sHARKEY--M'COY.
Articles of Agreement for 2o-round
Bout Signed YESTERDAY.

New York, Dec. S.-Articles of agree
ment for a 2O-round boxing contest be-
tween Tom Sharkey and Kid Mccoy
to take place at the Lenox Athletic
Club, this city, Jan. TO- were signed
today by both principals. The men
are to box for purse of $4,000 and 50
per cent of all receipts exceeding $40,
600. Tim Hurst was mutually chosen as
referee.
The winner is to take rs per cent of
the purse of $4,000 put up by the Lenox
Athletic Club, and each principal is to
have half of the so per cent of the
gate receipts in excess Of $4,000. In
order that the fight may not result in
a fiasco like the Sharkey Corbett af-
fair the interference of any Of the
fighters seconds or their invasion of
the ring will not stop the contest. Any
second or outsider who tries to invade
the ring during the contest will be ar
rested and expelled from the club
house. The men will box under Queens
berry rules, with the exception that
they will not be permitted to hit in
clinches or breaKaways.
After the fighters had signed the ar
ticles of agreement, Sharkey and Tom
O'Rourke his manager, went up town
to meet Corbett by appointment. When
Corbett heard that the fight had been
arranged between Mccoy and Sharkey
he said Il wish you luck, Sharkey. /

meet you again just to prove to the
public who is the better man. / don't
wish to play second fiddle to anybody.
so l will go to the Pacific coast and try
my luck with Jeffries. l hope you will
beat Mccoy"
Corbett then sent a dispatch 10 his
brother in California, saying: "Shakey
and Mccoy matched here. | will take
on Jeffries. Match me to meet him in
February"
O'Rourke and Corbett had long talk
as to the promised meeting Of Sharkey
and the big Californian, and O'Rourke
said that a bout between them had
better take place on the coast rather
than in the east

time.
In the first heat they came down to-
gether in good shape, and it was diff
cult to tell which had the advantage
in the short quarter they went before
the new horse broke. The second time
they got in gear they came down the
path like pair Of young whirlwinds,
and the man who could tell the result
is q star in his line
The friends Of both nags claim that
their favorite was a sure winner in an
Other quarter, but it is safe to say that
no fair and conclusive contest of their
merits was had yesterday.
Mr. Taylor did not stay on the path
long enough after the second brush to
get another one on, and it will take at
least another meeting to settle the SUI
premacy
But the Taylor-Fros brush was not
the only one that came off There were
dozens of impromptu heats and lots of

ternoon. The first time he was behind

their cause or they would have been
buried yet.
In South Worcester the crossWalks
are in the same fearful condition that
characteriZes them in other portions OF
the city. Nearly all of them are sunk
about six inches below the level of the
rest of the road and where they are
not as slippery as glass they are mimi
ature canals in which the water stands
deep enough to flow over the tops of
ones shoes. The cutters are nowhere
cleaned out, and when the thaW comes,
as it will with a rush, the streets Will
be seas that will overflow their con-
fines and flood cellars by the hundreds.
But the position of the street depart
ment has been defined on the fight with
the street railway, and there will be
no more trouble till the next snow
comes. SO the public should make no
complaint and be thankful for it's many
blessings. The street department has
won a glorious victory in the game of
tag in the snow drifts, and the public
has some of the best skating Kinks Of
the country all over the city, where
there is no charge for learning to do
fancy tricks on the back of ones head
and no lack of transportation to the
infrmary.

Miller Maintaining Lead in
SiX-day Race.

New York, Dec. Strings were quiet
at Madison Square Garden between
and tonight, but with the increase of
the crowd, the riders seemed to be in
spired with new life and moved more
quickly around the oval Shortly af-
ter o'clock Miller left the track
Waller fell from his wheel half an
hour later. overcome by drowsiness. He
was taken from the track, but re-
turned within an hour. Meanwhile,
Miller had gained nearly ten miles on
him, the latter returning just ten min
Gtes after Waller had been let out. At
s o'clock Waller was but six laps ahead
of Miller. Between and o'clock
Pierce and Miller were about ten miles
apart.
Eddie Bald's tandem pacemakers
came on the track at 8 o'clock and
Waller tackled on and stayed with them
at a marvellous pace for mile or
more. Then Bald mounted his wheel
for half-mile exhibition. On the first
turn, however, his tire looseped and
Bald was thrown heavily. He received
bad shaking up, but apparently was
not injured. Bald took a rest and
then gave an exhibition, going a half
in 1:03.
Edouard Taylore the French cham
piOn, went two miles behind the motor
cycle, manned by Henri Fourier ex-
champion of France, in 1853 40.
Up to o'clock tonight Waller had
spent Is hours, AZ minutes off the track:
Miller, 10 hours, so minutes; Pierce, Is
hours, l minute; Albert, - hours, IS
minutes
Harry Elkes of Glens Falls rode two
miles in 413 3-5.
Teddy Hale, the veteran rider, left
the track about 1 o'clock. 1t was said
by Tony Johnson, his trainer, shortly
afterwards, that Hale was disheartened
and was reluctant about going on the
track again. Hale then had 1857 miles
to his credit Teddy Edwards later
had talk with Hale and finally in
duced him to make another effort
Plasters were put on the Irishman S
hands and he again mounted riding
after the others at good pace. He
seemed strong enough to ride many
miles yet.
Arthur Gardiner of Chicago, paced by
a petroleum motor cycle, rode a mile
in 2;09 and two miles in 4:21. Nat But
Ter Of Boston caught Tom Cooper of De-
troit in 1012 laps, in a pursuit race.
Time, 2:21.
The four leaders in the six-day event
struggled continuously for the lead.
With the exception of Forster and
Waller, the riders are outstanding their
strength and make few lengthy spurts.
Pierce rides a steady pace only, seldom
increasing his speed when pushed by
his opponents. Waller had several
brushes with Miller, who was trying to
get back to the lead, during the af-
ternoon, and the garden rang with
cheers. Waller. however. managed to
hold his man and keep the lead.
Pierce held his steady clip that ap-
peared to be at the ra>e of between 16
and is miles an hour.
