nights fight declare that it was the clev-
crest exhibition ever witnessed in the
ring. Up to the moment the men stopped
into he ring opinions as to their raspec-
tive ability were widely divergent. Many
claimed that Corbett would prove to he
the stronger. as we'll as the cleverer, and
it was through his superb feinting and
heavy smuggling that he put Mccoy down
and out. McCoy's friends all along have
claimed that he was equally as dexterous
with his hands, eyes and feet as the for
mer champion, and in addition to this
they said that the Kid could hit harder
than Corbett. All who have met Nc

powerful ones and that they sting and
cut wherever they land. Tonight. how
ever. while Mccoy landed some singing
labs. he did not cut COrbett's skin. nor
did he land 4 single heavy right and
blow during the contest. On the ~ther
hand. Corbett. when he dropped science
and began to slug, landed hard rights
and lefts which simply took McCoy's
guard away and when Corbett found q
vulnerable spot in the region OF McCoy'a
heart two lefts, divided by a right. ended
thhe battle.
