Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 2s.-Knocked out in the second round, of which only one minutes and forty-four seconds had elapsed. was the referees verdict in the fistic battle between Young Corbett of Denver and Terry McGov- ern, who has held the featherweight championship unfiinchingly since he won it from George Dixon, eighteen months ago. Outwitted and outpointed with fighter just the same as himself. McGovern had to lower his colors this afternoon at the Nutmeg Athletic club to Young Corbett within six min- utes from the start of the fight.
 Young Corbett who. outside of ring parlance is Billy Rothwell, got the bet ter of the champion in less than two rounds of fighting. and he did it so perfectly that there was no doubt about 1t. The shock to ths 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 adherents of John l.. Sullivan when Corbett defeated him.
 Terry was as fit as the proverbial fiddle, but he was not fast enough for his man. From the word "Go," the men went at each other like game cocks, and it looked as if either would go out in the first round. McGovern got the worst of the opening round aud in his endeavor to get in, left himself open several times. Corbett stood off McGovern in every lead and trick, but the little Brooklyn boy went on as if there was nothing to it but the win ner's end of the purse.
 When McGovern was knocked down in the opening round there were cries of disTay from his Dacxers, but his wonderful recuperative powers were equal to the occasion, and he was on his feet within seven seconds. This downfall seemed to take the stamina out of McGovern, but he fought the round in clever style and tried hard to stem the tide of defeat which seemed to have set against him. He tried all his rushing work, which proved so profitable on former occasions, but Cor bett met his every curve and coun- tered hard on the neck, jaw and head
 When Terry came back to his corner at the end of the first round, be said: That's the toughest guy I ever met. but I'll lick him just as soon as I see an opening
 The opening did not come very hand fly for the New York boy, as the little Denver puglist had then taken his measure. Down went Terry again in the second round. and when he got up quickly he rushed like a wild man. He showed a lack of self-restraint, and in a burst of bad temper hit out left and right, irrespective of all rules and usag ges.
 These tactics were apparently just what Corbett was looking for-Terry was mixing things up at whirlwind velocity and throwing science to the winds. It was anyone's fight at this stage, but Terry fell into a trap. Cor bett feinted and after a rattling ex- change, sent his right over to the jaw and Terry went down and out. While the fallen champion was frantically trying to regain his feet the crowd yelled madly. The referee declared that Young Corbett had won. He won on his merits, as he took no chances.
 After the fight an offer of s10.000 was made by the Twentieth Century club of San Francisco. for another fight be- tween McGovern and Corbett. Me Govern accepted.
