Ryan had been an idol among llstle devo­tees for years. He was thought to have a good deal more science than Sullivan".

Onoof tho greates t de­l ights of « real prizefight comes in the ef­forts, which a lmost always used to be suc­cessful, by the fighters and their friends to eludo the authori t ies . If you 've ever rend Cohan Doyle's 'Rodney Stone, ' you know-how they used to havo to dodge tho Eng­lish sheriffs in tho old days. The annals of all old t ime prizefighting are full of such episodes, bu t no th ing llko i t ever takes place any moro either in Eng land or here. Q'he prizefighters of today nnd their backers aro ou t for the cash mostly, and the way t o ge t money is to box wi th gloves, not to fight wi th uncovered fists.

" N o one desirous of lH-ing in a t tendance except the fighters themselves went to bed nt all the n igh t before tho fight.
