THE M'AULIFFE-G0DDARD FIGHT.
Betting not Heavy, With Odds Ten to Eight
on McAuliffe.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 2S.-In-
terest in the McAulitfe-Goddard
fight, scheduled for next Thursday
night, is on the increase. Betting
thus far has not been heavy, the odds
ten to eight on McAuliffe. The Aus
,ralian hackers claim they should be
greater considering the disparity be-
tween the two men in height, weight
and reach. If IfMcAuliffe is as skillful
as Peter Jackson he ought, with his
long reach, escape without a scratch
and leisurely job out Goddard. His
friends say he has improved in quick
ness and skill and predicts an easy
victory for him. If Goddard wins he
declares he will challenge Peter Jack
son. He claims had Peter whipped in
sydney at the end of the eighth round
and if the contest had been allowed to
90 on he could have knocked out the
dusky gladiator. Jimmy Carroll,
light weight, formerly manager and
champion of Bob Fitzsimmons, is now
here and says he intends to challenge
the winner in the Jack McAuliffe and
Billy Meyer fight.
