 MGOvERN AND HIS MANAGER.
 From the remarks dropped by Sam Harris, manager of Terry McGoyern, in the presence of a number of horse men and sports on the Brooklyn speedway yesterday afternoon, 1t ap- pears that there is trouble brewing be- tween McGovern and his manager and that the two will soon go different ways Harris does not fancy the way McGovern is handling himself, and says that unless he takes better care of himself. he will quit him. 1t is no secret that since his defeat by Young Corbett on Thanksgiving day McGovern has not given his health and condition the best of care. Me Govern is fat and his skin has not the healthful glow of a cnditinal athlete. Harris, who has been diScOnsolate since McGoveHn was dethrOned by Young Corbett. said: Terry will have to leave fast horses alone, or else will quit him. No athlete can stick to horses and enjoy himself and keep ill trim" Harris was emphatic and inn pressed his hearers that he meant every word he said. AIcGOyern is now matched to meet Dave Sullivan on January 90, and bids for the fray are to be opened on December u. Ac- cording to all accounts McGovern by this time was to have begun work for the mill, but it is understood ne has not exercised q bit as yet for the con- test Sullivan is labOring diligently and is said to be in excellent condi- tion. Harris and McGoyern have been together ever since McGovern became prominent as q pugiIist. It was through Harris's piloting. many sports lnInk. that McGovern was able to get to the top of the ladder Three years ago the pair signed q contract in which it was stipulated that Harris was to look out for McGovern's interests for a certain period. It is understood that the time will soon expire and that the contract will not be renewed. McGoy- ern has made money and is credited avfth heinz worth SS0 0O0
