McAULIFFE AGAIN.
He Is Said to BE Training Hard to
Meet Layiyne


New York, Feb. 24.-Once again the state
ment is made that Jack McAuliffe is hard
at work getting in condition for his six
round bout with George Lavigne on W ednes-
day, March IL. at Madison Square Gar
den. One Of McAuliffc's friends says:
This is the first time that McAuliffe
has really worked hard in preparation for
any bout. In all his famous battles with
Jem Carney, Billy Myer and Jimmie Car
roll 1t was an open secret that McAuliffe
did no training, but depended on his nat
ural ability to pull him through. McAu-
life has been working off his superfluous
flesh for the past TWO weeks at Bath Beach
by taking long road runs and sparring with
big Andy Shields and Jimmie Nelson, his
assistants. The change in McAuliffe is
marked. He has already taken off ten
pounds, and proposes taking off ten more,
so that he will only weigh 140 on the night
of the contest, His eyes are bright, and his
movements quick in fact, he looks better
than he has in six years.
Dick Roche, after watching McAuliffe
spar, said: II saw him box three rounds
with Shields, who is a big. strong fellow,
and never saw q man work harder. I
am glad to see the way he is acting, and
shall advise all my friends to bet on Jack
getting the decision over Lavigne. 1t will
be a great fight. There is no understand
ing between them, and the fight is on its
merits. 1t will only be stopped in order to
avoid a knockout If either becomes groggy."
Lavlgne has been working at Oceanic
under the care of Ted Alexander. Tommy
Ryan is to join and spar with him in few
days.

Glenn rushed up to Marshal Tyren.
Are you going TO let them fellows

SPIDERS AND The GIANTS
Players Selected by the Two Man
ayers to Go South.
Fat Tebeau VIII Have Twenty on the
Southern Trip and Irwin VIII
Care for Twenty-Five.

Cleveland, Feb 24.-Twenty players will
accompany Capt. Tebeau to Hot Springs
on the 7th OF March. The team will In
clude all the older men OF the team, Te-
beau, Childs, Mexican, Chamberlain. Nc
Carr, Burkett, McAleer. Blake, Shearon,
thinner, O'Connor, Cuppy, Wallace, Will
son, Young and Knell. Tom Delehanty will
be taken along, as also Gray, the phenome-
nal outfiei der that was picked. up by
Cleveland at Findiay, Ohio, last fall.
George Tebeau will join the team at Hot
Springs, and O'Meara win go there from
Memphis, where he has been spending the
winter. Three young pitchers, Carrick,
Swain and Schieble, may not be taken on
the trip, but will go direct to Fort Wayne,
where they will be under tue supervision OF
George Tebeau.
or the new players that have signed great
pains will be taken to develop Delehanty,
Shearon and Gray. Shearon has played in
Cleveland before, and a fair idea is en-
tertained of his ability to meet demands.
Delchanty is Cleveland boy, but he has
learned most about his work away from
home, and it is not altogether certain
that he will be ready for League company
this year. Nevertheless Cleveland is almost
sure to retain him on the team all the sum-
mer as regular substitute. He Is prom
isng infielder and is believed to have quite
as brilliant a future ahead of him as his
brother. now with the Philadelphias. Gray
is an entire stranger.
Everything has been. arranged SO that
Cleveland will have farm at Fort Wayne
In the Interstate League. Either eight of
nine players of the local team will be To-
Gated there and will be- subject local when
ever Cleveland wants them. The local peo-
pie did want an arrangement whereby
they might shift players as they deemed
most advisable. This the Interstate League
would not agree to. While Cleveland can
take players from Fort Wayne whenever
it desires to do so, Fort Wayne cannot bor
row from Cleveland after the 18th day of
April. Any player that Fort Wayne gets
at that time must be formally released by
the Cleveland m anage gement

IT WAS HOT ENOUGH.
Echoes of the Maher-Fit zsinl m ons

Echoes of the Maher-Fitzsinl m ons
Fight From Ell Paso.
Ell Paso. Tex, Feb. 24.-There was a lot
of talk around town yesterday about Fitz-
simmons winning by chance blow. There
is no chance about 1t. That Fitzsimmons is
too much for Maher has been twice dem
onstrated. Fridays fight was hot enough
while 1t lasted. and Maher's friends got a
great deal of satisfaction out of the fact
that Peter hit Bob oftener than Fitz hit
him.
During the one minute ant thirty-fiye sec
onds that the contest lasted FitzsimmOns
hit Maher but one blow, because one blow
proved enough. Before Fftz landed that
one blow he had taken three pretty hard
ones and as many more pun ches that didn't
amount to anything.
Peter got home with his right on Bob's
ear and heart and jabbed him a good one
on the chin. and yet it was evident even
while Maher was scoring these points that
Fitzsimmons was his master. Fitz bluffed
with his right from the very start, miss
ing Peters jaw four or five times with a
sort of right hand hook blow, and never
once leading with his left. This set Naher
guessing, and resulted in drawing him on
and tempting him into swim ging his right.
Fitzsimmons ducked Maher's first swing,
probably to better judge his range, but the
next time Maher swung he went out.
Fitzsimmons did the job 30 neatly that
half OF the spectators could not tell how
1t was executed.
Mailer makes no pretencc OF laying his
defeat to weak eyesight. Said be: MY
eyes were all right; thought was win
ming until got that punch. can't for
the life of me tell how he did it. But 1t
