Mccoy never looked better than he does
at the present time. His color is good
and he has taken on several pounds since

The energetic Kid, in line with his policy
to fight any time there is anything to
fight for, is now matched for two con
tests and has three or four in prospect.
He is TO go 20 rounds with the Australian

FIGHTING TACTICS.
Jefries Describes His Favorite Blow
For a Knockout.

BY JAMES J. JEFFRIES.
New York, Oct. 12.-Every fighter in the
ring today, more or less. has his favOrite
tactics by which he believes he can ac-
complish his end in ring contest. In
training the idea of how to hit an effec-
tive blow and get away without serious
damage is given considerable attention
by the boxers. OF course, one particular
blow or any other single method Will
never win a battle. A fighter must have
the necessary strength and science to
succeed in his effort My favorite blow,
when engaged in battle believe is the
most effective blow when landed properly

carried to the jaw before it lands. 1 start

The Pair VIII Nest Again, This Time
In st. Louis.

st. Louis, Oct. 12.-President Haughton
of the West End club yesterday announc-
ed one of the most important fights Of
the year, which is to take place in this
city within a month. He has matched
Terry McGovern, the Brooklyn boy who
has fought his way to the top of the so
called bantam class, though he is really
a feather weight and Johnnie Richie, the
best fighter St Louis has ever turned out.
Richie met McGovern once before and
lasted but a couple of rounds. The battle
was fought in the open air arena of the
Westchester Athletic club and Richie was
not at his best at the time Despite this
so good judge as Sam Austin found
much in his style and methods to admire
and stated that should the pair meet
again McCfoyern would have his hands
full taking care of Richie. The date of
the nght has not vet been announced, but
it will be early in November, about a
week later than the McCoy-Stift and
Flannagan-Leon battles, which are sched-
uled for October 27.
