Mr.. O'Rrlen's midrif. The jumping
Jack" came down to earth. Then. for
a minute. 1t looked as II Mccoy were
going In for n quick finish. He Vent
after O'Brien like n Hash. Jack ducked
n raj away, with Mccoy following
him fleetly. O'Brien stopped and
ducked. and Mccoy sll!ltully straight
ened him with an uppercut. O'Brien
mixed things, swinging a hard fight
on the Kids chin. He jabbed Me
Coy several times INC Mccoy repaid
him with n handful OF punches of the
small-charge variety.
O'Brien was laughing bllthely when
he came TO the centre for the second
round, Mccoy jabbed him or the eye
with his left hand. drew it across, and
with n back-hand motion clipped
o Biien on the tip OF the chin. Tho
Philadclphian's feet flew sideways and
lie dropped to his knees. AS scon as
he touched he came back to his feet
with a bound. unhurt. O'Brien missed
a hook n Mccoy Clipped him again.
Once more the knees took a bump, ami
again OBrIen bounced UP like a rub
her ball. This last might have beea
more OF a slip than n knock-down.
Certainly O'Brien was unhurt. and It
Is not McC'oy's style TO knock a man
down without some effect.
O'Brien began rushing. He struck In
a paving fashion, and his blows all
slipped over the Kids neck without
doing damage. Mccoy punched Jack in
the stomach. and o'Brlen laughed harder
than before. There IA more laughing
than lighting in this round.
The third started with a bit OF rough
ing on the part OF Mccoy. He showed
O'Brien's head hack In a ciinch, and
the GROVE yelled, AZ soon q; he got
away O'Bricn began jumping in. Nc
Coy seemed to be firing. His blows
were less snappy. 6'Brlen worked him
into a corner two or three times, and
reached him with long jabs, following
with short right hooks. Most OF these
won't around McCoy's neck. and he
was missing his punches at o'Brien
in the same way. Near the end of the
roucd philadelphia jack punched Me
Coy on the chin, and he wabbled a
little as he gave ground.
Mccoy hit a little. harder In the
fourth. First he shot his right hand
over TO Jacks mouth. and then he
punched him in the body. o'Brien be-
gan talking. He made uncompl,mcnt.
AIRY illusions TO McCoy's style OF fight
ing, and touched on various tender
topics. Mccoy exchanged his smile FOR
the famous sheer. and hammered
o'Brien fefcely on the law with left
and right HOOKS, O'Brien rceled way
and Mccoy followed.
O'Brien jumped In M swung one
hand after another on McCoy's hin.
He drove the Kid To the ropes and both
staggered. This ended tho hard hitting
for the m Mccoy showed Jack
up against the ropes and lumped blows
into his rlbs-llsht blows that did 10
damage. He smashed O'Brien on the
Gus, but the Phliatelphian only srlnned
The New Yorker missed several blows

Mccoy tool a long drink from a

some mixing. and Mccoy rushed.
o'Brien ducked and threw his Shout

him from his feet. That hurt. Mccoy
smashed O'Brien with n hard left hook
fush on the mouth. and sent him reel
