 Fighters.
 Sitting in an upper box with E.s wife at the Majestic Thteater, Brooklyn. last night, was Terry McGovern. whose escape from the. Stamford sanitarium on Monday created something of sen sation.
 McG0vern gave no outward signs of the mental, trouble with which 1t is said he is afflicted, and apparently en- joyed Tn Dahomey" as much as any one in the audience.
 When Burt Williams sang, T May be Crazy, but Ain't No Fool" 4.4c- Govern laughed heartily and turned to his wife with some joking remark con corning the stories about himself
 After the performance the once great little fighter went at once to his home, 2O5 Eighteenth street, with Mrs McGovern. 3sst9 s 3y a Sam Harris, Terry's manager. said last night:
 T am to have good talk with Ter " tomorrow, and have no doubt that he will appreciate how much he needs . long rest and consent to return to the sanitarium at Stamford" ,"
 McGovern was at the race track early with his wife and lsother. lie sauntered about the lawn, chatting with an army of friends, and then went into the paddock, where he ex- changed greetings with esyeral jockeys including Fuller and Crimmins. Later he met Florrie Sullivan and jokingly asked him to go to the rail to have a chat. Terry then gave a signal to half a dozen photographers who had been following him about and together they snapped their cameras before sul- livan knew what was going on. Ac- cording to Sullivan, McGovern won about $1, 100 on the victory of Bantam at Aqueduct on Saturday.
 ''Terry was never known to bet more than $5 in his life," said Sullivan yes terday, "and when he went up to well known bookmaker on Saturday and asked him what price he would lay against Bantam, the boOkie said:
 Forty, ten and fourm
 .'Ill bet you twenty dollars all three ways" retorted McGovern, "as l was once bantam myself" :.
 You're on, Terry" laughed the bookmaker, thinking that McGovern was not quite himself, and being an- xious to humor him. Then Bantam won and Terry took down $1yOS0. Not so bad for boy who is supposed to be out of his head"
 McGovern told this story over and over again to his friends and was ev1- dintly we'll satisfled with himself.
 VI see a lot of wise guys around here who are broke, yet come down here and get the coinv' said the former featherweight champion. "Sanitarium hey? Not for mine! whe racetrack Is the healthiest place kApw of." Those who talked with McGOvern yesterday were impressed with the fact that he seems to be in highly nervous con. dition, but. the boy at times talked quietly and rationally.
