hitter himself, was crowding the
pale Hoosier at the time, cut
Aing loose with rights and lefts,
when the new Kid Mccoy shot
his knockout punch across. It
was short, but fearfully effective.
Quinn crumpled as though
lie had been drilled through with
"a steel nosed bullet.
eff Wallace ever enters the
pro- domain wen predict many
a storm ahead for Johnny Wilson
and the pretenders."
