IWAOE GfIEEDOfI QUIT
k «I_ID M'COY" THE MIDDLEWEIGHT
CHAMPION OF THE
WORLD.
FIFTEEN LIVELY ROUNDS.
AFTER THE LAST THE NEW 7.E.V
--LANDER THREW DP THE
SPONGE.
SPLENDID SHOWING OF SCIENCE.
From the Start the Indiana Boy Had
Things Pretty Much His Own
Way.
NEW YORK, Dec. 17.— Norman Sel
by, of Rush county, Ind., better known
in pugilistic circles as "Kid McCoy," is
undoubtedly the middleweight cham
pion pugilist of the world. He met
Dan Creedon, of New Zealand, tonight
ln the arena of the Puritan club, at
Long Island City, and after fighting
fifteen lively rounds, made the foreign
er throw up the sponge and acknowl
edge the "Hoosier's" superiority.
Long before the big event took place
the building in which it was held was
ciowded to excess and bets were freely
made, with McCoy the favorite at 10
to 8 on. The Kid's wonderful science
and self-possession were always in ev
idence and these, combined with the
advantage of height and reach, enabled
him to outpoint his more stockily built
antagonist. From the moment the men
put up their hands In the opening
round, McCoy's stock began to ascend
and at the end of the sixth round Mc-
Coy's backers were offering 3 to I
on their man, "McCoy Is a wonder,"
was the universal comment when the
fight was over, and no one, even those
who bet against him, begrudged him
hi.s well won laurels.
Charley White, who trained Bob Fitz
simmons for the fight with Peter Ma
her and later trained Corbett for his
bout with Fitzsimmons, in Carson City,
last St. Patrick's day, was one of the
most Interested spectators in the arena.
He said: "In all my ring experience I
have never seen such a magnificent ex
hibition by a middleweight as that
given by McCoy tonight, and if Fitz
simmons is out of the business as a
middleweight the 'Moosier' has no peer.
McCoy gave an excellent illustration of
the improved style of fighting inaugur
ated by Jack Dempsey and improved
by Jim Corbett. In tonight's fight he
was not even hurried, and now the best
of us are simply guessing as to how a
gcod a man the 'Kid' is. He has all
the physical advantages, and if he
takes good care of himself it will be a
long time before he meets with a de
feat."
During the preliminary bouts Jim
Coibett found time to express an opin
ion on the outcome of the main contest.
"My opinion has beeii all along that
both men are very evenly matched. I
have no preference. They say that Mc-
Coy has youth, height and reach, but
If I may venture an opinion, I must say
that age does not count, and I prefer
ring experience."
The ring, which was pitched in the
center of the club house, was about
twenty feet square. After the two pre
liminary bouts had been wound up,
Mayor P. J. Gleason walked up the
main aisle and was received with
cheers. When he reached the ringside
a dozen men lifted him and put him
A$. ii a square circle. There was loud
cVles for a speech, to which the mayor
replied. He said in part: Gentlemen:
lam not John Sullivan, nor McCoy, nor
Creedon. I am the mayor of this city
and I bid you all welcome. This Is the
first time I have entered the fistic ring
scientifically, but I can assure you that
any person who came here tonight to
see a prize fight had better go right
new to the box office and get his money
back. This ring will only be occupied
by men who take part in boxing con
tests."
IN THE RING.
Dan Creedon entered the ring at 9:53.
He was accompanied by Joe Choynskl,
Tom Tracav and Beni.y Murphy. Cree
don was in excellent condition and
looked very confident. Five minutes
later McCoy jumped through the ropes.
McCoy's seconds were Homer Selby
(McCoy's brother), Doc Payne and
Tommy West. Very little time was lost
in putting on the gloves and the men
shook hands at 10:10 o'clock. McCoy's
advantage in height and reach were
very apparent. Creedon was four inches
shorter than McCoy, but he was stock
ily built and every muscle was clearly
developed. McCoy was in excellent
shape and nodded ln confidence to his
friends In the seats and the ring near
his corner. The announcer said the
men would fight twenty-five rounds,
and. If at the end of the twenty-fifth
round, the referee, Sam Austin, could
not pick a winner, the men would con
tinue fighting until the referee could
give a decision. He also said that the
contest was to decide the middleweight
championship of the world.
Artrr some light sparring in tho first
Creedon Jabbed a light left on the cheek.
Both swung rights, but missed and clinched.
McCoy led a left on the mouth and Creedon
tried a return, but fell short. They
clinched near the ropes, after which Creedon
put his right on the head. McCoy looked to
the referee for a claim of foul and Creedon
took advantage of the aitlon and put a left
swing on his adversary's face. They re
sumed sparring and McCoy jabbed the right
and left on the body while Creedon landed a
hard left uppercut on t'.e face.
McCoy opened the 6ccond with a left on
the fac. and skipped back from a left swing
of Creedon's left. In two clinches Creedon
reached McCoy's face with his left glove. Mc-
Coy jabbed a stiff right on the rib 3 without
a return and missed a left swing for the
jaw. They were sparring when tho gong
ransr.
In round three McCoy led a light left on the

