Mr. Snerul moved a*, an amen?lm?nt
that the men should be paid for the
whole time of their suspension, and COO
tended that It would b?? manifestly un?
fair to dock men for trying to set WOflt

it was certainly ?uiite unneoeeeery. Be

tend to obstruct the clear view of th.

Shelby, of Rush county, Ind.. bettes

champion pugilist of the world.
He met Dan ?'ret-don. of Sew Zealand,
to-night In the arena of the Purlta?
Athletic Club, it Long Island -City, and
:tft.r lighting ?ft.-en lively round? made
the foreigner throw up the sponK'-? tare
acknowledge the "Hoosier*?" supereoiity.
Long before the big event toolt pU?-*o
the frame building In which It was held
was crowded to excess, and bet? were
freely made, with McCoy- the favortts,
at 10 to y
The "Kid's" wonderful ?elenco snd
self-possession were always in tvSlence,
and these, combine?! with the advantage
of height and reach. enabl.-?l him, to out?
point his more stocktly-bullt asgagoni-t.
From the moment the men put up their
banda In the opening round McCoy's
Btock began to ascend. It wus boosted"
so rapidly that at th.- end of the sixth
round McCoy* backer? were* ottering g
to 1 on their man.
"McCoy is a wonder" was the untver*
s.al comment when the fight was over.
and n.? one, even of those who bet
against him. begrudged him his well
eirnud laurels.
After two preliminary bouta had best!
wound up satisfactorily Mayor P. J.
Oleason walked up the main aisle, ami
was received with loud cheers. \Vrwn be
reached the ringside a doxen men lifted
him and put him Into the square?! circle.
There w.-re loud cries for a speech, to
which the Mayor replied. He said In
part:
"Gentlemen,?I am not John U Suits?
van. nor McCoy, nor Creed-on. I urn the
Msyor of this city, and l bid you all wepJ?
come. This Is the first time I ever en?>
tered the fistln ring, but I can assura
you that any person who cam here to?
night to se<- a prixe-llght had hitter go
right now to the box-office and get his
mon y back. This ring will only be oc?
cupleti by men who take- part in boxing
contest?."
It was 10:10 when McCoy and Cr?f?edon
commenced fli*htlng. The announcer sal?i
th.- men would light twenty-flve rounds,
ane! |f at the end of the twenty-tlfth
round the ref? ree, Ham. Austin, oould not
pick a winner, the men would continue
fighting until th.- referee could gire a

was to decide the middleweight cham?

During the llrst eight round? Cr-eedon]

ninth rounl McCoy drew first blood,
opening Creedon'B right eyebrow. In
th>- eleventh round Creedon was sent to
the floor, but It was more of a slip th?vn
a knock-down.
Round 11?Creedon a.iopt?d rushing for
a change, and tanded a left hcok on Mc?

blow. McCoy -countei d with a ruiok an
