San Francisco, Nov. 20.-After six
years of patient waiting, Jimmy Car
roll. the ex-lightweight champion of
the west, was tonight given an oppor-
tunity to recover the laurels wrested
from him by Jack McAuliffe on the
night of March q, 1890, in the rooms of
the old California Athletic CLUB in this
city. On that occasion, Carroll, after
having his opponent all but out, be-
came over-confident and attempted to
finish McAuliffe while the latter still
had a Knockout punch left which he
planted on CARROTS jaw with great eff
feet.
The meeting tonight was at catch
weights. Carroll turning the scales at
13S and McAuliffe at $50. The men
were matched by the St George CLUB
for a 10-round contest, each TO receive
a proportionate amount of the gate re-
ceipts.
McAuliffe was coarse and beefy,
while Carroll, though showing but lit
tie trace of his former activity, was
by far the better conditioned of the
pair having trained carefully for three
months, McAuliffe putting in as many
weeks of light work.
