Blow That Hurt.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Charles kid"
Mccoy easily defeated Australian Dan
Creedon at the Broadway Athletic Club to-
night before one of the largest crowds that
has ever assembled in the club. Thirty
four seconds of the sixth round was all
the time needed to turn the trick and Nc
Coy could have brought the fight to a
speedier conclusion had he been so dis
posed. Creedon made a very poor show
ing. At no time did he land a blow that
hurt Mccoy.
The opening bout between Tommy Feltz,
of Brooklyn, and Harry Bresnick, of New
York, scheduled as twelve-round fight at
los pounds. was a short aair. ending in
the second round In favor of Feltz The
referee declared Bresnick outclassed.

accompanied by Dial Hawkins, Benny
Murphy and Joe Game. A few minutes lat
er the Kid came through the ropes, with
his brother Homer, Billy Muldoon. Joe
Felvey and Jimmy Deforest as seconds.
Both looked to be in good shape and after
receiving their instructions from the ref
cree they got to business.
When the bell sounded the Kid started
In with clever feinting and foot work He
had a smile on his face. but Creedon looked
serious and was first to land with a good
left to the wind. Mccoy danced away and
came back with several jabs to the face
and body, and then crossed his right to
the head. Creedon was inclined to mix
things in the second round and twice
landed his left to the head. Mccoy jabbed
and tried hard to reach the jaw with his
right, but Dan held high guard and al
though the Kid reached the stomach with
the left hand he was still there at the
bell, but tired. In the third round Mccoy
began jabbing his right to the wind, but
was blocked when he tried for the jaw
Dan kept going, but was unable to land
a punch until later in the round, when he
reached the body with right. A left hook
on the eye brought the blood and sent
Creedon on his back, but he managed to
get to his feet and stay the round.
Mccoy did not seem inclined to rush mat
tiers in the fourth and Dan finally cornered
him and swung hard left to the body. Nc
Coy returned a left hook to Dams injured
eye and backed away when Dan rushed.
Creedon was very tired at the bell. Mccoy
opened the fifth with a left to the body,
but Dan blocked his right swing and re-
turned a vicious swing for the head, which
the Kid ducked. The Kid then swung his
left, but was wild and was laughed at by
the crowd. Dan swung good left to the
head and the Kid countered with his right
to the body and repeated the blow when
Dan crowded in. Creedon was still on his
feet at the bell.
Mccoy came to him for the sixth with
the evident intention of finishing 1t and
jabbed his left to the face and his right
to head. He then forced Dan around the
ring, but Dan sent him away with a right
swing to the neck. Mccoy was right back
with a right to the body and then hooked
his left to the Jaw, sending Dan to the
floor. Creedon's second. seeing he was de-
feated, threw up the sponge. Mccoy was
then declared the winner.
