It wai 1 good fight but I think-r could have put Sullivan out sooner
if; It hadn't been for the way he kept appealing to the referee In the ear
lier rounds, claiming a foul. After that I made up my mind that I had
to put him but with a blow to the Jaw, 'otherwise- there was a probability
that I would be disqualified for fotillbg. : i did not . hit Sullivan low 'at
any time intentionally. He made me mad during the middle of the fight
and I didn't care whether it was a punfh tothe head or the -stomach that
would put, him out and I.-told iny'seconfls' that Cl-'Wuld', get away with
him before the twenty-first round was-oTer.1,! Vaw Jhe' opportunity and
took it. Sullivan gave me a .tough fight and he' Is a hard fighter. I
do not know whethej' L wlirtake 'oa Pap ke, right aWay. or rest a while.
All arrangements of that nature aje 'in the hands of my manager.
I am not a'juitter and dont want; to be considered such, I think
that my fight today proves that 4m;'.not. The crowd occasionally called
rae to get up andfightJ when I -was knocked'ddwn'but Ketchel's punches
to the stomach "really k hurt me. After the first two 'or three rounds he
had about taken-alt-the fight out of me. I think I fought him back and
proved that I was game., I thought ! could finally get Ketchel by wear
lag him down, but I was always .afraid 'ot.that body, punch and he fin
ally got me. He is a strong-fellowr 0 '-.

That is all nonsense.,V'It -wasiaa. talr,a,blow, as was ever struck and was
well above the belt. Sullivan fought the best -he knew how, but to me
it was only a-question'df tlae-before Ketchel finally put him down. The,

it could be seen that Ketcbel wes the

Pretty soon' "Ketchel straightened up

And this was the style of fighting hf
put up from first to last. Sullivan's
defense was really marvelous and there
were several rounds In which Ketchel
must have missed vfour out of every
five punches that he attempted.
His best effort In the clinch fighting
was a left rip lor tne siomacn ana nu

even. Until very near the end of the
contest he did not catch Sullivan a

Whenever Ketchel twisted. his right

rlsrht for the 'heart Jack's left elbow
dropped to the guard position as natur
ally as possible and Intercepted Stan
ley's beat meant punches. As the fight
went on It seemed to dawn upon the
crowd that if Sullivan was to- be
whipped Jt must be with one of the ter
rifio rips that the Michigan man kept
sending bodyward. The left and right
swincs which - Ketchel landed on Joe
Thomas' head -' were - harmless assaults
so far as Bulllvan was concerned. Aa a
rule he blocked these high swings and

Just once did Ketchel falter. That

who seemed to put all his strength iato
the effort, clipped him with rights and
lefts and the - Michigan boy's head
jerked from side to side. He was com
fused for a few seconds, but he soon
struck his gait a gain and - kept up ' the
forcing tactics he had employed from
the beginning. The proof that Sulli
van's punch was not to be feared was
found in the Seventeenth round. ,
Jack waited for Ketchel's lead. ' It
was a straight right for the head and
as Ketchel's fist snot out Jack smashed
his own right against the Michigan
man's mouth. By the manner In which
Sullivan's shoulder twitched,- It could
be told that he had put all his strength
Into the blow, but the effects so far as
punishment waa concerned was literally
nothing. In the eighteenth round
Ketchel slowed up a bit and the Twin
seemed to freshen. There was a bus-
Slclon at all- times for that matter that
ulUvan.was sftnply feigning weakness

way his defense became Impaired to
