NO TWO MEN FIGHT ALIKE.
EVERY GREAT PUGILIST HAS HIS OWN
PARTICULAR STYLE.

Every great sparrer has his own individual
style. Many people think that because Billy
Myer apparently breaks all set rules OF box
ing his standing off of Jnck McAuliffe
during sixty-four rounds was rather due to
good luck than to extraordinary boxing skill.
Myer says that he learned all the boxing he
knows himself. He never had q teacher.
He also snys that he has seen only two prize
fights besides those in which he figured as a
principal.
II fight to get there" he said to the
writer. II may not know much about fancy
s%parring or how to look pretty on the stage,
but l watch my chance and then hit. don't
know what other people may call my way of
boxing, but II has always served me. / call
it the get-the' e-style." N fact. there are
no two great fighters who fight alike. John
L.. SullIvan's style is very different from
Kilrain's. Jack Dempsey'S and Jack Nc
Aulltfe's body positions are somewhat SINH
lar, but they hold their arms differently.
Great pugili ts are born, not made. whichiS
why no two happen to hold themselves alike

When big Joe McAuliffe was defeated at
the California Athletic Club by Peter Jack
son he was SO discouraged that he finally
announced he would bid farewell to the
ring. The comparative ease, however. with
which he defeated Tom Lees has served 10
raise his spirits, and the Golden Gate Athletic
Club will, it is said, offer a 80, 500 purse for a
fight between Pat Killen and McAuliffe, to
take place some time in July.
This McAulife-K illen match will afford a
criterion of Peter Jackson's ability. The
colored Australian beat McAuliffe very easily.
Now, should McAuliffe, chance to defeat Kill
len, 1t would send the ebon-hued mans stock
ADJOINING, for Killen is acknowledged to be
n formidable opponent.
The harbor of New London Is now en-
livened by the many college boat crews which
are gathered there for the annual racing fes-
tival. The four-mile slraightaway race be-
tween Harvard and Yale is fixed for june %.
The Harvard. Columbia Freshman race, two
miles. is set for June q. The Columbia Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Cornell race will
occur June 81. On June % the Pennsylvania
Varsity row Yale. These dates are too near
together TO allow the Pennsylvania boys
sufficient time to rest between races. They
are apt to be tagged when they go into the
three-cornered race ON the 9th. But they
may not over-exert themselves in the race
with Yale. for they prefer to win over Cor
neil and Columbia than to give the Yale boys
a hard pull, for it is not thought possible they
could have any chance of defeating Yale.
The information that comes from George
Watson, who designed the Valkyrie, would
seem to indicate that Lord Dunrayen does
not think the Valkyrie feet enough to COM
pete for the cup. The letter received by the
gentleman seems to make 1t appear that the
Goelet and Paine special cups are more in
Dunravan's thoughts than the symbol repre-
senting the yachting supremacy.ot the world.
But this report must be taken with the pro-
verbal grain of salt. Matters have pro-
crossed almost too far for Lord Dunraven to
back out gracefully.
The Secretary of the Southern California
Athletic Club has written to the Police Gazette
that, inasmuch as Jack Dempsey did not ao-
cept Joe Elllngsworth's challenge. Filings
worth will o claim the middle weight
championship.
BY the express desire of MIR. Richard X.
Fox, Jake Kilrain will spar. with Charley
Mitchell tonight at the big benefit for the
food sufferers.
In a letter to Frank Slevin. regarding the
Pedestrian John Hughes writes; THE
nine-day race is the kind | like. l woman
eight-day race in Cincinnati in 1880, / Gov
cred $40 miles in 100 hours. expect to do
stln Detter IN the race at the oea oeacn
Palace"
As was generally anticipated, Champion j.
s. Mitchell broke the record yesterday at
Bergen Point with the %16-pound hammer,
throwing 1872 feet Q inches. The surprise of
the day was G. Ii. Sherrills defeat by j.. p.
Lee In the 900 yards. The seemingly slow
time made in the 100 yards-10 50 seconds
was in reality very good, considering the bad
condil ion of the track. p. D.. Skillman, of
the New York Athletic Club, won the three
mile run in Ism. IL 2-5s., breaking the record.
This was o fine performance in Wow OF the
heavy running.
