of the club month ago. Joe Goddard,
the barrier champion" of Brisbane,
Australia, and Joe McAulifle, the "Mis-
sion Boy'' of San Francisco, appeared be-
fore the club as principals in glove con-
test which has been looked forward to
with more general interest than any SIM
liar event which has taken place on the
coast in the past two years. The pool
sellers estimate that $4,000 was wagered
on the fight in this city, with odds of $40
to SIT and $40 to IS 80 in favor of Nc
Aulif1e.
The Wigwam, where the contest took
place, was crowded to an extent never
before seen on a similar occasion, and
fully 5000 persons witnessed the contest.
A number of preliminary bouts pre-
coded the principal event. The men
| fought at catch weights, and Goddard's
weight was given as 1870 and McAulitte's
2l9. The purse was $1,000, Of which the
| loser was to take $3.50.
Goddard entered the ring at 9 P. NJ, and
was uproariOusly cheered.

gains and Martin Murphy, while Herbert
Goddard and Henry Gallagher were in
! Goddard's corner.