face and then swung his left on the face and
three rights and one left on the ribs in quick
succession at close quarters. Creedon was
very slow in his movements and ran into a
clinch on the ropes. McCoy cut loose and
sent his left on the stomach and his right on
the head. Then they clinched. In the clinch
Creedon swung a short right on the head and
was hissed for so doing. But, as they were
fighting with one arm free, Creedon was per
fectly right. McCoy wound up the round with
a left jab on the wind and a right on the
ribs, while Creedon swung a left on the head.
CLEVER WITH HIS LEFT.
McCoy ln the fourth landed a Dixon double
blow on tho ribs and head with his left very
cleverly and stepped away without a return.
Creedon landed his right and left on body.
After some sparring, during which McCoy was
far the quicker, the Indiana boxer sent ln a
hard left Jab on the mouth. Creedon became
very cautious, and waited for an opening.
When it came he landed a right on the ribs
and brought it up to the head, forcing McCoy
to the ropes at the call of time.
They got into a clinch early ln the fifth
round, and Creedon shoved his right hard over
McCoy's heart. In close quarters, McCoy
jabbed two hard rights on the ribs and an
other on the head. Creedon tried very hard
to reach McCoy's body, but was unsuccessful,
while McCoy frequently jabbed light lefts on
the stomach.
For the sixth round both men came up very
fresh. Creedon landed a left on the head and
McCoy countered. McCoy s^nt his left hard
on the wind and Creedon sent his left lightly
on the face. Creedon landed a nice left on
the neck after McCoy made two ineffectual at
tempts for the wind. McCoy then feinted
with his left for the face and brought the
back of his glove smartly on Crcedon's jaw.
Creedon rushed and missed two left swings
for McCoy jumped back out of harm's way.
Both led lefts In the seventh and missed
after a long spell of sparring. Creedon sent
his left to the head and McCoy in a half
clinch put two lefts on the ribs. Two lefts
on the jaw and a swing on the head were
McCoy's next contributions to which Dan
failed to make any return. McCoy landed
right and left hooks on the head and stepped
back quickly. Creedon rushed and McCoy
side-stepiped. lie uppercut Creedon with his
left and swung his right to the head. McCoy
then rushed and swung a rinht nnd left on
the head and Creedon Jabbed a light right on
the head.
In sparring for fin opening In the eighth,
McCoy succeeded In getting his left lightly
to Creedon's head. Creedon did likewise, but
was immed'atrdv sent to the ro.es from the
effects of a stiff left swing on the face. Mc-
Coy followed up this advantage wih a light
left on the stomach and a hard right .win?
on the head. McCoy's Ixng reach sei mod too
much for Creedon and the youngster always
wore a self-.aMsfied smile.
Creedon in the ninth led his left for the
head but was nicely stopped. He then tried
to force the fighting, but McCoy clinched
and they landed ln a neutral corner. When
they broke away McCoy sent two left jahs
on the face and crossed his right on the
head. McCoy then side-stepped nnd landed
three left swings on the head. The last of
these opened Creedon's right eyebrow. which
bled freely, and McCoy ki pf Jabbing his left
continually on the wind until the go. g sound
ed.
M'COY FOXY.
In round ten Creedon led his left on the
mouth and McCoy missed a right lead for
the head. Creedon forced matters, but Mc-
Coy was too foxy and waited for an open
ing. Creedon gave him one and McCoy
swung his left on the wind and brought his
right up smartly from the short rib to tho
head twice.
McCoy opened the eleventh with three lefts
on the damaged eye nnd started the blood
again. Creedon swung a left on the stomach
and McCoy swung lefts and rights on tho
head, stomach ar.d ribs, forcing Creedon lo
the ropes. After this rally Creedon was
bleeding freely and a right jab from Mi Coy
on the head sent Creedon to the floor, but it
was more of a slip than a knock-down.
Creedon took bis time in o tting up and as
he arose the gong sounded.
Creedon adopted rushing for a change In
the twelfth and landed a left hook on Mc-
Coy's head. In a clinch he repeated this
blow. McCoy countered with a hook on the
back of the head. .lust then McC.y rubbed
his gloves on his white trunks and covered
them with Dans blood. The Kid Jabbed his
left on the face and they el fnched. Creedon
hooked a right on the head, and after the
breakaway. Dan swung a left on tbe face.
Creedon opened the thirteenth with a rush
and forced McCoy to the ropes without dam
age. .McCoy came back very fast and sent in
three left jabs on the face and three rights
on the ribs without a return. A hard left
on the wind made Creedon grunt. The New
Zealander rushed and jabbed right on the
head. The Kid swung a heavy left on the
head which turned Dan's cranium half
around. After light sparring Creedon put a
left on the head and McCoy clinched as the
bell rang.
In the fourteenth Creedon rushed, but Mc-
Coy threw him off and forced Dan to the
ropes. McCoy jabbed a beautiful left On the
mouth and stopped a lead for the stomach
They exchanged left Jabs on the face twice
and McCoy landed a heavy left on Creedon's
"Me. which sent Dan's head back and start
ed his eye bleeding again.
Creedon's eye was fixed up with a plaster
and ho looked anything but handsome when
he came from his corner. Tor what proved tho
last round. McCoy provokinglv kept jabbing
his left on the stomach, occasionally vary
ing his tactics with Jabs on the face. His
advantage of reach was too great a handi
cap for Dan. McCoy In a rush uppercut
with his left on the face and hooked his
right on the Jaw, flooring Creedon in his own
corner. Dan took the full limit to get up
and then clinched. Creedon was very weak
when he went to his corner and was unable
to respond when the gong rang for the be
ginning of the sixteenth round.
THREW UP THE SPONGE.
Cboynski, seeing his man was beat
en, threw up the sponge, and as he did
so the spectators broke into cheers and
tried to jump into the ring to hug Mc-
Coy. The latter's brother threw his
arms around the "Kid's" neck and
kissed him. McCoy playfully resented
this salutation with a slap on the back.
McCoy, as soon as the announcer
cried "McCoy wins," jumped across the
ring and shook hands with Creedon,
who acknowledged his defeat very good
naturedly. When Cr.econ left the ling
he was greeted with many good wishes,
but McCoy held a reception for fully
ten minutes before he retired to his
dressing room.
The curtain-raiser was a six round
affair in which Steve Flanagan, of
Philadelphia, and George Ross, of this
city, met at 105 pounds. They started
in at a lively pace, Ross being the ag
gressor, and In the first round he land
ed a hard left on the Philadelphlans
face, cutting him about the eye badly.
It was erive and take in the three
rounds, both boys getting around the
ring lively, and the fighting was fast.
In the fifth round Flanagan landed a
hard right on the nose and Ross bled
profusely. The Philadelphian played
for the body, and at the end had his
man pretty well worked out. Flanagan
got the decision.
Jack McKeck, of New York, and Jack
Ward, of Newark, N. J., then fought
eight rounds at 115 pounds. The men
merely sparred around for several
rounds. In the fifth they began to
warm up, and in the sixth Ward landed
a couple of good swings on the jaw
and continued to force the fighting
throughout the next two rounds. He
knocked McKeck up against the ropes
in the seventh, but McKeck got back at
him in the last round- when he jolted
Ward's jaw two or three times. The
referee declared the bout a draw.

