stood, because the belief has gone abroad
that Jimmy Carroll and Jack McAuliffe
gulled the public last Friday night with a
flake fight"
Carroll is suffering morally under that
implication, which even his long career as
square pugilist has not been able to
ward off.
The different newspapers, in their ac-
counts of the unsatisfactory ten-round go.
gave pen portrayal of two erstwhile good
men who had degererated into over-f1eshy
bag-pushers. and who varied their weak
ysical efforts by holding a conversation
in the ring, the main topic being:
"Is it better for you. Jack, or is it bet
ter for me to 20 out? And in what round
shall we do it? ?"
Carroll feels terribly over this state of
affairs. and he consented yesterday to
give an explanation, as well as an illustra-
tion, to CALL representative, showing
how. after the third round of his fight, lie
was in no condition to continue the battle
upon regularly accepted lines.
He was at the ST. Georges Club, sur
rounded by a dozen or more friends and
his trainer, to whom he was retelling the
details of the battle.

asked, first pointing to his left and then
to his right hand.

the right bicep and virtually paralyzed
the whole arm. See the mark it left?'
Carroll showed an upper. arm fear the
armpit that was swollen and frightfullv
discolored over an area of twenty square
inches. He could not move the arm with
out terrific pain. -

As Carroll turned around he presented
