, ai.d a was gl i:ig him a finer licking than he ever had handed out to one of h:s opponents Jt hd mado him totally unfit to meet I'harley Mitchell, and it was pursuing hbn w ith still more deadly vigor. Sullivan had the

part, on his

ri.i mane. I.Bflin was terribly rattled, but his peconds were worse. They were paralyze I with anticipation and shouted madly at Fanin lo work on Sullivan's middle. He could not hear tho clamor of voices, and soon his opportunity had passed. If he had been able to hear and had calmd down enough to rcalite his own mistake, ho would have become, that night, the' champion of America, with the assistance of John Karleycorn. As it was .Sullivan was given the decision after the scheduled four rounds of milling, for he had landed the greater number of effective blows. Richard Fox was still hunting for somo one who would be able to remove the crown of champio'nship from the brow of the husky new chawpion. and he hit. this time on A!f. Greenfield, another Englishman. Advance notices bailed hirn as tho peer of Charley Mitchell and Jem Mace. He wns considerably smaller than Sullivan, but was a very shifty boxer. His blows, however, as is the case vvilh most fa;t boxers. wer light and ineffectual. Sullivan agreed to meet him, and 'he date for the bout was set as Nov. IS. ISM. only a short time after Sullivan's disappointing meeting with I.nflin. Th" 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 iefud. however, to take -counsel, and did his bst to get in some kind of condition.
