SPORTING MISCELLANY.

Jack McAuliffe makes public, In an
honest. outspoken way, that the facts
printed In this column regarding his
actions previous to his fight with Critic
were absolutely correct. Having ac-
knowledged his fault, he says he is pen
itent, and Is willing to atone for the err
ror of his ways. This, backed by an ear
nest effort on his part to regain public
confidence. will do much to place him In
n better light before the sporting public.
1t cannot be denied that Referee More's
decision did Jack infinitely more harm
than II 1t had been declared that he had
been ignomniously defeated. which is
perhaps thoroughly appreciated now by
McAuliffe and those about him. 1t would
be little too much TO expect McAulirre
to acknowledge in so many words that
he was defeated after the decision had
been given In his favor. The best man
ner OF showing his sincerity will be to
train conscientio usly and AVOID matches
before clubs where clocks" are consid-
cred more capabl" than the honest judg-
ment OF trained experts.

patrons had failed to do so honestly.
1t is understood that McAuliffe Is
ready to sign for a fight with Critic, II
cellent chance for Jacks friends to back
up the statements made by them durins
the week and to prove their faith In his
regeneration. A hight between the two
would hardly be Il drawing card now II
this vicinity, but might be brought OF
successfully elsewhere.
