2 een WPCOY LANDS THE CRUSHER | ON SCALES IN RECORD TIME Kid, After Chastising English Bully, Never Stops Going Until He Is Safe on French Soil. UNTOLD TALES OF THE RING ———— ‘This te the fifteenth of a series by Robert Edgren on fights and fighters of the past and present, including stories that have never found their way inte print. The series will be continued on these pages at least twice a week. T Cuprright, 1914, ty The Prem Pubitehing Oo, HERE are more good stories about Kid McCoy than can be told of any other living fighter. Perhaps this ts because the Kid had a very (The New York Evening World), unusual brain. Other who met him found {t impossible to fathom its depths and evon guess what the Kid might do next. He{ was full of surprises. He ts even to- day, for who would expect to find him, after bis varied career, at this; moment matched to Aight Carpentier, | the sensatibnal champton of Europe. Here's @ story, however, that you've never heard. If is the story of the quickest knockout that ever won @ championship. In fact, I'm not at all eure but that it was as quick a knockout as that by Dal Haw- kins over Martin Flaherty at Carson, long supposed to be the world's record. Jack O'Brien went to England and Cleaned up. Perhaps it was the story of Jack's success an a money getter in the English ring that attracted Kid McCoy. At any rate the Kid went to nd issued a challenge to O'Brien.