six rounds for fun.
SHORTAGE OF FOOTBALL FUNDS.
Serious Charges Made Against the
Managers of the Team.
In connection with his remarks at the meet
ing Thursday night, at which new officers
were elected. Prof. Denton has made a state
ment in which he charges mismanagement
against the old board aud practically claims
that there is a shortage of funds and that
other assets which are put in as cash are
doubtful. As a result they are yet unable
to tell how much has passed between the
treasurer, Frank Murphy, and Manager Fin
layson. Says Prof. Denton:
_____ has in. e»e a statement, but they fail
THE SAINT PAUL, GLOBS: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18. 1897.
to agree. The board has ever since been try
ing to determine the correct amount.
The difficulty has been caused in part by
the managers turning over receipted bills and
ln turn getting receipts from the treasurer
for cash. In these transactions no distinc
tions have been made as to cash and re
ceipted bills.
The board has ruled also that the manager
should get tickets before each game from
the ticket committee. The tickets were sup
plied with coupons which were to be torn off.
The mutilated tickets would thus form a
check on the receipts. This check was de
feated by the refusal to mutilate the tickets
on the ground that It was impossible.
The only game on which we had any
check was Wisconsin, because the ticket com
mittee issued tickets and Wisconsin men were
at the gates. Minnesota's share for that
game was $200 less than Wisconsin's. A
committee was appointed to investigate the
shortage, but so far has absolutely been un
able to make any report
So far as we can make out, the last sea
son did not pay its own expenses, as there
are $500 in bills in the treasury and no money
to pay them. There are assets amounting,
face value, to over that sum, but the board
does not rate them at worth more than $200.
Thus we will actually be forced to begin the
new year with a debt larger than that left
us as a legacy a year ago, unless the un
certain assets at hand happen to prove more
than enough to meet the load of debt accu
mulated this season. Including liabilities,
the association Is probably responsible for
more than $1,000 worth of claims."
At the meeting of the board Thursday even
ing the old officers. President Harding. Vice
President Scandrett and Secretary Billings
were re-elected. The men nominated for di
rectors from the student body, were E. A.
Freeman, Robert Hastings, Chi Psi; James
Melntyre; J. C. Litzenberg, Delta Upsilon;
John HarrlEon, Psi Upsilon, and F. U. Davis,
Phi Kappa Psi. The first four men were
chosen. Hastings and I.it/.enberg repres. iiting

