Contest.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2O.-After
SIX years of patient waiting, Jimmy
| Carroll, the ex-light- weight champion
OF the West, was tonight given an op-
portunity to recover the laurels wrested
from him by Jack McAuliffe on the
night of March p, 1890, in the rooms of
| the old California Athletic Club in this
city. On that occasion, Carroll, after
having his opponent all but out became
over-confident and attempted to finish
McAuliffe, while the latter had a
Knockout punch left, which he planted
on Carroll's jaw with great effect.
! The meeting tonight was at catch
| weights, Carroll turning the scales at
l3S and McAuliffe at $50 The men
were matched by the ST. Georges Club
| for ten-round contest, each to re-
ceive proportionate amount of the
| gate receipts. McAuliffe was coarse
and beefy, while Carroll, though show
| ing but little trace OF his former ac-
| tivlty, was by far the better conditioned
of the pair, having trained carefully
for three months, McAuliffe putting in
as many weeks of light work.
