McAulitfe's seconds were Billy Madden

ters that the fight would not be genuine,
President Fulda told both the contest
ants that at the least sign of folling the

thrown from the ring. The club gym
nasiuin wa; crowded. about 1900 per-
soEs gaining admission. The betting
was brisk, the Carroll men demanding
two to one. and much money was placed
at these odds
Previous to the contest an effort was
made to pass /, resolution instructing the
board OF directors to arrange a match
between Jcc Nc c-luiiffc and Peter Jack
son. but the club decided to leave the
matter in the hands OF the directors.
The E!cn entered the ring al 8 .. III.
McAuiife weighed 1874 l-2 pounds and
Carrel: 10 i3 pounds. Time was called
at 9:Gj.
Up to the twenty seventh round the
honOrs were about even, though both
men did goo! work and each got in some
telling blows. In the twenty-seventh
and twentv-c iGhth there was some sharp
fighting at c.ose quarters in which Nc
AulltTc l;;s;l lie advantage. He pounded
Carroll ;abo,i, :l:e neck and body until
the latter staggered under his blows. In
the next two rounds there were solae
more heavy hitting. with very little dam
age to either man. The next few rounds
were generally in McAniiii'es favor. both
men displaying inuc.l vleve,ness. There
were 4 number Of rallies IN which con
siderable p;bir<!na wa; done by Nc
Auliffe. Macs ll.,,.~ seemed to have
greater effect Whss: -, mel. were not
fighting ut close quarters. McAulitfe had
the advantage nearly al TIE time, Is Car
roll was seldom able to reach him. Once

it seemed that there was every prospect
that the light wo:;il last some time
longer.
The thirty-seventi, round was very
tame, but the men spared the next
round with some slight exchanges, and
then Carroll commenced to pound away
at Macs face and jaw. Carroll reached
his mark more than half dozen times
and Mac was evidently becoming dazed.
He struck out weakly, but Carroll would
get away safely and come back with an
other jab in Macs face. Carroll repeated
this performance III the next round
though with not with such good effect
The fortieth round was quiet.
McAuliffe recovered a little in the next
round; but in the forty-second round
Carroll gave him an ugly upper cut and
then planted several more hard ones on
ais nose and face. causing the blood to
flow freely and making McAuliffe stag
ger.
In the forty-third round McAulitfe
was plainly getting weaker, and num-
Der of blows on his jaw from Carrolls
fist in this round did not improve his
condition.
The weak point in Carroll's tactics
showed in the iorty-fourth round, when
he failed to rush Mac till just as the
gong sounded. The game struggle kept
up until the fortyseventh. when furious
slugging was INDUCED in by both men.
Blows were showered On head, face and
chest, and Mac was apparently all but
gone, being unable to stand the terrible
pace. Just as his friends thought he
was gone he landed terrific crash on
Jimmys mouth. The Boston lad fell
lat on his back. He could not rise when
.ime was called, and. amid furious
storm of applause. sicAulitfe was de-
.lared the winner.
McAuliife suffered terribly. both eyes
being partially closed and his body show
ng bad weits. Carroll soon recovered
md walked out OF the ring. He was
lsed up by body blows. The mill was
he most evenly contested ever here. and
either mans fight almost to the end.
