JUNE 29. 1951
Before attempting to describe me famous Sullivan-Corbett bat- IIP, I wish to relate a Jolm L. in- imate anecdote as related to the writer by the famous silver tong- ued Jesuit priest, who was a re- nowned orator in all states east of the Miuisslppl. He was none qthqr than our own Rev. Ronald R, Meodonald, born in Bedsque. who has many relatives living here and in other parts of Can- adaland the U. S. at the present . By .
"The Boston people, regardless of "reed. breed or generation. idol- .v.cd the popular hero John L. It ML: rather a curious pnradox-- Boston the centre (at that time) ni culture, education and refine- ment-the "Athens of America"- ... pay such homage to the prin- lips! of what was l.hen considered an abyssmal and barbarous occu- pation. but it appears that the primordial urge to regard physical urengih as paramount is stronii ill the soul and fibre of all mmans. On the "spur of the moment” the great fighter. or ball pnyer. or hockey player is more .,npuIIll' than the great theologian. inventor or explorer.
. . .
John's Boston friends wanted to honor him in some unique and moctacular manner. It was the .nmmon concciisus that it diam- nnd studded belt would be the most appropriate souvenir. James Jeffrey Roach, who was a native imrncharlottetoniamwho had be- ,...me editor of the Boston Pilot, mid one of the most prominent men in Boston, was selected to make the presentation. The cer- .mnnies were to take place at the Globe Theatre. On the morninz of the night of the presentation Mr Roach received word that

John L. was "rurnhausen" in a certain saloon on Tremont. Mr. Roach than and there washed his hands clear of any further con- gection with the whole transac- on.
Out of curiosity Mr. Roach was near the theatre entrance at the Bppointed time to watch develop. ments. curious to see how a pre. sentation could be made to one in John's reported condition. He was amazed at the number of covered C31'1'188es (before the auto), un- loading Boston's elite, with a pre- ponderance of heavily veiled we. "19".

He ended the short ad- dress with thc words "And my dear friends, ladies and gentle- men if there is any one thing that I am more careful about, it is to always be decent and respectable
in company." Mr. Roach hadn't reckoned with the ability of the ”miracle

time. The famous "belt" was valued at ten thousand dollars. It was Sulllvanls own prdperty.
There was a mistaken idea that the belt went with the heavy- weight championship. but that was a quite natural mistake.
