Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-05-23

in the casual reviews of the bout.
He can take a punch and he can give
a punch and he has wonderful re-
Cooperative powers. In every round
he came out of his corner as fresh as
daisy, although from the second
round to the ninth round he was
given a hard drubbing from bell to
bell from the tireless, tigerish MUIR
Murray began to slow, Mccoy. boxing
carefully and cleverly, for him, won
the honors of the session, and in the
tenth round he led all the way. He
was stronger at the finish than Muir
ray and he might have done lot of
damage if he cared to go in for pot
luck and take a chance. But Mccoy
was badly touted, it seems. He was
told to do his best to last the limit so
that he would still retain the title,
but If he was "sicked on Murray in
the last round he might have landed
one of those terrific left uppercuts
that brought him victory over Chip.
Murray was tired in the tenth round
and he would not have been a difficult
victim for the K. o. punch. Mccoy,
however, while besting his man, never
fought viciously enough to make his
work effective.
Jack Dougherty, McCoy's manager,
took a big chance to lose the cham
plonship, but now that he has been
able to get away with it, the fight
with Murray will do him good. His
friends were certainly encouraged by
his showing, for he was known as a
Murray he showed flashes of ability
and he proved that he could take a
beating and stand up under it like
Trojan. He has that terrific left
Murray's right eye, and he is game
as a pebble, another thing that had
been in dispute up to his fight
Thursday night. That battle will do
confidence, and he may eventually
become aggressive. He isn't of
championship calibre just yet, but he
holds the title, and l, for one,
should come to the front and make
his way through all the middle
weights in the business.

Kind words for us and a new meth
cd for Furnishing foul riders are con-
tanned in the following communica-

]. P. N:
1t Is always up to J. P. N. and the
popular Newark Evening Star to give
the public something new, to create
more and more interest in sporting
games. We are congratulating you
today on the Cyclists Popularity
Contest" which is attracting the at
tention of both riders and fans.
We take opportunity again for en-
phasizing the fact that the manage
ment of the Velodrome should enforce
the rules against using foul tactics
on the track. We were among our
friends, the "bleacherites," Wednes-
day night, and we could see some foul
work done by the different riders and
hear some words of diSapproval. For
the sake of the game we love SO much
we would like to suggest that in adj
dition to the usual punishment the
management should force the rider
who does any foul riding to go three
times around the track. Kissed by the
crowd, as 1t was used by the ancient
lovers of sporting games. This method
would be far more effective than a
money fine or a suspension.
What about it, j. P. N? AS al
ways, very truly yours, S. o. & co.

The following has to do with the
three-cornered amateur match race at
the velodrome last Wednesday night
]. P. N:
l want to say few things about the
match race between McDougall, Smith
and Kaiser on the first Wednes-
day night meet. What / would like
to know is how in the name of crea-
ton can a person do his best with
such riders as Kaiser and Smith on
the track? AS l have said before,
Donald was not in real good form, but
at the present moment he is getting
into real good form, and he is also
trying to give us some of his real
good exhibitions that he gave the fans
last year, but If Smith and Kaiser
continue to work against him and foul
him, l am sure there will be a very
