Tommy Feltz Whips Clarence
 Forbes-Eddie Connolly on English
 Boxing-Hughey Murphy Got the
 Decision From Billy Maynard-Ter-
 ry McGovern Now Recuperating.
 St Louis, June 5.-In the eleventh round of one of the fastest fights ever seen in St Louis, Tommy Feltz of Sa- vannah, Ga, last night got the decision over Clarence Forbes of Chicago. The referee, Harry Sharp, stopped the fight in the middle of the round, as Forbes was ill distress. Feltz was on the az gressive throughout the entire fight, barring the eighth round, in which Forbes attempted to rush matters, but Feltz took all the punishment and came back so strong that Forbes was very groggy at the bell tap. Two six-round bouts preceded the main event. In the first of these Young Kid Mccoy of Pittsburg knocked out Billy Trueman of Brooklyn, N. Y., in the first round. In the second Nick Santora of Chicago got the decision over Cooney Kelley of Streator, Ill. in six very fast rounds.
 Eddie Connolly, the welterweight, is back from England. Connolly says that boxing over on the other side has been ruined by the English lighters agreeing to fight for the small purses hung up by the National Sporting club and other clubs of England. Connolly, besides being fairly good boxer, is a bit of a wit. He was engaged in twenty-five round affair, with Matty Matthews in the ring of the Broadway Athletic club when that institution held sway. A fight occurred between two spectators up in the bleachers. Cap tain Chapman and his blue braves rushed up to referee it. Connolly and Matthews stopped their part of the en- tertainment and stood leaning, side by side, on the ropes watching the storm ing of the heights by Chapman's cohorts. Charley White, who was the middle man in the ring, sung out: Here, you fellows, get together Never mind that other scrap" As Connolly turned to renew hostilities with Matthews he said: What funny place to start a fight in!'
 The two big colored heavyweights, Denver Ed Martin and Bob Arm strong, are to have another encounter In the squared circle. They are matched to try conclusions in a ten- round bout before the Tammany A. O. of Boston on June 9. The last time these men met was in a six-round bout in Philad delphia. The fight was one of the most vicious ever witnessed be tween big men. Knockdowns were scored by both men, and when the bout terminated they could hardly walk to their corners. They will fight at catch weights.
 Tommy Ryan, the middlewight cham pion of the world, who has not fought in almost four months, engaged in an- other fight in the west last week, and won, as usual. The fight was brought off at Battle Creek, Mich, and Ryan's opponent was James Walker, said to be the champion heavyweight of Mich igan. Walker did not last long with Ryan, for after Tommy had punished lltm severely about the body and face he finished him in the fifth round with a ring swing on the jaw.
 Terry McGovern, who was forced to abandon his proposed match with Abe Attell owing to an attack of malaria, has gone to Sullivan county, N. Y., where Manager Harris has decided to send him to recuperate. The former featherWeight champion, according to his manager, is completely run down physically. and he will not be allowed to resume training for eight or ten weeks. By declaring off his battle with Attell, which was to have taken place at Fort Erie on June 15, Harris forfeits over $1, ,50O. Harris denies | that McGovern's days as fighter are over. He says that the little Brooklyn | ite still has many good fights in him, | and that he will prove this when he has recovered from his present illness.
 Boston, June 5.-Hughey Murphy got the decision over Billy Maynard of Philadelphia before the Tammany club here last night. The boys fought twelve rounds and weighed in under l the featherweight limit, 122 pounds | There was goodly crowd present when the lads clamb cred under the ropes and the usual preliminary pow wow that obtains before a seance o1 this kind was gone through with Johnny Mack, Murphy's manager was in his mans corner, and Tom Carey looked after the sponge bottle anG things for Maynard. They began eau tiously. each sizing the other up, bu in the second round they cut loose. and from then to the bell at the end of the twelfth 1t was ding dong from the time they came out until they took their cor hers. Maynard, who has been fighting fin many of the six-round Philadelphia affairs, was very fast in the early rounds but tired after the seventh, un der the joIting tabs and hooks of the New Yorker. Murphy was the strong CT throughout and used a right cross that told. He did most of the leading and this gave him the verdict.
