MCCOY WAS TRICKIEST
OF LARGER FIGHTERS
Adept at Getting Other Fellows
Nerve in Ring.

Kid Mccoy was one of the trickiest
OF the larger fighting men. Wasn't
anything in the art of getting the
other fellows nerve that Mccoy
failed to employ when a fight was on.
Those who remember his comeback"
the night he net big Jim Stewart
In Philadelphia-will never forget
how the bout began.
In the first place, Mccoy made GER
tain that he would be the first to en-
ter the ring. Once in there he went
into the first corner that came to
hand and sat huddled in his bath
robe talking to imaginary friends
around the ring.
When Stewart entered he noticed
that Mccoy had not turned to greet
him, so he stalked across the can.
vas and held u his hand. Mccoy
kept on talking to the mythical
cronies. Finally Stewart reached
down and touched Mccoy on the
shoulder with the meek remark
Here l am, Mister Mccoy" Mister
Mccoy looked over n shoulder, ig-
nored the hand and said, "Oh. hello,
boy" and then turned away.
He figured that the action would
either enrage or intimidate Stewart.
While waiting in the center for in
structions, Mccoy deliberately stepped
on Stewards corns. The referee gave
his version of one-hand free hitting.
Mccoy reached up like a flash and
jerking Stewards head down with a
grip about the neck. remarked: Does
this constitute one-hand holding?"
By this time poor Stewards nerves
were so badly shattered that Mccoy
had no difficulty in whipping him in q
limited bout.
