 him and would have lasted the rest of the round. Hardings position in count ing McGovern out was sustained by "Chalky' Roberts, another timekeeper. Paddy Sullivan, the third time keeper, was very much in favor of McGovern and contended that the count. as ac- cepted by the referee, was wrong. Ref cree Graneys decision seemed to meet with the approval of most of the spec tators, as McGovern was apparently thoroughly beaten.
 Tt was my way of winning the fight, said Young Corbett after the fight. q fought cautiously in every round and felt McGovern weakening toward the end of the contest. I caught him with a left on the jaw and sent him back against the ropes. He dropped his hand to his sides, which was sure signal to me that I had won the contest. I went for him, put rights and lefts to his jaw and was forced to fight myself free in the clinch. The final blow was a right uppercut to the jaw that put McGovern to the floor for full count.
 Even had be he able to regain his feet before the count of ten, I would have had him out, as he was absolutely un- able to defend himself At no time in the contest was I confused or discour- aged. And to say that I won the fight unfairly is great injustice to me. Mc- Govern is certainly the next best man in the world, but I still retain the cham pionship and will fight any man who ap- breaches my class. But I will not give a pound of my weight to any one. was in superb condition, and to my trainers I give credit for winning the contest"
 Tt was the greatest robbery in the history of the prize ring" said McGov-
 ern. 1T had Corbett beaten from the start to finish. I landed on him when
 and where I pleased, and surely would have had him out within few rounds I was not knocked out, but admit that the :uppercut to the chin dazed me and took the count in order to save myself I would have gone on with the battle
 and would, think, have regained the championship. I guess 1t is all up with
 a fighter when he goes in, wins a contest
  sincerely hope that some club will
 match us again and then you will hear a different story"
