Hartford, Conn, Nov. 30.-Outwitted
and outpointed by fighter just like
himself. McGovern had to lower his
colors yesterday afternoon at the Nut
meg Athletic club to Young Corbett
within six minutes from the start of
the fight. Young Corbett. who, outside
Of ring parlance, is known as Billy
Rothwell of Denver, Colo, got the bet
ter of the champion in less than two
rounds Of fighting. and he did 1t SO
perfectly that there was no DOUBT
about 1t. The shock to the New YORK
enthusiasts, who crowded the boxing
pavilion when the little champion was
knocked out in the second round, was
a repetition of the disappointment ex-
hibited by the adherants OF John l..
Sullivan when Jim .Corbett defeated
him at New orleans. Terry was as Mt
as the proverbial fiddle. but he was
not fast enough for his man. From
the word Ego" the lads went at each
other like game cocks and it looked as
IL either would go out in the first round.
McCOycrn Got the "orss
o the opening round and in his en-
deayor TO get in left himself open sew
aral times. Corbett stood Off McGoVerh
on every lead and tack, but the httie
Brooklyn boy was in as II there was

( downfall seemed to take the stamina
out of McGovern, but he fought tiic
round in clever style and held OH the
defeat which seemed to have set III
against him. He continued his rush-
ing tactics which proved so effective on
former occasions, but Corbett met mn
and countered hard on neck, jaw ana
head. When Terry came back 10 ms
