MATCHED AT LAST.
James j. Corbett and Kid Mccoy
We're matched Tuesday afternoon to
fight before the Twentieth Century
club on the night of Aug. 30. The men
will go 20 rounds under Marquis of
Quecnsbcrry rules.
1t was expected that trouble would
occur when they met at No. 1890 Broad
way, but aside from some rather sar
castle remarks, passed by each, the
meeting was peaceful.
The men had agreed to meet to sign
articles at 80 o'clock. Corbett was
on time, but Mccoy failed to appear
until almost o'clock. As soon us Me-
Coy entered he walked to the opposite
side of the room from where Corbctt
was sitting. For more than five min
u,es neither man said word to the
other. Mccoy looked extremely ncr-
vous ana acted like an amateur max
ing his first match. After about ten
minutes he regaincd his compos,Te
and the men settled down to business.
Corbctt drew from his pocket the
telegram he received from Mccoy yes
tcrdny, and, holding 1t before the lat
ter, said: "Now, there ought TO he
no trouble In signing articles YOU say
here that you will fight me at my own
tcrms--l am going to take your word
for 1t. but make no unrcason'
able demands
Mccoy said; "Wcll, whnt are youI
tcrms?'
Corbctt answered; II will fight YOU
before the Twentieth Century club
The winner to take 20 per cent aud the
loser 30" Mccoy said he was satis
fled with these terms.
Charley White was named by Me
Coy as referee, and was satisfactory
to Corbeit,
The only wranglc that occurred wa'
over bnndagcs, Corbctt ut first In
sisted that no bandngcs be allowed
Mccoy refused to consider that. Ar
tor several caloric remarks the mel
finally agreed that Mccoy would fur
nish material for banduges and Cor
bett woud decide on how much of thu
rolls to he worn by each man. During
this argument Corhctt snid to Mccoy
"Oh, know nothing of bandages
You are an expert on that sort %
thing My speciality Is boxing t'
which Mccoy answered.; "You hay,
not shown much clcvcrncss nj that
either, | imagine"
John ConsidIno aud Goo. w. Grant
the former for Corhetl and the latte
for Mccoy, drew mp articles of agree
,nent and they were signed by botl
men.
