scratch. Now, take two trained pngil-
lists like Myer and cAuliffe-trained
to strike heavy, knock ut-blOws-and
after nearly five hours of fighting %
neither is hurt. 1t makes me tired.
Now, they are talking about having an
other fight. Well, the suckers will
bite again. If Myer and McAuliffe want
to fight to a finish, | can name 100 men
not those alleged sporting men, but
business men-who admire the manly
art and who will put up 500 each for a
private battle"
M'AULIFFE DISGUsTED.
When asked how he felt since the
mill, McAuliffe said to a Milwaukee re-
porter: ''What should | be tired about?
Fight? Why that was no fight. That
was play to me. Fight? no" could |
fight when the other man would not
fight. l couldn't get at him at all. He
wouldn't lead and he wouldn't do any,
thing. l went there expecting to fight
and [ was going to do the work of my
life, but when saw the way the thing
was gong it made me sick-it
broke my heart. Fm in the business to
make a living, and had everything at
stake, reputation, money and all. 1t
was my place to win, and ! was dead
set on winning, but how could l win
against man who devoted ali his time
and energy to keeping out of the way.
Why didn't / lead at him? Well. didn't
] lead at him? l did nothing b 1t lead.
1t was lead. lead, lead all tne time.
Even then he wouldn't come
at me. But l guess he was
right. He was playing for
draw. He wasn't going to
take any chances in trying to win. Oh,
no, he Fought for his hackers and was
watching out for their money. Then
draw was big thing for him, don't you
know. Pve got nothing TO say against
him. He's gentleman. But he's got
the funniest motion on him in the ring
of any man l ever saw. He's quick and
active On his feet, but he is an awkward
fighter.
WORKING A CONTORTIoNIST.
HE is naturally d strong fellow and
can hit hard lick, Dut he never learned
anything. He's been living down there
in Sueator all his life, you know, and
they are funny in those little country
towns. / wouldn't give one year in
New York for ten in StreatOr. l never
saw a cOntortionist who could Wriggle
his body around like Myer did when he
was getting out OF the way; oh, it was
funny? When he stood up to guard he
looked like a man who was getting
ready to throw base ball. He would
bend way back, and you couldn't
reach his face with billiard cue. And
never saw man work his left arm
like he aid. Why, he stood up there
and kept that left arm going all the
time, up and down. up and down for
four hours; seems to me he would have
gotten tired. I'd 90 at him, and he'd
throw his he d back and keep that left
hand shaking around there, and l got
tired of hitting his hand and arm. You
know tnat sort Of thing would have
knocked my hand all to pieces. | told
him if he'd stand and fight me
for four rounds, I'd give him
1000. | said: Come on now. Billy,
and stand up with me- He just Winked
and said: oh. no; you will chop me if l
do ! could have rushed in on him
often, but man who knows how to
fight doesn't do that sort of thing. AS
soon as man makes a rush he loses
his guard, and that's the time he gets
knocked out. Myer was waiting for
something of that sort. and even though
| gave it to him once or twice he
wouldn't take advantage OF it.
STRONG IN THE RIGHT.
"They were all talking about what he
was going to do with his right They
said he'd kill me with his right But
they wasn't thinking about my right.
never did anything with my right, did
l? Well, if | had got chance to throw
it up against him that time he would
have thought | could do something with
it. | thought I'd eaten him by playing
on his wind, so l went to jabbing him
in the belly; but even then he wouldn't
come up and give me chance at his
face. When he tied himself up and
went to lodging around, all could see
was the top of his head; and | can't hit
a man on top of his head, it would
knock my hands all to pieces.
WHAT BROKE JACKS HEART.
"Yes; it was pretty rare old fight.
1t broke my heart. never had fight
before that l didn't go right out and
telegraph to my mother: Mother, /
win.' This time just telegraphed her:
Game out without scratch Mother
doesn't like me to fight. but | like to be
able to tell her | win when / do fight:
"Yes, we will have to fight again.
when we DO fight somebody has got to get
whipped. Nothing has been said yet,
but there will be challenge. This
time Myer will have to go East. The
champion fighter always has the privi-
lege of naming the place to fight. So
far L have never claimed that privi-
lege, and have always gone away
from home to meet my men. l came
West this time to accommodate Myer
and when he fights me again he will
have to go within $50 miles of New
York. 1t amt right to bring my friends
away out here and put them to the in
convenience they put up with this time.
Down there in Indiana they were up all
day and night without anything to eat
or any place to sleep. 1t amt right, or
if Myer wants to go to California I'll go
there with him. But we have got to
fight again sure"
Alf Kennedy, the hacker of Myer,
said to-day that he would insist upon
another fight between Myer and Nc
Auliffe and that he had telegraphed
Decker at st. Louis, who is backing
McAullffe, to come to Chicago to ar
range the details of another match.
"Our money is still up," said Kennedy,
sand we do not intend to take it down
until Myer wins battle from Nc
Auliffe."
