San Francisco, March 4-Wlth a su-
periority In cleverness, quiclness and ring
genoralship, which was apparent from tha
first round. kid" Mccoy was very prop-
erly awarded the decision over Joe Choyn-
ski at the end of the twentieth round be-
fore the National Athletic Club in Me-
chanics' Pavilion tonight
1t was a very pretty fight, but il was
almost entirely IN favor of the younger
man. Mccoy won and won easily. He
had the fight in his hands and at any one
OF half a dozen palpable opportunities he
could have administered decisive and
Knockout blows. But again and again he
failed to follow up his advantage, and
Choynski was considered lucky to be able
to stay the twenty rounds.
Mccoy was the aggressor in his own
fashion drawing Choynosk out, and ex-
cept In the second round when Joe landed
thrice IN succession, but not very effective
ly, and again in the eleventh when the
Kid was plainly resting and simply out OF
reach.
In the Afth round Joe was apparently
| going under the furious rain of McCoys
blows, but Joe was saved by the gong, at
| ter the brief respite, rallied and fought his
| up-h task. But he did not seem TO like
| the game. McCoys stomach blows, partic-
ularly were little to his liking and he
WINGED piufully under the frequent pun
| ishment which he received.
ChoynsIxIs Uphill work.
On the other hand Joe could not reach
| the KID effectively, who was entirely too
! clever for him in getting away. When joe
| did land It was frequently upon McCoys
small hard head and the blows did more
damage to Joe's hands than TO the objec-
! tive point.