INDOOR GAMES.
Great Enthusiasm the Rule at Madi
son Square.
NEW YORK, Dec. 17.— The New Jersey
At_l_tic club commenced its two nights'
meeting at Madison Square garden tonight
and from beginning to end the enthusiasm
was of a nature seldom witnessed. Although
no records were broken, the performances
were of high calibre, it. J. Wafers was the
star of the night. Unable to get through
his field in the 220 handicap, the incompara
ble springer spread-eagled his competitors In
tha fifty-yard dash, which had six starter...
All moved away as one man, but at twenty
live yards the champion was two feet to the
good and striding along inimitably. At the
tin ish he led by four feet in the clever time
of 5 3-5 seconds. Rush, hi. championship foe
of the past season, showed in second place by
a yard from Ed. Zinn, of the New West S:do
A. C.
The international dumb bell competition
called out a host of gladiators, and good
work was done throughout. The opening
event, the sixty-yard handicap, required ten
hra. s for a decision, Tevvskbury, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, catching the judges
by four ftet from Welsh, of St. Francis
Xavler A. A., ln 6 3-5 second.. The bicycle
race was productive of many spills, but no
bones were broken. The final showed Glan
gin, of the American Wheelmen, an easy
winner in a nvlnutes 1") 3-5 seconds. A score
of timber-toppers essayed to capture the
hurdle race at 220 yards, but that honor was
reserved for Lambert, of the Xaviers, ln
receipt of fourteen yards, who won in
:2ti 4-5.
The interscholastic team relay race proved
the event of the night and was productive
cf much enthusiasm. Tlie youngsters of Pln
gry schocl cantered heme, accomplishing the
mile in 3 minutes 50 1-5 seconds. Parry, of
the University of Pennsylvania, captured the
mile handicap in ea_y fashion from the
thirty-live-yard mark, the time being 4
minutes 35 4-5 seconds.

every day in preparation for its game to be
played at Detroit, Christmas day, with the
North Tonawanda High school team of Ton
awanda, N. V.. to decide the high school
football championship between the East and

clearly entitled to the Western championship,
as It has defeated every high school team it
I has met this season, and Evanston and Hyde

i the games arranged this season. For five
stiaight years the Madison eleven has held
tlie Western championship, never having
been defeated by a high school team since
the team was first organized.

Million and a Quarter Bushel - of
-Wheat Passed Out.
CHICAGO, Dec. 17.— The long looked
• for deliveries of December wheat ma-
I terialized this afternoon, 1,250,000 bush-
I els being sent out, over 1,000,000 hush
j els being by Armour. It went around
I among a number of commission houses
I In bundles and landed chiefly with Al
len-Grler, the leading brokers of the
Leiter party, who paid for 1,030,000
bushels. The rest was taken by Ged
des-Klrkwocd, Wienn anel a few otheis.
So far this month nearly 2,500.0.0 bush
els have been delivered by the eleva
tor men to Allen-Grler and paid for by
them, or about half what they expect
ed to pay for. Although the deliveries
do not clean up all the December con
tracts they have materially reduced
them and enable a number of the com
mission houses to settle their trades.
There is still a large quantity to be
delivered and it is expected that it will
come right along. The short Interest
In December has been reduced over 50
per cent since the first of the month,
and it now lies chiefly between the Lei
ter party anel the elevator men, who
have not made any deliveries as yet.
There are now eleven days before the
end of the month and the wheat will
be strung along that period. If there
is to be any sky rocketing, it will come
frr-m the Leiter party, or possibly from
a few tailers who have followed ln their
wake. Leiter says there is to be no
corner, and all indications point to the
much talked of deal passing like It did
in July and September.

