Billy Barrett of this city. who stopped Patsy
Haley OF Buffalo not long ago when the latter
was caught out of condition, tackled Terry Nc
Govern, the wonderful little bantam weight. at
the Broadway A. G last night. and was Knocked
out in the tenth round so decisvely that he was
unable to get up after ten seconds. Barrett
was beaten rather severely and was
put to sleep with riRht-hand smash
in the pit Of the stomach. He put up game
fight. but was Outclasscd from the start Al
though the fight was n knockout and there
was plenty Of hard hitting and some blood.
there was no interference by the police. Chief
Devery was not present. but Capt. Chapman
sat in box within arms length Of McGoyern's
corner
There was half a houseful when Tim Gala
han Of Philadelphia and Tommy sullivan Of
Brooklyn came on for u fiftecn-round pre-
liminary at catchweIGhts. The falling off in
attendance was due to several reasons-the
heat. the rather unattractive card from the
Barrett end and the fact that most OF the
sports were saving their money FOR the big
event to- ght. Still there were many out-of
town notables In the box seats. and they
saw enough hard fighting by Callahan

cess. There were plenty Of hard blows landed
by these youngsters. and both were bleeding
at the end OF the seventh round. yet there was
no attempt to stop them. and. for that matter.

han was ceverer in almost every respect than
the Brooklyni who was inclined to be rough
at times. especially in the clinchss From the

outclassed Callahan received tho decision.

by Sam Harris, Terry Lee and Charley May

bookmakers that Barrett would not last ten
rounds. Tho cond ltions were twenty five
rounds at catchweights. John White was the
