The best thing Kid Mccoy ever
had Is 3 boxer in the ring was a
quick-acting brain and a left jab.
With the first he bluffed most Of
his antagonists. With the second,
having them sufficiently bIuffed,
he cut to ribbons every dub he
faced. You may discount his a.
legedly famous sheer. Many boxers
hRve that. II never brought q

welter when be happened TO run
into Waleott. II is credit to his
brain that he immediately drew
the color line Weleott would have
cut him 70 ribbons and then knocked
him out and he knew it.
One day he met Bob Fitzsim-
mons, at that time boxing as .
middleweight; which was MeCoy'f
class,
"Take him away" said Mccoy.
Nothing doing with him."
And Mccoy, then the country's
leading middleweight, . man who
was lacking of the hsm-fRt
heavies TO be brought against him,
quit cold in the face Of . man wEo
would have knocked him loose from
his mornings. Mccoy il TO be

Sure, give Mccoy all the Herr
Plaaekes and all the dub British
ers and he looked good. But, put
ting him into the same ring with
q man at least as good Is he was.
that was . different thing.
Kid Mccoy was q boxer without
a heart. Facing q man he knew
he could beat, he would take plese-
ure in cutting him to pieces with
his gloves: Facing = bigger MAJ.
and dub, he would make him l0Uk

Kid Mccoy never wOuld take

The more We read about Norman
