phlet on h subject, Sunday is certainly
more unlucky than Friday, so far as
rulers and other prominent p~ersonages
are concerned The king of Italy, he
points out, was killed on Sunday, and II
was on Sunday that two previous at
tempts against his life were made

The champions not playing the baseball these
days that they did earlier in the season Ihe team
in Brooklyn is weak in pitchers and the rest OF
the players seem to feel 1t too keenly. The result
Is that the team waivers at important stages OF
the game, and consequently does not play with the
dash and confidence which won for brooklyn
many a hard battle this and last year. McGinnity
seems to be the only pitcher at present who can
be depended upon

THE TRIBUNE SAID so AT ONCE.

From The Tribune OF August 81.
The last prizefght TO be held in Madison Square
Garden under the protection OF the Horton law
decided last night when James j. Corbett and
Kid Mccoy, two local salOonkeepers settled
their differences in the rOped arena. Corbett re-
ceived the decision in the fifth round There were
three rounds Of clever sparring; one-the fourth
showed little fighting by Corbett. while in the
fifth round, after the men had been in the ring
for two minutes and three seconds. Mccoy slid
gracefully to the floor and the referee gave the
fight, whatever IL was to Corbett Some of the
5000 1900 spectators thought that the battle
all right, and that the who played the princi-
pal parts in the ring were sincere. Many others
thought differently.
The betting before the contest aroused some
comment. and the appearance of the two men
caused more. At first the betting 800
to go with Corbett the favorite. There was little
Mccoy money in sight, however, and the odds
Corbett went to to l. Offers Of 5000 to 500
against Mccoy brought out takers. Mccoy
stripped in apparently splendid condition. while
Corbett looked paler than usual. and his
muscular condition was not of the best. There
were those after the fight who said that the money
had been evenly divided between the two fighters
