M'CoY'S STRANGE CAREER.
Norman Selby has fought In three con-
tinents and has lost only three of fifty-one
ring battles.
FATE made Norman Selby prize fighter,
and brains successful one. He began life
as a farmers son in Rush county, Indiana,
scme twenty-five years ago.
He Joined the Y. NJ. @. A. and became a
leader in the athletic class. his prediction
being for boxing.
AT the age of IL he fought his first ring
battle with Peter jenkins of ST. Paul. and
won the four-round set-to. Mccoy at that
time was SO slender and youthful in APP
pearance that few would believe he could
stand any punishment at all
After several minor encounters Mccoy
decided to come East. While en- route he
knocked out deaf and dumb fighter on a
barge near Pittsburg. He went TO Provi-
dence and whipped Hayden in two rounds.
Jack Wilkes refused to fight after seeing
Mccoy at the ringside Wilkes. who WAS
powerfully built, feared ne might Kill the
slender Westerner. II was only after a
physician had examined Mccoy that wilkes
consented to box. TO the surprise Of the
crowd. Wilkes was floored several times
and put TO sleep In the second round
Since then no fighter has insisted on Nc
Coy undergoing preliminary examination.
Mccoy met his first defeat at the hands
CT Billy Steffers in Cleveland in 1894. After
thirty seconds OF fighting In the first round
Mccoy was pushed over backward, His
head struck the floor and he was counted
out.
Mccoy won q number of small fights In
rapid succession and. having accumulated
considerable coin. paid visit 10 England
in 1895. While In the sporty little Island
he boxed Teddy White, the English middle
weight ten two minute rounds mt the Ma
tiOnal SpOrti,g club. The referee gave the
decision to White but Mccoy rs convinced
that he bested the Engllshmar On Me-
Coy's return TO America the matchmakers
had grand scramble to secure his SER
vices. He conquered Tommy West In a
couple OF rounds ut the Manhattan club,
and shortly afterward won a National rcp-
utaiion by Knocking out Tommy Ryan in
fifteen rounds At Maspeth. L. ]. The four
round bout with choynski was merely a
friendly go. Frank Bosw'oth, Fltxsimmons'
spnrring partner. VAS stopped In two
rounds. and Jim Daley, Corbctt's ex-spar-
ring partner. also fell before the prowess
OF Mccoy.
Having added the scalps OF "Mysterious

Mccoy decided on an African campaign.

enlisted in Uncle Sans navy. He was dis
charged from the navy in 1895 and decided
TO take up fighting as II profession.
After considerable hustling he managed
to get on match WITH Billy Miller OF the
San Francisco Athletic club. Miller was a
big, raw boned fellow over SIX feet in
height and the amateur champion heavy
weight Sharkey won in short order.
His next opponent was Australian Billy
Smith. and the Sailor again won. Joe
Choynski thought he saw easy money in
Offering to stop Sharkey in eight rounds,
Sharkey not only stayed the eight rounds,
but gave Choynski quite a trounciny.
The stock OF Sharkey then went up,
and he was matched to meet Joe Williams,
the heavyweight champion of Salt Lake
City. They came together in San Fran
cisco. and Sharkey knocked his man out
in seven rounds. Corhett then otfered to
stop the eX-tar in four rounds. The Pom
psdour not only failed to do this, but re-
ceived the worst Of the encounter. This
led to d match being made between them
to fight to finish. under Quecnsberry
rules. for $4,000 side and purse.
This match fell through but Sharkey
succeeded in getting on contest with
Fitzsimmons. The battle took place at
San Francisco in December. 1896 Sharkey
was given the decision on foul in the
eighth round. The sailo~ was doubled up
by left hand lab IN the stomach, ana
Referee Wyatt carp thought himself JUS
tilted in giving the fight TO Sharkey.
Sharkcy's next victory was IN iiercely-
fought contest with Joe Goddard before
the Knickerbocker club of San Francisco.
Goddard was so far gone in the sixth round
that the referee stopped the fight. In his
next battle Sharkey was defeated by Big
