PUT WHITE OUT.
New York, June 13.-(Spl.) when
Terrence McGovern went to Coney
Island last night he took with him a
selected few of his mystic .iolts. iabs,
hook swings and punches. With these
he fabricated choice article of often
sivc fighting that was a delight to all
who saw 1t save one. The exception
was Tommy White of Chicago who
fell victim to the prowess of Ter
rible Terry in the three rounds.
For time it looked as though the
crowd that Travelled to the seashore
to see contest In q prize ring would
have to be content with the game of
blind mans buff. The lights took a
nasty turn and left the arena i'm dark

which was interrupted for short
time in the seventh round. This was
repeated just before the principals in
the star event reached the ring and
then for three-quartes of an hour the
spectators sat waiting with more or
less patience for the temperance of
the light that failed.

found the cheap seats deserted while
those nearer the ring were filed. There
was no appeal from the decision of the
crowd to help itself. The visitors had
come to stay and stay they did.
McGovern was evidently afraid that
tho lights would again fail and wish
ed to get his task off his hands, at the
earliest possible moment. Little time
was wasted In the preliminarics. The
boys came together after the referee.
Johnny White had announced that
they would fight according to straight

getting away, He outpoutcd Terry

that the champion was unhurt while
the few blows that he landed were
already weakening his antagonist. one
minute before the call of time was
due, the lights again failed ana there
was an annoying wait of perhaps ten
minutes. When operations were again
resumed, McGoyern rushed yciously
across the ring determined TO finish
matters right there and then If possl-
