sHGBKeY WHIPS MCCOY.
Brute strength Triumphs over Science
in the Prize Ring.

New York. Jan. t1--At the LenoX
Athletic Club last night. before how
ling mob that completely filed the
arena, Sharkoy, the sailor, knocked out
Kid Mccoy.
An old, Old timer, who had gone
through the talk of a thousand fistic
festivals, said it was numerous degrees
colder than Corbetta hackers were al
Carson City in the March when Sull-
vans conqueror passed the heavy
weight championship UP to Fitzsim-
mons.
First Rourd--They advance to the
center and shake hands. Mccoy circ-
led around Sharkey. led left for the
body and pu. the, right under the chin.
They cllnched and broke clean. Nc
Coy kept his feet going and got the
right to Sharkey's face. A vicious left
swing by Sharkey was cleverly duck
ed. The Kid pjut the left to Toms
ribs and put hot right handler to the
fnce. Sharfey tried a right swing
without avail. Both were smiling as
the round closed
Second Round Mccoy Immediately
put his feet to work and got his left
20 the face in easy fashion, but with
out strength. Sharkey forced the Kid
to the ropes and then tried to rough
him to the ground, but without harm.
Sharkey tried with the left for a swing
TO the head but Mccoy side stepped
and then jahbed left to the wind. An
other tremendous swing by Sharkey's
seft was finely ducked and then the
Kid put the left into Sharkey's neck.
There was evidence of attempted
roughing on the part of the ex-sailor
as the round closed.
