Coy Is quite generally upheld by the
morning peers here, although two OF
them claim that Choynskl was treated
unfairly. All the papers argue that the
mistake Of the time keeper was deplor-
able and that in that respect the Cal
lfornian did not receive rs just dues.
Time Keeper Dunn refused TO discuss
the fight He closed his watch and left
the building. But he was seen to pro-
test TO the referee at the end of the
second round that he was right.
Choynskl, In an interview with a
World representative said: 81 was

out IN the second round with a right
swing on the jaw and he was down

keepers, the clubs and my own. agreed
on that, and Dunn rang the bell to in
dlcate that the fight was over. It was
called a round. but Mccoy had one
minute and forty seconds 10 recover

Many Of the spectators when seen
around the up town hotels late last
night declared that Choynski should
have been given more consideration and
there were not a few who limited at

ayers OF the club and McCoy's follow
ers aver that everything was fair and
that Referee White could, under the
circumstances, have rendered no other
decision.
Round 1--McCoy was first to land
with left hook on the jaw, Joe broke
away and Mccoy forced him to his cor
ner, where Choynskl slipped to the
floor. The Californian jumped up
quickly and placed left swing on Nc
Coys jaw. but the Kid sent back a cou-
pie Of hard lefts on the face and stiff
right over the heart, Mccoy had all
the better OF the round.
Round 2-Choynski sent the Kid 20
the floor with right on the jaw Nc
Coy took nine seconds OF the count and
when he got up Choynskl sent him down
again with a left on the neck. Twice
more Mccoy was floored, and he went
to his corner bleeding badly from the
nose and mouth.
Round S-McCoy fought like crazy
man when he rushed out OF his corner.
and Choynskl was equally erratic. They
set all ring rules al defiance. but Nc
Coy got the better of the Western man
at close quarters. Choynski rushed Nc
Coy, but the Kid was too spry on his
feet, and Joe Slipped 10 the floor in
vain attempt TO land swing. When
Joe got I'D he ran into a clInch, from
which the refscee had 10 separate the
men. Then Choynsk landed a right
swing on the jaw and Mccoy went
down, taking nearly seven seconds OF
the count.
When Mccoy got up Choynsk rushed
at him. but his legs gave way and he
fell 60 the floor. but regained his feet in
an instant, Mccoy was queer in his leg
movement. but went IN and mixed II
UP. In a hot rally Mccoy hooked his
right 90 the Jaw, Choynskl landing his
left at The same moment, and both men
went down. just as they got up the
men rushed at each other. and the bell
rung while they were mixing things up
In lively fashion. Neither man evldentl
ly heard the gong, and Mccoy whipped
his right over on the jaw and ChoynsM
fell. There were cries OF Foul, FOUL"
as Choynskl was carried TO his corner
and the Californian was unable TO re-
spond when the bell called him for the
fourth.
Choynski's seconds threw up the
sponge as Mccoy rushed from his cor
ner for the opening OF the fourth round,
and Mccoy was declared the winner.
Mccoy was a positive favorite In the
betting. A few wagers were made al
odds OF 100 10 30. but there were many
offers ut 100 10 25 Even money that
Choynsll would last ten rounds was
plentiful. McCoy's hackers made o
number OF bets at 100 to 90 that Nc
Coy would knock his man out inside of
ten rounds.
