A number Of Jersey wheelnen left over
the West Shore Railroad yesterday after
noon for the League Of American Wheel
men race meet at Denver. The party was
much smaller than was anticipated. This
was accounted for by a well known league
official on the ground of shard' times, : n

that there would not be less than two car

McAuliffe and Critic are training hard for
| their ten round bout at c~atcbweights.
| scheduled to take place at the Seaside
Athletic Club on Monday night, August q.
Both men training, shows the neither man
despises the ability of the other. In no bout
that will be held in this country for a long
! time will the element of science be so i'm
portant O factor as in this one. Critic is
matchless in his defense. McAuliffe as the
aggressor is the most scientific ring tactician
in the country. For Critic it has been said
that he is only a heavy feather weight; that
ne will be out-classed, that he cannot hit
hard enough. No one, however, forgets bis
late showing with Walter Campbell. Nc
Aulife two years ago had speed of a wonder
fully high order and could hit as hard as a
middle weight. McAulife with Jimmy
Carroll, runs. walks and swims and is taking
off weight rapidly. Critic makes the Sea
side Athletic Club his headquarters and the
character of his training varies very little
from that of his opponent. At bag punch
ing, like most Australians he is clever. a&
