NEW WAY TO INCITE INTEREST IN HIMSELF

A 1 McCoy, middleweight pretender, who gained fame by knocking out George Chip in a round, seems to have discovered a new way to incite interest in his ring doings. Evidently he borrowed the idea from the fake wrestlers, who have long used the trick. These gentlemen found that when it was Impossible to gain popularity unpopularity would serve their purpose just as well. That gave .McCoy his cue, and now it appears his one ambition is to rouse the ire of the spectators by making use of every foul trick known to the ring. The natural result is that when MoCoy’s name appears on the bill the clubhouse is crowded by by those who come to see him soundly thrashed.
