STOPPED IN THE SIXTH.
McAnliffe Declared Winner in the Light
weight Champion Fight.
THE POLICE INTERFERED.
Betting 1 in Favor of the American—A
Lively Battle as Long as it Lasted.
Gibbons a Very Angry Man.
Hoboken, N. J., Sept. 11.— Sport
ing men say that no prize fight in
the country ßiuee the great battle
between Dempsey and Fitzsimmons
attracted such universal interest
as the light weight championship
match between Jack McAuliffe and
Austin Gibbons at the Granite As3o
ciation club rooms tonight. It was
stopped by the police in the sixth
round, and Referee Jere Dunn
awarded the fight to McAulffe,
amid much excitement. A great
crowd was present at the battle.
Before the fight McAuliffe was the
favorite at odds of 100 to 80 and
100 to 70, but the bets were in
small amounts. When the men
were weighed in McAuliffe tipped
the beam at just the limit, 135
pounds, while Gibbons weighed
130^. Gibbons was warmly re
ceived bv the crowd when he came
out, but it was nothing to the
applause that greeted McAuliffe.
Time was called at 9:30. From
the beginning McAuliffe forced
matters. He went over to Gibbons'
corner and smashed away there.
Gibbons countered a couple of
times and when the round was over
things were about even.
McAuliffe had the best of the
second round. He got in a couple
of his noted straight-arm right
handers and cut Gibbons badly
under the left eye. Gibbons re
turned a fine right-hunder and Jack
retaliated.
When the third round opened,
Gibbons was looking all right again,
but one more dash at his cheek re
opened the cut and the blood
flowed freely. He was very game
and went at McAuliffe with a rush.
Here McAuliffe showed his shifty
tactics to great advantage, jumping
away from Gibbons' rushes with
. the nimbleness of a cat, and then
coming back viciously. There
were some good blows exchanged.
There were several clinches in
the fourth round and it seemed as
though McAuliffe was as willing to
rest as Gibbons; but when ho broke
away though, he renewed his attack
without any sign of weakness; his
two hands were flying on Gibbons'
body fast, but the latter succeeded
in dodging two of McAuliffe's leads
for his head. Gibbons also planted
a rattling right-hander on McAu
liffe's cheek. McAuliffe had much
the best of the round, however.
In the fifth, McAuliffe had his
man fairly dazed. He delivered
two right-handers on Gibbons' jaw
and the recipient tottered a little.
McAuliffe thought he had him then,
but Gibbons was not done yet. As
McAuliffe came at him over in his
own corner, Gibbons let go his right
in a swinging blow and caught
him full under the jaw. McAuliffe
fell back two steps and for a mo
ment looked as though he were
going to fall, but ho managed to
recover. He apparently intended
to finish Gibbons about that time,
but the little obstruction noted
caused him to change the pro
gramme. The round ended with
sparring.
When time for the sixth was
called Gibbons came up surpris
ingly fresh. McAuliffe immedi
ately smashed his left cheek again,
opening the wound and there was
another stream of blood. Gibbons
was not, however, badly winded.
He made a crack at McAuliffe's
head, but missed and then Jack
went at him once more. A clinch
followed and the men were pound
ing each other at close quarters,
when Police Captain Hayes made
his way through the ropes and
declared the fight must stop.
There was great confusion, and
efforts were made to patch up peace
with the authorities, but it was no
use. Then the audience expected
to hear the referee say he would
have to make it a draw, but he did
not; he shouted loudly, "McAuliffe
has won." Gibbons was very mad.
Ho shouted out, "This decision is
given against me because I have a
little blood on my face. It's out
rageous. I'm not defeated. I
could go on fighting this way for
two hours, and I'm ready to do it."
Later in the evening Gibbons
sought out Referee Dunn and pro
tested. Dunn said he could not
change his decision, that it had to
go and that settled it.
The general opinion among
thoughtful sporting men as ex
pressed late tonight is that the de
cision was unfair to Gibbons, on
the ground that the articles of
agreement called for a finish fight
and there was no finish. It is not
often that the winner of a fight
weeps on hearing the decision, but
it is said that is what McAuliffe
did.
SPORT LOVING OFFICIALS.
Convicts at the Idaho Penitentiary In
dulge in the Manly Art.
Iioise Statesman.
Burglars and bruisers is a com
bination expected at penitentiaries,
and Idaho seems to possess its
quoto of each. It is not generally
expeoted that the burglar will
burgle or the bruiser bruise while
confined in prison for the expiation
of his crime, and the people of
Idaho will hear with some little
surprise that the state penitentiary
at Boise has recently been con
ducted as a kind of training school
for pugilists. It will create almost
as much surprise as if the word
was given that Fagan was conduct
ing a school for pickpockets at that
place, or the art of safe cracking
was taught with practical illustra
tions. But Idaho must learn the
news. Notwithstanding the dis
grace it will cast upon her escutch
eon, the announcement is made
that within the past few months
several fistic encounters have oc
curred there with the full consent of
the officers, and in one of them the
guards acted as time keepers, while
other officers watched the pugilists
bruise each other in "good shape."
The facts, as narrated by a reliable
person who claims to know, are
that the prisoners, who have been
having boxing matches for some
tune, concluded to have a finish
fight, and a convict named Dick
Dunlap was matchcd with another
convict named MeCreary. The
fight came off and the latter was
badly whipped, being quite ill
afterwards for a number of hours.
Of course tastes grow with indul
gence, and Dunlap having blos
somed into a victorious pugilist,
his friends challenged that part of
the earth inclosed by the stockade
walls. Some of the prisoners (pre
sumably only prisoners) concluded
that a young Englishman, some
such name as Braithwaito, could
easily "do up" Dunlap, and a
match waB made. The contestants
immediately went into training
and the partisans of each party
began to make bets, the prisoners
wagering such little trinkets as
they had been able to make in the
prison. After a week of training
the fight occurred back of the car
penter shop one Sunday morning
about a month ago, prisoners,
guards and other officials forming
an interesting group of spectators.
The fight was a fast and furious
one, Duulap proving to be no match
for his agile and scienced opponent,
who hit him about when and where
he pleased, bruising him up shame
fully and at last knocking him
completely out, It is narrated
that the gloves used by liraith
waite were dripping with blood,
and Dunlap's face was a mass of
gore. He was marked up for sev
eral days. The contest was of a
brutal character that even the
guards were appalled, and no simi
lar amusements have been allowed
since. It is also stated that on the
same day foot races were indulged
in by the convicts, an officer of the
institution being the starter, and
the convicts, or such of them that
possessed valuables, betting on
their favorite sprinter. Altogether,
as the report comes to the States
man, it would seem that an inves
tigation is badly needed, and the
attention of the commissioners is
called to the necessity. If this is
not done, sometime a scandal may
be unearthed there that will de
cidedly difficult to explain.

Application for Pardon.
To all Whom it may Concern:
Notice is lipr u liy given tluit an application will
be made to the Hoard of Tardons of the State of
Idaho, at the regular meeting of said hoard on
the first Wednesday in October 18Ü1, for the par
don of Joseph Atchison now conllned In the
State Penitentiary at iioise City. The said
Joseph Atchison was tried and convicted at the
Spring term of the District Court of the Second
Judicial District of Idaho In and for Ada county,
of the crime of assault with intent to commit
murder upon the person of one Ed. Abbott at tiie
Town of Payette, in Ada county, Idaho. The
reason for clemency in this application isthat
the said Joseph Atchison was jnstilied in the
assault for which lie was convicted, from the
fact that the said Abbott was, at the time of the
said assault, pursuing the said Atchison with a
knife, and threatening to kill him -
