NEW YORK. Jan. 12-Kid Mccoy
got the decision over Joe choynski in a
bout which lasted three rounds, at the
Broadway Athletic Club, tonight.
choynskI would have had the night in
the second round were It not for an ac-
cIdent as to time-keeplng. He had
aoored the Kid four times, but the
time-keeper pulled the bell as Mccoy
was counted for the limit of ten seconds
and this saved the Kid from absolute
defeat. Choynokrs seconds protested
vigorously, but Referee Johnny White
while knowing that the round was short
bv many seconds, stood by the ohicial
time-keeper and ordered the men to
continue when the gong rang for the
opeuing Of the third round.
Choynski's cleverness outpointed ana
out-shadowed all OF McCoy's clever ring
work. Mccoy having escaped defeat in
the second round was again lucky In
the third, as the blow with which he
sent Choynskl down and out was de-
liyered almost two seconds after the
bell had rung for the completion Of the
third round. There was great deal of
noise in the building at the time the
gong sounded and undoubtedly neither
man heard the clang OF the bell. In the
northeastern portion Of the building
there was a tumult. caused by one OF
the spectators dropping dead. The man
was very much excited during the bout
and expressed himeslf freely as to Nc
Coy's being out before the bell rang.
He slid from his seat dead as the bell
sounded for the beginning Of the third
round.
Colonel Mike Padden, time-keeper for
Mccoy, said afterwards that the round
was clipped by forty seconds; that Nc
Coy was groggy and practically out
when the gong rang.
Choynskl. while feeling rather sore,
said that he had no fault to find with
the referee, and in conversation with
the latter exhonerated White from all
blame.

same conditions, the bout to take place
