Elliott agreed to box Sullivan four rouuds for $500." Elliott to receive the money provided he was not knocked out. The exhibition was to take place in Chicago. Elliott sprained a ligament in his right hand in his contest with Dalton, and sent word to Sullivan's manager, Jere Dunne, asking for two weeks more time. This was granted, and Dec. 22 was the day chosen for the meeting. Sullivan wer.t on- from New Tork, and the betting was $100 to $50 on his success. On Dec. 19, Charles E. Davis, Elliott's backer, told Dunne that Elliott in bis running exercise on the Sunday before had fallen, injuring the small of his back and incurrinit a partial paralysis of his left side. Dunne found this to be true, but it was kept a secret in the hope that Elliott would recover. Police interference, Duuue says, had nothing whatever to do with breaking up the match. Afterward Sullivan himself went to see Elliott at 119 Randolph street They found him in his bedroom, undoubtedly a very sick man. and Sullivan shook hands with him and cheered him up as best he could. It is not likely that they will ever meet in the prize ring.
