C. for Junior Track Title. Interest In track and field events was revived yesterday when athletes who have been idle at home all Bummer, while our Olympic entrants were on the other eldo for two months, broke two records in the track and field championships meet held at Pershing Field, Jersey City, under the auspices of tho Metropolitan Association, A. A. U.

Robert HodgeB a former: Erasmus High School boy and -now with the N. V. A. eclipsed the junior runnin high jump record by tive-eights of an Inch when he cleared the bar at tf feet 1 inch. John Gibson of tho Bloomfleld Catholic Lyceum bettered the 440 yards hurdle mark by one-fifth of a second for the other record-smashing feat.

The feature event was a 100 yards race between Loren Murchlson, the Newark A. C. star sprinter and pride of the East, and Charles Paddock, California speed demon. The race was a dead heat and it was very evident that both of them did not try very hard, hut ran the race as a diversion from the other events. The time was 10 3-5 seconds.

Harry Singer of Brooklyn Evening High School took the running, hop, step and jump event with 43 feet 4 inches. An accident that almost cost the lives of some of the spectators occurred in the hammer throwing event, the closing one of the meet. While a contestant was twirling the hammer about his head, the steel wire attached to the hammer broke, and it flew just over the heads of the spectators, dropping directly behind them. It was very fortunate (or them that thoy were not any nearer. The officials remarked that it was the first time in their experience that such an accident lyid occurred.

The 35 weight throwing event was also postponed to next week, when the senior championships take place, for a similar reason. Upon examination, the wires holding the hammer were declared to be too weak, and therefore unsafe. The New York Athletic Club garnered the 45 points, beating out the Newark A. C. by five.

The hammer event clinched -the victory of the New York athletrs, when Joseph Caldwell and George Taylor, both of the N. Y. A. won second and third respectively. The summaries: 120-yard his-h hurdles Won by 3.

Peroy L. Kynaston, former No England tennia champion, and Anton Von BirnUth, New Jersey Stats tltleholder, by virtue of their victories on the courts of the Jackson Heights Tennis Club yesterday, will face each other this afternoon to deride the mitropolltan champion ship. KynastoT earned tfye right by defeating Cecil Donaldson, Kings County champion, 6 4, 3 6, 6 2. Von Bernuth won the second semifinal from Ralph M. DeMott, 6 2 6, 8 6, in a match that was a battle all the way.

The KynaBton-Donaldson affair was unmarkMi by any particular brilliance. Donaldson played a good game in spurts, but the West Side star was far the steadier. His ability to reach with ease the far corners of the court und rapidly to recover hlB position has been one of the features of the present tourney. He is a master of all departments of the game and his accurate placement of shot more than makes up for his lack of driving power. Kynaston has defeated Von Bernuth several times and lost to him only in the finals of the Jersey Statn tournament last year.

The Von Bernuth-DeMotf. tussle was a match of breaks. Unfortunately, DeMott got the worst of these at the crucial moment. Unfortunately, because during the second and third sets he seemed the better. The bust tennis of the afternoon was seen when DeMott came up from 1 .1 in the third set to 4 3, to 6 4 and again to 6 DeMott was game until the last point.

Never did he give up a point. On several occasions he hurdled benches and chased behind the grandstand to return what seemed obvious "kills" by Von Bernuth, and frequently he made tht. point that seemed lost. His speed seemed to spectators remarkable and his game so, different from that of Kynaston's that a final between these two would have been interesting. Von Bernuth and Kynaston play about the sarax game, the former having the edge at.

the net, due to his greater height, and Kynaston a shade the better on ground strokes and superior as to placement. Brooklyns Down S. I. 'On Livingston Crease Dismissing the strong eleven of the Staten Island Cricket Club for 52 on their own ground at Livingston yesterday, the champion team of the Brooklyn Cricket Club gained another victory by a margin of 110 runs in the annual series for the championship of the New York and New jersey Cricket Association. The JJrooklyns, batting first, gathered 162 for the loss of 8 wickets and then "declared." V.

H. Cockeram and C. H. Russell, with 43 and 40, respectively, led in the batting. H.

V. H. Taylor, the Staten Island howler, enjoyed the satisfaction of petting J. L. Poyer, champion bat, with his first ball.

E. Turville and V. Jardlne were the only Staten Iain nd batsmen to reach double figures. Harry Rushton, with 5 wickets for 15 runs, and W. S.

