V, Detroit, Feb. 19.—Detroit has vis ions of another world’s heavyweight champion pugilist. A big fellow, who is at present being groomed to take the place once occupied in the realm of fistiana by its other native son, Tommy Burns. The chap referred to is Jack M¢ Auliffe, protege of Mary Shaughnes- sy, who in the two years he has been in the game has come to the from with such rapid ssriges that he al- ready looms up as one of the most dangerous men in the division McAuliffe has all the requisites that go to make a real fighter. He is a young giant, standing 6 fect 1 inch, and weighs 200 pounds He is only 22 years old, but is a marves of physical perfection. For a bit fellow he is exceptionally fast, and he has the tremendous shoulders of the athlete and the tapering waist. His chest is larger, when expanded, than that of Jess Williard, despite the fact that the former champion outweighs him by 50 pounds. McAuliffe is also the possessor of [an exceedingly long left arm, which is said by critics to be the fastest and sturdiest lett in heavyweight circles, ,Certainly @ is the longest, longer even than the well-knowr. reach of Williard. ie To date, McAuliffe has engaged in 16 bouts, of which all but one were won by the knockout route. The Rival of Jack hol only man he failed to topple was Floyd Johnson, at present one of the leading contenders for Jack Demp- sey’s crown McAuliffe couldn’t hand Johnson a_ sleep-producing punch, but he gained the verdict in six rounds. With the exception of Tom O'Neil, who managed to last seven sessioas, most of McAuliffe’s opponents hav2 hit the canvass after two or three rounds of battling. All told, his 16 bouts have averaged but a bit more than three rounds to the fight. A most remarkable record considering the class of men he has met, and the! Bhort time he has been at the gamc, No less an authority than Jim Cor. | bett aeciares that McAuliffe seem certain to reach the heights of pugil- istic fame within ‘v.e next two years. “T believe,” says Corbett, “that, bar- ring accidents, McluAiffe will be the champion of the world. He has everything necessary—youth, speed, and courage, He is the fastest and cleverest big man f have ever seen.” And coming from a man like Cor- bett that’s praise aplenty. Shaughnessy, however, doesn’t fig- ure on making the mistake many others have made by,matching hn pupil with the top-notchers in a hurry. On the other hand, he plans on biding his time, grooming Mc- Auliffe, sloyly and carefully, with a} crack at: the title as the inevitable goal. Pitching horseshoes is becoming «. mighty popular sport with the young and old. Even the fair sex have gone in over the scoring rules. In ordeg to settle all arguments as to scoring, the official rules on that feature of the game are given. the opponent's they shall score two (2) points. A ringer Points, A ringer and a closest shoe shall score four (4) points. A double ringer shall score six (6) points and is the highest score a contestant can make. In case of each contestant having a ringer, the next closest shoe shal! shall score three (3) pitchers using the spitball should be permitted to contenue same during their major league career. Oniy abou a dozen still remain in the majors. * Se Then came the introduction of the lively ball. The livély ball plus the elimination of freak pitching, made for much more hitting. In fact, so much more that the making of home run has become a fad rather than a feat. Fast ball pitching is made to order for the batter with the lively ball in use. It soon became evident to the pitchers that they must mix them up. A slow balt is now a part of every successful big leagag pisenpe: 3 repertoire. ee ee ee erat es Nn nO AY SE ea Settle All Horseshoe Argubsiits By Getting Wise to Scoring Rules core and all such ringers shall be credited as ringer, pitched but not counted ag a score. ringer, botf double ringers are can- celed and no points scored.
