hminary sparrlng, during which no
damage was done, Slavin led out with
his right. which McAuliffe returned
with his left, but missed the blow. He
quickly recovered and planted his left
effectively, following the stroke with
his right. An exchange of blows fol-
lowed, McAuliffe having decidedly the
best of it. When the men broke away,
Slavin caught heavy blow from Nc
Abilities right on the chest. This
reused him, and he promptly retail
ated, tho exchange ending with
MeAullffe coming to tae ground.
When McAuliffe fell, it was in Slavin's
corner, and the crowd cheered loudly.
On rising the men got together, and
McAuliffe landed a terrific blow on Sla-
WINS face, and followed with several
lunges in the same direction. McAuiiffe
landed two more tremendous right
handlers on Slavin's face, and when

round McAuliffe opened with ais right

broke away. After hesitating an in

distressed for wind, and he jumped in,
prepared to give him the coup de
grace. and with a powerful blow
on the head he knocked Nc

to face his punishment. He went
down again as softly as possible. The
seconds, seeing twas useless to prolOng
the battle. threw up the sponge, and
Slavin was declared the winner amid
tremendous amount of cheering. The
result staggered McAuliffe's friends,
for they were confident he would win.
Slavin's partisanS were equally conf
dent, though they never expected that
he would win such brilliant triumph
as the beating of his opponent in so
short time. The fight had been sub
ject of general interest on both sides of
the Atlantic for several months past.
The men were
Matched Some Time Ago
to contest before the Ormonde club, of
London, for purse of $1,000. There
had been considerable rivalry and scram-
bling by the London clubs to secure the
mill. but the Ormonde was successful.
McAuliffe went into serious training
under the watchful eye and membership
of Billy Madden, and reports of the
Americans improvement and fine con-
ditiOn were cabled to this country day
after day. Madden was confident, and
SO was the American contingent abroad,
and McAuliffe was the favorite in the
| test. On Sept. % the fight received a
check by the arrest of the princi-
pals and their being held in $4,000
bail to keep the peace for at least
| twenty-fOur hours. AS these twenty
| tour hours included the time set for the
| contest, it was generally supposed that
| the contest was off, as far as En- gland
| was concerned, and preparations were
begun to have it occur on foreign SOL,
France and Belgium being named. 1t
was argued that contest with gloves
| did not come under the head of prize
| fighting, and when the matter came up
| for examination, the magistrate, after a
| long investigation, concluded that, in
| stead of binding the defendants over to
| keep the peace for an indefinite period,
| he would
Bind Them Over to Appear
before him If called upon. Then, If
any breach of the peace occurred, the
| defendants could be apprehended and
| sent to trial. McAuliffe and Slavin
were then liberated under 1000 bonds.
| New arrangements were then made.
and the contest was altered to fifteen
rounds of minimum duration, instead
| of thirty, and siX-Ounce gloves TO be
used instead of four. The purse was to
remain the same, 1000. with the pro-
| fight, the men would receive but $500.
| The betting at TatterSall's before the
| fight was in favor of McAuliffe. 1t was
expected that the EAmerican would do
| the knocking out if any was done,
and that Slavin's chances were
| good if he succeeded in staying
for six rounds. The surprise is great
| that McAuliffe went out at the hands of
the Australian. The Suns cable has

fighters by jumping on his hat, while

was seconded by Billy Mccarthy and
| Jack Lewis, and the same tender Office
| for McAuIiffe was performed by Billy

were G. W. wye and Jack Angle, both
well-known sporting men in England.

| offered ON Slavin were % to 20 and 55 to
30. The baccarat king offered to bet
200 against 800 that no one could name
the winner. Many even bets of 9100
were offered on Slavin before the men
came into the ring. However, there
! were few bets taken.
