He Is next to Wagner among the regu-
lar hittcrs. and Is throwing as well
as any man In the league. His batting
average NJ to last Saturday was a

THAT seems TO be a matter OF
opinion. friend Fan" Charlie
White thinks that Ryan never
was middleweight champion and that
Mccoy was. Personally disagree with
aim. Mccoy never was middle we,yht
champion, and in his fighting time never
was recognized as champion. He fought.
when at the height OF his career, above
the middleweight limit.
Tommy Ryan was a genuine middle
weight-after graduating from the well
terwelght class-and could easily night

Ryan fought his way into the title lust
as ketcnel did. by beating all OF the
other claimants. He was one OF the
greatest mlddleweights that ever
stepped to the centre Of a ring. He
worked his way to the title after the
virtual retirement OF Bob Fitzslmmons,
who never made any p~retense of de.
