his wonderful hard hitting powers and
clever as we'll as fast ring work tonight
at the Broadway Athletic club by whip
ping Sammy Kelley of Manhattan In
less than five rounds, Kellsy was in good
shape but McGovern with youth on his
side was better. Although McGovern was
the favorite at 100 to 40, there were many
bets made at even money that Kelley
would last twenty rounds. 1t was an
nounced that the lads would box twenty
five rounds at 100 pounds under Marquis
of Queensbury rules. Johnny White was
the referee.
In the opening round, Kelley landed q

holding and after being ordered to break

opponent on the body severely. McGovern
In the second round forced Kelley into
the latter's corner sending right and left
to the head. Terry drove left and right
to the wind and ribs. These weakened
ground slipped to the floor. McGovern
helped him to his feet. From this until
the close of the round, Kelley kept break
ing away with McGovern forcing the
pace. In the third round McGovern be-
gan boring In and sending that tripham-
mer right hard and fast to Kelley's ribs.
Kelley landed good left swing on
Ierry's face. During the fourth Kelley
swung his right on 1erry's jaw, but the
younger man kept on forcing.
In the fifth McGovern was tho aggres-
'sor. Finally Terry rushed and swung bis
left to the head, followed by right on
the jaw, staggering Kelley. Then he sent
his left to the jaw and Kelley fell back
wards, his head striking the floor heavily.
Kelley tried hard to get up. but it was to
no purpose, and he was counted out.
Kelley then got to his feet. Time of last
round thirty eight seconds.
