up another rung on the pugilistic
lader Saturday night when he knock
ed cut Eddie McAuliffe of Denver
in the second round at the Hippo
drome. The termination of the fight
at a time when both boys were fight
ing hard and strong, came with the
suddenness of a thunderbolt from a
clear sky. The fans are still won
dering just where the blow landed
which sen the Denver fighter to the
anvas for the count of 9 and which
really brought about his undoing.
Many say that il landed on his stom-
ach. Others claim the jaw. Eddie
says that it hit him on the Adams
apple and the majority of fans close
to the ringside bear him out in the
explanation.
The blow left him groggy and he
was lucky to get past the first
round. Twice more in this round
Moore SEN him to the canvas and
nc pushed him through the ropes
in his eagerness to put over the ko.
Each time Eddie gamely got to his
feet and hung on, successfully STALL
ing through the round. AS he left
his chair i'm the second round It
was apparent to all that although he
had re%cuperated to a great extent he
was still in q weakened condition.
Trading punch for punch, for a time
- aAoy,oI chat he xrl,1I uAaIIar
through the round. Moore, a mas
ter workman, never wasted a blow.
He drove Eddie into a neutral cor-
ner, wet from the previous fight,
and there McAuliffe went to the can
vas for what will go down in the
record book as a k.o. Eddie claims
that he slipped on the wet, soggy
canvas and that Moore fell on his
knee, twisting it so that he was IN
able to get up although he was not
in a dazep condition. Ringsiders
cay hat Moore hit him in the stom-
ach and fell with the force of the
blow. Others substantiated McAu-
liffe's statement. Eddie was on
crutches yesterday and was orderea
by his attending physician to stay
in bed for a few days. His knee is
undoubtedly in bad shape but many
believe that even %conceding hat the
alleged fall did not happen he could
not have ~weathered the round. Tie
punch in the first round, whether a
lucky one or not, they believe, really
weakened him to such an extent that
. knockout was a mere formality.
Eddie fought a draw with Moo:e
in San Diego a cal e and 1T uOes
seem funny that he didn't rende" a
better account of himself. All cred
l.. however, must go to Moore, WHO
IS a fighter of the first water. Before
NcAuliffe gets another chance at
v.,"re, which he says ne wants, "
~ Ieen suggested th"t fe &c. a
couple of other boys first. This Ed
die is willing to do as he wants to
Justify himself with his many local
admirers whose faith has been sad
" shaken.
Herb White of Stockton Won the
decision over Jack Smith of San
Diego in 10 rounds. Smith is i'm
proving all the time and although he
was outpointed by a wide margin by
White he surprised everybody with
his remarkable showing. White was
a disappointment. 1t was thought
that Smith would be easy pickings
for him and that he would stop the
San Diego battler. Either White has
been greatly overrated or Smith is
coming fast. Smith is a great IA
vorite with the crowd and his fights
warrant his popularity. c. II. Ferry
Officiated as referee and three judges
rendered the decisions.
In the card at Tonorah yesterday
afternoon Roy Moore got a decision
over frankie Malone of San Fran
cisco and the Jack Smith-Kid Harrf-
son battle was declared a draw.
Smith had the better of Harrison in
the opinion of almost all the fans.
Moore gave away eight pounds when
he took on Malone. The fight was
even ND to the seventh round but
from there on Malone weakened per-
ceDtibly and Moore secured the de-
cision by p fairlv large margin. Both
fighters used foul tactics and were
coutiCned several times by Referee
Claude Maxwell, who handled the
fight in accordance with the three
Judge proposition, merely breaking
the mel in the clinches and keep
ing them fighting. Moore was
roundly scored for his fouling by the
crowd and Malone'.. Offenses were
overlooked by all save Referee Max
web Neither Of the boys claimed a
foul and Malone. it is understood,
Is satisfied with the decision.
