The Root-Mccoy Bout.

Sportsnen are still talking about the
Jack Root-Kid Mccoy fight held re-
Gently at Detroit, in which the former
won over Mccoy on points in ten
round go. The result of the fight was
not SO much a tribute to Roots ability
a it was an evidence that Mccoy has
clearly 'gone back"
Fighters will soon realize that they
cannot drop all thought of training fer
a considerable length of time without
paying the penalty. Mccoy was in his
prime about three years ago, but by
careless living he has ruined almost
every chance of ever again becoming a
factor in the pugilistic world. Root is
not a fighter of the first class, nor of
the second class either, for that matter.
He simply depends on brute strength
and weight to wear man down, and
he has no more science in his make up
than there is gold in the ordinary apple
pie. Yet he literally pounded the Hoo
sier all over the ring, knocking him
down with impunity Tor with his fists)

signs of his old time brilliancy when