Aft-rnclee: 1rBride'ii, Tjeon Tyson A- Co, i ucaiu uu Aug. li Airs. 1 Iteresit whom he was living and who, he wife, he having been married to shot hurnelf and he may escape on the or the madhouse for ferocity of Dempsey or that of Leonard against Mitchell. He was coldly, calculatingly cruel. The sight of an opponent's blood or bruises gave him pleasure, whereas In other boxers It would have merely stlmu lated their fighting instinct to sail in and stop the.

rival. All great boxers of the brainy type, such as Cans, Bob Fltzsimmons. Jimmy Wilde, Jim Corbett or Jack Johnson, have been cold and calcu lating in the ring. When against men they knew were dangerous they might cut up such men for a number of rounds, but not from the Joy of causing suffering. They were fol lowing a definite plan to weaken the other fellows, with the Intention of knocking them out as soon as they thought the weakening had progressed sufficiently to make the final attack successful.

0 Derived Sensual Thrill From Inflicting Pain. McCoy was different. He was distinctly of the sadist type. The knowledge that he was Inflicting puln gave him a thrill greater than tho knowledge tha.t he was winning. He would prolong, a bout at risk to his eventual success In order to prolong the sensual Joy of inflicting pain.

His record with women and his explosion resulted on Aug. 12 in the killing of one person and the wounding of three others were thoroughly consistent with past performances. Descriptions of the outbreak and aftermath Indicate that McCoy was under the Influence of drugs or whisky when he started his destruction. In a person of his sadist tendencies the release of all moral and Intellectual restraint through an overindulgence In whisky, especially bootleg whisky, and while under the stimulus of jealousy, hatred, or a desire for revenge, would almost certainly result in a killing or attempted killing. McCoy was born with a genius for boxing In Rushvllle, Indiana, a small town, son of a minister.

Some say the date was 1873, but he may be older than that. He began and continued as a faker. His bout with Jim Corbett killed the Horton Law In New York in the nineties, the law under which open boxing was sanc tioned, because of the charges of fake. -o- Long Career as Faker At Home and Abroad. DURING his early days McCoy flourished in the Middle West.

Sometimes he visited the town as a touring pugilist under his ring name of McCoy and knocked out the local pride, or, if more profitable, let the local pride win. Other times, under an assumed name, he would settle tn town for a brief space, build up a huge local following that was willing to back his cleverness and punch against another man, and conveniently lose. Then again, under an assumed name, he would visit a new town, where he would be looked upon as a set up for the local pride. The odds would be against the stranger, money to back the stranger would be discreetly found and the stranger would win, usually by a knockout. Those were all variations of the crooked footracing game which was on Its last legs, literally and figuratively, when McCoy came along und applied Its methods to boxing.

In his later years, when his course had been about run In the United States, McCoy went to South Africa and boxed under an alias. He met the South African champion, whose uauio nno xi'iiei ly, ij. we recall correctly, and who was fondly believed be a world beater. Naturally, McCoy being unknown; the South Africans laid against him liberally, which was the reason for the assumed name, and McCoy cleaned up thousands of dollars wjien he beat the pride of the Cape, or wherever the victim hailed from. It was the old, old "ringer" trick of the racetracks and other sports, and the role was one he played to perfection from long experience.

Incident Illustrating His Qulck-wlttedness. McCOY'S last bout was In Nice. France, while the war was on, and was marked by a characteristic Incident that illustrated his quick-wlttedness on all occasions, especially In the ring. It was first described In Sporting Life, of London, from which it was republished by the present writer in The Eagle, and became a classic of pugilism. London newspaper men who saw the Incident have since enlarged upon It In conversations.

McCoy was dropped In the bout by his French opponent. His head fell near where tho referee, sitting outside the ring, had deposited a whisky and soda for his own refreshment. When McCoy recovered from the momentary shock of the knockdown and looked about him. the first thing saw was that whisky and soda. Reaching under the ropes with his gloved hand, he grabbed the glass, drank the contents, was greatly Invigorated thereby, rose briskly and later knocked the Frenchman for a goal.

That was literally "one tor the book," and Fred Dartnell has put It his book, "Seconds Out." Cruel Corkscrew Punch Typical of McCoy. IN closing it is to the point to remark that McCoy's famous "corkscrew" punch was also characteristic the man. It was a short punch. delivered with force, and with a slight twist of the wrist as It landed. Properly applied, It gave added effect the Impact of the blow, but Its principal value In McCoy's eyes was that It tended to tear the skin and bring about hleedlng and bruising out of proportion to Its power.

That went to gratify the innate cruelty and blood lust of the man now In Jail charged with the murder of a woman and the wounding of three other persons. Fortunately, McCoy stands alone among modern pugilists In his sadist lovo of torturing opponents. ruDicin wnere me electric iignt win leaving him the love agony of sleep- isstiness ana vain regrets Deiweon that hour and tho small hours of the morning. Such will be his agony. If i li'J escapes tho death penalty.

