HARTFORD, CONN, Nov. 2S.-knocked
out in the second round, of which one min
ute and forty-four seconds had elapsed,
was the referees verdict of the fistic bat
tie between young Corbett, OF Denver,
Col, and Terry McGovcrn, of Brooklyn,
who has held the featherweight cham
pionship unflinchingly since he won it
from George Dixon eighteen months ago.
young Corbett,'' who, outside Of ring
parlance, is known as Billy Rothweil. ol
Denver, Colorado, got the better of the
champion in less than Two rounds ot
lighting, and he did it SO perfectly that
there was no doubt about It,
The shock to the New York enthusiasts
who crowded the boxing pavilion when
the little champion was Knocked out III
the second round was Il repetition of the
Disappointment exhibited by the adl.erents
of John L. Sullivan when Coroett oeleal-
ed him in New Orleans.
FIT AS a FIDDLE.
Terry was as fit as the proverbial I'D
die. but lie was not fast enough lor MS
man. Corbett stood off McGoVern on
every lead and trick. When McGoFern
was Knocked down in the opening round

ers, but his wonderful recuperative POW
ers were equal to the occasion, and ne
was on his feet i'll seven seconds.
However, this downfall seemed to take
the stamina out of McGoVern, put ne

KNOCKOUT BLOW.
Down went Terry again III the second
round, and when he got uD quick ne
rushed like a wild man. He showed
lack of seIf-restraint, and in burst or
bad temper hit out left and right, ire
spective of. all rules and usages. These
tactics were just what Corbett appar-
entity was looking for. Terry was warm
ing things up with whirlwind velocity
and throwing science to the WINDS.
