NJ AULIFFE WAS
OLD-TIME WONDER
Twenty Years Ago Nobody In
Lightweight Class Could
Whip Him

When Willie Richie and Joe Rivers
drew a gate OF $4,000 tor their recent
championship battle the fact was
again strikingly demonstrated that
the lightweights OF nstiana are the
ones In highest favor with lovers or
boxing OF course there have been
greater receipts than $4,000 for a
ring battle but these other record
houses were attracted from the coun-
try over, while Richie and Rivers
drew their patronage almost entirely
from the territory tributary TO San
Francisco
What a brilliant array OF champions
have reigned in the lightweight class.
McAuliffe, Layigne, Erne. Cans, Mel
son, Wolgast. Ritchie-each a cham
pion in every sense OF the word.
In the old days of twenty odd years
ago, Jack McAuliffe, one OF the three
famous American Jacks" was the
king pin in his division, and there
are many who still maintain that his
equal never drew on a pair Of fighting
gloves.
To show the consummate skill or
McAuliffe only one of his battles
need be recalled This was his first
fight with Billy Myers, the "streator
Cyclone In those old days every
thing was fair in a boxing contest
McAuliffe met Myers in an Illinois
mining town. The pair fought in
big lott over a live stable Myers
friends were out in legion and they
came prepared 70 see their man win
by fair means or foul The miners OF
that day were an uncouth lot They
armed themselves with slung shots
and small clubs. McAuliffe knew the
conditions he was up against, but the
iron heart OF Irish Jack never
quaked. He went dancing into that
hell hole like Dervish dancing his
Mullah's tunes into battle
McAuliffe and Myers started the
battle. The uncouth miners. armed
with slung shot and short club, stood
as close to the ropes as they could
get, and more than one OF them
brandished an ugly weapon in an at
tempt TO injure Williamsburg Jack.
But McAuliffe was equal TO the
emergency. He kept Myers close to
the center of the ring and himself out
Of reach OF those terrible weapons
and he gave Myers most unholy
beating; still he only got draw
Subsequently McAuliffe met Myers in
the first battle OF the famous New Or
leans carnival, where McAuliffe and
Myers, Sicily and Dixon and Sullivan
and CorDett fought This was back In
1892. McAuliffe knocked out Myers in
FIFTEEN rounds

Are SOUTHERNERS
NATURAL BATTERS?
Cobb, Speaker, Jackson and
Other Batting Stars Lead
To That Opinion

Are Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson and iris
Speaker great hitters who happen
TO be southerners or are they great
ball players because they are south
erners? The coincidence OF the men
having the batting lead in the Ameri-
can league all coming from the south
has set people to wondering II 1t isn't
more than a coincidence.
Cobb is from Royston. Ga: Jack.
son claims Greenville, s. c.. as his
home, while Speaker comes from
Hubbard. Tex All three are unQues-
tionably- southerners. and it Is argued
that this fact helps three naturally
great players TO be even greater than
they would be otherwise
Baseball is for the most part played
In very hot weather The glare OF
the sun. the heat arising from the
diamond, very seriously hamper soma
players. In fact. during the hottest
OF this seasons games many players
were seriously affected by the heat.
But Jackson, Cobb and Speaker
steamed right along. They are from
the south. the proponents OF the
southern idea say, and the south isn't
simply called SUMMIT is sunny. The
three leading batsmen got used to
hot weather early in life. The sun
doesn't bother them. They like 1t
and II makes them hit
So while other batsmen are willing
not visibly, perhaps. but still wilt.
ing-under the hot glare, 1t Is doing
the big three a lot OF good. It's what
they are used to. and they are feel
ing as though they were at home.
All this may not be true. but the
averages OF the three young men from
Georgia, Carolina and Texas, prove
that something or other makes them
great batsmen.

M. MAETERLlNCK
PRAISES BOXING
Belgian Poet Says Animals Are
Superior to Men In Self
Defense

After the recent bout ~ Client be
tween Bombardier Wells and Georges
Carpenter several Belgian deputies
proposed that such contests be forbid
den By law in future
This has given rise to much argu-
ment for and against in the Belgian
press The most interesting opinion
is that OF Maurice Maeterlinck. the
author and poet. who pronounces his
benediction on boxing in the follow
ing words:
The study OF boxing gives us ex-
cellent lessons In humility and throws
a rather disquieting light on the de-
cay OF some of our most precious in
stincts. We soon perceive that in
everything pertaining to the use OF
our members. agility, skill, muscular
strength, power to resist pain. We are
AT the bottom of the scale among
mammals From this point OF view
our rightful place would be modest
one between the frog and the sheep.
THE kick OF q horse the goring
of a bull, the bite OF dog are me-
chanically and automatically perfect.
1t would be impossible 20 improve
by lessons the instructive use OF their
natural weapons, but we humans. for
all our pride. do not even know how
20 use our fists.
I'VE do not even know which is
really the weapon of our kind I'm
I'll master has laboriously taught us
We are totally ignorant of concen-
trating and making use Of the relative
~ tremendous force resident in our
chest and shoulders Watch two
carriers. two countrymen who come
to blows: nothing more pitiable.
Now just contemplate two boxers:
No useless words. no anger. the calm
OF two men who know what they have
10 do. The athletic attitude of the de-
Tense, one OF the finest OF the manly
body. gives free play TO all the
muscles OF the organism

BOSTON FURNISHES BEST
"WARM-UP" IN NATIONAL

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. s-"Now
that you have worked out In all the
warming-up bull pens in the league,
which do you consider the best?"
Pitcher Nick Cullop. king OF the
warm-ups. didn't hesitate a second be-
fore replying:
The Boston bull pen for mine every
day" cried Nick IT'S the real thing.
It's within "a few feet of third base,
and you can get good view OF the
ball game white warming up. Then
there's a nice shady spot to rest in
when you are waiting for the pitcher
In the box TO show signs OF weakening.
And there's another reason; you
don't have TO SIT on log or mount
of concrete. Boston supplies regular
big league seats for the denizens or
the bull pen, and that goes long
ways toward making one feel at home.
Yes, give me the Boston bull pen.
It's up-to-date."
