Joe Gans (23-1-2) retained his LBA Lightweight title with a DRAW15 against #9 Jack McAuliffe (21-4-2).

Gans got off to a slow start and appeared to be on his way to losing his title.
After 9 rounds I had it 87-85 in favor of McAuliffe. Then Gans got hot and won the next five rounds. Battling through a left eye that started swelling in the 3rd.

McAullife sensing he was losing came out strong in the 15th, dropping Gans and then pummeling the champ on the ropes until the round ended. Many in the crowd thought the knockdown was enought to unseat the champion. Everyone saw the fight differently.

I had 143-142 Gans. Tom Trunzo ringside had it 143-142 McAuliffe. The official judges had it 144-141 Gans/143-143/ and 145-140 McAuliffe.

Gans just laughed when asked about a rematch after the fight.

On the undercard

LW - Will Curley (8-1) TKO10 Patsy Sweeney (Curley stepping up to LW for this win)
HW - Peter Courtney (4-1) UD6 Henry Higgans (6-15) (Courtney fought as a beginner in this club fight)
LW - Charley White (4-1) UD6 Sean McCann (TC) (0-6) (White fought as a beginner in this club fight)
HW - Tony Ross (6-4) UD8 Joe Hess (1-20) ( Ross fought pre-prime for this club fight)
HW - Tom Hinch (5-14-2) DRAW10 Chris Pearson (2-9-1) (Pearson fought as a HW in this club fight)
