 The Philadelphia boy had no in -entign of going to the Anripodes when he took his second trip 10 Europe last fall. but on the other side Mcintosh. the shrewd inter- national promoter, painted such a glowing picture of the big m ney earned in sydney rings that Lewis decided ta make the long trip.

 John l.. Sullivan. the former cham pion of champions. tells an interest ing story of the McCaffrey fiasco.
 ri was one of the hardest turns at training I ever did for a fight that never came off" said Jchn T got ready 10 make q demonstration cn the makeup of Dominick McCaf- frey. and never made it. l. is quite story. To begin with Me Cafrey was matched to fight Jake Kilrain before the swell Crihb club of Boston. Kilrain appeared to carry out his part of the contract but for some reason McCafrey didn't show rD. The head man of tho Crihh club. Mir. Appillonio. think il was. announced 10 the members of he club that never again would Me Caffrev he allowed inside the doors of the place because of his failure to come to the scratch.
 "To those who never heard cf this Crbb club of Boston. I may say that il was made up of the blue blocds and kid-glove element of Bos- ton Only members were allowed to attend it's affairs. one black ball could bar any candidate for mem- herShip and only men whose people came over in the first cabin of the Mavf'Ower need aDnlv The fghterS of course. whose folks camo over in the Cephal"nia, were hired for their occasions. There was another Cribb club in Boston later on. but that was
 q different kind of a club. and any body could get into its affairs if he had the price at the door.
 Well after the failure to meet ki'rain McCaffrev fought Pete Me Gov in the old Windsor the2ter in Boston. The bout wasn't a decision. and l was in McCoys corner and told Dominick what thought of h i'm He laHlaraI b, only wallop Mccoy, but he could lick me. He added some things-words

 At that time cnly the boldest
 guage on me that McCaffrey did and as he made his boasts before quite a crowd of folks, l made up
 my mind 10 make him ca. his words.
 "A match was made. and we were 10 moe- in Philadelphia. I

 I'll train you upon one condi-

 "l made the promise and stuck to it. The training was as stiff as Patsy could make it and there was ! not any drinking in il at all. When | the time came for the battle in Philadelphia. l was as ii as a fiddle, l and Dominick McCaHrey might well ] have felt a little weak around the knees at the prospect that was be fore him. But, to give him credit l think he was as eager for battle as l was, and I was simply crazy i to get him within conf rtable ring and before as large a crowd as he had when he made his original def. "On the night the battle was scheduled for there was a mob Of sports gathered in little old Phil adelphia to see it. If John D. | Rockefeller or J.

There | wasn't money enough in the mint to have got me to let Dominck off even if he had wanted to duck i the meeting. which he didn't. But just as we were about to start the ball rolling. in came a flock of police and they declared the

 Abe Attells decision to meet Jem | Driscoll in London next month. ] only six or eight weeks after he 1 suffered a broken arm in a match with Johnny kilbane, is in strong | contrast to the Fanian policy intro
