Kid Mccoy is evidently becoming
more han fond Of life on the briny
deep. The Hoosier pugilist sailed for
ENGLAND this week after a brief stay in
this country Only five weeks ago he
sailed for Naples and returned after a
flying visit. Now he Is on the ocean
again. Mccoy says the object Of his
present trip 10 England is the purchase
Of some choice coach and hackney
horses to be used for breeding pur-
poses on his farm near Saratoga. IT
has been suggested in explanation of
the KIDS sudan desire to play the role
ofSgiobe trotter that the slender Indiana
boxer is anxious TO build up his system
until he is husky enough to figure
prominently in the heavyweight class.
T Mccoy has often gazed with envy on
the ma ssive chest and bulky frame of
tx Seaman Sharkes and it is limited
that he is going to try the salt breeze
tonic sEd endeavur to broaden his beam
and place few extra layers Of muscle
on his frame. Some of McCoy's init
mates claim that he figures that II
Sharkey could get husky following a
Iseaman's life there certainly should be
d chance for him. Other acquaintance
l,of Mccoy however. declare they have
lseolved the puzzle connected with the
| fighters hopscotching trips across the
pond. They have discovered that the

\ ocean liners, without fear of police in
terfereEce, are a powerful magnet The
crafty Hoosier. it is said. has been very
successful at his new pastime. Some 81

coniided to them that playing poker on
the ocean greyhounds beats fighting a

gathering proposition.
