.Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport / Topics
By JAMES '. coRBETr.

Another of the neNer-t e-forgot- ten ring battles in which Kid Mccoy figured was that which brought loa Choynski 10 him asa foeman.t It Was that contest-staged January 12, laoe' in New York city-whieh sounded the death knell of the boxing game in the Empire State under the Horton law
 The bout was 8 thriller from start to finish with one sensation following another. The two men were about evenly matched a. to size and weight, with bitter enmity between them 10 spur them on to mighty deeds. And a cyclonic battle it was.
 The echo of the first gong hardly had died away before the Kid Jumped in and sent his famed left to Choyn- skis jaw Joe backed away, stagGer- ing, and Mccoy followed him with a volley of lefts and rights. The Kid tried to finish Joe then and there but Choynski, with great cleverness, saved himself and rallied Wonderfully a the close.
 With the tap of the second bell both men jumped to the center of the ring All the hatred within them burst forth Tn a series of enraged rushes and the two men hammered away a each other in pitiless fashion. In the middle of a furious mixup, Choynski sent his "man killer" right to McCoys jaw and the Kid dropped to the mat for the count of nine. As he got to his feet, Joe planted a left to the mouth and the Kid was flattened again. Mccoy arose only to be met with hurricane of lefts and rights and as the Kid backed into a corner, Joe let him have R pile driver ri ghfa to the ahead-and <Cnce more Mccoy went down.
 And then strange thing happened!
 Referee Jonnny White stood over the prostrate Mccoy and apparently count ed him out But as he chanted "10'' Mccoy struggled to his feet. Was Me- Coy out-or wasn't he? Had he beaten the fatal '10r-or not? The house was in an uproar. Above the din sounded a succession of gong taps from the timekeeper's bell-the signal that his watch had shown that Mccoy had been counted out. But White, after few seconds of deliberation. ignored the timekeeper's ruling, decided that Me Gov had just about beaten the "10,'' and ordered the fight to go on.
 Choynski. figuring he had won on knockout. had retired to his cor ner and McCoy's seconds had him in his corner and were working over him in frantic fashion. When the referee ordered the fight to continue. Choynski registered a wild protest-ciaiming he had won. The referee paid no atten- tion to him and sent the fighters to the center of the ring where they fin ished out the 30 seconds of fighting left in that round.
 When the third opened Choynski, enraged because he hadn't been given the verdict. went after the Kid with more fury than~ever before. The anger that moved Joe probably ruined his chance of victory because early in the round his wild swinging tired him while the shrewd Mccoy was taking it easy on the defensive and recuperat- ing rapidly.
 About the middle of the third Choyr- ski rushed into trap, going at the Kid with arms swinging and with all most no defense. The Kid lashed q wicked left to Joes mouth-and down went Joe Instead of taking nine"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-07-28

Joe hoped right up and went at the Kid again, and rushed him to the ropes only to meet another right handler 10 the mouth which floored Joe again
 Joe arose to his feet and before he could fall into clinch Mccoy sent him to the knees with blow to the head. Joe arose and, in mixup, succeeded in sending a right to the Kids head and the Kid went down. The Kid hopped up and Joe rapped him on the chin, and, as the Kid reeled, he grabbed Choynski and pulled Joe to the mat with him.
 And all this time the crowd was ir- sane with excitement. yelling first for one man. then for the other-yelling in a voice that threatened to shatter the roof of the old Broadway A. C., whers the match was staged.
 
 Both men got back to their feet punch drunk and reeling, blood covered from head to knees. and bleeding from dozen cuts and gashes. They swayed toward each other. each making futile passes at each other. Then Mccoy. gathering his waning strength, hooked a left to Joe's jaw. Joe went down. Just as he got up. the bell banked. The Kid was rushing him at the time but Joe ignored him with the clash Of the gang and turned toward his cor ner. As he did so, a fearful right handler crashed against Joe's jaw and Joe went down so hard that his head bounced up from the floor, fell back again--and then Choynski lay inert and had to be carried back to his corner.
 Cries of foul" came from Choyn- skis corner, and from the crowd, as the Kid hit Joe with after-bell punch. But Referee White sustained the Kid in his contention that. it wasn't an in- tentional foul--that Mccoy had started the punch before the bell changed and couldn't stop it before it hit Choynski.
 And then Choynski claiming he had not been treated fairly by the referee. refused to go out of his corner for the fourth round-and Mccoy was awarded the fight with a technical knockout.
 The furore that followed the odd ending of that contest moved the legis- lature to immediate action and it adopted the Lewis resolution, then bending. which repealed the Horton law and killed pugilism in New York state until it was revived years later by the now dead F'rawley law

