THE PUGILISTS.
KID BROAD
 WAS WHIPPED
Kid Sullivan Hammers Him and Terry hcCovern Threw up the Sponge Cotch Can Fight a Bit.

Baltimore, Feb 11-Terry McGovern threw up the sponge in the tenth round last night, after his friend, Kid Broad of Cleveland, had been beaten almost to a pulp by Kid Sullivan of Wash ington.
 The bout was scheduled for fifteen rounds, and both men weighed in un- der 13O pounds at 3 o'clock in the af- ternoon. There was big crowd at Al HerfOrd's Eureka club to see the fight. Many were turned away. There was delegation of five hun dred from Washington loaded down with money to bet on Sullivan, but it found few takers. Terry McGovern, who is playing here at Blaney's theater, appeared just before the Broad-Sullivan fight went on. and was given a rousing reception. McGOvern sat in Broad's corner, al- though not one of the Cleveland fight CTS seconds.
 After throwing q towel into the ring and terminating the battle, McGOvern whispered to a correspondent of The Morning Telegraph:
 T had no right to do that, but why let man be slowly mauled to death when he has no chance to win?"
 McGovern's action was generally commended. as Broad was beatt> be- yond doubt. Both eyes were pufted up, he was bleeding from the nose and mouth, and part of the inner side of his upper lip hung out. He was so weak he could scarcely stand. and a few moments wore would have seen him down and out for good.
 Kid Sullivan was without mark. and his fight stamped him as unquos- tionably possessed of the stuff of which a champion may be made with experience.
 It was Sullivan's ball from start to finish.
 Nothing was done in the first round by either man. In the second, while no telling blows were attempted, Sul- livan's shiftiness showed him to ad- vantage. .s--. ...
 Sullivan took lead in the third. when he drew blood from Broad's nose with left jab. Sullivan mapped his battle then and there, and to the finish he iabbed with his left, to the face. and then planted the right hard to Broad's body.
 Broad looked q little winded. but came up fresh for the third and missed two right swings for knockOuts. Sul- livan was too shifty and again began his left jabs and started the. blood from uBrOad's nose. Broad came back with stiff rights to the body. and the round was only slightly in Sullivan's favor.
 Sullivan rushed Broad to the ropes in the fourth round. The left jabs to the face and swift drives to the body hurt Broad. He was game as a peb- ble. although more lefts to the face cut his lips to ribbons on the inside.
 At the end of the fifth round Broad was sight. Blood flowed from his nose and mouth and his whole face was putfed up.
 As he sprang up for the sixth Al McMurray told him to take a chance. He started in with q rush. but Sulli- van slowed him up with q blow in the stomach and then repeated the left jabs to the face and rights to body.
 At the gong Broad was all but in.
 Sullivan continued his left jabs and body smashes through the seventh. eighth and ninth rounds. Broad was tumbled through the ropes. and in the tenth round left to the jaw put him down for nine.
 When he did get up hc could just about hang on. and his friend. Terry McGovern. flung q towel into the ring.
 Terry was accompanied by his brother Hughey and Manager Sam Harris. who said Terry was prepared to fight Britt or Nelson after his the atrical engagements. but that he barred Young Corbett.
