Game That He Never Dreamed OF Before.
BY ROBERT EDGREN.

To-day kid" Mccoy, the ring fox begins coaching Jack Mmros at
Sea Beach Tavern. San Franctoo. for his light with Jerries Oh ne 2Gb.
During the eleven days that intervene Munroe will learn things about
che lighting game that he neve dreamed OF before.
Mccoy trained the miner for his fight with Tom Sharkey,. and credit
10 due the Hoosier for the manner in which Munros carried OF the honors'
1t was McCoys fight all the way. In Munross corner, watching every
movement of both men, Mccoy stood As soon Is the bell rang and Mum
roe came back for the interval OF rest, the KID leaned over him. and in
abort, snappy sentences gave him his fighting orders for the next round
Mccoy was the general and Munroe was the army.
Z During the training, which was done in the KIDS gymnasium on
Forty second street. Mccoy punched and punched Munros, hitting the same
blows that are used by sharkey. until the miner finally learned how TO
avoid Of block them. He taught Jack the best ways to get home smashes
on the rugged sailor. and how to land IN the weak spots. Munroes battle
was made to order by Mccoy. and his work At better than that OF any
tailor on Broadway.
MUNROE HAS SENSE.
Munroe is not altogether without sense. and he realizes Just what the
clever kid" accomplished. He gives credit to Mccoy. instead OF taking
81 all himself. Munroe now that Mccoy Is on the field. will work with
doubled confidence.
The Mccoy brain, working svenEali-ike in the body Of Munroe, will
DO much to Offset the borhr-mahrs bulk and ceverness.
Mccoy takes delight In marking any man who trains with him. When
Murroe as working for the fight with Sharkey the kid" blacksned both
Of the miners eyes. Munroe says that a black eye Is his mascot and that
he never will lose a fight when he goes into the ring Win one or two Of
them. Like all men who work underground. the miner 10 supsrNiiouA He
told me a while ago that he believed the nrst time he fought without taking
. black eye into the ring with him he would be whipped,
DOES LITTLE HARD HITTING.
when training under the coaching OF Kid" Mccoy Munroe DOES very
little hard hitting himself He Is satisfied TO let the Kid" do all that and
TO take whatever comes. lie boxes cautiously. letting Mccoy land, studying
the effect Of his punches aud trying to figure out how to get in q return. II
Munroe has one particular tah . a lighter 1t 10 that he studies too much In
the ring He Is a little too cool and deliberate Ho Is big and strong
enough to 60 in and punch with any one Terry McGovsrn never won his
battles by studying out blows and guards, He always piled in on top OF his
mar and sussed as fast IS possible II Munros did the same thing with q
fighter like Jenres who is clever as well as big and strong. he would have
. better chance OF winning.
Mccoy trained Munroe to fight sharkey with the style best calculated to
beat him. He has watched Jerres in many Of his best fights and he is able
10 do the trick.
Funny, isn't It, how kid" Mccoy kteps on Tommy Ryan's tral' First
he tncked Ryan into a match and beat him. Now, when Ryan has the credit
for making Jenres champion, the kid" is trying 10 coach up a new cham.
pdon to beat Jen.
