FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
Boxing Contests are Few and Far Between.

Some Yale Boxers May Go to England, But Not Under the Name of Yale-- Kid Mccoy and Garter Hatch Ar l ranged-Bill Crowley Still Receiving Letters for Corbett and McGovern
 Bout-Joe Choynski Issues Broad Challenge.
 Bill Crowley of the Nutmeg club is receiving letters daily from various clues ln the state regarding the Me- Govern-Corbett match. He is nat urally disappointed at being denied a license to carry out his program in Hartford next fall, but will do the next best thing now that Hartford has turned it's back upon him. Bill says | he never conducted a prize fight in his life and never will. because he has too much respect for the law, and also because he never was a promoter of that sort of entertainment. It is known that he has been asked to ref cree private contests in various places, but always declined, when it became evident that the law was to be defied. | lie considers it inconsistent to refuse a permit to allow such trained athletes l as McGoyern and Corbett to box when permission is being granted untrained youngsters to engage in boxing exhi- bltions. My shows he says, 'shave | always been conducted properly, some | or the best people in the city have at tended them. there has been no row dylsn1. facts which are we'll known to Mayor Sullivan, who has seen the most of them.''
 Kid Mccoy and Kid Carter are to box after all. McCoy's manager said yesterday that the encounter had not been called off for good, but that the pair will meet at Philadelphia in six round bout on May Is instead of to- morrow night. NIcCoy's injured left hand, which caused him to postpone the mill with Carter, is fast mending and he expects to be all right in q l few days. McCoy's proposed tilt with Al Weinig at Chicago will not be held because of Weinig's defeat by Choynski Mccoy has authorized Jack Hermann of the International A. C., Fort Erie. to arrange a twenty round bout for him with Jack Root of Chicago.
 Joe Choynski, who is in Louisville, has posted q forfeit in that city and issued the following challenge: T am prepared to box either Marvin Hart or Kid Mccoy twenty or twenty five rounds at catch weights in Louis vile before the club hanging up the | biggest purse. In consideration of my victory over Weinig I think I am entitled to recognition. I am keeping in the best of condition, and if Me- Coy or Hart accepts I will be ready to box within three weeks. If Hart or Mccoy do not care to take me on,
 will be ready to give Kid Carter an
 other chance.7
 New Haven, May S.-Ya1e athletic
 leaders are stirred mp because some Yale man conferred with Lea and Gavin, who were in New York recent ly as representatives of q London sporting club, and arranged to senG over team of boxers from Yale fol the coronation week carnival. With in a few days S700 has been received in this city from the manager of the London club to defray the expenses o1 the Yale boxers to England. Yale's
 athletic managers at the time the rep resentatiyes of the London club were
 in this country notified the English
 men that Yale had no team of boxers
 and that boxing contests were prohib
 ited at the university and therefore
 Yale might be counted out on that par
 of the coronation program. It is the | 141,, Nf V,n1n Tn London club officials that no Yale mer
 would be allowed to represent, in any
 way the university as boxers at the
 coronation. But the $700 is in tht
 hands of the Yale student who con. ferred with the Englishmen and ht will undoubtedly pick q set of Yale men who are thoroughbreds in tho
 manly art and land them all right 1T
 London for the coronation fstic con tests.
