BOXING.

John L. Sullivan has been chosen to
referee the Mccoy and Choynski fight
tonight at San Francisco. The advance
sale OF seats already amounts to $4,000.
The betting. which opened at 10 to 8, is
now 10 to in favor OF Mccoy. The two
fighters have selected the men who are
to go behind them In the ring. Mccoy
will have his brother Homer Jack
Stelzner and Frank PurselI. Choyn-
skis handlers will be Ed Creamy, Char
lie Tilson and Tommy Murphy.
Mccoy and ChoYnski met In four
teen round no-decislon bout in New
York on March q. 1886. Just three
years ago. but sports say chat no salts
factory conclusion can be drawn from
that meeting. Mccoy recently won
from Joe Goddard on q foul In five
rounds. Goddard was badly beaten,
but he was not the Goddard of old who
beat Choynski in Australia Choynski
had all the best OF Goddard In q six
round, no-decision bout. and Mccoy
won q decision over Rubin In a twenty
round draw. Mccoy met Jim Hall in
1897, In a six-round fight In Philadel-
phia. and Choynski knocked out Hall In
thirteen rounds in 1896. Choyrski fought
Dan Creedon six-rouBd draw In Chi
cago in 1895, when Creedon was good.
Mccoy won from Creedon In fifteen
when Creedon Is said to have been no
longer his old self The meetings %
the two men with Tom Sharkey are
familiar history. ChoynsliI, fighting a
cautious battle. had all the best OF It
until Sharkey began TO rush and butt
him. Mccoy forced matters from the
start and had Sharkey on queer street
In three rounds, but was put out HIM
SELF In the tenth.
