ducked another right. Joe sent the Kid's
head back with a straight left ln face. He
repeated the blow amid the wildest ex
citement, but fen another attempt got a
right which sat him down. The fall was
probably partly due to Choynski's slip
ping as he got up very lively and got
away from a vicious rush. McCoy swung
left to the face as the gong sounded.
This was Choynski's round.

j and a moment later left on body. He con-
I tinued forcing, however, stopped a right
I with his head -md swung his right for
j head, missing, winch almost carried him
i off his balance by its force. McCoy's foot
] work puzzled Joe and kept blni guessing
j as to what to do. He finally sent in left
to the Kid's neck, but the round was very
. tame and slow.
Round Twelve— McCoy started to force
matter-- sent left jab to face and missed
j a right for the jaw at which point Joe

! the center of the ring where they shook
I hands.
McCoy gets the decision.
Alter the preliminaries, which were
| very tame exhibition affairs, there fol-
I lowed a long wait, lt developed that the
| cause of delay was due to McCoy's de
i mands that the winner's share of re-
I c, ipts ba deposited in one corner of the
j ring. This was finally agreed to, but
there was delay in counting the money
i in the box.
At 'J:52 p. m. Choynski made his appear

ried a box of rosin across to McCoy, and
sprinkled some on the floor for his ad
versary. McCoy was introduced by Billy
Jordan, as the coming champion of the
world, which declaration was greeted
with wild applause.
Jim Kennedy was then introduced as
the referee. Both men wore bandages
about their hands. When McCoy stripped
he wore short white trunks, loose, like
those of a sprinter. He appeared pretty
finely drawn. Choynski stripped to a
very short loin cloth. He showed up well,
his massive shoulders quite oversfiaflow-
Ing those of McCoy.
At 10 p. m. the referee called the men
to the center and gave Instructions. They
agreed to break away clean.

llllKlllllrs.
St. Paul fares pretty well ln making
up the schedule of the Western Base Ball
league, which was adopted yesterday at
Milwaukee. The club opens at Kansas
City April 27, going thence to Milwaukee
and then coming home. Indianapolis is
here for the Decoration day games, and
St. Paul ami Minneapolis have their
usual alternate contests July 4. St.
Paul and Indianapolis are also pitted
against each other for Labor day, Sept.
4. St. Paul closes the season at Colum
bus.
The Western league magnates were
suspected of holding aloof from the adop
tion of a schedule until after a meeting
of the National leaguers in New York,
w hlch will decide whether or not Cleve
land will figure in the big league, but
I hey got together late yesterday and
adopted the season's schedule, which
takes In Columbus. However, should the
National league drop Cleveland lt will be
an easy matter to transfer the Columbus
aggregation to the Forest City without
any material changing of the schedule.
The season opens on April 27, closes
Sept. 11, and calls for 126 games.

moned E. C. Becker, the new owner of
the St. Louis club. At 7 o'clock there
was a recess of an hour. Nothing was
given out as to what had been done.
The board again went into session at
S o'clock and was still behind closed doors
at midnight. It was said that the entire
time was occupied in a discussion over
the St. Louis club, and that up to mid
night nothing definite had been arrived at.
It was also stated by some of the league
men, earlier In the evening, that probably
the schedule would be held over until to
morrow.
The league adjourned at 12:40 a. m., to
meet again at 10 a. m. It was announced
that the result of the meeting was the
expulsion of the old St. Louis club of
ficially known as the Sportsman's club
and St. Louis Base Ball association, from
the league and the admission of the
American Base Ball and Athletic Exhi
bition Company of St. Louis, to member
ship ln the league. Prank De Haas Rob-
Ison Is the president of the New associa
tion, and E. C Becker, vice president.
The action of the league Is said to mean
that the Cleveland club will be trans
ferred to St. Louis and the old St. Louis I
Base Ball club disorganized.
The expulsion was made on charges
passed against the club by President
Hart, of Chicago, for the non-payment
of tbe $1 000 fine imposed on St. Louis in
tho Becker deal.
TO HAVE MOKE ROOM.
The St. Paul Athletic Club Soon to
Have largrr Quartern.
The St. Paul Athletic club will soon
have additional room in their present
quarters, afforded by a new building
which is to be built on the property next
to the club's present Sixth street loca
tion.
The new building will be put up by E.
B. Smith, a member of the club, and the
entire third floor will be devoted to club
purposes. Mr. Smith presented the plans
to President Egan last night and request
ed that he make any suggestions he
thought fit, in order to give the club bet
ter facilities. The third floor of the build
ing, now occupied by the club, is used as
; a gymnasium and the corresponding floor
ol the new building will be fitted up with
two of the finest handball courts in the
United States, and will contain every con
venience necessary to the comfort of the
devotees of the game.

The St. Paul Athletic club Is making an .
earnest effort to receive the old-time In
terest in the game of lacrosse. Several
members of former successful lacrosse
teams are still members of the club, and
are planning to organize a winning team
for the coming season. The matter has
been talked over with all Interested, and
the athletes have received the promise of
liberal patronage If they will organize
and get out. As soon as the weather per
mits a team will be named and practice
commenced on the club's grounds at the
corner of Tenth and Jackson streets
Lacrosse is a game which has been very
popular In St. Paul, and lt ls thought that
It can be made so again. In 1884, a St
I aul team held the championship of the
world, defeating the Shamrocks of To- '

Prospects for a Game With Wl-con-
Bin Are Good.
- G ;«' Phe -P"', "onager of the University
oi Minnesota football team, said yester
day: ' c '
''The prospects for a game between
Wisconsin and Minnesota are very good
There ls a very strong sentiment in Madi
son ameng the students and the alumni
In favor of a game with Minnesota at
the cost of some of the other much-prized
dates. Manager Fisher, of Wisconsin, ls
anxious for a game, but it has seemed
about impossible for us to agree upon a
date. The hitch has come over the Illi
nois date, which was given Illinois as
a concession for her part in the 'com
bine against Stagg, air was also next
year's Thanksgiving game. President
Adams -will not hear of changing thi»
date. There is a strong possibility of
making a change with Chicago, so that
we can get together. I expect to hear
definitely by tomorrow.
"As to the combine against Stagg, we
have nothing whatever to do with either
side. We are not backing Stagg, nor
are we fig-thing htm. I failed In getting
a satisfactory date with Wisconsin, so
tried Stagg long before I even heard of
the fight. Stagg madeyus a good offer,
which we accepted. We are now ready
to do what we can to meet Wisconsin.
Chicago people do not cor slder that we
have dropped from Itrat'Tank. Stagg has
offered me a two li'ea^s' contract on
favorable terms, he to cttne to Minne
apolis next fall."
