AN INDIAN BOXER
Fights With the Gloves, and is q
Clever Bag Puncher.

New York, Feb. Skid Whirlwind,"
a full-blooded Indian from the Indian
Territory, is the latest acquisition to the
lighting fraternity in this city. The red
boy came here with the intention of as
sisting Terry McGOvern in his prepara-
ton for the coming mill with Dave Sui
livan or to secure match with some
good feather weight The injury to
McGovern's nose, however, prevented
the redsl1in from showing New Workers
just how clever he is with the padded
gloves. kid Whirlwind," or Wha-Ket-
Zee-Chue-Zu-Me, is certainly class A
bag puncher. His handling of the bag
is clean cut and his intricate move
ments exceptionally clever. Like all of
his blood, exercise arouses him to a high
sense of excitement. When in action
his eyes blaze and his arms move with
lightning rapidity. and the movement of
the bag can hardly be followed by the
human eye. He is said to fight in the
same way, and is well named the Whirl-
wind. The Kid is an all-around athlete
and gymnast of no mean ability. Billy
Wood, the owner of the we'll known
gymnasium here which bears his name.
has seen the Indian go through many
lines of athletics, and proclaims him a
marvel The Whirlwind will go west
within a few days to get on match
there.

GUARDING HIS NOSE
Terry Afraid of Being Hit on Member
by Sullivan.

Cincinnati, o., Feb. 5.-For the next
week Terry McGovern viii spend no mt
tie time in practicing tricks to avoid
being hit on his nose when ne meets
Dave Sullivan. He has begun TO put
into use some of the blocks and guards
which he hopes to have perfected long
before the time for the nght 70 tane
place. All of his sparring partners nave
been asked to do great deal OF
leading for the nose, always, however
in a light manner, and when he sees a
blow coming he will try to get out OF
the way of it. This is not what Terry
used to do. There was a time-not so
very long ago-when he would take a
blow willingly to be able to land one In
return.
The fact that McGovern takes such
precautions means that he fears blow
on that member and that he viii not
dare to fight in his old style when ne
goes into the ring at Louisville on Feb
ruary %. 1t seems evident that ne pro-
poses to make a defensive fight, some
thing which he has never done before
and something which even his admirers
doubt he can do. The very fact that
McGovern proposes to guard against a
blow on the nose will compel him to
leave other parts of his body open for
punishment, and this fact should great
ly increase Sullivan's chances for vic
tory.
BY the time he fights Sullivan his nose
will be healed, but it will not be strong
and should Sullivan land a blow there
it might result in his gaining victory
which he could otherwise hardly ex-
pect. McGovern has never been con
sidered a clever sparrer, and this he VIII
have to be to protect his nose.
The training party was up bright ano
early yesterday and, led by Terry, Wis
tied the Oakley track, across the roao
from his training quarters A walk OF
several miles was taken, and then Terry
repaired to his gymnasium, where the
bells and punching bag were used
Manager Sam Harris received wore
yesterday that the officials of the Louis
VILE club before which McGovern anC
Sullivan are to fight, want conference
with him Harris left this morning.
1.-The object of my visit to Louisville,
said he will be to see if it is possible
to change the date of the fight. be
iieve that it would be a good thing tt
give it February % instead of F'ebruar!
