 Terry NIcGovern, the master of champions, has in the past depended on blows that have been used Dy the experts of the days gone by. With these he has toppled over the best men in the bantam. featherweight and lightweight divisions. Palmer, Dixon and Erne all succumlJed, not to speak of q score of other ambitious young sters. McGoyern, however, is thor- oughly LID to date, and in preparation for his bout with ''Young Corbett'' htls invented an entirely new method of attack.
 What do you call your new blow?" was asked, i'll the midst of his training at Johnson's road house yesterday af- ternoon.
 T call it the Hoop the loop'' he re- piled
 And how does it work?" he was asked.
 ..Well." said the champion, it is this way: I hit the other fellow and Ee loops the loop.'
 When John Flanagan. the hammer thrower. who visited McGovern's train ing quarters yesterday, heard that, ne said it amused him more than anything since he last broke the sixteen-pound hammer record
 T.[ :.l Iox~ yAe%a sIrz~ The reason is that the champion has the first black eye of his career in the twenty-four foot ring. Furthermore, he got it in training. He was boxing with novice. and the latter stuck his thumb into the champions left optic It is black and blue. and the Brooklyn Whirlwind is the most worried man in Westchester.
 When McGoyern heard that Corbett had been mixed up in an automobile accident the champion said:
 That's good practice for him. He is to face me on Thanksgiving day, and I would suggest that. he attempt to stop the Boston express a few times. That will be better. He needs good strong work in preparation McGovern wrestled, skipped the rope and buffeted the punching bag. He showed the same energy and speed he exhibited when training for Palmer Dixon and Erne. Under the shower bath his skin was pink, and he had the same lightning like abruptness of movement that has astonished and dis concerted so many opponents.
 T hear," said he s.that Young Cor bett' is fast, strong and hits knockouts with either hand. That is very good news. I have fought with so many men reported to be good hitters. who have not put a glove, on me. have become rather skeptical. It would be l q novelty to get good .whack on the 1 jaw. I shall look for the thump with much interest"
 Young Morell of San Francisco. who appears to be about--40 years of age. and weighs 190 pounds, called at the training quarters yesterday and said he wanted the champion to try him ont. Morell said he once spared with | Fitzsimmons and lad twice been knocked out by Mccoy.
