Wolcott was unable to engage In the match BII 1 rather thin lo o the big money promised i Iho managers of the tlub arranged for an i exhibition between McCoy and Choynskl. U Is related that the fight Was pro-arranged I to bo purely an exhibition match , with Choynskl "llxed" to go down at a certain speclflc-d lime. Only with such an arrange ment would the "Kid" consent to the match Hut In the hoot of the battle Choynskl forgot all about such nn arrangement Ho found that "Kid" McCoy had cither been greatl } over-rated or was not himself for some- icaeon or other , and the opportunity seemed | present for him to turn thu tnblei on the "Kid" for the defeat administered him early laet jenr when the two met In San Tiarclsco In n twenty-round go. In the second round ho Ind McCoy on the toboggan and could not resist the temptation to pluck jth fame that was within his grasp During the round the Hoosler wonder went to the Iloor three times. Kach tlmo ho grew preceptlbly weaker and slower. The third I tlmo ho failed to rUe The timekeepers jcountnd him out and right then Chojnskl | was Iho vlctoi , for when the ten seconds had expired there > ct icmalned forty seconds - ' ends of the fighting round The gong Hounded the knock-out , but the referee be lieved the gong WHH ringing the end of the ( round and did not call McCoy out.

' The blow , according to accvmts , ' a foul and whether Intentional or un- I Intention U uliould have resulted In giving 'the ' decision to Chojnekl. It seems , therefore , froijn all accounts , that Joe Chojnskl was doubly robbed of a vic tory which was plainly his first when Ref eree White failed to call McCoy out after the expiration of the ten seconds and , second , when McCoy was given the decision on a I foul blow , presumed to have been delivered after the round was ended McCoy money went a-begging at the rlng- sldo that night. Heavy odds were offered on him and there were but few takers even then. Is this the eolutlon of the mysterious actions of Referee. Johnny White and the flagrant robbery from Chojnski of a de cision ho so richly deserved' In compliance with a challenge from Chojnskl nn agiecmeiit boa been entered Into 'with McCoy for a fight February 20. It will bo a , premier event In pugilistic circles and It U > a safe observation to make that there won't be a much McCoy money In sjght without takcis as there was In New York January 12. Relative to the contest in New York Chojnski and McCoy have both had their say and their opinions are of Interest in view of the unprecedented furore which has arisen as a result of the questionable de cision Chojnekl asserts that bo was robbed , but will await opportunity for rc- vengo 'it the ring. 'That opportunltj , " ho says , "will come on February 20 , wiicn I meet McCoj In another bout. It In an old story now to say that I won the fisht thico times , but It Is true. Not only ivos McCoy permitted to remain on the floor many beconds over the limit and to enjoy the benefit of a , two-mlnuto rest , but his brothei , who acted as a second , was allowed to gn through the ropes and throw water over the 'Kid' in an effort to revive him. This in itself Is a foul and McCoy should have been disqualified. , " 1 am satisfied that my timekeeper was rght ! when ho counted McCoy out , but will let the matter rest for the present. I have two or thrCT matches on , which I will dis- POEO of befoic I meet the 'Kid.

One of the best track teams wnleh the High school has put on Ihe field in years is now In training and Iho joung athletes have abundant hopes of winning the state iiiterscholaEtlc championship in the open ireet In June. Tha local Held day , which is one of the features of Iho school \ear , will lake place e > arly in May , probably at the Ycung Men's Christian association park , vvhcro the track men aio now meeting for practice ; Fol lowing the local field daj , Captain Earl Painter expects to airaugo a dual meet with some neighboring town , preferably CcAiucll Bluffs or Bellevue , in order lhat the bojs may test tholr strenglh against outsldo oig.intzatlons and secure confidence for the state tourney. The location of Ihe state contest has not yet been decided and the local contingent Is bringing all possl- blo pressure to bciar toward bringing it to Omaha The meet ono year ago was at Llicoln and It Is believed that that city will recognize the merit of Omaha's claim the present season. The Lincoln tcnm won In 189'J by a narrow margin , the victory apparently being In Omaha's grasp until the last event was called As the High school has no gymnasium fa cilities Captain Palnlcr Is obliged lo resort lo various methods lo get hla squad Into proper condition.