UP OJI HIS DIGNITY

SENTINO M'KIM.EY.
ALCOHOL USED IN ARTS.
SPIRITED DEBATE PRECIPITATED
IN THE SENATE BY A JOINT
REPORT.
ONLY CIVIL SERVICE CLAUSE LEFT.
Other Portions of the Pending; Ap
propriation Bill Disposed of by
the House.
"WASHINGTON. Dec. 17— A spirited
debate was precipitated ln the senate
today by the submission by Mr. Piatt
(Conn.) of the report of the special
Joint committee of the senate and house
of representatives appointed to Investi
gate the use of alcohol ln the arts. It
developed that a wide divergence of
opinion exists among senators as to
the practicability, from the point of
view of government revenue, of reduc
ing the present tax upon alcohol used
ln the arte. Mr. Hoar .Mass.), who
favors such a reduction, expressed the
opinion that If congress would lay aside
political considerations and deal with
the liquor question courageously and
honestly by the Imposition of an ad
ditional tax of a dollar a barrel on beer,
the question of the government's reve
nues would take care of Itself. Mr.
Vest (Mo.) strenuously opposed any ad
ditional tax on beer.
A Joint resolution accepting the In
vitation of Norway to participate ln
an International fisheries exposition
next year was passed.
Under a special order 138 private pen
sion bills were passed.
At the suggestion of Mr. Hawley,
chairman of the military affairs com
mittee, the bill passed by the house
for the relief of the miners In the Klon
dike region was taken up at once. The
senate bill was substituted for that of
the house and a conference ordered,
with Messrs. Hawley, Carter and Cock
rell conferees.
During the day Mr. Stewart (Nev.)
rose to a question of personal prlvlleg,
to reply to a charge, which, he said,
had been made against him by Mr.
Chandler, a charge which he charac
terized as a very grave one. He re
ferred to the assertion of the New
Hampshire senator that he (Stewart)
had misrepresented the attitude of the
administration on the financial ques
tion. He had extracts read from the
statement made yesterday by Secretary
Gage before the house committee on
banking and currency to show- that the
administration waa committed to the
gold standard. He contended that the
statement fully confirmed all that he
had said and further that It manifested
a determination to place the control of
the currency ln the hands of the banks,
giving them all the advantages and ex
acting from them no security.
One of the pension bills granted a
pension of $50 a month to Casslus M.
Clay Sr.. of Kentucky, a major general
in the United States army during the
war of the rebellion.
Mr. Turple (Ind.) then presented the
regular order of business, the consid
eration of resolutions on the death of
William Steele Holman, late a repre-
sentative from Indiana. Tributes to
his menory were paid ln eloquent eulo
gies by Mr. Fairbanks, Indiana; Mr.
Mills (Tex.), Mr. Crockrell (Mo.), Mr.
Frye (Me.), and Mr. Turple (Ind.).
The resolutions of condolence were
passed, and as a further mark of re
spect the senate, at 4:25 p. m., ad
journed until tomorrow.
DOLLAR A POUND. ..H
Uniform Price for Everything; at
Mat. Hon City.
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 17.— A letter
from Skaguay, Alaska, gives the addi
tional news brought from Dawson by
Joe Kastner and Geo. McLaughlin, o_
Helena, Mont., who left Dawson, Nov.
3. When they left Dawson they wera
accompanied by I'at Holland, of Butte,
and William Kink, of Los Angeles.
Each man had a sled and an outfit of
about 140 pounds, which included pro
visions and blankets. After traveling
140 miles up the river, Kastner and Mc-
Laughlin abandoned their sleds and
with 100 pounds each on their backs
continued their journey, leaving Hol
land and King behind; they had deter
mined to stick to their sleds. Provis
ions at Dawson when they left were to
be had only from the recent arrivals,
who had some to spare. The prevailing
price was $1 a pound for every purchas
able article from a sack of flour to a
pick or single pan.
"Will there be starvation In Dawson,
thlH winter?" Mr. Kastner was asked.
" That Is a hard question," he said.
"If the people are put upon raitons,
thre will ln my opinion be enough
to tide over the winter, or until sup
plies can arrive, and there will be no
actual suffering from want of food."

sional agreement, except on the eight
