DECISION FOR CHOYNSKl.
He Easily Ducked a Dozen Vicious Swings
From Mccormack.

Chicago, July 21.-JOe Choynski of
California got the decision over Jack
Mccormack of Philadelphia, heavy
six round contest. Choynski was
knocked down in the first round, but
from that time until the sixth round he
had decided advantage. In the first
mix up Mccormack reached Choynskis S
stomach with left jab that fioored the
Californian. Choynski jumped up.
however, and returned the compliment
in the same place, knocking McCor
mack fiat on his back. Mccormack
stayed down until the referee counted
eight and was staggering all over the
ring when the bell saved him from a
knockout.
The second round was rather tame,
with Mccormack breaking ground In
the third round Mccormack swung out
his right, but Choynski ducked and
brought the Philadelphian to the floor
with a right punch on the stomach.
Choynski had his man groggy in the
fourth, but Mccormack was game and
managed to last the round out.
Mccormack was knocked down again
in the fifth by left swing on the jaw,
but got up and began mixing it, land
ing couple of good blows on Joe's
chest. In the last round Mccormack
tried to even matters, but Joe was too
clever and easily ducked half a dozen
vicious swings. The bout ended with
both men in the middle of the ring
fighting like demons.

1t may be just as well in the end if
the natives of the Philippines defy the
American government out and out. The
issue will then be squarely met, and
the matter be settled once and for all.
General Otis has 10000 American SOL
diers with him, and more are on their
way; there is the fleet, under Admiral
Dewey, the bluejackets are en- route
to man the ships captured from the
Spaniards. If these crazy Philippine
Islands people, with their farcical gov
ernmenty with a paralytic old Indian
as its president and minister of foreign
affairs, were to enter upon a long dip
lOmatic correspondence and discussion
with the American authorities, the
final organization of the islands might
be long delayed. If they are really
bent upon fighting, one short, sharp ac-
ton will probably bring them to their
senses, and the men of peace can then
proceed with their usiness.-LOndon
