OF the world, administered a beating to
Billy Willis, Philadelphian tonight. in
d fast and exciting six-rOund bout at

round, and succeeded in reaching the
Brooklyn boys face with singing left
hand jabs.
Terry devoted the majority of his
time to Willis body and repeatedly
chased the Philadelphia around the
ring At times McGovern was very
wild. and many Of his well-intended
blows were wasted in the air Willis
got home a couple OF hard right-hand
upDercuts on Terrys face. but was com

The local boy made his best showing
in the final round. Several dimes he
shook the Brooklyn man with wicked
right-hand uppercuts and sent his head
back with singing left-hand jabs. Terry
was very anxious TO end matters and
kept sending shower Of right and left
hand swings TO Biliy's body that made
the local boy break ground. but he was
unable to do the trick. and Willis was
strong at the end OF the sixth round.
