THINKS DEMPSEY
GREATEST FIGHTER
Jack McAuIiffe Points to Nom
pareil's Thirteen Rounds
With FitzSimmOnS.

Jack McAuliffe, lightweight champion
Of the world for thirteen years, is one OF
the few fighters who have not tried to
come back" Jack never lost a battle.
When he laid aside the gloves he was
day. Jack has been on the Pacific coast
for some time doing vaudeville stunt,
and he says his fighting days are over.
The following Is culled from an inter-
view handed out by Jack while he was in
San Francisco last week: Gee, how the
old game has changed" mourned Jack.
I'm my day fighting was a mans sport,
and you can take 1t from me that the
new school of boxing hasn't anything but
that new onion haircut on the old school.
don't know who was the greatest fighter
that ever lived, but If it was up to me to
name him, I'd say Jack Dempsey. In
my days we used to come from fighting
families. My old man could lick half OF
the present-day scrappers. and that's nc
boost for him. My old man used to be a
great fighter We lived up in Maine
There was an old cuss up there named
Jerry Shay. He was a soldier and he
was wounded in the war. The spot where
rebel bullet hit him was closer to his
heel than his forehead. and my old man
was the only one in the state Of Maine
that knew this.
Now, my governor was a peculiarly
tempered sort. Only thing he ever fell
for was Maine vinegar, which he kept
in bottles in the -four barrel. Every
time the old gent made a trip to that
flour barrel he usually went later on
trip to see Jerry Shay, and he always
asked Jerry where he was shot. That
meant hot scrap, and some of those
bouts were better than they stage today
and charge big prices for. That's the
kind of stock the old boys used to come
from-good fighting stock. Jack Demp-
sey and 1 were pals, and we we're both
pals Of Sullivan. They called us the
Three American Jacks, and you can count
up the fighters since our time and see II
they've had any better
Dempsey was little fellow, not much
bigger than me, but he had the heart
of a lion. Just imagine a welterweight
standing up for thirteen rounds under
the terrible panching of Fitzsimmons. and
YOU can have some idea Of how good and
true and game the Nonpareil was. livery
inch a man, and fighting man, was Jack.
He fought as much with his head as he
did with his hands.
HE had the greatest left hand l ever
saw Say, he could shoot that left hand
out like snake shoots out its tongue.
and there was just as much poison in it. :"

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 3O.-The pop
ularity of the fighting game all over the
country has been manifest as side line
notably in base ball this season. Fistic
disturbances have broken out among
players and between players and spec
tators and the umpires have been bel
ligerently handled, especially in the big
leagues. Three times players have mixed
with spectators, on two occasions Man
ayers Chance and Bresnahan mingling
with critics in the audience, while Third
Baseman Devlin Of New York walked
into a stand and pummeled a spectator
nearly to death. Manager McGraw tried
to relieve his disappointment over not
witnessing the big mill at Reno by scor-
Ing knockout at the expense of Pitcher
Bugs Raymond, while many informal
encounters have not appeared in print
Atlanta has been the storm center or
fstic activities in the Southern, Manager
Jordan and Paul Senteli starring First
Sentell mixed it up with Merit Whitney
and then clashed with Manager Jordan,
with the result that the scrappy short
stop is now hors du combat and Atlanta
is looking for his successor. An enter
lected stories of fistic encounters in the
Southern, Commenting thereon as fol-
lows:
'Jordans victory over Sentell gives
him batting average of 1000, as Otto
has won all his contests. There is a COM
mon saying that Otto is wearing a chunk
Of ivory for top piece, but it begins to
look as If he Is hard and tough physically
as well as mentally. His first clash In
Southern League circles came in Atlanta,
when a newspaper man started some
thing He failed to finish it, and was am
balanced to the sickshop. Next Otto fell
upon AL Newton and won an easy de-
cision. This happened in Memphis
"Sentelrs record is almost as good He
won over Muggsy McGraw in New York
and by kicking the daylight through a
few others he included some of the Polo
Grounds rowdies in the bunch.
.'He and Merit Whitney went to a
newspaper decision in Atlanta and the
folks said it was a draw. 1t looks as

RUGBY FOOT BALL.
A Crack English Team to Give
Exhibitions.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 30
Much has been heard here of the style
Of Rugby foot ball known as the north
ern union rules, but 1t has never been
played. simply because It Is always con-
sidered professional game and is played
only by professionals. 1t Is now almost
certain, however. that an exhibition game
will be played here about September or
October by the greatest opponents Of
the game in the world. The English In
ternational Northern Union team is at
present touring in Australia and Is sched-
uled to return to England via San Fran
cisco as soon as the Australian tour is
completed. ARRANGEMENTS are now under
way to have this team give an exhibi-
ton game during its stay here. There
are over thirty men In this combination.
and. as there are only thirteen players in
team of the northern union game, they
are willing to select two teams from their
numbers to give the local followers Of
Rugby a chance to compare the two
games.

Bunkering Is the Solution of
the Problem if a Severer
Test Is Required.

NEW YORK. July 30-Since James
Braid scored his sensational victory in
the open golf championship at st. An
drews and reduced the old ten stroke
English golfers are trying to devise q
plan to make the championship game
more severe. w. Herbert Fowler, q
well known golfer and cricketer, sug-
gests the use Of solid ball He points
out that in 1905 Braid won in 31l
strokes in 1900 Taylor took 500. and
this year Braid, carried of the honors
with 299. The present rubber ball, he
contends, goes so far that all the holes
which few years ago were drive and
"a brassie or cleek" are now drive and
a half-massie" shot. st. Andrews, he
says, no longer presents the very seri-
Gus test of second-shot play, as, 1t die
a few years ago. Many players, he
states, would like to see the champion
ship played for with a gutta-percha
ball..
S. H. Fry, who won the ST. Georges
vase in 1901 and 1909, the latter with a
record score of 1853, was beaten by
Charles Hutchings in the final of the
amateur championship at Hoiyoke in
1902, was runner-up in the Irish open
championship in 1907 and played fol
England against Scotland in 1902, 1903
1904, 1905. 1905 and 1909, in DISCUSSING
the situation, says:
Braid is the best player, and what
do they want to get for the cham
pionship but the best player? The rea-
Is that play has improved SO much, and
it does not matter how many records
go. l do not think one man in q thou
with harder ball. My own opinion is
a gutta-percha ball and Braid the bet
ter player with a rubber-cored ball
The use of solid ball would make a
difference Of from three to four
strokes. The rubber-cored balls, OF
course. make the game little easier
THE best way to make the champion
ship more severe would be to make the
course more difficult do not think that
the holes should be heightened. Bunker
ing is the solution of the problem If a
severer test is required
Another man who Is opposed to the
refntroduction Of the solid ball is J. S.
WOrthingtOn, who won the Irish cham
pionship in 1905, was fourth amateur in
the open championship in 1904 and the
winner of many gold medals. ut needs
much more eXertion to use the hard ball, u
he says. There Is much more pleasure
in playing with the rubber-cored ball
and the best player would come out on
top no matter what kind of ball was
used. ! believe they would play just as
well with the solid ball. but putting is
much more difficult l do not think II
would make much difference to Braid
With the balls now in use 1t is found that
one kind suits one player and a different
kind another. The rubber cored ball is
just as much an improvement on the
gutta- percha ball as the gutta-percha was
on the feather
They could make the holes more diff
ficult by frightening them,' he added
but think Braid could drive just as far
with solid ball, and the lengths between
the green's would not make much differ
ence."
