THE BIG FIGHT.
A Sports Opinion Of McAuliffe
and Slavin.
B7xing Tournament Of the 0lympics-A Bid
Will Be Made by the California Club
for Fitzsimm: ms and Dempsey.

Speaking Of the coming battle between
McAuliffe and Slayin, which in all proba-
biIity will take place next Monday evening,
an old Australian SPORT who has seen both
fight, said yesterday:
II think McAuliffe, allowing for i'm
provements lie has made since he got whip
ped by jackson, ought to win this coming
match. Joe can hit hard, and if Slavin
rushes at him, which he is almost sure to
do, the Californian may down him in the
first round.
"Slavin. although probably not as clever
as Sullivan, is just as logged and persistent
as the champion of the whites. He is much
quicker than McAuliffe on his feet and may
fool the BIZ fellow for a while. There is
one thing which the Californian must look
out for, otherwise he may get bunged up
right away. l refer to Mes style of hitting.
IF he swings, this man Slavin will be
sure to give him the hardest part of his
head, and with the force which the giant
puts into goods delivered, it would not at all
surprise me to hear of his fists caving in be-
fore many rounds OF fighting. McAuliffe's
only hope of defeating Slavin, who is a most
wicked in-fshter, is at long range.
IF Joe can keep Slavin from getting under
his guard, the fight will not last long At
short range l think Slavin will make a
monkey out of Joseph, unless the latter has
made great Improvement in in-fighting
since ne fought aud defeated Pat Killen.''
A PHENOMENAL SPLINTER.
An Eastern exchange says All accounts
from the West make the Detroit Athletic
Clubs young Splinter, Harry Jewett.
phenomenon. Cabanne, the st. Louis rum
ner. who competed against him at the West
eTn championship meeting, says he is an un-
calmly runner, without tile slightest idea of
how TO start, but whirwind when he gets
into his running. Cabanne further says it
is common rumor in the West that the boy
is troubled with heart disease and does not
train for his races for that reason. A runner
that does not train and still does 10 1-5 seconds
whenever called upon Is certainly wonder,
and athletes look 10 his appearance at
Washington with interest. Jewett holds
the record for the running hop-step-and-
jump, which is A feet 81 inches. At
meeting of the Record Committee of the
Amateur Athletic Union, held last week,
the record was allowed.

p1he first hearing of the "Malcolm Ford
case" was held few days ago at 40 William
street. New York. Ford was subjected 10 a
crosS-eXamination lasting two hours, and it
did not seem as If many of the questions
were pertinent to the subject. The most
damaging testimony was his acknowledge
ment of receiving money from the head of
the I'D Brooklyn A. A. Ford was notified
that at. the next meeting the evidence
against him would be submitted, and that he
would have chance TO rebut the same.
Billy Jordan says that he will wager his
saloon, and his title of Master of Ceremo-

Jack McAuliffe in thirty rounds. Billy Is

BY WAY OF COMMENT.
Commenting on the McAuliffe- Sla win fight
the sporting editor Of the New York World
says:
II Joe McAulife does not defeat Frank Slavin
the FAULT will hardly be left al Billy Madden's
door Billy has worked like major and has not
only got him down twenty POUNDS in weight but
has boxed with him until lie has made him very
clever with his dukes and very quick on bis
pins. Somehow or other l am under the i'm
preston that Slayln Is holding Joe too cheap.
No doubt Frank Is a goud man, but doubt If he
is as good as Peter jackson at that. He had
better get himself ready for desperate fight and
unless lie does he may change his cognomen from
Frank TO Dennis. SO mote ii be.
The California Club expects to witness in
the near future contest between Jack
Dempsey and Robert FitzSimmons, the
champion middle-weight Of Australia. Cap
tain Short says that he will also be an in
terested spectator and in the absence of the
Hon. Hiram Cook from his old stand as
referee of the fight he will take upon him
self the arduous task of deciding the mill free
of charge.
EXPECT TO BE AsToNIsHED.
