SELF DEFENCE.

McCov's claim to the heavy weight
championship of the world is the finn
scst thing Of its kind that ever made its
appearance in pugilism. McCoys fax
ing tactics deceive no one, from New
York to San Francisco The man has
no following. and while it is conceded
that in all probability he is entitled to
the middle weight championship of the
world. he has not the nerve Of Fitzsim-
mons, Maher, Sharkey or Jeffries. Nc
Coy represents the Corbert type, which
has disgusted many persons with boxing
and it's alleged champions OF today.
Once more has Sharkey secured a
draw by foul tactics, Referee Green be-
ing positively obliged to stop his 60 with
Joe Choynski in San Francisco last night
in the eighth round owing to the
public demonstration against the sailors
disgusting methods. All through the
preliminary rounds Choynski showed
some clever work, in which qulckness
and cool head combined to thwart the
brutal lnnges of the would be aspirant to
pugilistic fame. Fouls were repeatedly
committed during the early stage of the
game and were unnoticed by
Referee Green until the action OF the
spectators in the eighth round ended the
affair.

It will be about 33 feet long and nearly

as he had some things there to be insured.
When we arrived at his home he showed
me 100 boxes of cigars, which he wanted in

making 10000 in all, and were valued at ten
cents each, so I insured the lot for 81, OOO
A few. days ago the man came to Inc and
asked for the insurance money. You've had
no fire at your house, 1 replied: No, but
I've smoked them said he, and according
to the paper, I am entitled to the money,
as it reads distinctly that if the goods are
consumed by fire money is paid on applica-
tion.' As far as technicalities were con-
cerned he was all right, but I knocked him
