Detroit, Mich., Dec. 18.- Poor, unfortunate John L. Sullivan, once the idol of the American sporting world, champion heavyweight pugilist for twelve years, who made a million dollars and spent every cent, was arrested late yesterday afternoon in the cafe of the Russell house and lugged to the police station like an ordinary drunken tramp. Sullivan has been doing a monologue stunt at the Avenue Vaudeville theater, but yesterday the management found it necessary to fire him owing to his debauched condition.
