This City-7he Measurement Craze.

This City-Ihe Measurement Craze.
Local sporting men are now specializing
on the probable result of the Goddard and
MeAuliffe fight, which will take place under
the auspices Of the California Club on the
evening of the 30h inst. If hard training
and close attention to athletic business will
bring the heavy-weights to the scratch in
irst-class shape. the members of the club
can rest assured of seeing two fine spec-
mems of physical manhood on the evening
above stated.
The Australian and American are leaving
no grass grow under their leather sOles; in
fact. they are said TO be ready now TO enter
the ring. McAullffe will turn the scales at
about 215 pounds, which, according to his
way Of thinking. will be the proper thing
Goddard will hop into the ring some
where between $50 and 100 ounds He al
lows that big Joe will have great advan-
tage IN weight, height and reach of arms.
II do not mind these little things so much,
you know, IN man of McAulitfe' calibeT."
SAID Goddard TO friend recently, ''but if
really clever man possessed these qualifica-
lions, then would greatly fear the result.
HAS A HANDY LIFT.
II know that my opponent has a pretty
handy lett l know how he intends to use
1t, and l also know bow | am going to avoid
it. All l will require is to get within hitting
distance Of the big fellow and the game is
mine

1892.
McAuliffe's record is well known to all
local patrons of the ring. He has had only
TWO battles OF any impOrtance-the first
against Peter jackson aud the second
against Paddy Slayin, both of which he
lost. he Is fairly clever fellow; but, as
an old-timer said few days ago. Joe is a
NEST dangerous man at long range, but
again, when he gets 4 pretty stiff blow o.
the neck or body he becomes stupid and
lays himself open to the attacks OF an Opp0-
nent"
The betting still favoTs Goddard, and it is
rumOTed that quite snug sum OF money
arrived on the last steamer from the colo
MES to be placed on Goddard when Me
Abilities figures will signify even betting.
RETIRED BIIDDLE-wEIGHT.
Tom Barry, a retired middle weight has
returned from Montana, after enjoying a
very pleasant years vacation. He says
that he would not object to a go with
either Patsy Hogan or Harry Maynard.
Danny Daily, the Omaha bantam weight
pugilist, is on his way to this city to fight
Sol Smith, the cOnqueror OF Dal Hawkins.
Daley has not accomplished anything extra
ordinary, and as Smith has already proven
himself TO be game fellow and a hard
puncher, the betting Wi j. IN all probability,
favor the local man.
The latest fad in pugilistic circles is the
measurement craze. All the pugs are get
ting measured. in fact a pug is not pug at
all who cannot rattle off his measurements
al libitum. President Harrison of the
Pacific Club is anxious for the time when
the pugs viii get the correct measurement
of Pacific Coast purses.
The Pacific CLUB is considering a match
between Dobbs and Billy MahaD. Menu
bers who deteSt watching an al-nigLt con
test are in hopes that the club will not con-
summate any such match. Mahan is a
prize member of an order which is known
as the ail-night fighting society"
A WRESTLING CHALLENGE.
Lueien Marc Christol who signs himself
lightweight champion wrestler of the
world, has written from Los Angeles to
The CALL to state that he will wreStle any
lightweight wrestler at a 140-pOund limit
either Gr8co-R Roman or catch-as-catch- eau,
for from $500 to $1,000 a side and the gate
receipts.
Christol says that his money is now
posted with Charles A. Doyle Of the Los
Angeles Natatorium, and that reply from
any of the champions is earnestly hoped
for. The Frenchman prefers to meet Nc
LPod or Acton il the latter can reduce to
his terms.
Professional wrestling has long since died
a natural death in this city, and it is very
doubtful if the sporting men of Los Angeles
would take very kindly to match between
ChriStol and any Of the pros" who are at
present tTamplng around the country on
their uppeTs. The present challenge looks
like pTearranged affair between Christo
and some of the fraternity, who look for
ward to the City of Angels as being a good
town 10 work in. 1t is pretty safe TO say
that it will not be many days until ChrlSt0l's
challenge will be accepted by one of the
carpet-tumblers who has instructed the
French wrestling artist how to proceed to
work" the newspapers Of this city aud
