DUBLIN Giant IS
PUT ON THE SHELF
Frank Moran Completely
Eliminates Mr.. Coifey From
the Heavy Class
INTO DREAMLAND
IN THIRD ROUND
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 20-A nice slow
run on a jerkwater trolley car would
suit Jim Coffey, tho Dublin Giant
and erstwnile motormaa, better thar
anything else in the world today.
If he really took himself seriously
as a possible worlds. champion
heavyweight. all longing for jess
Wizards crown was probably knock
ed out of him last hight when Frank
Moran, of Pittsburgh, whipped over
smash to Jim's jaw in the third
round of their scheduled ten round
fight at Madison Square Garden.
The effect on Coffey was instantan.
eous. He was transformed from q
fighting machine into a helpless, wob-
bling mountain of humanity which
finally Topped to the koor. Stagger-
ing to his feet he fell back against
the ropes, completely gone The
knockout was complete and 10000
wildly excited fight fans shouted
themselves hoarse cheering the VIC
tor as Coffey was Jed away.
One of the largest crowds that ever
packed itself in the garden witnessed
the fight. In addition to the 10000
inside, 5000 more clamored for ad-
mission, after the doors were closed.
The receipts we're estimated at from
$25, 900 to $4,000. Dan McKetrick,
former manager of Moran, made
sure that he would get a cut on the
money by having S2S00 of Moran's
share attached but there will still
be plenty left for the fighters and
promoters. McKetrick claims Moran
owes him 81 1.462 on a former con-
tract.
Moran spent the first two rounds
measuring Coffey carefully before
cutting loose.
The Dublin Giant" did most Of
! the leading but there was little steam
back of his blows. At the close Of
/ the second round Moran let three
drives loose which shook Coffey up
and in the third he went at him in
earnest. About one minute and a
half Of sparring and then Moran's
right went over and it was curtain for
Coffey.
