...that I took the title from Sullivan and I held it until '97 when Bob Fitzsimmons made the solar plexus famous with his blow that earned him the crown. It's queer but no one but doctors had ever heard of the solar plexus before that scrap, but ever since he floored me with that left of his it has become a catch word in boxing.

Ullman and Chauncey followed with hits, scoring Tobin, and after Chase, batting for Sullivan, had been hit by a pitched ball, and Barbee had allowed a third strike to slip past his bat, McCarthy, B.
