In fact, they were the most prominent fighters. They absolutely dominated the fistic affairs of this continent, if not all over the world. That was dyring the period when John L. Sullivan wore the heavyweight crown, Jack Demp- sey the middleweight, Jack Me- Auliffe the lightweight, Ike O'Neil Weir the featherweight and Jimmy Barry the bantam. Dempsey, McAuliffe and Weir were natives of old Ireland, while Sullivan and Barry were born in the United States of good, honest Irish parents. To-day there are only two champions of Hibernian blood-- Johnny Killbane, the featherweight chief chief, and Mike O'Dowd, boss of the middleweights. There are still, however, a few ring battles of Irish blood who are fighting hard and gamely for pugil- istic honors. Some of the notable battles in the ring of Irish blood are Bill Brennan, who gave Jim Coffey such a hard fight recently, and would probably have stopped Ros. cise in their motor cars and the play- they draw for so doing. | golfers, paid coaches teams, professional reinsmen and iockeys and professional automobile drivers would be apt to forego the yleasures and thrills their exercises unless the financial re- turns were adequate.
