AURELIA HERRERA NOT IN IT
WITH M'GOvERN.
EASY VICTORY FOR TERRY
Dougherty Gets Decision Over Nc
Fadden in the Prelimi-
nary Contest.

San Francisco, May 29.-Terry Nc
Govern had an easy victory over Aur-
pavilion. There vas never a time at
any stage of the game when McGov-
ern did not have the ambitious aspir-
ant for championship honors at his
mercy, and from a 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 McGoyern rained blows
on his man at all times, it was not
until the beginning of the fifth round
| that he put his strength and weight
behind them. The end came quickly
after that, as at the first lead of the
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.
