WINNING BACK THE EAGLE
Twenty-eight years ago the ad
mirers of John L. Sullivan's fistic
prowess preseu'ed him with a costly
specimen of the goldsmith's and
jeweler's skill as an emblem of his
supremacy over all other pugilists.
Cut Sullivan had been fighting an
opponent not of the flesh, though
many truly believe it is oi tho de
vil.
Though his "streugth was us of
th^ 3tr«'iisth of ten," Sullivan could
n't beat Jchn Barleycorn until be
changfd wholly his plan of battle.
No man can. For years Johu the
n'au fought Johu tho spirit in the
old jvav. and weakened iu every
round, until at U-st he was beaten
by opponents of flesh and blood
also. And in ths> succession of de
feats that followed even the cher
ished i-mblem of gold and jewels
went in piodgo and John L. Sulli
van was like a French regiment of
the days of Napoleon's glory which
had lost its "eagls."
Then John the man changed his
plan of battle witli Johu the spirit
It took years of hard work to win
back the fortuuo so lavishly squan
dered. But because man if he will
may overcome an evil spirit, John
the man had the satisfaction the
other day of buying back in Chicago
that belt of gold and diamonds and
was liKe a French regiment of the
days of Napoleon's glory which had
won back Its "eagle" from the foo.
There is little reason to fear now
that John L. Sullivan's victory over
John Barleycorn will not be main
tained as long as life endures. And
what au encouragement his victory
must be to other fighters against
that foe! They can win, no mat
