New York, Aug. 31.-The Corbett-
Mccoy contest last night was won by
Corbett in five rounds of tame fighting.
There were few blows struck, the time
of the principals being taken up with
dancing exhibitions. In the fifth
round Corbett tapped Mccoy a few
times on the solar picks and the kid
went down and was counted out. The
fight by rounds was as follows:
Round 1-Fiddling, then the kid
leads with one, Jim blocks and they
dance around the ring. The kid blocks
two lefts, misses a right swing by a
yard. Corbett is shifty and comes
back with a left which Mccoy throws
off easily. Another left from Jim is
blocked and the crowd is growing i'm
patient for some fighting. The kid
PUSHES Jim, who always skips away
and the kid is in with a left on the jaw
and the first blow was landed. They
fiddle and feint. For leads and blocks
it is clever work and brings out a SOL
itary left on Jim's eye as the only blow
landed.
Round 2-McCoy tries a right swing
and misses. His left is lodged and
when Jim closes in, after missing two
drives, Mccoy sends his left on the
mouth. The kid leads again with his
left and Jim shoots his left on the
nose. They dance around and back
and finally clinch. The kid reaches
the stomach on the break with his left
and Jim hooks a light left on the a
Sparring, Corbett sends two lefts to
the stomach with no force behind
them. Jim is in with his left and
crosses his right on McCoy's jaw.
Dancing at the end. 1t is a pretty ex-
hibition so far but no hitting.
Round 3-Out in the middle with Nc.
Coy breaking ground. Jim taps him
on the stomach. The kid misses a
right swing. Corbett lands his right
on the elbow and they clinch in a cor
ner. A clean break away and Mccoy
ducks a right swing. Kid tries his left,
but misses and is warned for trying the
elbow. Jim crouches but his left is
no where near the mark and they close
in with light lefts on the face. Cor
bett rushes and hooks two lefts on Nc
Coy's mouth and they are blocking at
the bell.
Round 4.-Sparring again. Jim's
left for the wind is stopped when lie
PUSHES and swings the left and right
but the ghost-like kid is not there.
They clinch but no damage results
from their efforts. Jim again rushes
and hooks hard on McCoy's ear, and
the kid clinches. Corbett rushes the
kid from corner to corner, rips left to
the wind and crosses the right on the
jaw, then smashes his mouth with the
left. The kid blocks a fusilade clev-
erly and clinches but Jim is after him
like a flash and has the great and only
on the defensive for the face. Cor
bett uppercuts and the kid clinches.
This is COrbett's round.
Round 5-McCoy's left is blocked
and Corbett raps his ear. Mccoy
swings himself clear around when he
misses a swing and Jim belts him on
the ear. The kid sends a left on the
mouth and Jim crowds his man to a
corner and leads with his right and the
kid is away like a flash. They clinch
and the kid uppercuts on the break
away. Corbett sails in now like a mad
bull. Jim is now like a flash and
catches the kid with an ugly smash on
the chin and IS the kid ducks a right
hook, Corbett won't allow the kid to
clinch but lets fly a right and left to
the stomach. Mccoy doubles up and
another left goes to the kids solar
picks and down on the board goes the
kid. He rolls over and over and
White counts ten and Mccoy picks
himself up and walks to his corner I'M
aided. Corbett is the center of the
usual wild crowd of cranks who want
to enter the ring and either say II told
you So" or shake hands. The police
stopped the rush and Corbctt leaves
the ring. The kid had no crowd
cheering him, as he walked unmarked
