IS srtot A COWARD ?If McCoy wants to square himself with the sporting public he can do so In no better way than by getting on a match with the colored demon, Joe Walcott, who seems ready to meet any of the big fellows. Joe's manager, Tom O’Rourke, once' posted ?5,0U0 to bind a match with McCoy, but tbe latter drew the color line. Coming to eases, did McCoy ever beat anybody In his life that was of consequence, barring Tommy Ryan, Peter Maher and poor old Dan Creedon? asks a sporting authority. Didn't Ryan give the Kid the hottest kind of a go” at Chicago last winter? Was it not Jack Bonner, fat and slow, who made the Kid blink last year? McCoy •ays that Corbett beat him on the level, and according to form this would seem to be the case. The Kid has been overrated and cleverly boomed. When it is considered how little he has accomplished in the prize ring, his prominence in pugilism is astonishing.
