In Fifth Round.
Little California Wonder Easily

Aurellia Was Always at the
Mercy Of Terry.
BEFORE 5000 CROWD.
A Fast Preliminary Between
DOugherty and McFadden.

San Francisco, May 30--Terry Nc
Govern had an easy victory over Au-
rellia Herrera last night at Mechanics
pavilion There was not time at any
stage of the game when McGovern did
not have the ambitious aspirant for
the championship honors at his mercy
and from disinterested standpoint it
looked very much as if he allowed
Herrera to stay four rounds and then
put him out early in the fifth. While
McGovern rained blows on his man at
all times it was not until the beginning
OF the fifth that he put his strength and
weight behind them. The end came
quickly after that, as at the first lead
of a right and left on the jaw Herrera
went down for the count. He came up
gamely only to go down again. The
last time he was unable to get on his
feet at the end of the count and was
declared out.
The preliminary between Danny
Dougherty and Kid McFadden was a
rafting contest. The men We're at it
from the start to the finish and the de-
cision went to DOugherty OF his clever
ness. McFadden did the forcing all
through. but was met at every step with
a stiff left jab on the face and hard
rights on the body. McFadden fought
fierceIy in the last round and sent
Dougherty to his knees with a right
just as the gong ended the fight
The crowd was one of the biggest
that ever assembled at the pavilion,
estin ated at between 1000 and 5000.
Referee Wand gave satisfaction as ref
cree.

Boston. May 20.-The eyes Of the Bos-

ed that Boston will secure this player.
He belongs to the Worcester club, and
Boston has made several efforts for
him, but thus far in vain. 1t is thought
weak both in the in and outfields. The
injuries to Kittredge, Lowe and Crolius
have done tremendous damage to the
club. and the substitutes have come far
from giving satisfaction. In left field.
Brown, mere tyro. has been placed,
while Gammons has been stationed on
third, a position that needs a very
strong player Rickert would make
the outfield strong, while a. fast young
infielder would help the infield- It is

New York, May 3O.-Andrew Freed

clubs that the giants viii not be al

he intimates that the league viii have to

If Freedman is turned down the New

Nash is ordered to umpire, the league

that he is wrong in trying to force

In a nutshell, the National League is
up against a proposition Of being put in
a hole by Freedman or of turning down

magnates know now how it will come

to arrange matters. Freedman's abso-
