INTO two churches. DR.. Broughton has
pulit up reputation during his years
stay In Atlanta for sensational preach
ing that almost RIVALS that OF Sam
Jones.
The trouble in DR.. Brouchton's
church started when he proposed to sell
the present building so as to locate in
II new one where he would be likely to
eaten a larger crowd Part of his con-
gregation mutinied. and at one of The
cnurch meetings when the matter was
under discussion the pastor was openlv
missed by these recalcitrants Then
there We're threats of applying to the
courts to restrain the pastor and his
Ioliowers who were in the majority
from carrying out their plans. Satur-
DAY the two factions got together and
the trouble was settled by selling the

m,cOY-sIIARKEY CONTEST.
NO BETTING YET-SPORTS
DOUBTFUL@CONTEST OF
SCHOOLS

The sporting men of Norfolk have
been watching Mccoy and Sharlley for
some weeks, and have not yet determ-
ined where to place their money. 1t
is believed that it will be Il good, stiff
fight. Y,
1t is generally understood that Nc
Coy is the hitter general and the most
scientific boxer. 1t is also believed
that if he has ability to avoid, and the
strength To- resist, the sailors rushes
and prnlnnG the fight 10 eight or ten
rounds that he is almost certain to
win. This contest in many respects
will resemble the FitZsimmons-C orbett
fight. Sharkey, while not so expert and
wise as the Australian. is q fighter OF
the same school. Like Fitzsmmons, he
believes in the rush, the Knockout
blow and close fighting.
Mccoy belongs 10 an entirely differ
cnt class. He is Il boxer; his fighting
VIII be at long range; his movements
will be rapid, and his blows will, in
the main, be long "jabs." These jabs
defeated sullivan, Peter Jackson and
men much stronger than Corbett, when
he fought them. 1t IS the tactics of the
weaker man in physical strength. This
long-distance fighting requires Il cool
head and a long. stiff left arm.
Information from McCoy'S training
quarters is to the effect that he is TAX
ing on weight rather than taking it
of. This clearly indicates that he is
training for a long fight, in which he
would reasonably lose from three to
five pounds of flesh. Sharkey is thor
ouShiy game, and will more than likely
endeavOr to reach n vital point in the
first rounds. He is likely TO get pretty
well 'jabbed," and then both men will
settle down to serious work. in when
the representatives of the two schools
will contend. The contest takes place
before the Lenox Athletic Club next
Wednesday.
