McG0VERN PUT 1T OVER
JIMMY BRITT LAST NIGHT
After the Ten Round Bout in New York
Both the Pugilists Were Arrested
and Then Re-
leased.

New York, May 9.-Terry Mccoy
ern Of Brooklyn surprised everybody
last night by his wonderful showing
against Jimmy Britt OF California in q
l0-round bout before the Twentieth Cen
tury club in the Madison Square Gar
den in the presence Of 1000 persons.
Tim Hurst was the referee, but as
no decision can be given under the laws
governing boxing in this state, the spec
tators had to Judge for themselves as
70 the relative merits Of the men,
Immediately after The fight both the
principals, Manager Harry Pollock, Ref
cree Hurst and 10 others were arrested
by Deputy Police Commissioners Mathot
and Waldo, chaged with participating in
and conducting u prize fight.
Mctsoyern was the choice Of the big
majority, while none Of the most san
guine Of Britt's friends claimed anything
better than draw for the Californian.
McGoveln was not trained down as
iie as he had been on other occasions.
Britt looked to be in much the better
condition and was about five pounds
lighter than the Brooklyn man. The
style Of the men differed Britt was
clever and shifty and dtcked away from
some hard swings. Mctioyern stuck to
his old bull dog style Of fighting.
There was considerable clinching, hold
ing and mitigating, but whenever they
indulgrd III mix-lp Terry had the
better of ii. Britt landed several hard
labs on Mctsoyern's head and facA, but
Mctioyern did not appear to suffer much
from those singing blows. He was
always on the alert for mn opening to
land a swing or hook and got in a few
which shook up the western man.
McGovern opened up cash over
i}ritt's right eye with left hook in
the second round and in each succeeding
round the cut was reopened with jabs
OF hooks. Britt was bleeding from the
nose and Mct;oyern's right eye was puff
ed up at the end Of the sixth round
Ii was hurricane fight all the way
through, and Mct;overn had the upper
hand in every round but one after the
opening round. in which honofs were
pretty even.
The final round found Terry forcing
the pace and they were fighting at close
quarters when the bell ended the fight
On finishing their bout and retiring to
their dressing rooms, both were placed
under arrest. They were not given time
10 change their ring costumes for street
clothes and We're taken to the West 30th
strete police station in cabs, clad only
in fighting togs and raincoats. At the
station house all were released on bail.
