Kid Mccoy Will Attempt to
Knock Out Mccormick.

New York Sept. 26.-This will be one of
the busiest and most important weeks
the fstic game has seen in many month
A large number of important nights are
scheduled for the different nights OF the
week and some of them may haye a direct
bearing on the championships in some
of the classes.
Probably the most important engage
ment of the week will be the meeting to-
night of Joe Kennedy, the young Cahfor-
MIA heavy weight, and your old friend
Peter Maher. They are to box twenty
rounds before the LenOx club of the New
York trust. Kennedy thinks he is IN dl-
rect line for the heavy weight champion
ship. as his good fight against Gus Ruh-
lin out on the coast has inspired him
with such aspirations. But he is up
against a rather severe trial horse in the
vicious punching Irishman, who IS SO
well known for his ability to bring about
that sleepy feeling in his opponents in
hurry-up time.
Kennedy is but % years old and scales
close to the 200 mark. He is not accred-
tied as a heavy hitter. but he has eX-
treme clevernesS and is remarkable 1or
the stiffness he displays. If he defeats
AIaher he Will have done something to be
proud Of trick that may get him other
good fights with some of the heavy
TIE Following night kid" Mccoy will
attempt to how Jack Mccormick what an
awful mistake he made a short time ago
in knocking hins out They are to meet
at OROurke's club in tWenty5roHInu

Coy tells of the great benefits ne Is re-
ceiving at Bill Muldoon's training 1arm
AT White Plains. n. Y, and promises to
be in the best condition of his life when
he again faces the Philadelphia life
1t has been the ambition of McCoy's
life to show how much superior he IS 70
him to sleep, and it is probable that he
will cut Mccormick into r1bbons.- .4 II ne
Few think Mccormick is to be classed
with the Hoosier fighter as q master naS OF
the hands Of the western youngster will
hardly surprise anybody.
