breathing spells, as he laid down sew
eral times without receiving a punch.

ing and wrestling and was frequently
cautioned. He feigned being groggy a
couple Of times and tried to catch Nc
Coy off his guard so that he could swing
his right. Mccoy was not to be fooled
by these wiles and kept on the alert
all the time. He would certainly have
put Mccormack to sleep had the big
fellow stood up and fought like man.

| Mccoy, who sidestepped and planted a
