Mccoy wants to be the middle

is very anxious to meet F'itzsimmOns
F'itz has always insisted that he could
make the middleweight limit OF 159.
although men who have seen him
weigh out recently say that he cannot
possibly get to that figure. Aside from
Fitz, Tommy Ryan and Jack O'Brien
are the only men who stand in Nc
COy's way. and O'Brien admits that
Mccoy is his master. Ryan would
hardly be a match for the Kid, in view
of the results of their previous con-

Coy has an excellent chance to get
the title in this class.

If these two men. neither of whom

likely that he will be able to keep

1t is quite likely that Mccoy has
