Jackson Is the Greatest Ring General.
McAuiifYe and Goddard.
The National Sporting Club of London,
England, has had great fstic battle re-
Gently. the result of which surprised ma
jority Of sports who have been for years
the acknowledged authorities on all matters
pertaining TO the prize ring.
Experience. eeneralshiD and condition. all
Of which jackson possessed, proved con-
clusively to Patrick Francis S!ayin that
phenomenal hitting power is comparatively
useless to pugilist of this day unless he
has graduated from the latest school of fstlc
art
Slavin relied solely on his oftentimeS
proven ability to whip men by shee bull
dog grit and ability to administer heavy
punishment. but when he faced thorough
graduate of Queensberry, possessed of all
the knowledge requisite to meet out punish
nent and avoid return blows, he, philo-
sophieally, fell by the ring side badly
whipped disciple of the manly art.
l. Is well-known fact that Joe Nc
Auliffe literally made a football OF Slavin
In the first round OF their fight. He tbHmped
the Australian frequently and gave him
such a remarkably good hammering that
the sports who wager on games OF tiStieutfs
offered 500 to $40 on the Californian. and
very scarce.
In the second round SlayIn landed one Of
his pet blows, which turned the tide of bat
tie in bis favor. When McAuliffe reeled
from its effects bulldog Pady was on him
like fash, and the muehly demOraiZed
Californian never recovered from the shock
OF The sudden charge and punches until his
seconds, by massage treatment and SpOng-
Ing. brought him TO his senses.
1t is said that McAulife was weak from
the effects of too hard a course of training
and had lost his stamina after the first
round. There may be much truth in this
statement but then McAulffe's past record,
so Tar as fights in this city are concerned,
proves that he is possessed OF most awk-
ward way OF avoiding punishment once an
opponent enters within his guard and
mixes things up hit. AT long range Ne
Auliffe can do excellent work. He can step
rush splendldlY, and nnless Goddard can
duplicate Siavin'S pprformance-that is, by
boxing within the lines, 80 to speak, and
catching Joseph "Rhoop-la on the short
ries-ihe Californian should stand very
GOOD chance OF winning the big end OF the
5000 stake.
Goddard is very game tighter, and, ae-
cording to those who have seen him in bat
tie, he can punish an opponent as effectively
as his eouniryman, SlGvin.
The Californian places his defeat by
SlhYln to weakness, which he says he felt
the moment he got hit. Ia the coming en-
gRgement MeAuliffe will fight at 215 pounds
or thereabouts. which viii be 20 pounds
more ia his favor than when he encount-
