would come out a winner. He says that
during the three rounds the fight lasted
Mc1orcrn only landed three good blows,
two of these being the ones that finished
him. He says that he thought he was
getting along nicely when the end came.
In speaking Of the knockout he says:
'McGovern hit ma on the side of the
jaw with his left. and then handed me
an awful punch in the stomach. 1t was
this last that did for me, or practically
so. 1t looked as if Terry's first went
clean through me and his arm looked as
If it were half buried in my stomach.
At that ! can't say that l felt any par
ticular pain. | was not knocked out COM
plstely, but got to my feet again as the
referee was counting seven. Then they
stopped the fight. and 1t was proba bly,

When Kid Mccoy returned from En-
gland he announc ID that Charley Mitch
ell was coming here very shortly says
Macon. 1t was thought at the time that
thu willy Kid and the even more willy
Mitchell had cooked up a job to do the
American sporting public out of some Of
its shekels. When Mccoy remarked
and started on IL trip To the Mediterran-
can the report that Mitchell was coming
here was lost sight of. l was told yester-
day that Mitchell was really coming and
that he had sailed from Liverpool by the
White Star Line on Wednesday, and il
that is true he will be here within
week. My informant told me that Char
ley had no business in view, but was
one of the wealthiest, pugilsts alive. He
las some real estate in this city, as has
his father-in-la law, Pony Moore, and it
may be tina, his visit may have somn-
thing to do with the management of this
! property. He may also have a desire to
see Jefferies and Rubin perform, and if
they do get together in Cincinnati it is
not improbable that he may be at the
ringside to see them do their fistic stunts
! don't know if Charley has settled his
little affair with Detective John II. Nor

Mitchell. of course after his bout with
JIM cOrbett down in Florida was so
manly. and he has behaved so decently
to American visitors in London that the
! o!d-time animOsty against him, which

out as it should. There is no use in hold
ing spite forever. especially toward 4
