Recently released from San Quen-
tin Prison, California, there is a
former fighter who in his day was
recognized as being one Of the four
cleverest men that ever put on a
glove. His name is Kid Mccoy, the
inventor of the corkscrew punch, the
man whose trickery brought him
ring fame and gave to the boxing
world hundreds of stories that make
interesting reading.
Kid Mccoy, who attributes his
downfall to drink, was convicted of
killing woman years ago. Because
of his culture, for he has much of
that, he was made librarian of the
prison. At times he was shifted to
head the fire department, but it was
the former post that he enjoyed most
because it gave him an opportunity
to do that which he likes beSt-delve
into books.
Christened Norman Selby, Mccoy,
who was born on october IT, 1873,
at Rush County, Ind, was a natural
middleweight, but fought men in the
heavyweight and light-heavy divi-
sion and came throught with many
triumphs over the greatest men of
his period. At one time he claimed
the ight-heavy crown. He was the
original globe trotter. There is
scarcely a section of the universe
that the Kid hasn't Travelled. He
introduced boxing into many parts
of Africa and Europe, where the
sport had never been seen.

FATE DEALS TOUGH
HAND TO TED LYONS
Years of Excellent Mound
Work Wasted on White
Sox-BeatS YankS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TED LYONS, who is in his tenth
year Of serving up right-hand
pitching for the Chicago White
Sox, might be justified If he
loosed a complaint against the fate
that has condemned him to a second
division club through the greater part
Of his major league career and has left
him with few hopes of escape.
Going directly to the Sox from Bay
lor University in 1923, Lyons has
pitched good ball most Of the time. In
only two of his nine seasons has he
fallen below the 500 mark in games
won and lost and his earned run aver
age has always been well up the list.
This season looks just like the last
nine for Ted Coming back from his
worst year in 1881, he pitched some
great ball only to run into a succession
of tough games. The SoX just wouldn't
get the runs for him and so far he
has won six games and lost nine
decisions.
Ted had to take things into his own
hands yesterday to pull out 30 de-
cision over the New York Yankees in
10-inning duel with Charley Rufting.
Going into the eighth he was trailing
1-2, although he had given only six
hits. Lyons squared the count by
cracking out double and coming home
on a sacrifice by Funk and Hayes long
fly. He pitched no-hit ball for the
next two frames and Lu Blue came to
his rescue in the tenth with another
double that led to the winning run.

Washington Ball Team Whoe Hog Nothing When Comes
Dickey Returns,
Eager for Peace

NEW YORK, August 4.-There
~ will be general rejoicing in the
New York Yanks' camp today
when Bill Dickey gets back in the
game at Chicago, probably a sad
der and wiser man. Dickey will
count ten, and maybe more, before
he decides to take a sock at an
other base ball player. 1t costs too
much. A thousand dollars a sock
is pretty steep and that was the
price quoted to Dickev when he
broke the jawbone Of Reynolds of
the Senators-that and = months
lay-Cff.
The YankS have lost five out of
nine games on the road this time,
four of them by one run, and
Dickey'S hefty bat may give the
necessary punch to the lineup to
force across winning runs.
Dickey, reports say, wants to be
peace loving and proper from now
on, and the management Of the
Yanks has denied those rumors that
Dickey had been approached by
sock market promoters intent on
getting him into the ring. Dickey,
it is said, now has no ambitions In
this direction. All he wants to do
is to be allowed to play ball with
his teammates.

each by McAboy, Raub and Wheeler
and one each by Turner, Reigleman,
Benner. Thomas and Maupin.

AIRY FRASER SAUNDERS, for
! two years undisputed ruler of
tan Washington

Y VARRY FRASER SAUNDERS, for
~ two years undisputed ruler of
metropolitan Washington
horseshoe pitchers, will oppose
the strongest field of his ringer-throw-
ing career tonight in the second annual
invitation tournament staged in con-
nection with the Mclean, Va, carnival.
Saunders has never been defeated in
championship play and his victories in
the widespreading tournament conduct
ed by The Star have been countless.
Tonight he will be called upon to
meet the most formidable field ever as
sembled in the Middle Atlantic Section,
the players hailing from Virginia, Mary
land Washington and Pennsylvania.
THE going will be precarious. Loss of
i one 50-point game in the first two
rounds will eliminate. Sixteen
pitchers will start with straight elimi-
nations to prevail until four remain.
These will play round robin with each
meeting the others once.
Roy Wilson of Washington will be the
defending champion, but so improved is
the field over last year that Wilson's
chance to repeat is accounted slender.
Saunders most touted rival is John
F. Hamilton of Cumberland, Nd, the
MARYLAND State champion. The metro
politan champ has been seeded in the
upper bracket, where his playmateS will
be Sam Flohr of Gambler, Md; Ed
Henry, Fairfax County champion; Harry
Fowler of New Windsor, Md; Chic
Darr, Northern Virginia titleholder;
Buddy TAYLOR, 13-year-old star of West
minister, Md; Wilson and j. Poole of
Westminster.

/ are Raymond Brown, leading can
didate for the Washington title in

Clayton Henson, former Northern Vlr-
Der, Md, who recently took a game
from Saunders in interCity play.
