BROAD STAYS SIX ROUNDS.

Chicago Nov. 14.-Kid Broad, Of
Cleveland, stayed six rounds with
Terry MCGovern at TattersalPs last
night, and although McGOvern had the
fight we'll in hand at most stages he
never had an opponent who came back
at him more stoutly, and who gave him
as, much in the same time as did the
little stocky fellow from Cleveland.
Broad fought wonderful fight. mix
ing it freely with McGOvern at all
stages and scoring two clean knock
downs. A third time he landed left
on McGovern, sending him nearly
down.
Broad kept his feet throughout the
fight except in the first round when he
was knocked down, and in the sixth
when he went down of his own accord
to rest. He could not have fought an
other round, however, and was COM
pletely smothered by the storm Of
blows which the champion rained up
on him. At the end of the fight both
men were in the center of the ring,
and both covered with blOod-all from
Broad, however, AS they separated
to go to their corners Broad put his
hands on McGOvern's shoulders and
gave him a hearty kiss.
