AS THE BATTLE APPROACHES.
How Mccoy and sharkey Regard
Their Respective Chances.


Their Respective Chances.
Asbury Park, Jan. 6.-McCoy's trainers
expected that the rain today would inter-
fere with the Kids outdoor training, but
contrary TO their expectations he donned 4
heavy suit OF clothing and overshoes and
started out He went at once to the
grounds of the Asbury Park Athletic Asso-
cation and circied the third Of mile
track until he had reeled off over five
miles. He then returned to his gymnasium
and was rubbed down. AS usual. the after
noon was spent in the gymnasium, bag
punching. sparring and going through
dumb-bell exercises.
The Kid said today that he would beat
Sharkey inside of twenty rounds and pre-
diets that the battle will be a seorcher as
long as il lasts. He relies a great deal on
his long reach and cleverness TO avoid
blows.
Mccoy thinks he is in line to receive
the championship belt and 81 coo in money
which Richard X. Fox offered him some
time ago If he would beat three heavy
weights, Fitzsimmons TO be the last of
the trio. The Kid has already disposed
OF Goddard, and. with Sharkey out OF the
way after next Tuesday night, he Will SO
at once after Fitzsimmons.
No answer has yet been received from
the telegram sent to Tom o'Rourke, who
offered 10 bet that Mccoy would not enter
the ring weighing 1853 pounds. 1t was
given out today that on the night of the
fight the Kid will tip the scales at 159.
Tomorrow afternoon Mccoy will finish his
training-that is the regular routine
exercise, although he will do some light
work on Sunday and Monday.
New York, Jan. e.-Tom Sharkey Will
finish his training tomorrow, although he
may do a little light work on Monday.
In preparing for this important ring con-
test the sailor has left no stone unturned
10 put himself in the pink Of condition.
Persons who have watched him in ths
gymnasium OF the Lenox Athletic Club
during the past three weeks have mar
veled at his capacity for hard work. He
has been in the best Of good nature and,
unlike some pIgilists on the verge of a
battle. he has shown no signs OF what is
known TO the talent as "crankiness.
Sharkey has been trained by his mana
ger Tom O'Rourke, who has been assisted
by George Dixon. the feather weight cham
pion; Bob Armstrong. the colored heavy
weight. and Kid Mcfarland, the local
lightweight in addition to a small army OF
Tubbers and massage operators Sharkey,
in answer TO queries says that he was new
ar more fit in his life. and he predicts that

HASTE TO SELL WHEAT.
Outside Buying Pauscs and the Mar
ket Closes Weak

Chicago. Jan. 6.-The narrowing of the
outside speculative interest in wheat was
even more pronounced today than on
Thursday. Belated holders were more ur-
gent about selling. and line OF 1000, 600
bushels went over.
Although wheat started higher under the
impulse of better Liverpool price, and
Of bad Argentine weather. it proved a
weak day, the close being 3-4c under
Thursday, and prices at one time cent
under.
There was a fair demand around zoe. 1t
is undeniable, however. that the outside
buying has paused. Millers show timidity
and pronounce the flour demand slow.

W-a-r-r-e-n-W-a-
The Warren football team opened its
season Saturday afternoon at the
Union street grounds by victory over
the strong Haddonield, N. j., eleven
by the score OF II to 8.
The game was hard fought and the
result was in doubt until the last min
ute OF play. The team work Of the
visiting team was almost perfect and
they had a pair OF ends whom it was
almost impossible to get around.
Warren won the toss and Prentiss
kicked of to Harrar on the 10 yard
line. Harrar fumbled the ball butquick-
ly recovered it and darted up the field
eluding every one but Prentiss who
brought him to the ground in the cen
tre OF the field. Hinderer was then
given the ball and went around right
end for a gain OF 20 yards. Warren
then took a brace and Harrar was fore
ed to kick which was blocked, the ball
going to Warren. Line plunges by
Bayley, Hayes, Smith and Prentiss
brought the ball back to Haddonfelds
80 yard line, where Haddonfeld re-
gained it on downs. From then till
the call of time for the first half the
ball was kept well in the centre OF the
field neither side having any apparent
advantage. Time was called with the
ball in Haddonfeld's possession on
Warren's 40 yard line.
In the second half several changes
were made in Warren's lineup, Brin-
ton replacing Allen at tackle and Mears
taking Bayley's place at half back
Harrar kicked off to Mears who ran
the ball back 15 yards. On the lineup
the ball was again sent to Mears who
plunged through the line for 10 yard
gain. Warren confined their attacks
to the centre and by consistent line
plunging by Mears, Prentiss, Brinton
and guards Jeffries and Chambers
rushed the ball up to the visitors 81
yard line. Mears was then given the
ball and in going through the line II
was jolted out of his arms. Quick as
flash. Harrar recovered il and was
speeding up the field with Brinton in
close pursuit, but the clever full-bach
was too fast and had crossed Warren'l
line before he was downed The at
tempt at goal was a failure.
rrentiss kick on went to Harral
who gained 10 yards before beinl
downed. Warren got the ball on I
tumble In the first scrimmage and
Mears and Brinton were sent through
the line for short gains. Prentiss ther
carried the ball to the 10 yard lin,
where Haddonfeld regained IL. Har
rar kicked to the 30 yard line. War

Prentiss brought the ball up to the

for a touchdown. Prentiss failed a
