MCCOY
BEATS
THE DUTCH
PDacke, the Holland FugiIiSt
Easily Defeated by
American

Philadelphia, April 6.--Harry PlaclSe
the champion of Holland, made sor
ny spectacle of himself last night in
"a fight with Kid Mccoy at the Lenox
Club. Standing six inches taller and
weighing 20 pounds or more than his
pale-faced opponent, he was beaten
almost insensible in less than four
minutes.
Placke never laid glove on Mccoy,
except when the mel clinched, and the
cool, calculating Mccoy darted in and
out and around his hurley opponent
almost like lightning. He would feint
with his right, and then drive his left
TO the face viclousIy, scarcely ever
Ealing to bring the blood.
In the first round Placke was COW
cred with blood from his waist to his
neck, and his eyes were almost
closed. Just before the gong sounded
announcing the close of the first
round, Mccoy drove a vicious flush to
the chin. dropping Placke like log.
The gong saved him from being
knocked out. He was carried to bis |
corner, only to be knocked out 10 sec |
onds after the second round was
called Mccoy feinted with his right, |
and then drove his left square to the
point of Plackes chin. The latter in
tuitiVely placed his left hand over the
damaged organ and dropped to his
knees. The blood was running from
him in a stream. AS he knelt by the
ropes the police appeared at the ring
side and stopped the bout.
Placke came into the ring at 1908
y. m. It was 10 minutes later when
Mccoy appeared in the ring. Placke
announced his weight at 241k pounds
and Mccoy at 1863.

fmpOsitiOns ever practiced on the
credulOus English public. It was the
result OF wager between the Duke
Of Montague and a friend. In dis

English he declared that if an impos.

jump into a Quart bottle all London
would 90 to see him do II. The WAGER
was taken up and an advertisement
inserted in all the papers that the
event would take place in the Hay

theater on that night was packed. and
many thousands were turned from
the door The stage conjurer an
peared on the stage and told the peo-
pie that if they would pay double price
he would jump into a pint instead of a
quart bottle. He then made his exit
through a rear door and carried on
the box receipts with him. The Aft
fair ended in a riot and the theater
was almost wrecked. The Duke of
