BETTING TAKES A SHIFT.
The apparently greatly improved physf-
cal condition of Mccoy. as a result of the
course of training laid out for him. has
been the means of making a decided
change in the betting since the match
was first made. The reports Of McCoy's
coEditton were unfavOrabIe from the
start, and Makers friends came to the
front with rolls of greenbacks which they
were only too willing to stake
While the odds We're not in Peters ia
vor to any appreciable extent, still the
plentiful supply of shekels which Makers
hackers were willing to wager kept the
Mccoy money somewhat in the back
ground.
Jim Wakeley, one of the most astute
betters on boxing events, was d Maher
man a few days ago. and offered s., 600 on
Peter. Saturday Wakeley was paid visit
by Mccoy and SO impressed was Wakeley
with the kids appearance of genuine
| health and condition that he withdrew
his Maher money, and announced that he
would bet $500 on Mccoy, with as much
more behind it.

George Considine, matchmaker of the

Dixon Is training at Lakewood and is

McGovern, discussing fights in general,
said that he is opposed to the allowance
of clinching during the contest. This
is against the Marquis of Queensberry's
rules" McGovern said, "as it comes un-
der the head Of Rule 2, which prohibits
huggtng or wrestling. Referees ought to
disqualify a man as soon as he attempts
to hold his opponent. He is not fighting
when he does this but uses the clinches
simply to avoid punishment If one of
the fighters in every contest would keep
on punching when his opponent tries to
clinch the clinching man would be COM
PEELED to break away and fight. Con-
tests these days last too long. If referees
would punish the offenders, as they
should do, by disqualification, fights
would be shorter and more decisive Then
only two exceptionally. weIl-matched men
would fight more than fifteen rounds
without a finishing blow"
