by losing his first go to Jim Corbott In one
round Ho has fought many battles since
that tlmo and his pugilistic career has been
much llko that of nearly all the old-timers
having Its full nhoro of ups and downs.
January 12 ho was matched to meet Joe
Wolcolt at the Ilroadvvay club In New York.
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

Hounded the knock-out , but the referee be
lieved the gong WHH ringing the end of the
( round and did not call McCoy out. Strangel > ,
I however , McCoy was given advantage of
| the forty seconds' time in addition to the
i regulation tlmo between rounds , and came
i up for the third round refreshed and
strengthened Reports arc to the effect that
nfter the end of the third round McCoy
,
; struck Chojnskl , and that the blow in
capacitated the latter flom continuing the
'contest. ' 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. ' I am feel
ing in my old-'lmo fo-in Just now and was
never fighting better I will do my training
for these battles U Lakcwood , where I have
( secured quarters IP conjunction with Cornell.
I anticipate no t-oublo in winning those
fights , Including my bout with McCoy oo
February 20 "
McCoy sajfl "I have been wrongfully
condemned since mj fight vvllh Joe Choynskl ,
I took the benefit of mj count every time
I vas down , and I depended upon the referee '
to count off those few seconds which a man
Ic allowed to get up In.
' There was no robbery or a fake fight It
was nothing but a mistake of Choynski's
timekeeper , for which I am not accountable ,
1 have alwajs fought to win , I have always 1
fought fairly I did not hear thu bell ring
when I hit him or before It
"This Is the third time I have met him In !
a ling and I beat him every time Chojnskl
brail have another contest It ho vvlshct '
U , and I will knock him out for fair and 1
will not fight again In the ring with him un
ices it Is for the championship after thai
en r. test
"I have fought with all s > lzes of men and
have proved my right to have the cham
pionship beyond a doubt Choynskl Is o J
good lighter , but at the last light I defeated
him fairly and I bided by the decision of the
referee That Is the plain honest fact
"Thero was no money bet on this fight thai
I know of and If I had not starlcd to knock

Omaha It will bo the flrst mid-winter In-
dcor athletic meet ever held In Omaha open
to any amateur whether a member of Iho

The sport should bo rojal , as there are a
number of men In and about Omaha who

have made good records nt school and In
other fields. Tills will give them nn op-
porlunlly lo contest for supremacy In the
different events The German Tinners and
the I.'ohemian Turners

tions and have a large body of athletes
amojg Ihelr numbers and they will probably
scnil _ In homo good men The Omaha and
Council Bluffs High schools have a number
of good men who will make a hot light for
the Hist places Captain Painter of the
Omaha High school thinks thai quite a
number of MB men will cuter and ho thinks
they will glvo a good account of themselves
The local association men arc pulling In
evciy spare mlmito tralninK and hope lo
keep mosl of Ihe trophlea Klnucy , McHlroy ,
Henry , Parker , Hush , Hall , Stomm , I'atler-
son , KlBhcr and a number of others arc suie
of winning llrst and second places. Aside
from the trophies already up and dlsplajcd
in Iho window of a Douglas slreet shoo
store there Is also offered a pair of spiked
running shoes to the contestant who will
brc-ak a Xatlonal assoclallon record in any
event on the program.
If Ihls meet Is a success plans will be
made to hold another meet during the month
of rebru'ary In a much larger room , where
there will bo room for a number of running
events.
Below nro the rules of the Athlcllc League
of Norlh America governing the quarter-
mile potato race , which Is an Indoor event
anil new to most western athletes
"Scvcntccu potatoes ( or other light ob
jects ) and two boxes four inches deep ,
twelve luches In diameter , set on Mandb two

Ihe national base ball situation remains
unchanged and .is day after day goes , by
without any attempt on the part of the bite
ball magnates to settle thcso important
matters ono way or the other the public
becomes mure and moio impatient and dis
gusted al Ihe delay. Speculation Is life
ns to the outcome of the matter , but the
vvholo thing Is up to the National league ,
nud until It has a meeting and decides
whethci Its clicult In lliOO will remain as
It has been , or that It be reduced by the
abandoning of two or four of the cities , no
ono lo In a position to Know vvhcro he

For the good of base ball the leading
exponents of the national game are anxious
thai the big league i educe Its memborhhip
to eight cities 'Ihe Impotlant question will
undoubtedly be settled In the near futiuc ,
which will leave the oilier base l > all organ

of the tenltoiy to bo abamtoned will bo
practically settled before the National league
convenes again This accounts fur the othci-
wieo inexplicable delay In the rcpoit of
Mr. Blush and his -odates The purpose
of the national magnates is not only to "Id

but to prolect itself fiom opposition bv
