M'COY ALMOST
LOSES HIS TITLE
George Chip Scores Two
KnOCkdOWnS in Bout
at Broadway Club.

Al Mccoy still clings TO that battered
mddlewelght crown OF his. George
Chip came within an ace of regaining
lis lost laurels last night at the Broad
way Sporting CLUB. In the third round
Chip foored Mccoy twice. the first
time for four seconds and the last time
for a count of nine.
Seldom has there been n scene around
ring to equal this one when Mccoy
hit the boards. Two right-handers did
the trick, and instantly every watch in
the house, from Waterburys 10 fancy
split seconds, was drawn as the fatal
count began. There was no mistake in
the toll this time. Mccoy was down
nine seconds and no more, and then he
got up when even his own father man
ager would have sold his chances for a
Mexican bean.
With courage that cannot be de-
MED the Brooklyn boy got up on his
pins. Groggy as he was, he was still
dangerous. Indeed. when he got afoot
he hicked over short right hook TO
Chips chin and the Pittsburgher went
down, some say from slip, but il did
look like there was heft to that punch
Of McCoy's.
Chip started off like a bowling der
wish. lie went like the very wind for
the first three rounds, pumping IN
punches with both hands until the
crowd wondered how Mccoy ever stood
it. After he had been foored couple
of times Mccoy seemed TO think of but
one thing. He must stay the ten
rounds or his father would be put out
ever so much.
lie looked toward his corner where
Pa Rudolph sat huddled in a chair as
if TO obtain the parental O. X. as to
his manner of stretching the shlndig 10
ten rounds. Even old man Rudolph
WINGED as Chip continued his pitiless
assault. Mccoy didn't have chance 10
fight back. The tide of battle was car
rying him along so fast that he could
hardly do more than take his medicine
like a game man.
I'm the tenth round Colonel Chip
swung himself off his Pittsburgh Suits
when he attempted to knock McCoy's
head into the middle of next week. Il
was perfect miss and a perfect
"Brodie" that poor Chip took 10 the
canvas.
Eddie Kelly knocked out Paul Doyle
in the second round of the semI-wind-
up. This was great shock TO thc ad-
mirers OF Doyle. for he has come 70 be

CITY POLITICS sIMMERING

It's evident that the coming muni-
cipal election is going to be lively
one.
As announced elsewhere, DR.. Chace
is in the race for the mayoralty, and
Mayor Robertson, having decided that
the city cannot yet spare his services
has yielded to the opportunities of
friends to again be candidate.
1t is supposed that in the first ward
Mr.. Tompkins will stand for re-elec-
ton. It is reported that Mr.. Andy
Winer will also run.
In the second ward, Mr.. j. j.
Gerig's constituents insist that he
represent them again. A contest
against him would be hopeless.
1t is considered likely that that
solid old citizen, H. A. Fausett, viii
continue to represent the third ward
thru the next two years.
The fourth is to have contest. Mr..
F. G. B. Weihe is being urged by his
friends to make the race, and a petit
tion is in circulation today requesting
him to become a candidate. Mr.. E.
f. Martin also has out petition

and Florida's little mascot, Olan
Buchanan, made short address.
Olan is the grandson of Gen. Buch-
anan and is just seven years old. His
address was loudly applauded.
Wednesday morning about two
thousand gathered at the dock to see
the veterans and others embark on
the large steamer, Pokanokit, for the
enchanting trip down the bay. The
U. d. c. served tempting lunch at
noon. A sweet memorial service was
also held aboard the vessel.
The chief event for Wednesday
evening was the Confederate ball at
the Centro Asturiana Club. This is
one of the handsomest of the many
handsome buildings, of this nature in
Tampa. The grand march was led by
DR.. Lowry and Mrs. Carney, ably as
sisted by Gen. Baker and Mrs. Lowry,
and Col. w. w. Best fthis county,
and his dainty little partner, the
beautiful little eight year old daugh-
ter of DIR. and Mrs. Lowry. After
the grand march, the figures of which
were quite military and beautiful, the
old-fashioned and courtly dances were
greatly enjoyed. Conspicuous among
the other graceful dancers was Mr..
NJ. P. Frink, of old Marion.
The crowd at this ball was so i'm
mense that the doors of the German
Club were thrown open for the young
er people and the Centre Asturiana
was turned over entirely for the
pleasure of the old veterans who
thoroughly enjoyed every minute of
the dance. The night was excessive
Ily warm but the music and genial
cheer were so inspiring that the heat
was forgotten. This ball was, as was
everything else connected with the re-
union, a great big success. Electric
fans, plenty of ice water and delicious
fruit punch added to the delight and
comfort Of those present.
Thursday at noon came the glad
tidings that Ocala and Marion county
had been greatly honored as Gen.
Alfred Aver had been unanimously
selected and unanimously elected the
commander of the Florida division of
the u. C. v. for the ensuing year.
Gen. Buchanan could not succeed him
self. Another bit of news which
caused the hearts of Marion county
people to rejoice was that Gen. Aver
had made Col. F. E. Harris "chief of
staff" for this state. Ocala and Mar
ion county feel exceedingly proud
and Gen. Aver and his chief of staff
are receiving many warm congratsIia-
tions.
The parade Thursday afternoon was
unique and attractive, every one be-
| ing in an automobile. The procession
was over a mile long and the streets
were full of spectators who cheered

During the parade Mrs. Carney was
