Australia, and Joe McAuliffe, the "Mis-
sion Boy" of San Francisco, appeared
before the club as principals in glove
contest, which has been looked forward
to with more general interest than any
similar event which has taken place on
the coast in the past two years. The
pool sellers estimate that $4,000 was
wagered on the result in this city, with
odds Of 20 to IL and 10 to So in favor
of McAuliffe. The wigwam, where
the con test took place was crowded to
an extent never before seen on similar
occasion, and fully three Thousand per-
sons witnessed the contest.
A number OF preliminary bouts pre-
ceded the principal event. McAuliffe
was seconded by Aleck Greggains and
Martin Murphy, while Herbert Goddard
and Henry Gallagher were in Goddard's
corner. President Hiramn Cook was the
referee.
The'men stripped apparently in the
hest of condition, hard and without su-
erfuous flesh. Goddard appeared
small beside his big opponent, but was
finely proportioned from the hips up.
Time was called ats9:07.
First round-Mac made the first lead,

Goddard rushed with his left in the
chest and his right on the heart. cod
dard again rushed McAuliffe to the
ropes, but was sent down with q right
lhander by the Californian.
Second round--After some fdGling,
Goddard let 60 bis left and the men
sclinched; Mac staggered him with
sright-hander on the ribs, and Goddard
emissing his lead, Mac came in with both
hands. Mac again stopped the rush SO
forcibly that the Australians right leg
FLEW up, and the spectators hissed, for
they thought Goddard was trying to
kick him. Three hot rallies near the
ropes followed, the Mission boyyjabbing
his opponent with both hands, while
Goddard reeorted to rib punching.
Third-Goadard rushed with his left,
and, after a clinch, sent Macs head
back with aleft-hander. His overland
smashes generally failed to reach, but
he landed bis left on McAglffe's ear.
Goddard then banged him about the
head, but slipped to the hoer again, all
but falling on his knees.
Fourth-Goddard came up a little
winded buteager, and forced the pace.

swings cleverly. The Australian tried
the Ls Blanche swing, while Mac was
holding him from behind, and failed.
Goddard was showing mp better and
banged the Mission boy hard about the
head.
Fifth--Goddard had great way of
going under Macs guard, then breasting
him and giving him both ,hends in the
face. This puzzled McAuliHe, who was
forced to clinch, but he got home on the
breakaway and the Australians left eye
was soon closed and bleeding.
iXth-Geddard was again the ag-
gressor. Mac was flushed,but confident.
Goddard pushed him about the ring,
Mae making no use of his superior
reach to keep him off, and the Australi-
an couGtere6 forcibly or the San Fran
ciscsa's jaw. Goddard Slipped to his
knee frcsn aAong drive by McAuliffe as
the rosnd closed.
Sewenth-A right eRaash on Macs
ribs and a left hook on the Australian's,
was followed by desperate clinch.
Goddard landed straight on Macs jaw
and series OF fruitless swings followed.
Goddard landed hard right swing on
Joe's ear, and smashed him in the
chest. The AustraliaR just touched

Eighth-Goddard upper-cut McAuliGe
after some dFuitless swilgs, and long
range sparring followed. Goddard coun-
tered hard with his left On Joess Shout
der, drawing blood. MeAaliffe got in q
good night drive in the face as the gong,
sounded. ~
Ninth--MeMuliffs had proved some
thing Of "a disappointment to his SUD-
porters, while Goddard's friends were
correspondingly elated. The men got
to close work, Goddard doing more fore
ible work and putting ia e coz pie OF
telling right-handers on the ear, and
near the wind-wp, Goddard punched Joe
in the stomach with his left, and two
} right upper-cuts followed.
Tenth-Bets had been made that the
tight would not last over ten rornds.
sGoddard forced Mac against the ropes,
swinging his right.cl the Jaw. Mac
,seemed f6nrried and the Australian
rushed in. Goddard struck the, San
FTanciscan hard ibackhander on the
cheek, but Mac retailated hard in the
face. Both men missed nuRbef of
leads.
kEleventh--Goddard forced McAulife
from corner TO corner, making desperate
drives for his head. Macs temper WIGS
aroused. and he punched the Australian
hard on the chest. Goddard paid less
attention to the body than the head, and
seemed trying for knockout. McAuiiffe
pursued his usual slow methods of long,
range drives after a clineh.
Twelfth Goddard came ssp evidently
bent ON finishing the San franciscan,
and banged him about the ring with
both halds. McAuliffe made use of his
left and stopped several desperate left
jabs on the mouth. Goddard crowded
him to the ropes and Nc resorted to
sclinching to save himeelf.
Thirteenth--G Goddard banged McAu-
life about the ring. The Mission boy
grabbed him by the neck in bear-like
hug, lasting over two seconds. Goddard
countered ioEcibly with both hands,
MeAuliffe uppercut once, but he had
apparently lost all idea OF guarding him
sell or making an aggressive fight.
Fourteenth--Mac made quick lead,
but Goadard countered with his left on
the Jaw, staggering him. Mac clinched
him shout the neck, and Goddard
smashed him in the ribs. The Austra-
Ian banged him from corner to post,
sending him through the ropes. Me-
Aulifie went down for several seconds,
and rose with his nose bleeding. God
dard crowded him and drew blood from
his mouth. This looked to be the end
