man down twice and during the bout
he belted Mccain all over the ring
This, too. Notwithstanding the fact
that McVeigh weighed 1881 pounds
and McClain tipped the beam at 14S
pounds. McVeighs next bout, the
trainer went on to say, would be with
either K. o. Brown or frankie Burke
and it would be held at Easton. Then
Jimmy will take on Kid Henry at Al
| lentown, and on Decoration Day he
has been matched to fight Pal Brown,
of Australia, at Rochester. Who Nc
Weighs new manager was, Young
O'Brien didn't say. He did say,
though, that there was nothing in
| the fighting game around here for
McVeigh, and that is why Jimmy
went away.
| Trainer O'Brien also had a very i'm
portant item of news to give out to
| the papers. He said that Jimmy Nc
Weigh was ready to fight Young
Gradwell at the drop of the hat, pro-
vided Gradwell would make 1873
pounds, ringside. 0'Brien also said
that McVeigh would demand 80 per
cent. of the gross receipts for his end,
and would insist that Gradwell ac-
cept 20 per cent. That is a new way
of doing business-arranging matters
/ for both sides. For MeYeigh TO ask
80 per cent. for himself is all well
and good, but for him to name Grad
wells share is entirely out of order.
The fact that McVeigh and Gradwe1l
were given only 35 per cent. of the
receipts the last time the boys
fought, and that Gradwell insisted on
20 per cent, is explained as the
reason for McVeigh's demand of 80
per cent to Gradwelfs 20 per cent.
in the match to come.
C
The Newark fight fans will be glad
to know that McVeigh is doing so
well. He has a small army of friends
in this city who follow him and cheer
for him and battle for him. He is a
pretty nifty little fighter and is con-
Gradwell he surprised the natives by
beating his opponent. Gradwell still
insists he wasn't beaten and Is clam
oring for another bout. Whether he
can make 1873 pounds ringside is an
other question. 1t Is not believed
that he can. In which event there is
not much use in discussing such a
match. We will wait until the boys
agree on terms, but we will say that
a return bout between McVeigh and
Gradwell would be the pugilistic
treat around here.
@
Battling Schenck is not as bad
fighter as he had been pictured to
me- His bout at Gus Troxler's last
night with Billy Morrow was a very
interesting affair, and Schenck didn't
suffer any in reputation. He is a
better boxer and a better fighter
than Morrow, but he lacks experience
in the ring. Morrow isn't much at
all, and it isn't any wonder that
Charley Weinert knocked him out
Schenck showed enough last night to
entitle him to further consideration,
but his friends to the contrary,
the Battling One" should give Wei
merit a wide berth.
