BOTH MEN ARE CONFIDENT
Maher and Kid" Mccoy Are in Fine Physi-
cal Condition.
The Odds Are 100 to 20 in Favor @,
Maher Big Crowd.
Expected.

NEW YORK, January 1.-Everythng is
in readiness for the twenty fve-round bout
which is to take place this afternoon in the
arena of the Coney Island Sporting Club
between Peter Maher and Kid Mccoy Of
Indiana.
The match is for purse of $4,000, winner
to receive $1,000. Mccoy will weigh about
16S pounds and Maher ITS. These two have
Eeen matched before, but their meeting was
postponed on account of McCoy's physical
condition, as his trainer and adviser Billy"
Muldoon, feared the hoosier boxer would
break down completely. Since that time
however. Mccoy has regained his health
and today is in the best fighting trim of
his ring career.
Maher, too despite the fact that he had
TO break training for few days owing to
the Illness of his wife and demise of his
chlld. is in grand shape, and declares that
ne Will whip Mccoy in less than a dozen
rounds.
The Irishmans confidence is remarkable
ana MS trainers say that he never looked
forward to any previous contest with such
feeling of surety that ne will be returned
the winner
Mccoy is equally confident. and says that
he will jab and punch his man to a stand
sun The Kid is much the cleverer boxer
ana ne depends on this fact very much. IS
ne claims that the heavy hitting Irishman
Will not be able to land on him
Taken all in ali, it promises TO be Il re-
markabiy interesting contest, and will UNI
dCubtedly draw large crowd to the sea-
side arena. From out-of-town sporting CEN
ters many delegations of ring followers have
arrived and many more are expected TODAY
Opinions are pretty equally divided as 10
tie outcome, but the betting thus far is in
Mahers favor, and in all probability the
Irish champion will be a 100 to 40 favorit..

HEAVY FINES IMPOSED,
Judge scott DispOses of the Owen
House ARRAY Cases

In disposng of the cases growing out of
the affray which occurred in the Owen
House early Friday morning Judge Scott
Saturday afternoon after the arguments
mad closed. said the evidence was conflict
ing, but there was no question in his mind
that Logan ProsiSe, the carpenter who was
shot by Thomas LIE Cuyer, had attempted
to defend himself and in using the Ratchet
the head of which was loosely on the ham
die. had struck LIE Cuyers pistol. causing
the head to fly off and strike Tally. In
this way. the judge declared, he believed
Blake Tally got his wound. The Judge
called attention to the fact that the edge
OF the hatchet fitted precisely to a dent on
the muzzle of LIE Cuyer's pistol barrel. He
therefore dismissed the charge against Pro-
sise of assaultng Tally and fined LIE Cuyer
SlGo, with the alternative of six months in
jan; Henry A. Lehman, $50 or ninety days
IN jail: Lewis Wells $50 or ninety DAYS in
jail. and Blake Tally. $50 or ninety days in
jail for asSaulting Prosse. He fined Leh-
man. Wells and Tally each So, with the al
Tentative of sixty days in jail, for assault
ing Frederick Solomon.
After the decisions had been announced
Mr. Edwin Forrest. who had appeared for
all the parties on trial except Prosise, the
latter being represented by Mr.. Campbell
Sarrlnston. gave notice of the filing of a
notice for new trial. on the ground that
the penalties were excessive. Pending the
hearing on this issue the parties sentenced
