BLOOMINGTON. ILL., March 22.-Lee Cheney,
manager of Billy Myer. said that the result of
McAuliffe-Carroll fight last night convinced
him more and more of Myers ability to stop
MnAuliffe in short order should he succeed in
getting Jack to meet him again. Referring to
McAuliffes statement that he would not fight
for 81 500 side as he is challenged to do, but
that he would meet for $1,000 to So 900 a side,
Cheney said:
I'VE believe that McAuliffe is blufing again.
Myer has had from $500 to 81, $40 up ever since
the North-Judson fight, and we have been un-
able to get McAulitfe to cover dollar of it de-
spite all of his talk. Now We will raise the
figures just to accommodate him, and you may
say for me that we challenge him right now to
fight in Texas or at any point he may name for
$4,000 or any larger sum that he may name.
He can't get out of it by raising his figures.
can put up and give him the three pounds
offered in the previous challenge"

record as great one and as contest between
two verv clever and two very plucky men. My
readers need not be reminded of the fact that
on oe more my prediction has come true Or this
1 feel proud, of course, particularly as the
contest was such a terrific one. l also told
readers of THE DISPATCH that Carroll was
clever and game man, and that there ought
not to be two to one on McAuliffe. think this
opinion was also fully verified in the fight, for
if ever a man looked like beaten man Nc
Aulitfe did at one stage of the battle He won,
fight is one of the kind that does
not demand much comment 1t was
fought honestly from beginning to end,
and on frst-class principles. McAulife,
l think, never fought better in his life: certainly
his work was very great Improvement on his
performance with Myer. Had the latter been
in the ring Friday night in front of either Car
roll or McAullffe, 1 don't think he would have
lasted long. But there was one great feature
in the battle in question, viz, The excellent
condition of the contestants. Had they not
been in first-class condition they could not
possibly have lasted.
The Men Compared.
Well, McAulife is better fighter than Car
roll. think we'll all agree on that point. He
is more active on his feet much better boxer,
and am inclined to think has better judgment
in the ring. But Carroll can stand as much
punishment as McAuliffe, ana probably more.
In the early part of the battle McAuliffe bat
tered away with right and left on Carrolps
chin and neck sufficiently TO knock an ordinary
man out This was all done at out
fighting. McAuliffe's own exertions combined
with a few strong blows from Carroll, toned
him down considerably, and the latter began to
get to close quarters. Then his chances were
as good as those of McAulitfe, and at one stage
they looked better. Had McAuliffe continued
the infighting l think he would have been
knocked out But he killed his man at long
range. and this is McAuliffe's great forte. We're
he not so clever when fighting out" think 1t
would be safe to bet two to one that Carroll
would defeat him. But McAuliffe can keep an
opponent at a considerable distance. Several
times Carroll, by his persistence to get close up
nearly got knockout blow for his pains. Only
the cleverest lodging recently seen saved
Carroll. However, McAulitfe battered away at
Carrolrs wind SO steadily that when McAuliffe
did temporarily weaken Carroll hadn't wind
sufficient to make him effective even when he
got into close quarters. Both men fought with
good judgment, but McAuliffe's long range
style was certainly too much for the plucky
Carroll. PR1NGLE.

Dempsey and La Blanche.

During the past week have noticed strong
revival of the discussion regarding the proba-
bIlities of a battlesbetween Jack Dempsey and
George La Blanche. During all the expression
of opinions it is worthy of remark that there
have been few to contend that La Blanche is
not anxious to meet Dempsey. Whether or
not these two prominent pugilists will ever
meet again in the ring I know not, but it is
quite plain to that if they don't it will be no
fault of Dempsey's A few days ago friend of
mine in this city received letter from Demp-
sey, dated Portland Ore. In it the writer
plainly stated that he intended to remain out
West until he either secured another battle with
La Blanche or that the latter definitely de-
clared he would not fight. 1 am inclined to
believe that Dempsey means everything he
has his only defeat to redeem. But why Demp-
sey should evince SO much anxiety to again
meet La Blanche 1 fail to see. If the latter
persistenty refuses to meet him. the fact that
Dempsey is the superior man will, think, be
admitted by just as many people as if Demp-
sey were to fight La Blanche and defeat him.
Nobody now or in olden times ever considered
that Dutch Sam was the superior of the
famous Tom Belcher because the former Sc
cured q chance victory over Belcher. Sam would
never face Belcher again simply because he
knew what his fate would be. 1t may be the
same way with La Blanche. 1 am disposed to
think that it is. La Blanche is certainly good
pugilist, but his actions of late have been such
that one cannot avoid the conviction that be is
not at all inclined to meet Dempsey. He may
be more anxious for battle when his money is
all gone.
