railroad man for a pass from Virginia
City to Carson. Jack McAuliffe, former
lightweight champion, was on the train
and had with him Harry Peppers, a
colored fighter, who had no ticket be
tween those points. When the train
said TO Connolly:
How did you get a ticket?'
''On my nerve, o course was the re-
ply
Lets see it, commanded Jack. and
Connolly handed it over. McAultffe
promptly gave the ticket to Pepper and
One Eyed was in a stew. He pleaded
with the two fighters in vain. When
the conductor came along Connolly
tried to explain, but it wouldn't work.
The train was stopped and Connolly
was hurled off into a snOwdrift. He
was twenty-five miles from Carson City
then, but it was not too far for One
Eyed" to tramp it. He got to the ring
side just in time to see the men put
up their hands. The beauty of this
achievement was that "One Eyed" sue
ceeded in beating his way past Dan
Stuart, a terror to deadheads. who ran
the fight and charged admission to
newspapers and the telegraph cOmpan-
les. The moment Stuart saw Connol-
ly in line he sad:

response. I don't want TO get in, but

Go in" said Stuart YEARLY. Go
in. It's no use talking. Go in"
1t was in Chicago later that Parson
Davies ran a big show. Connolly was
turned down hard at the doors and
was wild with rage. The police threw
him around until his clothes were torn
from his back and he was bleeding
from the nose. Davies was deaf to ali
entreaties and finally got into the ring
to introduce the boxers.
Gentlemen" began the Parson
smoothly, Il take great pleasure
Crash, a paving stone came through
| a. skylight and struck the floor in front
| of Dawes. The latter made a hurried
| exit from the ring.

! outside the railroad yard and he made
a bee line for it. 1t was in a. saloon,
and behind the bar was a citizen of
/ the bulldog type, who started back and
reached for bludgeon as Connolly en-
