properly awarded the decision over Joe
| ChoynsH at the end OF the twentieth
round before the National Athletic Club,
| I'm Mechanics Pavilion. tonight.

| entirely in favor of the younger man.
Mccoy won, and won easily. He had the
fight in his hands and at any one of the
palpable openings could have gotten in
| q knock tout blow, but time and 'again he
| failed to follow up his advantage, and
| ChoynsN was considered lucky to be
able to stay the twenty rounds.

Mccoy was the aggressor in his own
| fashion, drawing Choynski out. except in
the second round when Joe landed thrice
i'm succession. but not very effectively.

was plainly resting and simply out of
reach. In the fifth round Joe was appa-
renty going, under the furious rain of
McCoy's blows. but Joe was saved by the
gong. and after the brief respite. rallied
and fought his uphill task. But he did
not seem to like the game. Mccoy s
stomach blows, particularly, were little
| TO his liking. and he WINGED pitfuly
under the frequent punches which he re-
ceived.
On the other hand, Joe could not effec-
lively reach the Kid, who was entirely
too clever for him in getting away When
Joe did land it was frequently upon Nc
Coy's small, hard head. and the blows
| did more damage to Joe's hands than to
the objective point
