Mccoy Won In Five Rounds.

"Kid" Mccoy again placed himself in
the championship class by defeating
Peter Maher in brisk, well-fought
battle of five rounds before the Coney
Island Athletic club on the afternoon of
Jan. 1. The fight was scheduled to last 25
rounds, and the purse was to have been
$50, 900, but the attendance was not as
large as had been expected, and before
the fight was begun, the principals
agreed that the winner should receive
the gross gate receipts. The battle
was hard-fought from start to finish,
but Mccoy was far the cleaverer man
in ring tactics, lodging, side-stepping
and hitting powers. He showed him
self to be good ring general, ever
watching for an opening and never
failing to take advantage of one.
Maher, although credited with being
a heavy hitter, did not get in many ef-
fective blows His foot-work was poor,
and at times he did not appear to have
perfect control of himself.
