Young Cor bett and Sam Harris walked across the ring and snatched the glove ana salu. NO breaking of gloves here. This ended the little dispute. Corbett don ned the gloves. McGovern had his mitts on during this squabble and laughed while it was going on. McGovern wore pink coIored tights, surmounted by his old belt of red, while Corbett appeared In black trunks and band.

 The Fatal Second.
 Round 2-McGovern rushed in with g left to the body and the men clinched. :. A rapid exchange of rights and lefts fol- lowed. Corbett was on the defensive and met his rushes with straight left jabs. Suddenly he brought up his left. upper cutting McGovern and sending him to the floor. McGovern took five seconds Of the count and came back like wild man with left and right swings. Science was thrown to the winds and the boys began slugging. McGovern was very Wllu anu they IilduC U Hdi1NiTCAC OA tiC ring, fighting in this manner. At this stage 1t looked like anybody's light should one of the vicious swinging blows land. While Ccrbett kept hls head and seemed to bore in better, his body blows were apparently no stiffer than those of his opponent. However. he kept on forcing McGovern half across the right and finally Terry forgot his defense. He simply saw hurricane of blows coming toward him and there was no guarding on his part. Suddenly a right, swinging uppercut landed squarely on the point of his jaw and McGovern went down and out. He was not rendered unconscious, but it was evident to all present that he knew the championship had taken wings. as he made wild efforts to regain his feet. Referee White called of ten seconds. while McGovern vallently struggled. Cor bett stepped back in obedience to the referee's gesture, although he evidently was in- doubt as to his fallen opponents condition. McGovern had given him such a gruelling argutnent that he was for the moment dubious as to whether the Brooklyn boy might not be able to come up again and renew the battle. But it was all over and the new cham pion was in his dressing room receiving congratulations while McGovern was wondering how 1t all happened.

 Walcott Got Decision.
 Baltimore, Nov. 2&-Joe Walcott got the decision over Young Peter Jackson tonight after twenty rounds of perhaps the fiercest fighting ever seen in this city. Most of 1t was done by Walcott, Jackson being on the defensive from start to finish. When the men entered the ring after three rattling preliminartes Jackson stood fully three inches above Waicott, but lacked his sturdy build Walcott sailed in from the very first with the evident intentention of finishing his man as soon as possible and between laughs and jokes with the spectators at the ringside rained blow after blow upon the Californian. One round was merely a repetition of the other until the sixth, Walcott doing all the leading and Jack son defending himself as well as he could. In this round Walcott sent three hard jabs to the wind and got a stiff one in the mouth in return. In the eighth Jackson managed to get in good jab on the face. but Walcott pounded him. SO hard over the heart and kidneys that he soon had him groggy. The gong saved Jackson. who came up a little bit stronger in the next round. but with his right eye completely closed and the blood flowing in streams from his left ear.
 The Californian took his gruelling with remarkable gameness until the fifteenth round, when Joe sailed in, and after punching him all over the ring. unin- tentionally tripped him so that Peter lay on his back near the ropes. The chief of police then interfered and ordered the fight to stop, to which decision Peter protested so vigorously that the chief re- tented and permitted the pounding to continue. Five more runds of the same kind of work ensued. Walcott doing all the leading and hitting, while Jackson, with the exception of a few feeble retalia- tions, did nothing but defend himself and try to keep on his feet.
