Patsy Haley and Turkey Point Bill

One Mixed Ii, the other Raced.

Chicago. November 1s.--Terry McGovern
established record tonight by knocking gu,
two men in quick succession In the same
ring The first victim of the champion was
Patsy Haley of Buffalo. who was counted out
after one minute and forty seconds of fight
ing. and Turkey Point Bill Smith of Phil
adelphia, who went out after one minute of
the third round. Each fight was to have been
for six rounds. Haley weighed ile, McGovern
l22 and Smith l2o.
Haley and Smith adopted opposite tactics.
Haley mixing it from the start and Smith
racing wildly around the ring in the effort
to keep beyond McGoverns swings Mctioy-
ern went at Haley like u whiriwind and had
him guessing in thirty seconds Then short
left hand 1ab to the Jaw sent him down He
lay down seven seconds, but came up strongly
only to fall when McGovern led with left aud
whipped his right across to the jaw. 1t was
fully five minutes before he was able to leave
the ring
Had Smith mixed it as Haley did he would
have lasted no longer than the Buffalo man,
for within few seconds after he made his
first stand and showed any intention of fight
ing 1t out he was sent to the floor with a right
on the jaw which put him out of the business
for fully three minutes.

JEFFRIEs' PROGRAMME.
No Fault Cnn BE Found with His
Proposed Course.

Frank Hough, In the Philadelphia. Inquirer,
says: "No fault can be found with the pro-
gramme Jeffries has mapped out for him
self. 1t is one OF the privileges of the cham
pion to nominate the order in which he will
take on his challenges. He has elected to
meet Corbett first then Rubin and then the
winner of the proposed mill between Fitz
aud Sharkey, or both of them in the event
OF Their failure to come together. All this
talk about this one and that one being bet
ter entitled 10 meeting with the champion
is all tonimy-rot. His decisive victory over
titzsimmons and his subsequent defeat Of
Shaikey settled that If an outsider had any
preference probably Peter Maher would have
as much clam to that distinction as any
other member of the heavy weight brigade
but there are no rights OF priority which the
champion is bouna to recognize. His pro-
posed meeting with Corbett In August will be
regarded with some distrust. 1t savors too
much of family affair. Resides, assuming
that Corbett was in good shape the night
he met Sharkey at the Lenox club, there
would be nothing TO a fight between him and
Jeifries. After withstandng the walloping
that Sharkey handed out in the recent TWEEN
ty-five round affair there is no reason for
believing that Jeffres will be visiby an
noyed by any OF Corhe.t's punches. AS to
Corbett winning out by his cleyerness, that's
all poppycock. 1t did not save him at Car
son Cityswith Fitz. and would not have saved
him at the Lenox with Sharkey The Sailor
man got to him. and whatever sharkey can
do in that Inc Jeffries certainly can. an
this may be premature. however. 1t remains
to be seen whether a bona fide match is 70
be made. 1t may only be sort OF boxit
for Jims interior decoration plant. II the
match is made, though, 1t will hardly be as
big financial winner as were the last two
big bouts. for there are any number OF fol-
lowers of the ring who will never be salts
fled that Corbett meant to be OIL the level
the night he met Sharkey. They VIII not
take chances on another barney"
