GO WITH CARNEY Wonderful Lightweight Went Into Ring III but Stayed j 74 Rounds to Draw. Iiy It. L. JUpley. Did you ever head the story oi Jack McAuliffe's hardest battle? Jack McAullffe, lightweight champion or the world 1n the days when tney fought with bare knuckles or skin tight gloves? ! Jack was ready to sail ror ngiana under the management or boo oy (Ben Benton), where he was booked for six weeks in the music halls. He may stay a year. "I am going to establish a training school for lords and dukes in Lon don." said he. ' "But what about your hardest bat tle?" he was asked. "Hardest!" he cried. "What do you mean naraest. uney were an nam. Take my 6 round draw with Billy Meyer at North Judson, lnd. It was fought in the middle of winter, and the barn in which it was held was freezing cold. I had to walk the streets for two hours before the fight, because I had no place to stay. The crowd was all against me. It was a case, of east vs. west, and I was on the eastern end. Every man at the ringside seemed to have a gun. Meyer Was Tough. "Meyer was a tough boy, and though when George Slier had tried to make him clever, I afterwards stopped htm in 27 rounds. I was mighty glad to get a draw the first time, and to escape with my life. The fiftht was pulled off by Mike Mc Donald, who was the Croker of Chi cago at the time. "Then there was my fight with Jack Hopper, held' at Rockaway in 1886. Hopper was a rough, two handed boy. It was so cold when we fought that they had to thaw Hopper out before we started. A well known sport made a big bet that I would get Hopper by the seven teenth round. And that's just when I did stop him. I had to make 133 for this fight, and hadn't eaten much on the day of the scrap. All through it I was figuring on the big feed I would put away when it was over. Just as I was making for the lunch some one hollered out : 'There goes' the last car!' and still in my fight ings togs I made a run for it, leav ing the eats behind me. Fight With the Britisher. "But the hardest battle? Well, if you must have it, I guess It was that fight with Jem Carney on Nov. 16, 1887, Jttst oatside of Boston. A man's hard battles are often made hard by his poor condition. Such was the case in this instance. . "Jem Carney was a great fighter, and a rough one. He was the best man in England, and just before com ing to this country had killed a boxer, Jimmie Highland, in the ring. We met in a barn about a mile from Cres cent Beach, Mass.. and 100 yards back from the old Atlantic House run by John McKay. Bob Roy staged the bout, and had his arm broken at it, by the way. " Dempsey Against It. "I had been ill for some time be- lore the fight. Dempsey and other friends tried to have me postpone It. but I insisted on fighting. Dr. Peter Hughes, then a well-known Brooklyn physician, who. by the way, attended Senator McCarren, came up to visit me, and said I could not possibly go on with the bout. But I did, and it went 74 rounds to a draw, John Mc- ONLY TWO PLAYERS SCORED MORE THAN RUN PER GAME Only two players, Ressique of the Poughkeepsle team of the New York- New Jersey league, and Outfielder Spencer of the Salt Lake Union Asso ciation club, iscored more than one run per game during the 1913 season.

Only my headwork and ring gen eralship saved me time and time again. I knew too much of ' the scien tific end of the game for Carney, and even in my weakened condition stood him off till the bqut was stopped. I guess it was my hardest battle, all right.

"I will never forget the heartbroken condition i of the great John L. after his defeat by Corbett. It was pitiful. and taught me a lesson that made me avoid fighting that one fight too many when I found myself slipping. "In 1837 I handed my title to George (Kid) Lavigne, and left the ring undefeated. In giving up the title, I said to George: " 'Kid. you have every physical re quirement of, a great champion, but you're a little shy In the beail. Fight carefully.f Lacked Gray Matter.

Since I passed, we have had Lavigne, Erne, Gans, Nelson, Wolgast and. Ritchie. Not an Irishman among 'em. "What ! do I think of the modern fighters?! McFarland is a great man. In every i move he shows the training of Harry Gilmore, his old manager. Ritchie Is a good boy, who shows traces of ; my old pal, Dempsey, in his work. Dempsey did a lot of his early fighting on the Pacific coast and the best boxers from that section show flashes of his famous style. Johnson is a wonder, but I never believed in white men fighting coons. Nor did the other two Irish Jacks, Dempsey and Sullivan. We us,ed ' an axe to 'em. But the present' champion is a great fighter." "What was your favorite punch?"
