M'GOVERN BREAKS DOWN.
Suffering From Nervous Collapse at
Hot Springs.

Terry McGovern of Brooklyn, one time the
greatest little fighter of his inches in the
world, is down and out. He will never again
be able to answer the bell calling him to
battle. Terrible Terry, as the little fighter
was dubbed when he was moving down
opponent after opponent, Is nervous
wreck. He was sent to Hot Springs, Ark.
last week for rest. suffering from nervous
prostration, and SO bad is his condition
that he will be taken from there to New
York and be placed in santarium for
treatment. 1t is said to be improbable that
he will ever be the man he was, either
physically or mentally.
State Senator Tim Sullivan of New York.
who has been at Hot Springs for several
weeks, has taken McGovern in charge and
will take him to New York.
The collapse of the Brooklyn boxer, who
had been touring the country in a show
of his own, came as great surprise to the
sporting world, for 1t was thought Nc
Govern was too rugged to be hurt by any
nervous strain.
The nervous breakdown of the little man
is traced to the time he lost the worlds
featherweight championship to Young Cor
bett, nearly five years ago. From that
Thanksgiving day when he was given his
first defeat before a record crowd Of his
friends at Hartford to the present time
McGovern has never got over the sting and
disgrace of being defeated.

fighting in Brooklyn, where he was born,

pitted against him until he met Young Cor

"PA" DAILY FINED.
Costs the Veteran $500 for IIl-Treat-
ing Jockey Henning.

On complaint of an apprentice named
Henning, W.. c. DAILY was fined $500 by
the stewards of the meeting yesterday for
beating the lad, who is not more than
fourteen years old.
When the boy complained to the stewards
they instructed DR.. Kerr to examine the
nature and extent of the punishment in
f1icted. On the report Of the physician the
fine was imposed.
1t Is not the first time in Days turf ca
reer that similar complaints have been
made against him. Once before this F. r.
Hitchcock, acting as a steward. inflicted
fine of the same amount on him.
Henning Is an orphan and apprenticed
to Daily until he is twenty-one years old.
The stewards were Informed Of the boy
sufferings and then sent the physician, DR..
Kerr. who reported that he bore marks Of
severe punishment, and 1t was upon this
that the stewards, s. s. Rowland, Samuel
Ross. and F. L. Huidekoper, took the ac-
ton. They also took steps to release the
boy from Daily, who said last night that
he Is willing to let him go, because he is a
source of much trouble to him.
1t was common talk at the track that
the boy suffered during Sunday night, and
that this induced one of his associates in
the stable to urge him to go before the
stewards.

TENNIS FINALS.
Miss Sears and Robert Wrenn Won at
Mixed Doubles.

Mixed Doubles.
Miss Elinora Sears and Robert r. Wrenn
defeated Miss Marion Fenno and George l..
Wrenn, jr., yesterday in the final of the
mixed doubles In the indoor lawn tennis
tournament in progress at the ST. Nicholas
rink, New York. After losing the first set
the eventual winners reeled of the next
two sets.
The match was witnessed by thorough
enthusiasts of the game, and every fine
rally or brilliant shot met with the ap-
plause it deserved.
The feature of the struggle was the man
ner in which each Boston girl outshone
her partner. Robert Wrenn's service was
unreliable and uncertain, while that OF
his brother was woful at times, and never
unplayable. On the other hand, Miss Sears,
after the first set, invariably saw her side
score when she served, while occasionally
Miss Fennos delivery was such that her
antagonists never attempted to reach the
ball. Both girls brought down the house
by their judicious lobbing. while Miss Sears
contributed greatly to the success of her
side by her placing and vicious smashes.
In the first set Miss Sears, as usual,
played decidedly below her game, and as
her partner failed to rise to the occasion.
the scorer called So in their opponents
favor. George Wrenn lost the next game
by his poor service, and his brother Rob-
ert followed suit in the next game and lost
the set Ga.
Continuing the second set, Miss Sears
came out in her true colors and placed
different complexion affairs. Rallies
were sharp and keen and she was invari-
ably the heroine. The set was won by
Miss Sears and Robert Wrenn by to 4.
In the third set the Wrenn brothers
served badly, but Miss Sears, fairly on her
mettle, saw the set carried to "Four-love"
in her sides favor. 1t then went to 81
and So, but in the eight and last games
Miss Sears service settled the question
and the match. The summary:
Mixed Doubles. - Final - Miss Eenora
Sears and Robert d. Wrenn beat Miss Ma

Base Ball Notes,

Keller is leading the New York Ameri-
cans in hitting this spring. Dougherty has
not done very good hitting since Joining the
Highlanders.
Comiskey says he has not been after
Harry Gleason. He says: Il had one dose
of Gleason when Boston gave him to me,
and | do not want another"
Jack Powell has been having some fun
with the batters by starting pitching with
his right hand and then throwing with the
left
Joe Kelly is still suffering from his left
shoulder, and as it has not improved much
since practice work, he is starting to feel
worried.
Dundon of the White Sox is reported as
recovering rapidly from an operation that
was performed on him recently and 1t Is
expected he will be back in the game this
week.
st. Louis followers Of the game are not
yearning for Jake Beckley. They like Mike
Grady better as a first baseman.
Mike Lynch, the Pittsburg pitcher. ex-
poets to be a lawyer some day and puts In
all his spare time in studying Blackstone.
He plays with the judgment Of McPhee
description Of his crack little second base
man, Johnny Evers.
The way that Harry Davis and Lave
Cross are hitting the ball should cause the
nightmare.
Jesse Burkett will start the season as the
Boston champions regular left fielder. Sell
bach will be stationed in right and Buck
Freeman will be held for utility roles
Fielder Jones has refused to play the Chi
cago University ball team this week as he
claims that his players need the last few
days to practice the closer plays
The hit and run game has not been much
in evidence this spring with the big teams
John Heydler, President Puiliam's secre-
tary, thinks 1t will be passed by to large
extent this season for the sacrifice hit
method of advancement.
"If Addie Joss is the human Stat then
Pitcher Sallee of the Birmingham club is
the human hat PIN says H. P. Edwards
of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Joss is twice
as broad as Sallee.
Hickman Is to be given a try-out in the
right field by Detroit instead of at first
base, but there seems to be some doubt
about his being kept. He is not In good
condition yet and his wrist is troubling
him considerably.
Jack OConner has reconsidered his de-
termination to retire from base ball. His
change of front was due to the fact that
the st. Louis club needs him badly and
has finally offered terms that are accept
able. He has Joined the Browns, but will
need lots of hard work before he gets down
to playing form
"Heiny'' Peitz is now regarded as a fix
ture at first base for Pittsburg. The former
ence in the position. Clancy. who was
signed to succeed Bransfield, Is proving
faint-hearted. The handicap has kept him
bobbing in and out of the big league for
three years.
Billy Lush, the Yale base ball coach, pro-
poses to settle the row in the Connecticut
League by buying the New Haven fran
chise. He is still held by the Cleveland
club but IL he purchases the New Haven
franchise he will get his release from Kill
foyl, he says, and retire from big league
base ball. He has signed q contract to
coach Yale TIL July 2.
