New York, Jan. 9.-SOme controversy
has developed among patrons of boxing,
owing TO the attitude assumed by Kid
Mccoy on the question of hitting in
Is of the articles which Sharkey ana he
| signed for the fight tomorrow night
neither can hit while the other has hold
of him, and that the itting constitutes a
| cine. McCoyS position is said to be at
variance with an expressed understanding
between the two men at the time the arti-
cleS were signed, and while agreeing with
the letter of the articles, is declared to be
contrary to their spirit. The verbal agree
ment 1t is represented was that a man
might hit so long as both hands were
free. That Mccoy should have raised the
issue almost on the eve of the contest
is regarded as an evidence of aDDrehen-
sion on his part that he may not be able
to cope with the eX-marine at all points
OF the game.
If the articles are strictly carried out,
| all man will have to do when in a
tight place IS to place his hand on the
others shoulder and this would accord
ing TO the articles, constitute a clinch.
Sharkey and O'Rourke, his manager
say they will insist upon adherence to the
verbal agreement, but Mccoy has de-
clared that nothing but what is duly set
forth in the articles VIII go.
1t was announced tonight that Tom
O'ROurke, on behalf of Thomas Sharkey,
would meet Kid Mccoy and Tim Hurst.
the referee. tomorrow evening at 6
o'clock when the articles of agreement
will be discussed and the trouble over
articles s and IL, in references to what
shall constitute clinch, will be definitely
decided. An agreement will be made so
that the spectators will not be annoyed
with any wrangling on this point after the
men shall have entered the ring.
Tommy Ryan of Syracuse met Ben
ton, Kid McCoy'S manager, tonight at
the Lenox Athletic club for the pur-
pose of arranging a match Ryan in
sisted that the middleweight limit is
154 pounds, while Benton claimed 15S
pounds as the limit. Ryan then said he
would split the difference, and was
willing to meet Mccoy at 156 pounds.
Negotiations will be continued tomor-
row, and if the match can be arranged
the bout will probably take place at
the Lenox Athletic club in three or
four weeks time.
