Inc championship fight between
Jeffries and Rubin, scheduled to take

OF may not come off. One day the wires
mi orm us that Mayor Fleischmann has
cecided to issue the permit and that
everything is lovely. The next day this
is denied and it is officially announced
that the fight is off. The Inter Mountain

Macon. He has courted his divorced wife
al! over again, and his counting has been
successful for last Monday night in
Boston they were reunited in the bonds
Of matrmony, and let us hope that this
time the union will be lasting. The old
adage has it, "A fault confessed is half
rcdressed." Mccoy has not only con.
fessed that he was at fault when he lis
tened to those who brought tales about
his wife, but he has made honorable
amend by putting the stamp of his I'M
belief on these tales by again wedding
his former wife.
hope that hereafter perfect confidence
may exist between them, and that never
will they allow any one to tell them tales
about the other. The man, or woman

band and wife and to separate them is
iA most cases a despicable wretch, lower
IN the social scale almost than a pro-
curer or procuress. Such people rarely
act from good motives. Mccoy now
knows that those who interfered between

tiyes. AS 1 said before, let him steer
clear of these miscreants and SO behave
himself as to command the love and re-
spect OF the woman who has forgiven
and pardoned him for the commission
of one of the gravest crimes that a man
can perpetrate against woman.
The day after Mccoy was married he
was matched to box his old conuueror
Tom Sharkey. They are to meet in San
Francisco and box the best of 20 rounds
before the club which Big Jim Kennedy
is to manage in the metropolis of the
Golden State. Both men are to go into
training in few weeks, and the match
is certain to produce the most lively in.
terest in sporting circles.
Mccoy will probably take his pre-
liminary breathings at Billy Muldoons
sanatorium In Westminster county Shar-
key will do his preliminary work at West
Paden Springs in Indiana. Both men
intend being present at the champion
ship contest between Jeffries and Rubin
in Cincinnati, after which they will pro.
coed to the Pacific coast to finish thei-
training.
Since Sharkey met Mccoy he has had
several fights, and has received terrible
punishment. In the last five rounds of
his fight with Jeffries at Coney Island
