tioE--SharHey Not SecOnu SUI
Hvnn, bat Better Than Has Been
Thought.
Kid Mccoy was beaten by Tom
Sharkey In their fight before the
IenoX Athletic club last Tuesday
night because the Indiana man was
oUtciassed by the marine. who could
do the trick again, and, probably, in
less time. Mccoy has been exploited
as heavyweight of the first class
while it was clearly shown in his bout
with Sharkey that he is but a middle
weight, and all the yarns about his
inability to scale at 156-or even 1874
pounds-are fiction. The only sur
prising feature of the battle was that
1t took Shalkey ten rounds to do the
job. Had the admirers and hackers
of Mccoy known that he was fibbing
about his weight they might have
saved their money. for no man Of the

freak-Bob Fitzsimmons-wou have a
ghost of q show to defeat the sturdy
sailor. Sharkey. Mccoy is not sec

other Sullivan.
SHARKEY SIZED UP.
That Tom Sharkey has improved un-
der the tutelage of the ex-Boston car
penter, Tom O'Rourke, is not at all
surprising. There is no better coach
in the business than is O'Rourke He

seconds: Let us hope he is not clever.
That is our only chance" But FitZ
was clever, as we'll as humane, and
begged the gallant Dempsey to quit.
The result is known.
FITzsIMMoNs a FREAK:
Fitzsimmons may meet and defeat
Sharkey. And vet he is taking big
chances in match with the sturdy
sailor. And Fitz is bigger man than
Mccoy. He can scale at 1865 pounds.
and be in perfect shape And he can
also make 1856 and be as good as the
best. No other man in the ring can
duplicate the performance. Fitzsim-
mons must meet SharKey or surrender
the heavyweight championship. He
can insist that the battle be to finish
and for a side bet. Sharkey must
agree to that much or he cannot be
recognized as champion. And yet it is
doubtful if the men will ever meet.
Which would win? There would be
the rub. The wise ones would pick
FitZSimmons-and they might be
wrong. as they usually are.
THE LESSON OF IT.
There are a great many people who
take an interest in boxing who will
gain by the expensive experience of
the Sharkey MCCOY battle. 1t is the
old story repeated. AS the crowd goes,
so go the rank and file of the wise
ones. 1t was ever thus. Expert adj
Vertising has made many a fighter
faVorite where the good Judgment of
the student whispered to him that the
pick of the talent was far and away
outclassed. So 1t was while Jim Cor
bett rode upon the popular wave. He
was heralded as wonder. He was
the greatest of all the great boxers the
world had produced. And yet when
one had seen Corbett in action and
knew the nice points in the game. he
felt that the first good man the Cali
fornian met would strip him of his
laurels. And so it proved. There is
entirely too much talk and not suffi-
cient fight in the modern gladiator of
the squared circle. In the good old
days it was different. Then fighters
fought for reasonable reward, and
usually for their own cash. In the
modern battle the loser receives far
more than did the winner when fight
ing was the real thing. In the future
the wise ones will not be carried away
by clever advertising. They will base
their judgment more upon performance
than promise.

WAR NOTES,

The following dispatch was sent by
Gen. Otis in response to an inquiry re-
garding the number of American pris-
oners held by the Filipinos: "Insurg-
ents have not taken nor do they hold "a
single prisoner of war. They have
three soldiers in Malolos, picked up in
January, who, without permission.
went among them near Cavite and Ca
loocan. i am looking after them and
providing money. Have captured over
1900 insurgent soldiers since Feb.
and hold the majority as prisoners of
war. Troops here in splendid condi-
ton. Detrimental reports which
reach the u. $. are manufactured
mostly in Hong Kong"
Gen. Otis gives it as his opinion that
the war will be brought to an end
within three months. He says as soon
as Gen. Lawton's division arrives, the
American line, now stretched out for
90 miles around Manila, will be short
ened and strengthened. This he claims
will permit powerful column to dash
out and smash the insurgents massed
beyond CaloQcan and then advance on
Malolos, the Filipino capital.
A high german authority says the
motives which induced Germany to an
trust the protection of Germans in the
Philippine islands to the U. s. are
simple. The German warships in the
far east are needed in Chinese waters,
owing TO the recent anti-German out
RACES. Regarding Samoa the same au-
thority said Germany was awaiting
the initiative of the other powers.

New War Association.

A new association, to be known as
the Spanish War Veterans
association, is about to be formed, and
a call has been issued for a convention
to be held in Washington September 4,
and 6. The proposed association will
have for its objects the wiping out of
sectionalism, the promotion of closes
fraternal relations, the fostering of a
more unselfish patriotism and the cor
porate effort to secure the enactment
of legislation, in state and nation, in
the interest of soldiers, the army and
navy generally.
