Series of CEnches.

Philadelphia, March 14.-Battling Nelson had
the advantage OF Terry McGovsrn IN their six
round bout, which took place at the National

the bout

struck, the men wrestling from one end Of the
ring to the other. with the referee powerless to
separate them II had been agreed that the
referee was not TO lay his hands on the men,
but simply warn them to step back when they
rushed to a clinch- The repeated warnings had
no effect on the fighters. and the crowd hissed
groaned and cried "Fake!" and Take them out
OF the ringl'
At the beginning OF the fourth round the men
began TO fight as though thew meant business
Nelson kept right after McGovern and used a.
straight left to advantage. McGOvern frequent
~ countered with hard lefts and rights, but his
blows failed to make an impression the
Dane.
AT the close of the fifth round McGovern went
to his corner in distress
There was some rough work in the early
rounds by the Dane. He frequently used his
right elbow and bore in on McCSovern repeatedly
with his head. Nelson deserved the decision, but
as no decisions are rendered when both men are
on their feet the fight was declared a draw
Neither man was knocked down during the
fight
