New York is reeking with pipe stories"
anent the big fight tonight between Mccoy
and Sharkey. The change of front chron-
icled as being exhibited by the warm adj
mirers of the principals would fill a book.
1t is always thus on the eve Of a big fistic
battle, and precedent will bear out the as
sertion.
Some uneasiness has developed among
the followers of iistic contests by the atti-
tude assumed by Mccoy on the question
of hitting in clinches. Mccoy says that
under clause IS of the agreement that lie
and Sharkey signed for the tight tonight
neither can hit while the other has hold of
him and that the holding constitutes d
clinch. McCoy's position is said to be at
variance with an expressed understanding
at the time the articles were signed. and
while agreeing with the letter of the arti-
cles is declared to be contrary TO their
spirit.
The verbal agreement, it is represented.
was that d mar might hit so long as both
hands were free. That Mccoy should have
raised the issue on the eve of the great
battle IS regarded as an evidence that &c
is not SO sure that he will be able to cope
with the sailor at all points of the game.
If the articles are carried out to the let
ter, all either man will have to do. II he
hand on the others shoulder; this would,
according to the articles, constitute a
clinch. Article 13 reads:
1t is agreed that when one contestant
is holding the other. or when either con-
testant is holding the other. such act or
acts shall constitute a clinch. and it is
further agreed that it shall be the referees
duty to see to it that the contestants are
separated when so clinched."
That there is room for broad interpre-
tation is freely admitted and the oppor-
tunities for claiming the fight on a foul
are manifold. But Sharkey and O'Rourka,
his manager, say they will insist upon ad-
herence to the verbal agreement, while
Mccoy says that nothing but what is writ

George Considine, Corbett's manager, is
quoted as saying. that he will back the
sailor and is ready 10 wager $500 to 81, tO
that Mccoy will be the under dog in the
fight. Considine has been touted as being
a hot admirer of the Indiana kid.
Tom O'Rourke has made two big bets.
The first one is with Joe Vendig, the book
maker-S9O0 to $1,000 on Sharkey. The other
bet is with Con Keefe. of Boston, at the
same odds and for the same amount as
the one with Vendig. Sam Fitzpatrick has
