Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-05-08

Jim Corbett defeated Sullivan and
George Dixon knocked out Jack

battle of his surely famous career.
He won other fights and harder
fights, but his fight with Meyers
brought him more notoriety more
money and more followers than any

previously scored. Mac" is looking
hale and hearty and his monologue,
dealing with the champions of the
past, is well told and well received.
hadn't seen McAuliffe since that
July day in Reno, when johnson
belted Jeffries into submission. He
was full of fight and talk then and
he hasn't changed. If anything, he
is. even more interesting.
