Tuesday night the Seaforth Jun-
iors staged their first hockey gaits
of the season, after a week of prac-
tising. Although Seaforth has a
few from last year's juniors, it
looked much like the 1951-52 'Mid-
get team.., The first exhibition with
Byron Juniors showed Seaforth a
little slow and in need of ,practice.
Although the locale won by a score
of 5-3, the game 'was far from be-
ing a speedy contest.

rarely,, if ever, hear' any one call At

McCoy." . 'What he'll say is '!the.
real ' MacKay." In': the trotted.
States, however, and tomtit.* here;
too, I think, "the real 'McCoy" is
the preferred expression.'
Which le right? : +,
Well, in cases of usage, the gen-
eral rule is that the phrase which
comes into common practice is ac-
cepted. Take O.K., for example:
There are some people around who.
deplore 'it, but almost everybody
uses it and whether the purists like
it ' or not, it'shere to stay. 'By tfiis
rule, "the real MCCoy" is quite pro-
per. on, this' side of the Atlantic.
But let's be sure we don't get aver -
proud of it and begin believing, as
I have beard some Americans say,
that it is the true and older form.
It is not.
In fact it's not too certain when
it began. It may have started as
late as the early 1920's during the
era of prohibition and bootleggers.
In those days almost every pur-
veyor' of Illicit liquor either water-
ed or adulterated the stuff he sold,
but there was one honest bootleg-
ger in New York, name of Bill Mc-
Coy, who had a reputation for sell-
ing real whiskey and. hence, some
say, came the expression, "the
real ';McCoy." On the other hand,
there are those 'who plump for a
more ancient source, around, 1895.
These folk claim that it began with
the amazing career 'of a U.S. boxer
called Kid [McCoy. McCoy started•
as a welterw'eight and was the best
in his class; as he put on weight
he became successively a middle-
weight, a light -heavy -weight and- a
heavy -weight, and won distinction

• V' lte +E at a11 • sounds' very con
vlucghg until yow know the. story
of "thee real Mackay." • Itr the *trot
place I know that it was in use at
least ten- years before Kid 'McCoy
started' his career, because I-hhave
read Min a letter of Robert 'Louis
Stevenson, dated:18$6. But'it%prob.
.ably gees back a lot farther than
that. 'There are several Scotch
whiskies which are described by
their makers as "the real Mackay,"
but I don't think any of them orig-
inated the phrase. 'The 'Mackay
country;is north oaf Inverness and
that happens -to be the Scotch whis-
ky country too. I suspect that the
distillers merely borrowed the
phrase which was already in use.
The 'traditional story is that
there are two branched of the Clan
Mackay—the Black Mackays and
the Red Mackays, and these two
factions were continual}y disputing,
their priority. , Eventually the dis-
pute was settled on 'Lord Reay;
whose theirs have heen the chief-
tains ever since. In short, they
are "the real Mackays," a phrase
designed to bolster their claim
against all opposition. The orig-
inal Lord 'Reay left Caithness in
1623 and that certainly places the
beginning of the phrase a lot far-
ther back than any of the U.S.
claims for McCoy.
There is not much doubt but that
the phrase originated in Scotland
in the seventeenth century, and
much later got corrupted in Ameri-
can usage either •by a prize-fighter
or a bootlegger. It doesn't matter
much either way. The one certain
thins is that it looks• -as if "the
real McCoy" is a fixture in our
language. Personally, I prefer "the
real Mackay," but maybe' it would
be easier simply to' say "the real
thing,"
