THE RING.


A wire from the east says there is no
truth in the rulnor hat Mrs. James j.
Corbett has gone cunning for her run
away husband. She is living quietly in
New York under an assumed name, ac-
cording to the latest advices. 1t is a
bit strange that Mrs. James j. should
duck for cover as soon as Johnny Con-
Sldlne, Eddie Burke, ct al, requested ner
to bring forth check STUBS, bank books,
or other tangible proof of her recent
plpe-dream stories concerning ner hus-
bands alleged light with Mccoy.
Kid Mccoy and his wife had a rough
mouse miX-up at the Kids home in New
YORK, tut according to ali accounts little
damage was done to anything but the
furniture. Mrs. Mccoy did battle with
v hai1-Itlled whisky decanter.

The oeath OF the Horton law in New
York was indeed a sad blow to the box
ing game, and also to MessrS. Jim Cor
belt and kid" Mccoy. Had that law
remained intact it is doubtful. whether
these boxers would nare ever faced
each other, and therefore the scandaious
Stories now being aired about them
would not have become public property.
The public at large is not in the least
Interested in their lanlily spats. Blu it is
more or less Interested in their public
affairs. 1t was conlnlO property there
was something shady in hat Madison
Square Garden fight and the e~scapades
o fthe principals after the. contest added
fuel TO the smoldering fire. The after
nlath Brought forth facts that were
simply hinled at the night OF the con-
test. Corbett by this time is ON the
other side OF the Atlantic ocean and
therefore out of reach of the New York
scandal-mongers. Mccoy, however, is
on the ground and naturally makes a
general denial anent the dishonesty of
rte right. That, of course, was ex-
pected and the public is at liberty to be-
NeNe he ccuSers or the accused. One
thing is certain and hat is their stand
ing in the pugilistic world is shattered
beyond repair. They are both scientific
men and are good drawing cards, but
fight promoters throughout the ountr
would hardly dare to give them an en-
gagement after all that has been said
about them. lie brand of dishonesty is
upon them and it will take more than a
denial Of the accusations brought against
them to remove that brand Money is
the goal that everybody strives to reach
and as both Mccoy and COrbett have
reached that much-cOVeted spot they
can afford to sit 1T the rlngside and
comment on the doings Of their brother
pugilists.
The quartet Of Brooklyn boxers that

Chicago fighters showed conclusively they
were not accustomed to six-round con-
tests. Anything from ten rounds up
would be more to their liking and there
rounds in last Tuesday nights bouts
been strung out to ten they would awe
carried Off all the hOnors, as they We're
the stronger after their respective
bouts. Sullivan. who was touted a. a
world beaten, did not come up to ex-
DPCtltiOnS either in point of clavarnhSS
or hitting powers. He used rough and
at times unfair tactics. His rough work
consisted in trying to wrench RyanS
neck whenever he won it in chancery,
and his unfair tactics were attempts to
swing his left arm over from his Ugh
shoulder a la kid Mccoy. The blow
is fair when connections are made with
the glove, but the forearm and wrist
is more to connect than is the glove, and
is therefore foul. Sullivan attempted
this blow at least a half dozen times in
the two last rounds, but fortunately did
not land. He made a good showing wit
the exception of the second and third
rounds. Ryan had INN a bit queer in the
second, and had a good margin in the
third. Sullivan was a bit chary in the
early cart of the fourth and made six
straight left han leads without con-
Meeting. He got closer toward the end
of the round and dlu better. Ryan tired
in the fifth and sixth and kept out of
distance as much as possible, and it was
fortunate for him the limit was but six
rounds, as Sullivan made up the ground
he lost in the second and third and was
going good and strong at the end.
The Feitz-Rauch bout was not a gilt
tering affair. Rauch was i'll and did not
show up in his usual form. Feltz was
tipped as a second edition of McGoverli,
but he was slow in comparison. His
left hand leads were off color. They were
a bit long in reaching their object, and.
as he overbalanced when delivering, he
Invariably fell into a clinch.
His short arm work in close quarters
was on Terry's principles only. His
arms moved right, but he leaned too far
forward, which, besides placing him in
an unnatural position, took the steam
out of his blows. He was in fine condi-
ton and colud have gone twenty rounds
as fast as he did the six, which would
ave been too much for Rauch.
McPadden, who met Rotchford, showed
up we'll at long range in the first two
peatedly> Rotchford, advised by his
seconds, countered McPadden's leads
after the second round, and from then
m held his IVY in long-range work. He
showed better than did the easterner
in close quarters, hitting with the free
arm apparently being new to the latter.
Rotchford accidentally hit low in the
fourth round, n this, SO McPadden's
traine said, caused the latter to slow
The cleverest and cleanest hitter of the
quartet was Johnny Reagan, and he
made it warm for Clarence Forbes.
Reagan's blocking and slipping in and
out OF danger were loudly %applauded.
Forbes tried a number of his old tricks,
such aus shifting from the left foot to the
right and feinting ~grogginess, but he
failed to draw Reagan into the traps.
Clarence also had a tendency to hit with
the open glove, and repeatedly landed
with sounding reports, but, as those
blows count for naught in a boxing con-
test. he received no credit for them.
