MoCoy was now at the crest of his success and was being boomed to meet Corbett, Fitzsimmons and Jeffries. Poor Creedon was going back. The betting odds were 10 to 7 that Dan would not last ten rounds. Despite this, the fans crowded the clubhouse. There was @ feeling that Creedon, a game clever fighter in his day, would make a creditable showing that the fight would be an interes! ing one. Jim Corbett came to see the battle and was given a wonderful recep: tlon, to which he finally responded with & short speech. McCoy was in fine con- | dition.

Jennings got his first reat taste of professional base- ball when he went to Allentown and joined the leaguo team.
