The KIDS First Defeat.

Mccoy had not been home very lons
before he was again seized with the
wanderlust, and went to Cleveland
where ne was matched to night Billy
stefYens on May 10. Steffens was then
considered one OF the best middle
weights In the Middle West. Sterens
knocked Mccoy down In tho first
round. Later in the same round he hit
the Kid low and knocked him down
again. Mccoy could not get up and.
although his seconds s~trenuously
claimed the fight on a foul. the referee
gave the decision to Sterens. This was
his first defeat.
Mccoy was very sore over the result
OF this light and Immediately offered
to fight any man In his class In the
West. Eight days later he was matched
with Jim Baron OF Australia at Mime
apolis. Baron was one OF the best men
who had ever come over from Australia.
He had repeatedly challenged Tommy
Ryan, Dick Burge, George Dawson. and
many other welterweights, but they
had all ducked him. After ten ounds
of the hardest fighting that Mccoy had
yet experienced, the referee called the
bout a draw. Many of the spectators
thought the Kid had earned the de-
clslon. This fight brought the Kid

he had received up to that time. lie

revenge on Billy Steffcns. On that date
the men were matched to fight ten
rounds to a decision in Cleveland. Mccoy
was promised a fight with the we'll
known Australian. Shadow Maber. II he
beat Steffens. which was an additional
incentive. for Maber was a high-class
man. The Kid got his revenge n beat
Steffens up pretty badly. This time he
got the decision. This fight vas also for
gate receipts. Mccoy did not get the
fight with Maber right away. but was
matched to fight ten rounds to a deci-
sion for gate receipts with Al Roberts
at Cincinnati before the Stag Athletic
Club. Roberts was the best man around
Cincinnati. and the result was a draw.
The Kid claimed he was sick and asked
for a return match. As a matter of fact
he did go home IN laid off until Jan.
10. 1895, when he got his return match
and knocked Roberts out in Ave ounds
Shortly after this Mccoy got his prom
ised match with Shadow Maber down at
Memphis. Tenn. This was a ten-round
affair for a purse OF $1,000. and although
the Australian was a big favorite the
Kid bested him and d~eservedly won the
decision. Mccoy came East again. n
his time got TO Boston. On April 10 he
fought Jack Wilkes of st. Louis In the
big New England city. Wilkes was "a
rafting good man. and Mccoy was not
thought TO have much of a nance with
him. but the Kid surprised the sports by
beating wilkes in two rounds. He made
many friends In this fight during his
training. especially among the news

again that no individual or institution
would receive a cent of the money
arising from this sale, but that, on
the contrary, the entire proceeds
would go into the academy endow-
ment fund, to be used in perpetuating
the academic school--the sole object
the pioneer residents of Dallas had
when they donated this land for
school purposes. If the land cannot
be sold and the present arrangement
with the college continued, the acad-
emy will have to go out of existence
and the very purpose of these old
pioneers will be defeated. Not only
this, but it is extremely probable that
the college itself, in view of federated
educational interests with the Evan
geical Association, would be COM
PEELED to close its doors and seek a
new location in a more friendly com
munity.
During the manyS years the OBJ
server has been published in Dallas,
it has always sought to build up--not
to tear down. The paper may have
flying to reflect that it has always
sought to hold the institutions and
Industries we have, as well as to gain
new ones. When we have had grounds
to believe that the city was in danger
of losing valuable institution, we
have endeavored to sound warning
and urge that no mistake be made
lit IL .
and the consequent loss to Dallas. So
in this instance, we earnestly ask the
voters of Dallas to carefully consider
all existing circumstances and condi-
tions connected with this important
question before going into the voting
booth and casting a ballot that might
result in the loss to Dallas of two inn
portant educational institutions
schools, which aside from their value
to the young men and young women
of Oregon have been the means of
bringing into Dallas each year more
new money than is asked for the val
liable ground now offered for sale by
the academy trustees.
Every person that has observed the |
work of the college knows its worth
to the rising generation; every mer-
chant in Dallas knows the value of
this school to his business. If the
college is worth $4,000 or more each
year to Dallas under present condi-
tions, how much greater it's value
would be as the only Western insti-
tuition of learning of two, and possibly
three, churches having strong mem
bership in every state in the Pacific
Northwest. Let every taxpayer con-
slider the future as well as the present
when casting his ballot on this ques-
ton next Monday afternoon.
