McAuliffe Knocks Out Glover in the Forty-Ninth Round

San Francisco, May 22 - Glover and McAuliffe met in the California Athletic Club rooms to fight to a finish. The men were called at 11 o'clock. In the first two rounds there was cautious sparring, and no hard blows were struck. In the following three rounds but little fighting was done. In the fifth Glover landed his right heavily on McAuliffe's nose, which swelled badly. In the eighth Glover got in two clever blows on McAuliffe's face and got away. Hard fighting characterized ten rounds. Glover got in a terrific right-hander, but McAuliffe returned it with odds. At the conclusion of the round Glover seemed fresher. In the eleventh round Glover rushed and reached McAuliffe's wind. A clinch followed. Glover got in his arm work, weakening McAuliffe. In the twelfth round McAuliffe had far the best, giving Glover a heavy blow on the eye. He pushed him to the ropes, hit him about the head, dazing Glover considerably. In the thirteenth round McAuliffe gained first blood with a cut over Glover's eye with a terrific right-hander. Twice in the fifteenth round Glover landed heavily on McAuliffe's wind. The latter tried to return the blows, but Glover kept out of the Californian's reach.

The sixteenth round was an exciting one. Glover sent his left hand hard on McAuliffe's wind. The latter got angry, rushed at Glover and gave him a series of terrific blows on the face. In the seventeenth McAuliffe led for Glover and caught him on the neck and knocked him down fairly. In the eiguteenth McAuliffe received a telling blow in the ribs. He recovered quickly, and planted a hot hander on Glover's chin, but failed to follow his advantage. The twenty-second round nearly terminated Glover's chances. He led for McAuliffe's wind as usual and fell short. McAuliffe shot out his long right and landed square on Glover's chin, badly dazing the latter. McAuliffe followed up his advantage and pounded his opponent unmercifully about the face until time was called. In the forty-ninth round McAuliffe was declared the winner.
