proposition propo-sition But cn All followers of things scrapatorlil will admit dint the two cleverest men In l luring lu-ring arc Kid McCos and Jim Corbett McCoy Mc-Coy Is I a shade cleverer I I with his r elI el-I Corbeli went twentythroe rounds with Jcfirlcs al Coney Island He hit the big grizzly from thc Paclllc slope wher evir Matt whenever he pleased hut he never budged him He dldnl even mm < his hair In those tweiilylhr rounds onll ll Jeffries conldn I llnd Corbell That shifty I shif-ty boxer was as elusive OM a mal dodg lug a creditor But In the twentythird Corbett naturally became llnd Ills lens grew weak and lost their shiftiness Ills eyes grew dim and lost their accuracy In Plopping all evading punches Then Jef fries who was IIng waiting for this to occur stepped In and handed Mr Corbel one of his wallops and the Incident was closed Corbett cannot hit When ho lands a punch his mind is workingthe dual Ihlng I of getting away at the KITTKI time from a return This loses force to the blow Wllh McCov It t is dlfforenl McCoy rainS hit the rain-S punch of any man In the ring with the exception of FlUslmmons 11 lu wallops are given from the I toe up get the rise o the leg l and the swing of the shoulder into them and at Iho moment mo-ment of Impact his tint has not reached Us grater momentum but continues on Its course like an expert player following n billiard ball with his

1 t and can hit I hard enough to put any man out It certainly follows logically that McCoy could vale JelYrlos for the I Latino number of rounds and could hit Jeffrleo as often and as clnnly as did Corbeli But H would take the outside art tll at tit more than half a duen of McCoys punches lo put to sleep the Western glnnl Thro will he some who will ray nnd with reason loo that McCoys showing In Philadelphia with Kd Carter places him entirely out of the game But I know personally lhat Mefoy has nat gone back that he can get himself Into shape and wIth proper iralnlm be as good In fact bettor
