mccoy AND FITZGERALD
IN VERY SLOW BOUT
Both Fighters Give Poor Ex-
hibition in Six Rounds and
Crowd Kisses Them.

PHILADELPHIA, March 21.-There
was hardly a clean punch landed in the
bout between Kid Mccoy Of New York.
the "come-back'' kid. and Jack Frtzger-
aid of this city, last night in the wind
up at the American Athletic Club, and
1t proved one of the slowest fights ever
witnessed in this city. Mccoy showed a
little Of his former self by jabbing his
opponent and then getting out of harm
way. but even at that it was plain to
be Seen that the local lad failed to ex-
tend himself in any found, and the crowd
showed It's disapproval many times dur
ing the bout.
Fitzgerald had hard work getting near
to Mccoy. as he generally poked out his
left, holding "Fftz" back. The referee
was about the hardest worked Individual
in the ring. he having continually to
break the fighters in the clinches The
crowd. took it good-humoredly In the
FIRST session. as they were under the i'm
preston that each was sizing up the
other. but when the remaining rounds
continued with the same tactics, without
either one trying to let out, there were
many who got disguised and left the
building before the bout was finished.
Fftzgerald's best punch was in the third
round, when he copied Mccoy coming
In with a hard left on the jaw. 1t ap-
peared to the spectators at this stage
that the local lad was going to stop the
aspirations OF his opponent. but he failed
to follow up this advantage, apparently
letting his opponent get his second wind.
There was nothing to 1t but Mccoy, with
his short left jabs. though they carried
little steam behind them. and it looked
as II he would not have lasted the limit

Bill Cunningham's idea of how a young
athlete should take care of himself dur
ing the off season has undergone quite a
change since he Joined the team in At
lanta. Cunny evidently labored under the
impression that the wisest thing for him to
do all winter was to eat. sleep and sit. and
the effect OF this course was that Bill
looked like a we'll fed baby when he re-
ported. But he had to suffer for his
months of idleness. for no player was
of training than the Nationals young
second baseman. 1t is needless to say
that in the future Cunny will keep down
his weight during the off season.. for he
will hardly want to put in another spring
like the present one.
Ground rules will be necessary during
the early games at the local park.
The erection of the new grandstand will
make the playing field smaller than 1t was.
For instance. there will be but forty feet
from the home plate to the stand. and
the left field foul line will cut into the

this state of affairs will be changed as
soon as the team starts on its first trip,
when the new diamond will be arranged

KNIFE FOR BLAcKBURNE.
White Sox 1nielder to Have Float
ing Cartilage Removed.

PHILADELPHIA, March 21.-Russell
Blackburne, who was sent home from
Mineral Springs. Tex. by the White Sox
owing to his inability to play ball. in
tends to go under an operation to have
the floating cartilage removed from his
knee, which has been his hoodoo for the
last two years. Blackburne injured his
knee first playing in Providence two
years ago, and then when going finely for
member. which practically kept him out
season. Blackburne rested the injured
knee carefully and devotedly this VIM
ter, but when he attempted to get into
active harness down in Texas the
knee gave away from under him,
making it impossible for him to
play his game. He came to his
home in Palmyra, n. j., after sur
geons in Chicago had examined the knee,
him to go under an operation.
He intends to go under the knife and
feels sure that he will be able to play
again with the Sox before 1t starts to get
real warm and summary.
Contrary to reports. Blackburne did not
injure himself in any OF the Eastern
League basket ball games he played for
Camden this winter. He played two
games with the Camden team under the
name of Heating, and in neither met
with any accident which could have
bruised his damaged knee. In fact. in
neither game did he play the full forty
minutes, retiring each time at the end
Of the first half owing to lack Of con-
dition.

His greatest fault last season was weak
ness in the field. Unless a lot of the
wise ones here are sadly mistaken. that
charge will not be marked against him
this year.
He has done as much work in the out
field and in handling hunts any other
man on the team. In fact, he never
rests, not even in the hotel. Even in his
room he gets exercise by wrestling with
his roommates.
Gregg is one bundle of good nature and

satisfied unless performing some sort OF
exercise.
