KID M'COY KNOCKED OUT.
Jack Mccormick of Philadelphia Put
Him out In the First Round
In Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-Jack Mccormick
Of Philadelphia knocked out Kid Nc
Coy in the first round here. The bout
was to have been for six rounds, and it
was generally thought that Mccormick
had no show. The fight was as follows:
Both men spared cautiously, Mccoy
very confident, Mccormick somewhat
nervous. Mccormick feinted with his
left and let go his right, which Mccoy
ducked. Mccormick rushed and swung
his right. AS he came in Mccoy landed
hard left square in the mouth. Nc
Cormick was stopped, but rushed again,
carrying Mccoy to the ropes, throwing
his weight on him. Mccormick landed
right on the shoulder and received a
stiff right counter on the neck. He
rushed again, carrying Mccoy to the
repes for the second time.
No blows were struck as the men
were clinched, but as they came from
the ringside Mccoy hooked his left low
on MCsOrmick's right cheek and the
big man went to the floor. he was not
dazed, and lay looking at the referee as
though to claim a foul, but none was
allowed, and, at the call of "nine." he
was on his feet once more. Mccoy
walked slowly around him with a con.
fident smile on his face, both hands low
down. Mccormick instantly brought
his right across, and catching Mccoy
on the jaw, sent him to the floor com.
pletely knocket out.
He raised his head trife at the call
of "ten," but laid it down on the floor
again, and then was carried to his cor.
ner. The knockout came just IL sec
| onds before the end of the three min.
utes. When Referee Hogan called him
out the round had only three seconds tc
last. Time of actual fighting minutes
and AZ seconds.
Mccoy would say very little after the
fight, merely claiming that it was {
chance blow, which would not be landed
on him again in 100 fights by man O
| McCormiCli's ability.

Root Proposes to Garrison
Places In Philippines.
ENOUGH TROOPS ARE TO BE SENT.
tdvisability of Chartering Three Trans
ports on Pacific cConsidered-SomeR Regi-
ments to Go by Suez Canal-All to BE
In Islands Dec. 1.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. - Secretary
Root was busily engaged in selecting
officers to fill the new regiments, going
over the lists of names that have been
submitted with recommendation for ap-
pointment and considering their eff
cheney records during the Spanish war.
After the selections are made by the
secretary they will be sent to the presi.
dent for his approval.
The quartermaster' department has
been considering the advlsability of
chartering more transports on the Pa
citic coast. Already the ships chartered
make it possible to send nearly all the
organizations now formed by Sept. %,
instead of two weeks later, which was
the schedule first shown to Secretary
Root. The transports Logan and
Thomas are now being fitted up on the
Atlantic coast and it is expected they
will be ready to sail by the middle of
October and will take three regiments
via the Suez canal.
At the latest calculation it is now be-
Geved to be possible to land all the new
regiments in the Philippines by Dec. /,
or very soon after that date.
While it may not be necessary to use
all the troops in the Philippines, it is
understood to be the plan of Secretary
Root to have a sufficient force to not
only defeat the insurgents at every
point, but to garrison and hold the
places that may be taken and thus in.
sure safe line of communication.

TO SUCCEED HAYWARD.
The Fight Is Warm Between Allen
and Hitchcock.

Omaha, Dec S.-Governor Poynter
has been called from the capital to AL
bian by the illness of his father, and
this has caused a slight break in the
fight for senator to succeed Senator
Hayward. The friends of both Allen
and Hitchcock are busy organizing
their forces, however.
One feature of the contest is the
dropping of all talk of a compromise
candidate and it appears certain that
one of the two will get it. The fusion
members of the last legislature are
practically unanimous in urging Aliens
appointment. AS they are practically
all Populists and Governor Poynter is
also a Populist, this is counted on to
have its effect.
The Democrats are apparently united
on Hitchcock, and are making their
strongest fight on the plea that the
Democrats have not heretofore received
their share of the offices under the fu-
sion arrangement.
The only serious detection among the
Democrats from Hitchcock is Attorney
General Smith, who is in Washington,
and who is reported to have telegraph
ed Poynter urging Aliens appointment
The governor has announced the ap-
pointment will not be made before the
middle of next week in order to give
all parties ample chance to be heard
