Cf jrvm ask "Spike!" Sullivan where
tsabrofce into the fighting business, he
, vd tetf you at Klnsale,. Ireland. . If
,. yon tusk, him the name of the first man
be ever fought, he will tell you Dan
Kelly. If you ask him how long the
fight lasted, be will tell yon nine
rounds. , If yon ask him -. what, dub
pulled ff the fight, yon are in danger
of getting a fanny punch In the chops.'
,' Tbere Is a story connected with Sulll
nn'i first fight. ',.
. ,. "Spike" was about 15 years old when
' beot bis Initial try out. It was with
v bare knuckles, In front of an old tav
arq, at Klnsale. One day Spike's" fa
ttier told him to take the family horse
flown to the tavern for water. t'Spike
';. lumped on the nag's neck and gave the
; beast a few jolts in the flanks with his
brogBns, and away he went down the
" road. On the way down e- neighbor's
- toot, with whom "Spike" was not on
friendly terms, brushed by the steed
: tbat "Pplke" was steering and made
sume remark about Sullivan's mount
being tod lazy to trot his way to the
; water. 'Spike" at once made a propo-
1 eltioo for, a race, and it was accepted.
, ' The race was run, and it seems the re-
.tnark about "Spike's" horse being lazy
, carried a good deal of truth with it
Sullivan's steed was beaten off, and
when "Spike" arrived at the trough the
neighbor's boy gave him the joyous
giggle. ',
.So ye bate me," said "Spike." "So
I fljd that,'! replied the neighbor's boy.
Well, thin, ye niver saw the. day ye
could bate me with these," exclaimed
Spike," exhlbiting-his mauleys proud
ly. "Be gob, I'm not the one that
won't try y-A
With this remark the neighbor's boy
lamped on "Spike" and knocked him
doirn. "Spike" was up In a hurry and
oon put his man out That was Dan
Kelly, who at the present day beads
."Spike" Sullivan's very creditable rec
ard. y-c-S'::-i':-
"How many rounds did you fight Dan
Kelly at Klnsale?" asked a friend of
Sullivan, after he had heard about
, Spike's" start In . the fistic game.
Nine rounds," replied VSplke," "Nine
rounds !" his friend asked In astonish
' ment "How in the world did you ever
count the rounds in a fight like that
with no referee, seconds or timers V
"Too see, It was this way," "Spike"
started off. : "I figured It out that I
knocked Kelly down nine times. tNine
times, you see, at that time meant nine
rounds." "How do you explain thatf"
hdS friend Inquired. "Why, that's, easy.
(We- fought under London prize ring
rules.'' Nine :. knockdowns was nine
rounds to be sure, and J. had no trouble
In counting the knockdowns. Ah, It
x was a great foight IH niver forgit if

Chulrman A. G. Batchelder of the
national Cycling association board of
control, has determined that there will
be no conflict in, the matter of dates
bttween the big cycV tracks this year
This sort of bickering between the
promoters haa been found detrimental
V mmnr anA it lino Iwvn tltlxWMHl.
Batchekler informed the managers f
the Waltham and Charles River tracks,
which are quite near together, that It
would be well for them to divide this
year's holiday dates and hot fall to
fLirhtiiur over tbem. end they concluded
to aocopt his suggestion. .
It Is probable that Jay EatOU and
, , , .
Archie McEachcrn. the cycle., racers,
wlll be matched soon for a serica of
race at the Vallsburg track. Newark,
W. I early this season. Those matches
will. Include both sprints, and paced dis

H doubt the shark's mouth Is placed
touch beneath the projecting muz
(fle, under which also the nostrils He,
that It may serve its proper purpose In
the best way. In all records of the
babhs of the fish we are told that it
can and doesblte out large chunks of
flesh from the dead bodies of whales
and eren from living victims of Its at
tacks, and It Is easily seen that If its
month was like that of other fishes the
necessary leverage would be lacking.
A farther reason seems to be that the
shark by this peculiar position of Its
mouth is compelled to turn upon "Its
back to strike and Is thus able to de
liver its onset from below with more
deadly effect ' ,
vThis formidable strength of jaw Is
backed up by a most terrible array of
teeth, of which in some species there
are as many as six rows all around.
Each tooth is saw edged and pointed,
and some of the largest are as much as
two inches In breadth at the- bae.
These lie flat against the jaws and can
be raised by separate muscles at will,
so that as the Bbark darts upon its
prey, they spring oa end. as a cat's
claws are stuck out from : Its paws.
