 FOI," Says Terry CORBETT SURE OF 4 VICTORY
Is No Doubt About the Ceanness of knockout-New York Enthusi- asts of the ex-champion
 Disappointed.

l Hartford November 2S-Outwitted and outpointed by fighter of the same style as himself. Terry McGovern was knocked out this afternoon at the Nutmeg Ath- letic Club by "Young Corbett within six minutes of the start of the fight. The end came after minute and forty-four seconds of the second round had elapsed. Young Corbett" who. outside of ring parlance, is known Billy Rothwell of Denver Col, not only defeated the cham pion in less than two rounds of fighting, but he did 1t so perfectly that there was no doubt about the cleanness of his vic 1 tory. The shock to the New York en- thusiasts who crowded the boxing pavil- ion when the little champion was knocked out, was a repetition of the disappoint- ment exhibited by the adherents of John L. Sullivan when Corbett defeated him in New Orleans. Terry was as fit as the proverbial fiddle, but he was not fast enough for his man. From the start the lads went at each other like game cocks. l and it looked as if either might go out in the first round. McGovern got the worst of the opening round and in his endeavor to get in, left himself open several times. Corbett stood off McGovern on every lead and try, but the little boy went on as If there were nothing to it but the winners end of the purse.
 Floored in the First Round.
 When McGovern was knocked down In the opening round there were cries of dis may from his packers, but his wonder ful recuperative powers were equal to the occasion and he was on his feet within seven seconds.
 This downfall seemed to take the stamina out of McGovern. but he fought hard to avoid the defeat which seemed in store for him. He tried with his rush. ing work, which had proved so profita- l ble on former occasions, but Corbett met | him every time and countered hard on neck, jaw and head. When Terry came back to his corner at the end of the first | round he said:
 That's the toughest guy I ever met, but I'll lick him just as soon as I see | an opening"
 But that opening never came. Terry l went down again in the second round but l he got up quickly and rushed at Cor l bett like wildman. He showed a lack of self-restraint and in a burst of bad temper hit out right and left irrespective | of all rules and usages. These tactics | apparently were Just what Corbett was looking for. Terry was mixing things up | with whirlwind velocity and throwing science to the winds. It was anyone's | fight at this stage but Terry fell into trap as Corbett feinted and suddenly sent his right out, when McGovern was side stepping This blow just grazed McGov- erns head but a moment later Corbett feinted him again and after a rattling exchange sent his right over to the jaw 1 and Terry went down and out
 Crowd Yelled MadIy.
 While the fallen champion was frantic ally trying to regain his feet the crowd yelled madly.
 The referee decided that the young Denver lad had won. He won on his merits, too, as he took chance for chance. Terry was crestfallen after he returned to his dressing room. He said
 Well. you can't tell how things can be accounted for. hope 10 make another match with Corbett, and am more than confident that he will not be able to put 1t over me again.
 Young Corbett, when he emerged from his dressing room, was reluctant to talk, but finally said:
 T was sure could beat McGovern, and my opinion was based on what had seen and heard of him. felt that I had him | from the first punch. but was cool-head- ed all through. When I began to sting him he lost his head, and when he lost his head it was all over. had him right there and with a right swinging upper cut l landed the blow which won the battle"
 Young Corbett" will remain here for some days.
