KID Mccoy IS DOWN
AND OUT OF GAME.
The PuaiIist's Health Is Bad
and Fight With Sullivan
Declared Off

LOS ANGELES, Jan. kid Mccoy.
once the peer of ring strategists, is down
and out, and from present indications he
will never don the mitts again.
He gave out statement today and his
friends say the kid means all he says:
My fight with Twin Sullivan is all Off
that is for the present I am just as
sorry as anyone can be about it, but the
fact of the matter is that my health won't
stand the strain of training. The doctor
says I will have to get out of here for
a while, and leave tonight for San Fran
cisco.'
Mccoy has been in bed for couple Of
days and is far from WELL All who know
the fighter say that there rs nothing un-
expected in the news. For the past few
weeks, in fact ever since he started in
to train seriously for his fight with Sulli-
van, he has shown great weakness. He
had all along insisted that serious train
ing was not necessary to cope with Sui
Ivan, but that was merely an excuse to
desert the camp from where it was hoped
he would emerge in fit shape to put up a
battle with the twin that had been
eagerly anticipated here Z
AT the Century club, where the mill was
to take place. the officials were inclined to
take the story with LOT Of salt, but a
careful look over the kid convinced them
that he was in no more condition to train
for the go than he was to fly.

AFTER ACTOR JAMES
Robert Offers a Side Bet of
$4,000 for the
Fight

NEW YORK, Jan. Bob Fitzsimmons
Is again on the warpath Fitzsimmons ar
rived in town today and Immediately is
sued challenges to the men that he is most
anxious to meet in the ring. James J.
Corbett, Jack O'Brien and Tommy Ryan
are the trio that he is desrous of fighting
before he quits the ring for good. As all
three have hurled defiant javelins at Fitz-
simmons IT is probable that he will be
accommodated.
OF most interest to the followers Of
pugilism Is. the probability of these two
great rivals-Fitzsimmon and Corbett-
coming together again in the ring. The
enmity that existed between them long be-
fore they fought their great champion
ship battIe-at Carson City in 1897 has not
died out, as is still apparent when either
talks of the other.
Only a few days ago Corbett said that
Fitzsfmmons was the one man he wanted
to engage in battle before he quit the ring
for good, for he has always believed that
he could defeat the Cornishman If they
ever met again. Today Fitzsimmons re-
s'fterated his statement that he would give
Corbett a fight just as soon as the latter
was ready to clinch match.
And you can say for me-" added Fitz-
simmons, "that all Corbett has to do to
show that he means business is to post
Immediately. and then we can let the
amount go as side wager. I would never
refuse to give this fellow Corbett chance
to regain his lost laurels. That wouldn't
be fair
AS for Ryan and O'Brien, Fitzsimmons
says it is up to both of them to meet him
to settle the question Of middleweight
champion .Fitzsimmons still claims the
middleweight championship, and said that
he was ready at all times to defend i.
against all corners.
don't know why they call this fellow
Ryan the middleweight champion said
Fitz. "I am the champion, and Ryan never
fought me for the title. 1 never refused
to fight any one at the middleweight
limit. In fact, have never weighed more
than the middleweight limit, 15S pounds,
in any of my fights. That is my normal
weight. I had to take the big fellows on
and concede them many pounds because
couldn't get a fight with those in my
class.
81 will fight Ryan or O'Brien at any time
for the middleweight championship. Just
let either of them post forfeit of $4,000
to show that he is sincere and really wants
to fight and I will do the rest. 1 will be
ready to enter the ring after the theatrical
season closes"
