McGOVERN WINS.
Knocks Out Billy Maynard in Fourth
Round at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Feb. 25.-At the Penn Art
Club, tonight, 1900 people saw Terry Nc
Govern, the former featherweight cham
pion, defeat Billy Maynard of this city,
in what was to have been a sx-round
contest. Maynard was knocked out in the
fourth round after receiving severe pun
ishment. McGovern adopted his usual
rushing tactics, scoring knockdowns in
the first and third rounds, Maynard being
on his knees when the gong sounded at
the end of the third.
The local man made his best showing
in the second round, holding his own in
several exchanges. McGovern never let
up in his rushes, however, and gradually
wore his man down with terrific body
blows A right hand blow on the jaw
early in the fourth round sent Maynard
to the floor and he was counted out.
