 Tame Fight

New York, Aug. 30.-The long looked for meeting between Jam J. Corbett and Kid Mccoy at Madison Square Garden is over and in less than five rounds Corbett proved himself to be the better man. Keen judges of the gams who saw tonights fight declare that it was the cleverest exhibition ever wit messed in the ring. While Mccoy landed some stinging jabs, h. did not cut Corbett's skin. nor did he land d single heavy right hand blow during the contest. On the other hand, Cor bett when he dropped science and be- gan to slug. landed rights and lefss which simply took McCoy's guard away, and when Corbett found a vul- nerable spot in the region of McCoy's heart, two lefts divided by a right, ended the battle.
 Both men were in superb condition. In the opening round Mccoy showed to much better advantage than Corbett. Mccoy seemed very confident though careful, while Corbett was nervous and ill at ease. Mccoy started out with his usual coolness; not blow was landed in this round. In the second round Corbett came up in better form and his
 
 Corbel, frequently endeavored with rights and lefts to reach the Kid. but | the Hoosier fighter was too nimbIe on his feet and his stopping and blocking were marvellous. Corb tt got to the head towards the lateer pa1t of the second round. and Mccoy jabbed his provoking left into Corbett's face.
 In the third they got to each other cftener, but ic was in the fourth thai Corbett began to take McCoy's meas ure. At times Corbett stopped his scientific work and resorted to slug ging. which proved very effective. Me Coy was forced to clinch and it was then seen that Corbett was surely get ting the best of it. Mccoy had to break ground frequently and after the bell had sent them to their corners, while both men showed signs of fla ftigue, Mccoy was cei itairly wearier.

CCrbett swung for the h,,I. but Mc- Coy ducEed under it versF; >.-rIv, wand jumped 10 the center f tEt ring Jim rushed him across the floor of the ring and by clever work forced Mccoy back into the corner again, where he sent a right and left to the Kij s head. This was the beginning of McCoys undoing. Corbett went to him. using both hands, swinging and stabbing and occasionally l upperculting with the left. McC0y's defense availed him little against this onslaught and CCrbett soon had the Kid al his mercy.
