battle at the Bedford A. c. of Brooklyn
two weeks ago, are going to fight again
before the same club on next Monday

Jim Driscoll, the matchmaker of the club.
Their coming bout ought to be a hummer.
Jim Stewart, the elongated heavy
weight. is not going to follow i'm the foot
steps of Mccoy and retire from the ring.
against Mccoy. he nevertheless is of the
opinion that he can still fight, and his
manager, Jimmy De Forest, last night
matched him to fight John Willie. the Chi
cago heavyweight. for six rounds at the
next stag of the State A. c. of Philadel-
phia on Friday night. If Stewart is
beaten by Willie he had better leave the
game.
Phil Brock. the Cleveland lightweight,
who fought SO many good fights in New
York year ago, and who went to Cali
fOrnia, where he engaged in few more
hard scraps. is back in town looking for
battle with any of the good light
weights. Brock would like to get on a
bout with the winner of the Mcfarland
Cross fight or with Young Otto" Brock
and Tommy Murphy would make a great
scrap.

ing against Jim Stewart. which at first
disheartened him. Kid Mccoy. after a
conference with his manager. Harry Pol
lock, and several intimate friends. de-
cided to remain in the game. and left
New York yesterday for his training
quarters at Marlboro. where he will put
in another month of hard work and
then try for a fight with Joe Thomas.
81 felt very bad after reading the re-
ports of my fight with Stewart and de-
cided not to try and come back" Mccoy
said. However. after talk with my
friends, who have shown me that 1 did
fairly well considering the pace / had
lived for five years, 1 am now fully con-
WINGED that l can make good. and Jack
O'Brien is going to take me back to
Marlboro, where he will keep me at work
until I am right And If work can do it
you will see the old Mccoy again.
