desperate rounds had been 1ough1. InI
had been very bitter feelings between tnt
contestants since the fight between them IL
a private club room in this city IN Apr
last. About 200 sporting men OF Boston
and vicinity started at an early hour iol
the station on the Eastern railway. Iht
ring was pitched in the center OF a large
room. Mccoy was in first-class condition
and weighed 142 pounds, and LaBiache
weighed ITO pounds. James Colvllle was
referee. The fight vas Of the average brutal
nature, and both were badly punished.
IN THE FIRST ROUND
McCoy's face was badly cut, the blood no"
ing in a stream from his wounds. Mccoy
was knocked down in the third round, and
he responded by flooring his antagonist.
On the whole Mccoy had the best OF the
first round. At the end Of The round the
friends OF Mccoy claimed that LaBlanche
had butted Mccoy and claimed d ioul,
which the referee disallowed, although 1t
was a just one. The men SPARED cautiously
for nearly ten seconds at the beginning OF
THE sECoND ROUND
and both showed science in f%einting. La
Blanche led with his left and attempted to
get in a tremendous right that Mccoy was
lucky enough to escape by ducking. A
clinch followed in which Mccoy was bested,
and after the contestants were ordered to
separate by the referee they did some won
derful short arm fighting, and blow after
blow was exchanged between the men at
short range and the blood began to flow
from cuts on their heads and faces. La
Blanche had much the best OF this round.
The men had no sooner come together in
THE THIRD
than Mccoy got in a staggering blow on
La Blanche's neck, and for moment it
looked as if La Blanche was whipped, but
he rushed upon his opponent like a mad
man, and sent in blows with terrible velocity
knocking down the guard OF Mccoy. The
man from Bridgeport recovered in a
moment and returned La Blanche's blows
by planting his right upon the latters' face.
La Blanche sent in an upper cut that sent
Mccoy against the ropes and a clinch fol-
the clinch McCoy's second again claimed
that his man was fouled, and he appealed
to the referee for a decision. The referee
decided that there was no foul. The round
closed with Mccoy landing his left on
La Blanche's neck and the latter r%ecipro-
Gated by striking his opponent a hara blow
under the rye. The contestants were rather
broken at the beginning OF
THE FOURTH ROUND,
yet Mccoy appeared the fresher OF the two.
This round from the first to the last was
the tamest OF the fight. Near the conclu-
sion LaBlanche, who had been reserving his
strength for a sudden onslaught, rushed
upon his opponent and with a terrible
right-hander knocked him completely off
his feet. Mccoy came up smiling, but
further proceedings were stopped, it is said,
by the police. The fight was to have been
one OF eight rounds.
