TERRY M'GOVERN
 AGAIN VICTORIOUS
Tommy White Put Out in the
 Third Round.
CHICAGO LAD VAS TOO WEAK
Electric Lights Went Out and Delayed the Fight for an Honr-McGov- ern Made Runaway
 Affair of It

New York June 12-Terry McGoyern fully lived up to his title of featherweight champion at the Seaside Athletic club to- night by knocking out Tommy White, the clever Chicago boy, in three rounds. The little champion never showed better form and gave his opponent no rest from the sound of the gong in the opening round until the referee had counted off the fatal ten seconds.
 He took the stiff jabs which were handed out to him with a smile, and forced Tommy about the ring with terrible drives to the body and head. After the first round Whites face took on frightened look and he cinched repeatedly to save himself from punishment, but Terry tore away from his grasp as though White were a baby.
 The crowd looked for quick ending, but there were few present who expected the termination to come so soon. The third round was a succession of knock downs for White. No sooner would he regain his feet than he would go down again, and after going down for the seventh time he was so far gone that it was impossible for him to get up again, although he made a game effort. The boys were to have fought twenty-five rounds at 12S pounds ringside.
 Several challenges were issued to Me Govern before the bout.
 At S:35 both boys were in the club, and immediately proceeded to weigh in. Terry stepped on the scales fully clothed and fail cd to move the beam, but when Whites turn came it was found that he was a half pound overweight. McGoyern made no ob- jection. Just the boys were about ready to enter the ring the electric light appara- tus gave out, and for full hour the build iTt9 Xfa in f11 q 1arlyp TbA nIa 1f.io paratus was put in order again, and the boys were called to the ring.

 The Chicago lad wore black trunks and looked to be in excellent condition, and Terry, who wore pink with a green sash, never appeared to better advantage. Little time was lost, and the gong was rung.
 Terry immediately assumed the aggres- sive and was first to land with left swing to the neck. White broke ground and tried a left lead, but Terry blocked, and White went to a clnch, and was eau toned for holding They broke, and Terry forcing him about the ring, when the electric lights agaln Went out altef two minutes of fighting.
 After about ten minutes the lights were again lighted and they were at it again. Terry rushed and landed a left hook that made him sink to the floor. Terry assisted him to his feet and again landed the same blow and followed with both hands to the body just as the bell rang.
 Terry went after him like bull terrier in the second and was twice cautioned for holding. White jabbed Terry's face twice with stiff lefts, jarring Terry's head, but the champion sent a right to the ribs that made Tommy bend. Again White landed his left, and Terry responded with left to stomach and then hooked it to the jaw, sending White to the floor He got up groggy, and Terry dropped him again with the same blow just the bell rang.
 White came out for the third and Terry dropped him with a left on the jaw. He was up at five and went down again with right on body and head. He got to his feet again, only to go down.
