championship in the fight. and Corbett
will go on enjoying the fruits of victory.
| But it will tell the fans" something
about Terry.
| Govern was defeated or IL McGovern
| was without a defeat. he would be count
ed to win in a walk over Sullivan. The
latters record does not place him in
the same class with Terry beyond the
fact that Sullivan is a tough fellow and
rough fighter.
1t was the give-and-take style that
finally put Terry to the floor and on this
figuring Sullivan must be given, chance
to do what Corbett accomplished. Nc
Govern has his work cut out for him. To
establish himself strongly as the victim
Of tough luck against Corbett. he will
have to whip Sullivan in jig time. If the
fight wavers in sullivan's favor at any
stage there will be the old cry: 1T isn't
so hard to hit Terry" If he fails to win
decisively within the limit, it will be said
that McGovern has gone back If he
draws or loses to Sullivan Terry Will
be no longer terrible"
Both men are training hard-McGovern
at Cincinnati and Sullivan at Louisville.
1t would mean a great deal to Sullivan to
win. The reports from the training quar-
| tiers are favorable to the conditions Of
both. There has been talk of new punches
such as, "landslides" and "nutmegs." but
these are simply amusements connected
| with the work of training. New blows are
| scarce these days when it comes to fight
| ing. They are like Ruhlin's scissors"
punch which never got chance to OPP
| crate.
Sullivan and McGovern will probably do
straight fast fighting while they are at
| it, and IL McCiovern is himself there will
| be no time to rest except beween the
rounds. Terry isn't built for slow fight
| ing.
Naturally McGovern is the favorite, al
| though there has not been enough money
laid to settle the odds Probably good
| ly percentage of fight followers would
| be glad to see the Brooklyn whirlwind
| again in his place at the top of the col
umn. but he win have to fight his way
there like any other ordinary fighter.
Young Corbett may not be popular
| champion, because of the defeats he has
sustained, but he whipped Terry in a
| fight on its merits, and the rule Of fights
| is that the best man wins.
Added interest will be taken in the fight
| from the fact that Fitzsmmons will act
as referee. fight followers being anxious
to get peep at the lanky Cornishman
who will fight Jeffries next May. Fol-
