Detroit is of the opinion that II has
a fine piece OF heavyweight champion
ship timber in the person OF Jack Nc
Auliffe. Frank S. Cooke, secretary Of
the Michigan Trotting Horse Breeders
Association, writes as follows about the
discovery:
This big boy Jack McAuliffe is the
best piece OF comparatively raw mate
rial have ever seen. He is not stealing
! name, for he was chrsteaed John
Henry McAuliffe. and was born here
twenty years ago last fall. When a
baby his folks moved to the Canadian
Northwest. and he came back here last
year.
Mark Shaughnessy picked w this
boy q little over 4 year ago. worked
with him for months, than went 10 the
coast, where he had a number OF try
outs.
"Dr. Garbutt, who is examiner at the
local clubs, says McAulifse ls perfect
physically He stands 5 feet 3 inches
chest expanded 4S inches waist 81
inches, full span SS inches. and he
weighs 1875 pounds Shaughnessy has de-
| veloped speed In the boy and he Is as
fast as Corbett was. And he can hit as
| hard as any man ! ever have seen. mo
saw Maher, Mccoy, Fitzsimmons and
Sharkey in action. or course Shaugh-
messy is too wise TO take any chance
! with McAuliffe against fellows like
Brennan, Martin and the like, although
In Saginaw. where they have fought the
fans say McAuliife can beat them"
Willard Stuart, manager OF Eddie
lO'Dowd who made a good fight against
Johnny Buff. writes:
"O'Dowd and are leaving for Colunn.
bus, where he is to close for a match
against some flyweight the promoters
there are 70 select. After few days
We win return to good old New York.
Before leaving l want TO thank you
for the splendid treatment you have
accorded Eddis since his arrival here
for the BufY battle. Coming here an
| unknown boxer. without the blare of
trumpets. and receiving the splendid
treatment such as he has made him
feel that he was among friends and
well wishers.
And ! am as much pleased, too. that
I O'Dowd made hosts of friends In the
Garden on Monday night against Bur.
He entered the ring with the determina-
\ ton OF giving his best. There arc no
alibis nor any arguments ~ to what
\ he could have done, but there II this
much certain, when Bun and o'Dowd
again meet there win be q different
story to tell. The score viii at least
/ be evened on the next meeting, IL II
Is no worse than that for Buff. And
the thousands OF friends here among
| fight fans can rest assured that Eddie
will always try 10 retain their good
win and admiration whenever he climbs
| through the ropes Of New York ring"
