Washington, Nov. 26 R-The American penchant for inventin', fxin' and improvin' has the United States patent office backed to the wall.

Bare Fist Battles
 Of the Prize Ring
BY JACK

Copyright. 1926, NEA Service Incl
 I suppose if I were fancy writer l could draw word pictures that would fire the blood and thrill the heart of every mothers son of you Romance. yeu might call it. Ro- nance and color-but to me it was LIFE.
 Rings pitched stealthily in the dead of night. Rich idlers, sons of the aristocracy of early New York and New England, lodging the brass buttons and blue coats of the law to see me fight.
 Bloody battles that lasted twenty thirty. forty and fifty rounds! Men, real he-men with hearts of oak and muscles of steel, jabbing, blocking, covering, flashing out with sudden spurts, backing away cagily. Fights on dirty black barges under the sum mer stars. Hurried flights and all the thrills that make this game the greatest in the world
 I wish I could do justice to this story of my life and to the original

Jack Dempsey and all the great muscular gods of the ring, but if 1 slip a bit now and then and my grammar isn't so good, please re- member I'm doing the best l can, for my heart is in every single word of it.
 I first saw the light of day in one of the prettiest towns in the world Cork. Ireland, March 24, 1866. l came to America in 1871. Settled at Bangor, Me, where my father ran q cooper shop. Later We moved to Cambride, Mass, and I started sell ing papers. In 1879 we moved to the famous Fourteenth Ward" of Brooklyn and all the hardy, lusty little Aiicks from all Ireland, it seemed, lived there.
 I was timid at first but a few sound smacks on the jaw got me going and I became quite scrapper. It those days it didn't mean much to be a good fighter. You had to be the whole works or stay in the rear. Well, I finally whipped everybody in our block but good old Paddy Garrity.
 He was one of the best fighters I ever saw. Naturally good. My size. age and weight.
 My fight with him was the first real big fight of my life It is still vivid in my mind. We met one night under the corner lamp on North Second street
 My, how our pudgy little fists flew. We battled on and on, and SO evenly were we matched till finally the cops broke it up. We met again the next night-and the next-and the next. Each time the fight became bitterer. After each ferocious encounter the cops ran us bowleggcd. We kept that up every night, a gruelling pace, for FIVE NIGHTS!
 On the sixth night Garrity failed 10 show up and I was accepted as champion of the block!
 Editors Note-In the next chap ter McAuliffe tells how he first met the original Jack Dempsey, how he trained with him and how Demp- sey sneaked off to Flushing for a secret fight with the sensational Ed Mcdonald and knocked him out 1 with his bare knuckles in the 27th 1 round.
