KID MCCOY TO FIGHT AGAIN
Fox Of the Pdgilistic Ring Signs Up
to Tackle Charlie Miller.
KEEPS IN GOOD CONDITION
Former Wizard OF COrlSscrew Fame
Never FOrEets to Take Phys
teal Care of Himself in
Gymnasium.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Kid Mccoy. the
fox of the ring is going to fight again.
The discoverer Of the corkscrew punch
is now in San Francisco. where he has
signed to tackle Charley Miller in a four
round bout on August 2S.
From time to time Mccoy. who is now
Al years old feels called upon to demon
strate his oft-repeated assertion that the
men OF today do not compare with the
stars OF his time. And so far Mccoy has
been able TO get away with It without
suffering a defeat. Two years ago Nc
Coy took on John Willie and Jim Savage
at Browns gymnasium. Both men were
forced 20 bow TO the veteran. Having
thus pointed his argument Mccoy
wisely retired from the field without go
ing any farther. A few months ago Nc
Coy obtained match with Georges Car
pentier in Paris, under the impression
that the Frenchman was an overrated
boxer. However. he soon discovered that
Carpenter really could fight, so Mccoy
very shrewdly called off the match.
Mccoy is strong for physical culture
and has kept himself in good condition.
In his bout with Savage he demonstrated
that for a round or two he was stll dan
gerous, although he tired rapidly. In
fact it took his last remaining ounce OF
strength 10 land the coma eiout. II the
blow had failed Mccoy would not have
been able to last another round himself.
Evidently Mccoy believes that he can
go four rounds without any great trouble.
especially with such an uneouth work
man as the Frisco motorman. Unless
the veteran sucC umbs from exhaustion.
Miller Is not likely to land a blow. II
Mccoy stin retains anything OF his old
wailop he may even win with a quick
knockout

RICHIE MAKING AN OLD CRY
Raises Time.Honored Question of
Fighting Versus Boxing.
ORDER CHANGED WITH BOUTS
New ReEime of the Ring Started
when Limited BATTLES Are SEIZED
uIed and HOnors We're
Given on Points.


NEW YORK, Aug. 22.--while Richie
repeated assertions that he was de-
prived CT the lightweight champion
ship by poor decision has given
fresh impetus TO a question that is as
old as glove fighting. The question is
whether fighting should be given the
preference over boxing in deciding cham.
pionship bouts.
Richie admits that Welsh landed NOR,
often and had the better defense, but
maintains that his harmless taps should
not have counted. Richie says that as
he, himself, did all the real fighting he
should have been allowed TO share the
honors OF a draw at least. This on the
ground that although he failed TO ac-
oomplish much, Welsh for his part did
not even try 70 do anything worth while.
Those who uphold Ritchie's ideas In
Judging an important battle assert that
In the beginning all pugillstic encounters
went TO finish the only logical method
Of determining the winner; that shorten
Ing the bouts was made necessary merely
to eliminate the brutality OF long drawn
out affairs and that It then devolved
upon the referee to award the decision
TO tho man who in his opinion would
have won had the bout gone on to its
logical conclusion. Under this system all
points are by no means equal In value.
For instance. a staggering right hook to
the jaw Is worth numerous light taps
having no serious effect.
sport Has Changed.
Those who favor the opposite extreme
say that the nature OF the sport changed
when limited bouts were introduced. that
all fair hits have the same value, no
matter what their effect upon the re-
cpient They say that the condition OF
the men at the finish and their apparent
chances OF ultimate victory by a knock
out should not be taken into consIdera-
ton.
This mRkes II possible for a contestant
20 win, even though he has been rendered
unconscious nine seconds before the final
bell. In fact, Nuoh decisions have been
rendered and have met with the approval
OF the best boxing authorities. Yet these
same critics favor the man who has done
the most effective work whenever the
outcome Is at all close. They are num-
bered among those who are loudest in
their protests that no champion should
lose his title merely because he has been
outmaneuvered, but unhurt by a more
skillful foe.
The trouble is that no hard ana fast
rule has been laid down. and without
such II is impossible to be consistent.
the referees who have been most sue
eessful try to take common sense point
OF view, giving certain amount OF credit
Tor fighting ability as well as boxing
Skill But each person has his own pri-
Vate opinion as to the relative value OF
certain points and each can give good
reasons for the same. Therefore, until
more definite rules are made referees
decisions win always be unsatisfactory.

