New York, May 19-Charles kid"
Mccoy made short work of Australian
Dan Creedon at the Broadway A. c.
last evening before one of the largest
crowds the club has ever had. Thirty
four seconds of the sixth round was
all the time needed to turn the trick
and the Kid could have brought 1t TO
speedier conclusion had he felt so dis
posed. Creedon was knocked down in
the third round and in the sixth. When
ne went down in the sixth his seconds
threw up the sponge and the decision
went to Mccoy. At no time did Cree
don land punch that hurt the Kid,
who was in fine fettle. Mccoy looked
heavier than ever. Charlie White was
the referee.
They were matched to go 25 rounds
at the middleweight limit, but odds of
10 to were given that Creedon would
not last four rounds. while the betting
on the result was TO / against him.
He presented better appearance when
he entered the ring than was anticipat-
ed, and Mccoy. while in good fettle.
was a trine fiat and bore out the pre-
vailing belief that he did not regard the
lIdtCn as Olle ItuulThne MS DtSt loTHls
The preliminary was between Tom
my Feltz and Harry Bresnick. The
latter had taken the place of Terry Ed
wards. 1T was short and sharp. Bres-
nick was no match for Feltz and after
taking a severe beating was sent down
in the second round with jolt on the
jaw and the referee stopped the con-
test.
Jim Corbett was rendered a great
ovation when he entered the club house
and the cheering continued for five
minutes and terminated only when he
responded to demands for speech.H
went into the ring and telling the
crowd how greatly he was pleased by
their approval said his hands were a
little knocked out. but that he hoped
TO meet Jeffries again within a few
months and felt confident he would
earn even greater claims upon their
good will.
In the opening round OF the main
event Mccoy danced around Creedon,
feinting and played about him with
movements as rapid as flashes. Cree
don reached the shoulder with a light
swing and Mccoy touched the stomach
with q left and staggered Dan with a
right on the ear Creedon clinched and
Mccoy. easily blocked his return.
In the second round Creedon drove
Mccoy into a corner and landed a right
ON the ribs. but Mccoy ducked a swing
and pasted Creedon on the nose with a
left. Dan hooked a right to the shoul-
der and then Mccoy sent three lefts to
the wind. and when Creedon did get
back with a drive to the stomach Nc
Coy smashed him on the nose and
brought the claret. Mccoy kept Cree
don fuddled with short hooks. but the
Australian gamely followed Mccoy
from corner TO corner as he shifted and
they did some light mixing.
In the third Mccoy proceeded to play
with CYeedon, rapping him as ne
pleased. He curt Dams right eye with
lightning left and with another left
on the jaw sent him down. He arose
quickly and clinched. In the fourth
and fifth Mccoy had everything his
own way although Creedon was work
Ing hard all the time.
In the sixth Mccoy battered the
stomach with the left and put Creedon
on the ropes with two rights on the
Jaw. 1t was the beginning of the end
Creedon tried rougning IL, but Mccoy
grinned. put him on the ropes again
and then with a left on the mouth
knocked Creedon down. He was groggy
and made a plucky effort TO get on his
feet but his seconds threw up the
sponge and the affair ended. Mccoy
will proceed with his training for the
hight with Tommy Ryan on May 20.
