Joe McAuliffe.
The ColOred Champion Will Not Fight ANY
One Until He Meets slavin-Pa6dy
Replies to sullivans Mandate.

Peter Jackson has become tired of wait
ing for an answer from Corbett to his re-
peated challenges. and has now partly con-
Guided o. visit New York about the time
- Siavin will arrive
Il want the first engagement with the
man who disputes the championship of
Australia with me-" said Jackson to num-
Der Of people Yesterday. among whom was
:. Joe McAulitfr, and if Paddy refuses 10 meet
me l viii compel him. some way or mother.
to acknowledge that i ain his superior.
He has been Boosting in England that
he is the only recognized champion Of the
colonies, although he is thoroughly aware
Of the positions we occupy as pugili.ts in
the opinion OF all Australians.
Il shall DO my utmost to have him con-
sent TO meet me before he faces Sullivan,
who will not be prepared to fight for year,
at least"
SfAULIFFE AND JACKSON.
Joe McAullffe. after shaking hands with
Jackson, asked the latter if he would give
him a return match should he be successful
in his next engagement with Cardiff. Jack
son paused for a few seconds and ans wered
that he could not promise for a match az
present, as he had made up his mind to
have a decided answer from Slavin when
Paddy arrived III New York.
We'll" said Joe, fight or no fight,
Peter, We shall always, / hope, remain good
friends, but in case Slavin should refuse to
meet YOU, what then"
"Certainly. in that event." retorted the
colored champion, Il shall be only too glad
10 meet all corners. bar none"
"All right them" said big Joe, as he
handed out his big bunch Of fyes for another
shake, Il shall await the opportunity"
During the conversation which passed
un in fol A,,f,
found occasion to remark that Jackson had
only the merest prospect of "A match with
Slavin.
sLAvIN's SYSTEM.
why, Peter" said Joe, you can smother
Slayin, because he has no system of self-de-
Tense and his style of fighting is something
similar to Mike COnley's the Ithaca giant.
COnley is bulldog rusher and Slavin is OF
tho same kind. / must say, though, that
SiaVin is an awful hard puncher, and his
game qualities will win him many battles,
as he will keep coming at you until no is
knocked senseless."
jackson as much as acknowledged Slavin's
ability to punch hard, but now and then he
would. In quiet way, make some reference
to bis ability to avoid being hit by clumsy
fighter.
Patsy Cardiff is giving exhibitions on the
way to this city. Cardiff did the same thing
when he was matched to fight jackson. AS
previously stated in The CALL. unless the
club keeps a daily watch on Patsy's move
ments he will not train an hour for the
match, as his previous records have proven
him to be a man who would prefer not TO
train and get the losers end of the purse
than to get himself into condition and take
chances for the big end Of the trophy, as it
is called.
George la Blanche is such another man as
Cardiff. III the latter could find some way
Of reducing to ''the Marines" weight, what
fight they would make for the honor Of
BENG first man out.
AFTER SULLIVAN.
The following letter, in answer to Snlli-
vans challenge, from Slavin. has been re-
ceiyed at New York:
