Copsright, 1911, by The Prewe Publishing Co. | (The New York World) A FTER McCoy got back to America he boxed four rounds with Steve O'Donnell, an Australian fighter, who was here looking for matches with Fitzsimmons and Corbett. There was no decision given. rout. They were matched by Billy Newman and the battle took place at the Manhattan Athletic Club, West was considered a rattling good man, which in fact he was, and he was the favorite for this fight. New Yorkers 4d not know much of 3 in Boston, and the air With Ted White over in England had had a bad effect upon his reputation as a fighter, James Frawley, now a State Senator of New York, was the referce. West was the firet to come into the ring, but was followed very shortly by McCoy. In the first round McCoy showed a surprising amount of cleverness and Ws! never in any danger. In the sec- ona round, while the men were spar- ring nicely, the Kid suddenly and un-} expectedly nailed West with a right- hand uppercut that kr the Boston | boy down.

McCoy showed | himself the master all through and gave Ryan a terrible beating before he put over the sleep punch in the fifteenth round. So far as the Kid was concerned, this was a grudge fight.

On the whole it was @ rather tame affair, A month later, Tenn., the Kid fought with Frank Bos- worth, who was at o1e time a sparring partner of Bob Fitzsimmons. MoCoy se- cured the fight by promising to lay own, and asked Bosworth not to kno him out. When the men got into the ring | the Kid did the double-cross act and) knocked Bosworth out in the second round, On May 7 the Kid tried conclu- sions with Jim Daly of Buffalo before | the Knickerbocker Athletic Club of New York, which had lately changed its name from the Manhattan Athletic Club. Daly was one of Corbett's sparring partners | and was put up against the Kid as a @00d trial horse. In the third round the Kid let loose the blow that was #0 much | talked about tn later years—the famous | corkscrew punch. The blow broke Daly's Jaw and knocked several of his teeth out and the fight was immediately stopped. The decision of course went to McCoy. McCoy, Daly and thetr seconds were arrested the following day by Po- lice Inspector Brooks on a charge of as- pault battery, but ali hands were diseha n the police court On May 18 occurred the fight in Bos- ton with “Mysterious” Billy Smith, which J told about in the chapters on | the great welterweight champion, This was the battle in which McCoy delib- erately set out to get Smith's “goat* and succeeded. On May 30 the Kid met Dick Moore tn a ten-round bout over In Williamsburg. Moore was good and strong that night and put up ine fight, but although McCoy complained of not being well he succeeded in out- eal Moore and gaining the deci- sion. After this fight McCoy went back to his parents in Indianapolis, where he stayed all summer, with the exception of @ few weeks which he spent in a short. theatrical tour, Because of an impediment in his speech McCoy never made a success as an actor, but he was a master of bas punching and filled several engagements in that way, He used to appear on the stage in a most gorgeous costume glittering with span- giles, tinsel and stage diamonds, That South African Trip.