Wauseon as the members of the club
were and that they stood ready to
Cooperate with the club in every
way they could to improve the town
and work for its progress and pros

vailed was that committee of four
should be appointed by the chair
who should canvass the community
for new members. L was made clear
that anyone who is interested in the
work of making Wauseon the best
town of its size in Ohio, whether such
persons were residents of the cor
poration or not, were eligible to
membership in the club. It is team
work for the welfare of the entire
community for which the club stands.
The subject of beautifying the corn

BASE BALL
Wauseon Team .Utilizes Open Date
To Win a Victory Over The U. S.
Malleables-Some Incidents of the
Game and Predictions Concerning
the Future.

In well played game Wauseon
defeated the u. S. Malleables last
Sunday by the score of 8 to /.
The game was well played featured
by several good fielding stunts the
HDest one being catch and throw by
Funkhouser retiring Godi at the
plate.
Wauseon has an opportunity of
winning the pennant in the Trolley
league by a close application to busi-
ness and the strengthening of the
short stop position.
With Selner at first, Leininger and
Williams with good fast fielding
short stop Wauseon would be con-
tender with splendid opportunity to
beat them all.
Next Saturday Wauseon plays the
Barouth's two games, and will make
a determined effort to cop them as
they do not want Swanton to get too
far ahead.
To much can not be said for the
men who are making an effort to put
Wauseon on the map in a baseball
way and the citizens of the town
should feel that this is their cause to
a certain extent.
Last Sunday there were 40 men
viewing the game from the railroad
tracks, and it don't seem hardly fair
to the players or the management to
have this the case. y
Every one should realize that a
ball team costs money and the $40.
that these men would have payed at
the gate would have enabled the
management to break even on this
game.
Next Sunday Wauseon goes to
Swanton.

ticulars.

DECORATION DAY

Sigh, gently zephyrs from North land today;
Tears bring from cloud land to weep by the way
Tears for our heroes so silently sleeping;
Join with us Nature, respond to weeping
Bring ivy and myrtle, bring laurel and pine;
And that gem from the forest, the wild eglantine.
From the valley the lily, the garden the rose;
Bring emblems of valor to mark their repose
Go twine them in garands and lay them above,
Where they quietly sleep our emblems of love;
And the flag they defended, go plant where its waves
May shadow the garands that rest their graves.
Who can but remember that word of command,
At it ran with echo the length of the land,
"By the left flank, forward" and down long the left
With bayonets fixed, swept whirwnd of death.
And they rolled back the of secession and hurled
From it's staff the vile bars that arch treason unfured
And they severed the bonds that oppression enthraed
With malice towards none but with justice to all.
How many missing from roll call at night
How many martyred for God and the right?
That their places vacant you, comrades, tell
For it was by your side that some of them fell.
None brave in the midst of the fray
None could be kinder as comrades than they,
None be gentle at soothing woe
And none were more valiant when facing the foe.
But liberty triumphed the nation was saved
And the cause they upheld and the flag that they wav
ed,
Still continues to wave; not star from its post
Nor stripe from it's fold was out blotted or lost
Now those that came out of that terrible strife
Are one by one dropping to silence from life
Their spirits to havenS prepared for the just,
Their ashes to ashes, their dust unto dust.
Can this nation repay for the peace that they won
Or can it forget the brave deeds that they done?
thousand times mol Be it our pride
To honor those who so valiantly died.

These are busy days along many
lines. The Boosters of our fair city
are doing good work. They seem to
have the knack of doing things. We
are indebted to them for their apt
slogan. 1t means great deal to us
It will make all concerned glad, be-
cause it goes underneath the whole Of
our various duties. The business men
are proud of it. The wage-earners
delight in it, the betwixt and between
not, however, in any way the least
rejoice in it. 1t is worthy of place
in the center of our bosoms. To
know that so many are interested in
the welfare of Wauseon, is certain
ly gratifying.

One man asked:
"How may I feel that Wauseon is
my town."
The answer was:
"One way of feeling that Wauseon
is your town is by going to church

Did you catch the idea?
