I compliment with a blow on Tommys
nose. But before they could go further
| the police were between them.
The Tattersall's management aomitted
after the fight that the draw agreement
was correct. but said Hogans decision

So far as the fight is concerned, Nc

fight. Ryan shook the Kid up badly q
number Of times, however. with right

and was apparently fully as fresh as mas

The two rivals for m~iddleweight hon.
| ors weighed in at Malachy Hogan's at s
| o'clock his afternoon. Mccoy. with a
heavy undershirt on, barely tipped the
i scale at the stipulated wefght-lSS
pounds. Ryan, however. did not bulge
! it. He probably weighed about 154
| pounds.
The first event on the card was sched-

| seat and available bit of standing room
was occupied and long lines OF anxious
sports stood at the various entrances

gest crowd that has gathered in latter
sails in years. Betting on the fight Was
not heavy. Mccoy was a hot favorite at
2 to 1, with but little Ryan money IN
sight ever at these figures. There was,
however, considerable money bet at the
ringside that Syracuse Tommy would
| stay the six rounds.
1t was 1880 .. m. before Mccoy. at
tended by Billy Stiff, Harry Harris, Ho-
mer Selby and Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien as seconds, climbed through the
ropes and took the orthwes corner OF
the ring. A few moments later Tommy
Ryan. accompanied by Harry Gilmore.
Jack Jeffrie,s and Pal Earle, climbed into
the ring amid a roar of cheers and walk
; ed over to the southeast corner.
Mccoy had entered the ring with his
hands heavily bandaged, and over
Ryan's insistence that the bandages De
removed a wordy contest was Waged be-
tween the seconds. For nearly ~ MN
utes. amid the Kisses of the crowd ana
shouts of Take 'em off," Mccoy sat ST.
lent in his corner, refusing to take the
tape from his hands. The articles al
lowed soft bandages. but Ryan insisted
that the tape on McCoy's hands was
much harder than allowable. Finally
George Siler and two members of the
press were agreed upon by both to set
tie the dispute. That tape is all right
said Siler, and Ryan in disgust walked
back to his corner.
The gloves were quickly donned and
Referee Malachy Hogan called the men
to the center of the ring for final instruc-
tions. 1t was apparent as the men STOOD
listening to Hogan that both were in the
finest possible condition.