Of the a75 major league ball players no less than 236 are between the ages of 21 and S1, which means that on September 1, nearly 90 per cent will have to look for essential occupations, whether the leagues close on that date or not The other ss may continue to eke an existence from the national pastime without fear of the strong arm of the draft officer.
 To an outsider it seems folly to think of trying to play first-class baseball with teams recruited from boneyards and cradles, but you can never tell what desperate moguls will do. IT, however, they attempt to play right on through the schedule, the following men will be absent from their re- spective lineups after September morn"

 Dempsey in the meanwhile was easily the most composed man in the ring or the arena. He walked over to Fulton $ hand, but Fulton was too dazed to talk coherently and seemingly was unable to realize what had happened in such 4 brief space of time.

 When Announcer Humphres was about to introduce the men to the spectators, Dempsey, who was born at Manassa, Col. and because he was unknown to pugilism while living in. Salt Lake, re- auested the announcer to say that he claimed California as his native state.
 Dempsey turned the scales at lSS hounds and Fulton was 70 pounds heav- fer. Dempsey says he is going west next week to resume his trade at shipbuildlns and will not fight in the ring again until the war is ended

Molesworth has been assi gned to "" unit S6 and has entered into his new work with all the vim and pep that characterized him as manager of the Birmingham club "It is good to be in this work" said Molesworth yesterday, "and it melted my interest from the first hour I spent a, Camp Sevier. There is some real good athletic material in this camp and no doubt some as good if not better, to come. and I hope to be able to assist in creating an interest in athletics at Se- vier superior to anything that has gone before

There's an old adage that says the It's accuracy was never better illustrated than by that fight at Harrison Park yes terday in which Fred Fulton, the giant sof giants received a "sleepmaker' just above his Adams apple" within B sec onds after he stepped into the ring
 Full of pep and high purposes the Minnesota plasterer has for months been daring that famous pacifist, Jess Willard. to don the padded mits with him, but to avail, and running shy of the necessary sheckles, Fred decided to take on Jack Dempsey. The rest of the story is told in another part of this sheet, and we have brought up the subject merely to warn the hard boys who are continually looking for something soft to jump on
 A stitch in time is worth two in the hospital
 Now that Dempsey is acclaimed the successor to Willard, his fight with Billy Mske in Atlanta next month will receive more than the normal amount of interest. Owing to slight nasal operation Miske has asked that the bout be postponed from August II to the 18th. When the gong is sounded for these two heavy weights to meet it is very probable that a large gathering of Magic City fight fans vii be on hand to see the fur fly. Dempsey of course, will rule a heavy favorite but Mske has an outside chance to administer his .'snooze- producer
 Jim Vaughan beat the tar-wadding out of Boston yestepiay, while Comstock held the Giants safe and as a result Chi cago gained a full contest over New YorS in the National league pennant race. The two teams are about equally favored by the schedule from now on. New York having IS games at home and 10 abroad while the Cubs play IS in Chicago and F on foreign soil On August Mitchell will lea his Bruins into "Jawn" Me Graws backyard for three game se ries, while beginning August 21 Chicago will eat .rtain theirs rivals tat home for trio of contests, so it will be seen that neither has any material advantage in dates from now til September l. The series starting next Thursday at the Polo Grounds will occupy the sporting spotlight for several days
 In the American league no change in the standing of the first three teams was brought about by yesterdays play as, all were returned winners. The schedule, however, greatly favors Boston, who has 70 more games in Beantown, as against F away from home. Cleve- land plays 16 of her 20 remaining games before home fans and Washington is about evenly divided. having IS games in the national capital and 15 in hostile territory.
