MCCOY Is BEATEN
BY FRANKIE BURNS
Baltimore Is No
Match for Jersey City
Boxer.
AN IMPRESSIVE COMEBACK

Bennie Mccoy. one Of the numerous
bantams with championship aspirations.
received a most h%umiliating beating at
the Pioneer Sporting Club last night
from frankie Burns. q veteran Of the
roped ouare old enough to be the father
Of the boxer he vanquished. Burns.
who has fought every bantam champion
for the past dozen years. including Dig
ger Stanley. the English champion. be-
labored Mccoy like a man beating car
pets for every one Of ten rounds. The
Jerseyman slammed the Baltimorean on
by sinking his right into the short ribs.
and then cufred him all around the ring
with all kinds OF punches.
Mccoy tried to use his feet for a time
to get away from his conaueror. but
Papa Burns was altogether too swift OF
movement. and then Mccoy Rugged so
hard and persistently that the crowd
urged him to hold on.
One facetious onlooker reminded Nc
Coy that he could have escaped had ne
brought his roller skates into the ring
Mccoy absolutely declined to mix II with
the old timer. and Burns's chief trouble
In the closing round was to extricate
himself from the octopuslike grip OF the
Baltimore boy.
The six round semi-hnal was a slug
cling match between Bull Thompson OF
the West Side and Frantin Wilson of
Jersey city. Thompson had a heavy
right hand punch. but he telegraphed II
so that Wilson. who was the better
boxer. had little trouble gett!7g away
from II. Wilson staggered Thompson
several times with straignt lefts and
right hook and was entitled to he YER
dict on all around better work.
Dury Caruso. who evidently selected
his ring name with the purpose OF pleas
ing tn. West Siders and also the mu-
sicslly inclined. took n beating from
George West. A chap In the gallery
suggested that Caruso make amends 10y

New Contracts Soon.

The Ban Johnson-Dave Fultz contract
feud still 10 on. Gear Bar gave out his
daily official bulletin yesterday. When
the season for signing players is on
hand American and National League
players will be offered documents whic.,
read a trife different from the iron
bound. un~breaksoie contracts which eX-
listed during the Fed war. according to
Big Ban.
Johnson goes further. and says these
new contracts will not be the handiwork
Of Barrister David Fultz OF the Players
Fraternity. but that they are being
drafted solely by attorneys engaged by
the major leagues. II Is assumed hat
the attorneys are working o. a new
form OF contract. which will contain the
ten day and reserve clauses yet will
be more legal than some of the ante
bellum contracts. which could not stand
the test when they were taken into court
during the early Fed raids OF 1914.
President Johnson denied that a
clause In regard to forfeiture of pay by
injured players was in the present CON
tracts. although he added that the ron
tracts now In force were unsatisfactory
to the two leagues.
