Do you recognize thla man? Gray hair, carefully ponapadoured; solitaire diamond ring solitaire diamond pin. Elk's tooth. Elk's lapel button, bowler, spats, cane, large gold teeth, affable manner, rapid conversation -i Yes. that Is the man Mark Shaughnessy. Portly, well dressed, distinguished looking, he called on the writer a few days ago.

The last time this reporter saw him, Mr." Shaughnessy was In a gymnasium in Yonkers, N. just closing a deal fbr 'tha disposal of the contract of Jack McAuliffe, II, a Detroit heavyweight. It was a day or two before Jack McAuliffe. met Luis Angel Firpo, "The Wild Bull of the Pampas," at the Milk Fund boxing In 1923. In the Yankee 'Stadium, when Jack McAuliffe, 'was knocked nut in three rounds, after pecking "The Wild Bull" feverishly with a long left hand for two rounds.

he established SIXTEEN new world records at distances that ranged from three-fourths of a mile to approximately three miles. He ran against every, great runner In America today and one and all were raced into Inglorious defeat by the miraculous runner from Finland. No living human how fast Nurml can run for none ever has put him to the supreme test. Always always In every race that he has run, he has finished wlthouf the slightest show of exertion, far In front of his fields and without drawing a long breath. Since Nurml broke those sixteen records he has run a half dozen other races.

In none has he tried to beat'tho mark he set himself. Only when he has raced against the championship marks of others has Nurml stepped forward a little faster Mr. Shaughnessy'a sale of the contract before the fight attracted some comment, afterwards some criticism. It was charged In soma quarters that Mr. Shaughnessy knew he was disposing of a pugilistic gold brick.

He got about $15,000 from Ben Freedman, of Yonkers, and several associates for the contract. The purse for the Firpo fight, $7,500. went; 1 with the sale. Mr. Shaughnessy Immediately left town, not waiting to1 see the battle.

It was this fact that aroused much of the criticism. TIge Flowers, Uo olored chap from Dixieland, and Jack Pelaney. French-Canuck, are to do the dlfflng act for fifteen rounds, or less in the -Garden ring next Friday night. Sev-' erej weeks ago Delaney put Mistah Flowers horizontally on the floor in two heats. 'A Can he do it againT The boxing public of the country will alt back and wait.

As the hour-draws near for the tiff to go 'on, they will wonder. But it Is queetioev Mr. Flowers is an action fighter only a few local fane know because Flowers did not have the lty to show here when cause of the "advises" and the walls of the' fane the'nighj Flowers was planted on the canvass by' Jack the Giant -V Now 'Flower has contended Delaney had something, in that right hand glove besides his lst for, the way he poked the southern' deacon was a crime. Tiger rushed in where angels have feared' to and when' Jack got the shot he wanted, he and, they counted a-proverbial million Over the prostrate form of the colored poker. The advtaabUlty of Delaney glviiig Flowers another chance is the question before the sport assemblage thin In our opinion Delaney and -hie manager, Pete Rellly, who Is a very Intimate of mine, are making the biggest mistake of their careers.

We -do not fear that Delaney will suffer defeat, BUT we know Jack has an assignment before him that Is more than a man sired Job. "LEFT HANDING" The writer never quite agreed with the theory tfiat Mr. Shaughnessy sold a gold brick. He displayed his goods freely. Everybody had a chance to see Jack McAuliffo, II.

In the gymnasium every day for some time'before the fight. He was a marvel there, no doubt of that. The boxing ex-perts looked at him and raved enthusiastically. They said he was the greatest prospect of the age. One famous expert, in large headlines, picked McAuliffe, on the strength of his gymnasium workouts, to whip Firpo in three rounds.

There was nothing in McAullffe's record to Indicate he was "phoney." True, he had mot no real good men. but he had handily defeated many third, fourth and ninth raters. Some of the ablest judges of boxers In the country had pronounced him a rare find. Among them was none, other than James J. Corbett, one-time heavy weight champion of the world.

Mr. Corbett had seen Jack McAuliffe II. several, times In Detroit, had boxed with him, coached him, He thought Jack McAuliffe II. a real whlzzer. In fact It was with Mr.

Corbett that the writer went to the Yonkers gymnasium to see Jack McAuliffe II. Mr Corbett had heard that Jack McAuliffe II. was on the market. He had It In mind to make a small bid. When Delaney came here fresh from his victory, over Berienbach.

Collma, Moody and Flowers, the fans expected" hiw with a single punch. Jack- didn't, because he evidently Meb-be' he went etale possibly his plan of attack was given to a setback In the method of defensivnees of his colored opponent, i 4 i But too much was expected ol him. it may be a -week tonight' -Tbo fans of New York saw Jack etop the Tigerish sushee- the Tiger. They saw Jack, the Otaht Killer, lay the tiger low; And they will expect ft again. If Delaney fails, the world will say it was a lucky punch.

It Is almost a sure bet Mr. Walk Miller and Tiger Flo wem will ay the poke in that laacond aeaalon vu tuat one of those things. and on to world's record time. In all history no man has run so many races, over such a variety of distances i and under such antagon istic conditions as has Nurml. Yet this terrific campaign that he has waged has neither dulled his speed, sapped his vitality or lessened his endurance.

