VICTORY FOR TERRIBLE TERRY

At Louisville last night under the au-
spices of the Nonpareil Athletic Club
Terry McGovern, the featherweight
champion, knocked out Joe Bernstein OF
New York after a hard-fought en-
counter.
The battle. which was limited to 20
rounds at catch weights, ended in the
seventh round. Up 10 the end OF the
struggle Bernstein seemed to be making
good headway, and the knockout came
rather Unexpectedly. McGovern giving
his opponent his quietus with hard
right under the heart.
The blow was savage one, and Bern
stein went down like a log. McGovern
was I'm good form. and did not show any
great effects of the contest. Bernstein,
on the other hand, was badly punished.
