son by Sam Fitzpatrick and Tom Meadows
Hiram Cooke refereed the fight. Jackson
stripped at 205 pounds, and MeAulifie al
225.
The men stepped into the ring at 91O,
McAuliffe in the lead. Both men were in
prime condition. McAullffe wore a band
of cloth around his right hand, which was
not entirely well from the injury received
some time ago.
Time was called at 9:23. McAulife led
of first after a few moments sparring,
and half-dozen blows were exchanged in
the round. No damage was DONE
Second round-Jackson started in to
rush matters, and got in some telling blows
on Macs jaw, and swinging right-hander
brought tue blood to McAuliffes left ear.
Considerable in-tighting against the ropes
took place
Third round-Jackson again tried to
rush matters, and was received by three or
four under-cuts from McAuliffes right.
which dampened his ardor somewhat.
McAuliffe had decidedly the best of it.
Fourth round-By clever ducking Jack
son missed a couple of vicious right-han
ers, and after some sparring Jackson led
with his right and caught his opponent on
the ear singing blow, and McAuliffe re-
turned the compliment with his left on
Jackson's Jaw.
Fifth round-Jackson led with his left
three times, each time reaching McAuliffe's s
neck, but not doing much damage. His
superior reach was shown In this round
McAuliffe got in a swinging right-hander
on Jackson's ear that would have dazed any
other man.
Sixth round-Jackson devoted attention
to his adversary's wind. but McAuliffe
managed to get out of his reach and no
damage was done.
Seventh round-As usual, Jackson backed
his man around the ring and did most of
the work, McAuliffe acting on the defens-
i've, except when crowded. McA uliffe
managed 10 land two vicious left t-handers
on Jackson's mouth. Betting by this time
was even, although prior TO the fight odds
of 500 to $50 were made on McAuliffe.
Eighth round-This was a repetition of
the second, Jackson forcing the fighting
from the start
Ninth round-This was decidedly in
Jacksons favor. He got in a couple of
good undercuts on McAuliffe's jaws and
forced him against the ropes. Both men
were breathing hard.
Tenth round-McAuliffe assumed the
aggressive and reached Jackson's right ear
with terrible right-hander, and soon re-
peated 1t, Jackson going TO the floor after
losing his feet
From the tenth to the fifteenth round
nothing but sparring was INDUCED in. In
this round Jackson hvened up matters BY
working on Macs ribs and winding him
badly. Time was called just in time to
save McAulitfe.
In the eighteenth round McAuliffe was
again badly winded, and in the nineteenth
Jackson got in some heavy work on his
ribs and neck. 1t now looked as though it
was the colored champions fight, he ap-
pearing fresh and not having received so
much punishment as his opponent. Nc
Abilities eyes began to close at this stage.
Nothing noteworthy occurred up to the
twenty-third round, when Jackson smashed
McAuliffe several times on the nose, caus-
ing that organ TO bleed profusely. 1t was
now evident that McAulitfe had met his
match and little more, and that he could
only last few more rounds.
In the succeeding round Jackson rained
blow after blow on McAuliffe's face and
ribs, and in the middle of the twenty
fourth round smashed right and left on his
neck. A we'll directed blow on the chin
did the business for McAulffe, and he
dropped on his launches in the opposite
corner and failed 10 respond to the call of
time. His mouth and nose was bleeding
freely, and he had a dazed appearance.
The winner was greeted with tremendous
applause, and the short-e enders were wild
with delight