Without Mercy and Without Conscience. So will Sttlngly close the book of Tne man without mercy and without conscience. Kid McCoy was In his tho only deliberately, calmly rruel boxer we have ever known. Ills was-not the cruelty of the fight- ing Instinct aroused by combat. All great champions are punlshers, what- ever the sport may be, when seized i with the frenjiy of combat.

Jack Dempsey in the ring is a person transformed. He seeks to demolish, i but gives no thought to the pain inflicted. He is not merciless. He merely desires to conquer definitely and as soon as possible. What con-' cerns him is the weakening, not the pain, wrought by his blows.

He has little or no personal feeling In the matter. His opponent might as well be one man as the other, so far as -hiH psychology Is concerned. Benny Leonard, when out to win decisively, is of the same type as Dempsey. He demonstrated that In his historic bout with Ritchie Mitch-ell, whom he knocked down three times In the first round, only to have Mitchell retaliate by knocking him down for the count of nine. The other four or five rounds of that bout saw Leonard revert to the primeval.

He hungered for victory. He literally beat the rival Into submls-Cs'on. and Mitchell suffered, but If Leonard could have felled Mitchell at one blow In ihe second round, he would have btn well content. He was not there to torture, but to quer. Boxers Have Pfo Desire Tj Prolong Punishment.

THAT Is the rule and the psychology In 199 out of 200 boxing con-- tests, and a point which few of the opponents of boxing understand. When a bout Is prolonged and undue punishment Is Inflicted by one man the other, as was the case on Aug. 11, when Jack Renault cut up "Eartley Madden, the prolongation is due to the inability of tne winner to stop his man speedily or to' some other cause, such as lack of courage take a chance on wading In for a quick knockout, fear of Injuring the hands, or the like. Renault has the reputation of being cruel to those he Is confident he can whip, but that does not mean that he does not want to whip them quickly. He would have elven sads of dollars to have been able to knock out Madden In a few rounds, because It would have meant many more thousands to have accomplished the feat.

Once In a great while a superior and hard-hitting boxer will refrain from administering the coup de grace of the knockout for the pur- pose of administering punishment and of obtaining personal revenge. Such cases arc so rare that the old can count them on the fingers of two hands. Seek Tlielr Revenge In Quirk Finishes. Joe Gans, the negro lightweight champion, famous for being- unemotional In the ring, was, stiangely enough, one of the few men v.ho.cut up his rival in a long bout when he have stopped him. Kut the victim was a white antagon'st who had gone out of his way to revile individually and his race generally, and Cans could hardly be 'blamed for his breach of ring ethics.

The ordinary rule Is for the boxer facing one against whom he harbors bitterness to try to show up his enemy by a quick victory. A remarkable example of that was furnished by Young Peter Jackscn, another negro. Jackson and Philadelphia Jack O'Brien were brought In Baltimore after the exchange of months of criminations and insults. Jackson was most proficient at administering body punishment at close quarters and at hitting on the breaks. That kept the pair apart for weeks.

They finally signed articles by which they were to. break absolutely clean, stopping back on the order of the reforee, and with no hitting In the breaks. How Young Peter Jackson Pnnislied Jack O'Brien. JACKSON went Into the ring that night to whip O'Brien, regardless of any such details as the percentage division of the purse, a blot on his record, or loss of money by those who had bet on him. He had no thought of torturing O'Brien.

He lusted to see his hated rival and the man who had reviled him lying prone at his feet, and the sooner the better. We were at the ringside that night 'In an armory In Baltimore, 20-odd years ago when the 'enemies met. In the second round, if memory serves correctly, Jackson saw O'Brien's jaw exposed an O'Brien dutifully stepped back at the order of the referee after a clinch. Heedless of consequences to himself and his friends, Jackson shot a right squarely to the point of O'Brien's chin and knocked him dead to the v.nrld. We can shut our eyes at this late day and see that powerful right of the negro middleweight Just grazing the referee's shoulder as it went to Its mark.

It was a palpable foul, Jackson was declared loser on a. foul, and his backers lost an immense sum, but Jackson had his private revenge. And his, action made clear what we have been getting at: That with ery, very few exceptions boxers seeking revenge do not undertake to beat up a man for the sake of Inflicting pain, but attempt to be-liule him by polishing him oft In the briefest possible lime. McCoy Was Cruel From Love of Cruelty. KID McCoy was cruel, cruel for the saUof cruelty, throughout his career in the ring.

His was not the a to he lri of to "Mick "and Hi "Uk" way that there's nobody to fight without going out of his class up Into the division above him. Then, again, Benny might get tired of the welterweight title in a few years and will, with added poundage, become a middleweight. Going on with this Pell, 80; E. C. Wilson, 78: W.
