the well-knOwn pugiiist OF Chicago, stepped
over the rope TO begin their fight to a finish for
81 1000 side and purse OF Sl,1J0 offered by
the California athletic club. After the usual
preliminaries time was called. the men spared
cautiously for full minute, when McAulife
led out strongly with his right. hitting Glover
on the neck and sending him down amid the
applause OF the spectators. He was on bis feet
in an instant, when the men ciinched, but
broke away. Several other clinches followed
in quick succession when the round closed.
During the first eight rounds there was little
advantage gained by either man. Glover got
in a hard one with his left on McAuliiie's face

striking out with his left and landing az the
side Of Glovers right eye, making cut from
which a light stream OF blood began 10 nOw.

done in the next three rounds. McAulde
struck Glover on the right eye, causing that
member 10 swell very rapidly. Glover forced
the fighting in the fourteenth and got in two
hard ones, one on the nose and the other in the
stomach In the sixteenth Glover went down
under a blow on the neck, and la the next
round McAuliiie fell under push. Glover
appeared TO gain advantage at every clInch.

The rwenty-third proved TO be the most
spirited round. McAulife pressed his antOgO-
MIST into the corner and against the ropes, and
in the meantime pounded him severely. Glover
took the punishment well but was not able TO
return the blows. The next few rounds ap-
peared to be generally in Glovers favor. He
forced McAuliiie hard, but the latter punished
him several times, principally on the injured
eve which soon closed entirely. GiOver's face
was swollen terribly, while the only marks 70
be seen on McAulifle were a slight abrasion on
