TERRY IS STILL CHAMPION
M'GoVERN PUTS GARDNER OUT
IN THIRD ROUND.
A Left Swinging Hook on the Mark
Does the Work-Betting Was
Heavy at Odds.

New York, March 9-Terry Meow
ern Of Brooklyn, knocked out Oscar
Gardner, the Omaha Kid" in the
third round of what was to have been
a twenty-five round bout before the
Broadway A. c. tonight. McGovern was
a favorite in the betting at long ODDS
Johnny White was referee.
Gardner did some good work in the
first round, succeeding in knocking Nc
Govern down with a left swing on the
Jaw. McGOVern rushed matters from
the opening Of the second round until
the end of the fight. His attack was
cycloniC and with a well directed left
he put Gardner to the floor. Gardner Is
defense proved to be of no use against
the torrent Of fistiC abuse that Nc
Govern rained on him. Three times
Gardner went down and each time he
almost took the count.
In the third round McGovern rushed
like bull dog at his adversary, md
threw left hook TO the jaw which
staggered the western man toward the
ropes. Then Terry sent a right TO the
race which sent Gardner staggering IN
the opposite direction and seeing that
Oscar was unable to Oerend himself,
the little champion stepped in and
landed a left swinging hook on the
mark, which put Gardner down and
or.
McGOvern was a t. 1 favOrite early
in the evening The Gardner people
held back for bigger odds and then
took even money that the Kid would
last ten rounds "Al" Smith bet $1,000
against $500 that McGovern would win.
A W y known Wall Street broker bet
$500 against $1,000 that Gardner would
last the limit of twenty five rounds.
When the preliminary bout was put
on there was not a vacant seat in The
house and the aisles were crowded.
The contestants in the opening bout
were Danny DOugherty of Philadel-
phia and Al Levy Of this city. They met
at lO5 pounds for twelve-round go.
