Net Senator Ingalls, on That Occasion
Dead Games" Were Sore on Him.

Jack MeAuliffe, the champion light
weight pugilist of the world, is in the
city. With him are his party of boxers
and entertainers under the manage
ment of that smooth, jolly fellow, Tim
Minologue.
Jack McAuliffe and his manager ar
rived last night over the Santa Fe from
Kansas City. They went to the Ma
tiOnaI, where they We're seen at noon
today by a State Journal reporter. The
plucky little pugilist never arises until
noon, for he says that he can't go to
sleep until late at night.
You see,' said NIcAu!fffe, 4 used
to live in New York, and that's the way
they do there. I sit up and read the
papers nearly all night 1 usually go
to sleep about 3 o'clock in the morning
and never wake up till noon"
Emmett Melody and Henry Peppers
arrived this Afternoon from Kansas City
and viii take part in the entertain
meEt this evening at the Crawford
Opera House. There will be plenty of
local talent displayed.
Jack 8IcAulifIe is a fine specimen of
physical strength. He is feet 61A
inches in height and at fighting weight
tilts the scales at 135 pounds. He has
dark blue eyes and is round faced.
What did you think of the Corbett-
FitzsimmOns hghr?" asked the re-
porter.
1t was the greatest encounter in the
history of the ring, but I was confident
throughout that FitZ would eventually
win, as he is by far a better man than
COrbett though without the latter's
snowy boxing. Another thing upon
which L based my opinion was the fact
that Fitz had been fighting all the time.
consequently learning, while COrbett
had but one real fight in his entire ca
reer, that with Jackson, thus deteriOr-
ating I Won So 600 on the fight, but

defeat surprised me very much. / was
in his corner and turned my eyes away
from the ring for an instant, and when
1 looked around E1aherCy was on the
carpet licked with a, punch. That punch
cost me 1900 'plunks, and 1 will not
forget it in a hurry"
Did you see Senator ingalls, at Car
son City?"
Yes; 1 sat right behind him and to
the right of Mrs. FitzsimmOns. He seem
ed to enjoy il Immensely. though he de-
clared after the fight that he did not
care to see another My private Op1n-
ion is that he was a COrbett admiPer
and was chagrined at the defeat of his
idol Did you hear about the way the
dead games got sore on Ingalls,"
The reporter shook his head and Jack
said.
''Weu, it was just this way. In a pre-
hminary Writeup to his papers the
senator used the expression it had been
bruited about and most of the guys
thought that he meant they were
brutes. His story of the fight was a
peach, wasn't it2''
Look here said Manager NIinoIOgue
20 the reporter, 'tsee this article2" and
he showed a clipping from newspaper
in which it wa $ stated that Mile. Yvette
GullDert mad fallen in love with Jack
McAuliffe ard had made him promise
to come to Paris to see her. It also
stated that Jacks heart was also in the
actress possession
That's dead right - said NIinOlOgue.
''She was clear gone on him.
Another pUgilist OF note who will be
seen here tonight, is Henry Peppers,
the middleweight champion of Califor-
mia.
You ought to see the battle royal at
the close Of our performance. said Min
ologue- We put four cOIored fellows in
1he ring with gloves on and put flour
on. the gloves 1t brings down the
house"