He's as full of record smashing runs today, after running about twenty-five races In a month as he was when he arrived1 on these shores. What golfer can play almost every day, smash one or two records daily and be In superb condition when a month is done? What tennis star can play matches dally against cham pions, defeat them all and be fit and ready, Vhen thirty days of such strife are over, to repeat? What swimmer can fracture a world's record every time he tries for a solid mantWsud. -recor 4, form at the end 7 What pitcher in balldom can work every day for thirty days, make a new record almost every day and be filled with durability when its all over? What boxer can fight every day and defeat i-very opponent for a solid month and still be able to rise to greater heights? Apply the test to shot putters, to pole vaulters, to foctball players, tj bllliardlsts, to athletes In any branch of athletics and none can be found who will stand up under it. What runner, in the annals of the gamo has come within a million times of doing what Nurml has done? Doesnt that, therefore. make Nurml stand forth as the suner- athlete of all time modern and ancient? MURRAY AND PINCUS FIGHT FURIOUSDRAW New York, N.

Shaughnessy's motive for disposing of a possible championship contender, gazed upon Jack McAuliffe, and noted a hir.tic flush on his dark cheeks. 'TW tne Shaughnessy'sMdea. A hectic flush sometimes is lndlvatlve of 111 health. Again It may be due to something entirely different. The writer called Mr.

Corbett's attention to the hectic flush. Mr. Corbett. like the writer. Immediately diagnosed the heatlo flush as due to Illness.

He will be Interested in hearing from' Mr. Shaughnessy the exact nature of the hectic flush. "It probably was rouge," 8ay Mr. Shaughnessy. "McAuliffe somcHmes tinted his cheeks.

I don't know why. I don't know why fighters do a lot of things. Physically he wo perfectly sound." "I didn't sell McAuliffe's contract because I had any doubt as to his fighting ability. I sold it because I was disgusted with him. He had gotten out of hand.

"I honestly thought he would whip Firpo. If you remember he was beating Firpo until ha got smart and tried to stand up and trade punches with the Wild Bull. McAuliffe knew how to box and he should have kept boxing. "Perhaps I made a mistake not waiting over and going Into hie corner. But he had his feet under my table for three years, and I had struggled and labored in his behalf only to find he was doing things that weren't fair to me.

"That soured mi on him. Maybs I was tired out traek sore, you might call it, aftar all my work. I used to box with him myself when I was schooling him and he broke my ribs for me twice. "I didn't want to have any more to do with him, and I seized the opportunity to sell my contract with him and get back some of the money I spent on him. We parted the best of friends, and I think he was secretly glad to get away from me because he could then do things he khew that I wouldn't permit.

"I was surprised when Frrpo beat him. Mavbe the psychological effect of my presence in his corner, my advice, would have helped him. But I firmly believed he would win and go on and make a lot of money for his new handlers. "I still think McAuliffe might be made a good fighter," Mr. Shaughnessy went on.

He'e only twenty-four. He hasn't beeen beaten up to any extent. He ought to be better than most of the heavyweights around right now. "I never doubted hia gamenese. I've seen him take heavy floggings, and rever quit.

A nicsr, boy never lived when I first got him. Then he fell in love." Here Mr. Shaughnessy sighed heavily. "Love." said Mr, 8haughnessy, "is a terrible thing for a young fighter. It makes them uncertain.

Jack McAuliffe, fell In love. Yes, he changed. "He is married now and back in Detroit," Mr. Shaughnessy con- tinued. "Marrisos is a great settler.

I have no doubt it will be a fine thing for Jack McAuliffe. 2nd. "My in him as a fighter has never been completely shaken. As a matter of fact, I have it in. mind to take him back and prove to the world that he is Just as Bood as I alwaya contended, and my contentions, as you may remember, were varjratrong.

"I know him. I understand him. He knows me. He understands me. I think he can fight.

Don't be surprised if when next you hear from me it will be with Jack McAuliffe, 2d, well on his way to the world's championship." The writer premised he wouldn't a if l- Frank G.

Petersburg, Fla- highly esteemed by local gentle? men of the press as champlons-i n-pros-pect for 1925. The -writer does not concur these findings. He Is pleased to believe that the Yankees shot their bolt when they failed to win their fourth Straight pennant last year. Time has placed Its inevitable hall mark upon many an honest countenance and as they move about, each cracking joint sends out a plaintive call' for help. The Yankees lack that school girl complexion.

The worthy Miller Hueglns has sensed the situation from: a-far and in the mm pie. squad of forty at the camp will be many called youths. However, he probably will open the aeason with the same lineup that finished the 1(24 campaign. I have selected, off hand, 18 men who. In all likelihood, will form the first string array and find that their average age is 30 years.

In base ball one often becomes a demi-antlque at thirty. Only six of the 18 selected, to wit: Joe Dugan, Aaron Ward, 28; Whltey Witt, 26; Bob Meusel, 28; Waite Hoyt, 25; and Earl'Cpmbs 23, remain on the sunny side of base ball's invisible deadline and of these, Combs is the only one who comes xm der the" heed'Of Others, in spite of their tender years have been around for quite some time. Dugan, for example, came up to the Athletics eight years ago, Ward has been with the Yankees since 1918; Witt with the Athletics since 1916, while Hoyt got a jrial with the Giants nine years ago, at tne age of 16. An exception is Meusel who came up in 1920 and apparent lv still faces a long straight road. But some of the, others are poalr tlvely Wally Schang broke in 1 vears ao and Is X6 years oia.
