Only One Round.

New York, Sept. 13.-Terry Meow
ern. of Brooklyn, whipped Pedlar
Palmer, of London, thoroughly in less

Westchester club. near Tuckahoe, y. y,
Tuesday afternoon. With the victory
went the title of bantam champion of
the world, although both contestants
were actually in the feather weight
class. The Englishman, although fore
ing the pace at the outset, was really
never in it, and McGovern simply bat
tered his opponent into partial insen-
sibility. The battle did not last quite
one round, the actual time of fighting
being exactly two minutes and 30 sec
onds, at the end of which time Palmer
was lying helpless, though half-con-
scious, on the floor of the ring. The
purse for which the lads contested was
$4,000, rs per cent. Of which went to
the winner and the remainder to the
loser. Nine thousand spectators witt
messed the battle.
