SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-The fight
between Joe McAuliffe, the heavyweight
champion of the Pacific coast, and
Frank Glover, of Chicago, which took
place at the rooms of the California
Athletic club tonight, had been
anXiously waited for by local sporting
men. Owing to the fact that
the contest was held under the
auspices of private club, some of
the details of the meeting had not
been generally circulated. Each of the
principals put up $1,000, which, with
the purse of s1,750 offered by the club,
made prize of $3.50. No spectators
were present except the members of the
club, but the membership had increased
rapidly within the last few days in
anticipation of a fight, and the rooms
tonight were crowded. No police
were present at the match. Bets
during the past few days had been
even, and it was not believed that very
great amount of money had been placed
on the match. When the men appeared
in the ring late in the evening both
were in excellent condition, but
the noticeable feature was the great
difference in size. Glover weighs It's
pounds, while the Pacific coast cham
piOn carried more than 200. MeAuliffe
was dressed in white tights and Glover
in blue. Hiram Cook acted as referee.
Barney Farley and Tom Cleary were
McAuliffe's seconds, and Billy Delaney
and Jim Carr filled similar Office for
Glover.
Before the principals appeared in the
ring the betting had been spirited and
slightly in Gloyer's favor. When the
two men stepped over the ropes they
were greeted with a storm of APP
plause from nine hundred or
thousand persons present. They
sat in their corners a few minutes
putting OH their 0ne-ounce gloves, and
attending other preliminaries, and al
the call of the referee stepped quickly
to the center of the ring and performed
the usual hand-Shake.
TIME WAS CALLED
Immediately, and the men spared eau
tiously for FULLY minute, when McAu-
life led out strongly with the right, hit
ting Glover ON the neck and sending
him down amid the applause of the
spectators. He was on his feet in
stantly, when the men clinched but
broke away. Several other clinches
followed in quick succession, when the
round closed.
In the second round McAuliffe reached
for Glover, but missed him. Glover got
in with his left on McAuliffe's neck. In
the third Glover did most of the work
was cleyerly stopped. McAuliffe's led
for Glover's head, falling short. The
men clinched. Glover landed on his
side. Both men opened cautiously in
the fourth round, Glover making
frequent feints with his left. McAu-
life got in several light blows on the
head and chest. McAuliffe got in a
light blow on Glover's head in the
fifth. The latter caught him with a
hard left handler in the face, throwing
him back. McAuliffe returned with
blow on the body and Glover
again got in on his face. In the
sixth round McAuliffe's nose began
to swell; Glover was decidedly cool. a
latter's head and time was called for
round seven. McAuliffe made vicious
reach for Glover's neck, but the latter
dived under. The former then touched
him lightly on the cheek, which
caused the Chicago man to laugh. In
the eighth Glover tried for McAuliffe's
head. but was stopped by the latter's
left. The men clinched. Glover
lodged a lunge for his head and
got in hard one ON McAuliffe's head.
The fighting then continued for forty
four rounds, both men doing some good,
steady fighting, and both taking their
punishment in good form. At
the end of the fOrty-fourth Nc
Auliffe showed considerable weakness,
but Glover had bunch over his left
eye as large as a mans fist. Glov-
er appeared then in the best condition.

or three rounds Glover was knocked
out in the forty-ninth round. Time of
fight, three hours and fifteen minutes.
