McUOvern Discusses COrbett-
Britt Match at Frisco.
Thinks the California Lad VIII
Make Champion Hustle.
ONF OF THE BEST GOING
Terry Once Predicted Britt
Would Be at the Top.
Satisfied That the Bout Will Be
a Rattling Good One.

New York, Jan. 25.-Terry McGovern
has evidently recovered from his tenn
porary insanity, during which spell he
wanted third match with Young Cor
bett, and the ex-champion is coming
out nobly now and talking of the next
big fight on the coast. McGovern has
praise for both Young Corbett and Jim
my Britt, and he really makes the pro-
posed fight look better than even the
managers have so far. Terry says:
The proposed battle between Young
Corbett and Jimmy Britt, which takes
place in San Francisco, March II, will
be a fight worth a good journey to see
1 know both fighters. 1 have boxed
with both of them, and I predict a
grand struggle before the honors are
decided
of course Corbett is well known in
the east, but to nearly all of us, Jimmy
Britt is an absolute stranger. The
sports here only knows him by his
clever performances, nearly all of
which have taken place on the Pacific
coast
IN Britt ] think we have one of the
greatest fighters of his weight that has
ever put on gloves. He is one of those
fellows who is always improving, and
with additional weight he always finds
himself able to take care of his OPP
ponents.
L have been impressed with Britt
ever since the first time saw him. That
was about two years ago, when l was
in San Francisco to meet Herrera. AT
that time Britt was only an amateur,
but his clever and successful style won
him many admirers, and he was looked
upon as a conner.
Il heard considerable about him, so
1 decided to try him out, and invited
him out to my training quarters. He
put on the gloves, and we had a few
lively rounds, which seemed to please
everybody present. I at once saw that
he was a real fighter, far above the
average. l thought to myself that he
was a conner, and 1 predicted to my
friends that he was a champion and
would some day beat all Corners.
Besides being a clever boxer, Britt
