COrbett and Mccoy Meet In Four
Weeks In New York.
NEW YORK, July 31.-James ]. Cor
bett and kid" Mccoy were matched
this afternoon to fight before the Tween
tieth Century club on the night of Au-
gust 80. The men will go twenty-five
rounds under the marquis of Queensbury
rules.
1t was expected that trouble would oc-
cur when they met at No 1890 Broadway,
but aside from some rather sarcastic re-
marks passed by each, the meeting was
peaceful. The men had agreed to meet
to sign articles at half past / o'clock
Corbett was on time, but Mccoy failed
to appear until almost o'clock AS soon
as he entered he walked to the opposite
side of the room from where Corbett was
sitting. For more than five minutes
neither man said word to the other
Mccoy looked extremely nervous and
acted like an amateur making his first
match. After about ten minutes he re-
gained his composure, and the men set
tied down to business.
Corbett drew from his pocket the tele-
gram he received from Mccoy yesterday
and. holding it before the latter, said:
Now, there ought to be no trouble In
signing articles. You say here that you
will fight me at my own terms. 1 am
going to take your word for it. but will
make no unreasonable demands"
Mccoy said: "Well, what are your
terms?"
Corbett answered.: ST will fight you
before the Twentieth Century club. The
winner to take seventy per cent and the
loser thirty"
Mccoy said he was satisfied with those
terms.
Charley" White was nameds by Nc
Coy as referee and was satisfactory to
Corbett
The only wrangIe that occurred was
over bandages. Corbett at first insisted
that no bandages be allowed. Mccoy
refused to consider that. After several
caloric remarks, the men finally agreed
that Mccoy would furnish material for
how much of the roll to be worn by
each man. During this argument Cor
bett said to Mccoy:
"Oh, 1 know nothing Of bandages-
You're an expert on that sort Of thing;
my speciality is boxing" to which Nc
| Coy answered:
You haevn't shown much cleverness at
| that, either, imagine"
John Considine and George w. Grant,
the former for Corbett and the latter for

| and they were signed by both men.
