Mexican Pete Had a Snap at Pueblo.
Pueblo, July ll:'--"Mexican Pete"
Everett of Cripple Creek, had about the
easiest time of his life in a prize fight
when he met J. C. McCoy before the
Rover club in what was to have boon a
20-round go tonight. McCoy is a brick
yarder and he showed up in the ring
looking soft and flabby, while the Mexi-
can seemed to be in pretty fair condi-
tion. McCoy seemed to be afraid of his
opponent and failed to lead once during
the fight. In the first round Everett
started the blood from MeCoy's nose
and thereafter the Mexican devoted ,his
attention to that member with short
right hand jabs, putting in an occasional
left hand swing upon McCoy's jaw. The
(',ripple Creeker could have put his man
out in the second round but he allowed
him to stick until the third. They had
no ~ooner met in the middle of the ring
than Everett landed a left hand awing
to McCoy's jaw and the brick yarder
went down and out. Two local men
fought a fast preliminary.
