CHOYNsKI WAS ROBBER.
The New York papers continue to
RIP the officials of the Broadway Ath-
letic club. The following is a sample
of the comment on the Mccoy Choyn-
ski fiasco:
Eight thousand lunatics could not
have raised greater disturbance than
the din that swelled up to the invisible
above the canopy of tobacco smoke. As
Mccoy delivered the foul blow he was
hissed. A monster groan like the
groan Of ten thousand souls sinking
to perdition, greeted him as he drew
his white bathrobe about him and was
escorted from the ring under police
protection.
At that moment Choynski recovered
his senses. His head raised from his
breast and his eyes fiuttered. He
started up as though he would tear
Mccoy limb from limb, as a realization
of the thing that had happened burst
upon his beclouded brain. He was
forced back In his chair and then stag
gered to his feet and bowed to the
crowd.
The cheers which greeted the old
time champion, John l.. Sullivan, when
he appeared in the ring before the fight
to make speech, We're MS the dim and
distant echoes of Colorado CANYONS,
compared to the shout that greeted
ChOynslsi.
| "Robbers. robbers; you won the
fight. Kill the referee!"
The crowd would not be satisfied. 1t
continued its cheering Of Choynski for
five minutes. Then, game as an out
ragged man could be, he was led from
the ring and back to his dressing room,
where he feared his street clothes
might have been rlfied.
NOW IT'S TOMMY RYAN.
Did you ever read that grand old
story of "Japhet in Search Of n Faith
err" If you haven't read 1t, | would
advise you to correct the omission as
speedily as possible, says Macon In the
Enquirer "Jlm Corbett i'm Search of
a Trainer could be written up fully
as amusingly as the adventures of
Japhet. First he was to have Kid Nc.
Coy, then again he wasn't. Then Gus
Rubin was to be his pugilistic men,
tor, and the last candidate who is to
develop him into rechampionship form
is Tommy Ryan, of Syracuse. This new
mentor has been chosen because he
and Billy Delaney of San Francisco
are at swords points, and also because
there is no love lost at present between
Corbett and the aforesaid Delaney,
though once they were as thick and
as fast friends as David was to Jona-
than or as Pythias was to Damon.
