THE DENVER LAD Is COOL

Hartford, Conn.,. Nov. 2S.-Outwitted and out-pointed by fighter of the same style as himself. Terry McGovern was knocked out this afternoon at the Nut meg Athletic Club by Young Corbett' within six minutes from the start of the light. The end came after a minute and forty-four seconds of the second round had elapsed.
 Young Corbett" who. outside of ring parlance is known as Billy Rothweii or Denver. Col, not only defeated the cham- pion in less than two rounds of fighting, but he did it so perfectly that there was no doubt about the cleanness of his victory The shock to the New York enthusiasts who crowded the boxing pavilion when the little champion was knocked out, was a repetition of the dis appointment exhibited by the adherents of John L.. Sullivan when Corbett de- feated him in New Orleans.
 Terry was as fit as the proverbial fiddle but he was not fast enough for his man. From the start the lads went at each other like game cocks. and 1t looked as if either might go out in the first round. McGovern got the worst of the opening round and in his endeavor to get in, left himself open several times. Corbett stood off McGovern on every lead and try. but the little Brooklyn boy went on as if there was nothing to 1t but the win ner's end of the purse.
 Terry Goes to Grass.
 When McGovern was knocked down in the opening round there were cries of dis may from his packers, but hls wonderful resupsrative 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 out in clver style and tried hard to avoid the defeat which seemed in store for him. He tried his rushing work, which had proved so pro- fitabIe on former occasions, but Corbett met him every time and countered hard on neck, jaw and head When Terry came back to his corner at the end or the first round he said:
 That's the toughest guy l ever met but Pll lick him just as soon as See an opening"
 But that opening never came. Terry went down again in the second rouno' but he got up quickly and rushed at Cor bett like q wildman. He showed a lack of self-restraint and in a burst of bad temper hit out left and right irrespective of all rules and usages. These tactics apparently were just what Corbett was looking for Terry was mixing things up with whirlwind velocity and throwing science to the winds. It was any ones fight at this stage, but Terry fell into trap as Corbett feinted and suddenly sent his right out when McGovern was side stepping.
 The End of the Battle.
 This blow just grazed McGovern's head, hut A moment later Corbett feApted again and after a rattling exchange sent his right over to the Jaw ana Aerry Went down and out.
 While the fallen champion was fran tically trying to regain his feet the crowd yelled madly.
 The referee decided that the young Denver lad had won. He won on his merits, too, as he took chance for chance.
 Terry was crestfallen after he returned to his dressing room. He said:
 Well, you can't tell how things can be accounted for. 1 hope to make another match with Corbett, and l am more than confident that he will not be able to put it over me again"
 Young Corbett, when he emerged from his dressing room. was reluctant to taik but finally said:
 ..I was sure I could beat McGovern and my opinion was based on what l had seen and heard of him. l felt that l had him from the first punch. but l was cool headed all through. When began to sting him he lost his head and when he lost his head 1t was all over. l had him right there and with right swing inE uppercut 1 landed the blow which won the battle."
 Young Corbett will remain here for some days.
 Police Chief and Mayor Arrive.
 Shortly before the preliminary bout was decided, Mayor Alex Harbison entered the club house and was escorted by Chief of Police Bill to the ringside. When the Mayor was recognized. the spectators cheered him thrice over in reorganization In his fiat that the contest would be permitted in this city. A moment later Charley White. the referee. was called into the ring and suddenly jumped through the ropes in order to meet the Mayor, with whom he held a converse ton of five minutes.
 The fighting was begun with a bout between young Starr of Philadelphia and Jim Burke of New York at catch weight for fifteen rounds It was announced that Charlie White of New York would act as referee for both bouts and that Joe Dunn of New York would act as time keeper.
 In the first round of the preliminary Starr punished his opponent so badly that the referee stopped the contest after two minutes and twenty-one seconds and announced that Starr was the winner.
 Sharkey entered the ring and said he was ready to box Jeffries. Fltzsimmons then made a statement to the effect that he had defeated both Sharkey and RuhIan and had challenged Jeffrles for another go, but Jeffries, he claimed. had aunked and. said Fitzsimmons, When the champion fiunked l decided to die with the Horton law and have made up my mind to devote the remainder of my life to teaching young Americans how to defend themselves" N.
