Dixon tried in every conceivable manner to get the advantage, but his blows did not have the steam behind them that his younger opponent was dealing out
 McGovern took matters rather easy dur ing the first two rounds, and the colored boy landed repeatedly, and near the end of this round staggered McGovern with vicious blow on the jaw. McGovern re- covered quickly, and was forcing matters when the round ended. McGovern worked up in the third, and Dixon looked troubled as the round closed.
 Dixon did some good work in the next two rounds, but McGovern was too strong for him, and made the veteran break ground repeatedly. In the last round It was all McGovern's. He went after Dixon with both hands, but Dixon lodged the is- sue and grabbed Terry around the neck
 
 Even in this manner Dixon received se- were beating, and was very weak at the end of the contest.
