Hogan has the In III the Chicago old on tho light at De Dc troit last lut week Kid decisive defeat at tha tho hands of ot Jack Hoot probably marks I the passing of ot that once Ollre great fighter V It Jt at nt least him from the list of ot the champions and It Is doubtful whether he will essay to 10 light y v his hla way up l McCoy lost to a II good man at Detroit J It Was never nevet shown more plainly In a 1 I f 1 1 ring that with two men equally matched the ono one who has hns followed the Ih I lines lined of ot right living will como come out win Mr McCoy Was tho skilled boxer and Teat great general with the tho backing of ot a frame weakened by b dissipation Hoot was it 11 boxer and general g with a 11 per feet McCoys condition was what mans man people feared It II might be and the result was what many expected Under the circumstances Personally I 1 believe McCoy was In as oa asgood good Cool shape as he possibly could rould be but he Is no longer able to 10 get right In View low of or the fact that the was backed to win I 1 believe he find his trainers thought he had recovered his and McCoys appearance In the tho ring and the 1111 he received the punishment ad nd Indicated that he has probably ably lived beyond that stage where he can train Into perfect condition In view of ot McCoys poor work and ant the evidence that he was not the fighter of oC old ohl claim to the title of ot light heavy weight champion will not be ser seriously taken In the public mind George who whipped 1 Hoot at Salt Halt HaltI I Lake ikc City Is IR still In possession pOM of oC th I h title and will be until someone It from him himI I think that If It Hoot and Gardner were to meet again the Chicago man would be balked b his loral local admirers They were highly pleased with tho Iho way he performed against McCoy and see ste In him tho making of ot n future champion The weight at which the men actually taught fought showed that pounds pound II at 1 3 o clock al oj
