swing on the head, but Joe came up
quickly and spared back at him as spry
as a cricket. McCoys nose showed a
little blood in the nineteenth from a left
lab that Joe got in on him. The Kid
was still taking his time, however, and.
fearing a possible knockout punch, did
not take a chance.

the shake by jab in the face Choynski
swung his left for the head, which the
Kid cleverly blocked and countered his
right on the ribs. Mccoy rushed Joe
across the ring, smashing him quickly IN
the jaw twice with straight lefts. They
appeared hard enough to have felled him,
but Joe only staggered and fought back
into clinch. Mccoy rushed him to the
ropes again and there was an even ex-
change of lefts and rights on the body.

neck with both hands and Mccoy smash

The decision of the referee was greeted
with a storm of cheering, interspersed
with yells for Mccoy and almost as many
for Choynski, whom the crowd seemed to
have a warm feeling for on account of
the game fight he had put up against his
willy and hard-hitting opponent
Pavilion were thrown open to receive the
eager throng. Before two hours had
elapsed fully five thousand people had

lot of good-natured chaff at their expense.
The gallery gods came early and brought
their voices with them, and the arrival
of a noted parsonage brought forth yells
of approval or derision
A large advertisement that informed
people where to pawn their chattels

Here and there could be seen men ar

their wives they were going to the opera.
