N G0VERA ANO CORBETT
DIVIDE tISIIC RONORS
Cattle One of the Boodest Ever Seen
in Quaker City
Ring.
(By Associated Press.)

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Oct. IL
Terry McGOvcrn and Young Corbett
fought a hard six round bout at the
Natjona! Athletic Club tonight. When
the gong announced the close of the
battle, there was little to choose be-
tween the fighters.
The fight was one of the bloodiest
ever seen i'll this city. There was no
decision.
In the opening round, there was not
il blow which did any damage. Nc
Govern, DrofitlnG by his two previous
battles with Corbett, took no chances
and simply danced around the ring, or
:'sled to clinch
AT the open;ng of the second round
Gorbett rushed and caught McGovern
with terrific right on the chin, which
forced the latter to take the count of
nine. When McGovern got to his
feet he rushed to clinch and in so
doing he butted Corbett over the left
eye. opening a cash from which the
blood flowed in Il stream. From this
round TO the finish the fighters were
covered with blood from head to foot
Matters grew worse in the third
round After Corbett hal missed
three right swings for McGovern's
jaw. he finally landed hard right
hook over Terry's eye. opening a deer
cash. *afYT'NE
The fourth round was decidedly in
McGovern's favor. Time and again
he would counter on te wind Of
Corbett and rushed in an occasional
jab to the face which opened up the
damaged eye, the blood from which
n1rtlv blinded Torhptt
The fifth and sixth rounds were
about even. but there was never a
second that the men were idle. AT the
pace the men were going it is doubt
full if either could have lasted two
more rounds.
McGovern was weakened by Cor
belts blows and the latter, who car
ried at least twenty pounds TOO much
weight was weary from his own exer.

Choir or retardateur--a device calculat-
ed to offer the maximum OF resistance

this means to drift slowly with the ad

Assuming that this method works

Ing that II will do so TO at least a fair

Description of Ship.

A general description of the airship
b as follows:
In length 1t Is i64 feet. Its greatest
diameter Is 90 feet. The materials of
which the bag Is made are pure rubber
and silk, with the top OF the bag
q perfectly smooth surface, which will
not accumulate frost, snow or sleet,
and thereby decrease the ascensional
power. BY a simple device provision
has been made for the removal OF snow
from the top of the ship.
The propelling power of the airship
lies In three motors, OF the inner com
bustion type and using gasoline for
fuel. The combined horsepower OF
the motors is 100 although the con,
tract called for only rs. The largest
motor Is 40 horsepower, and In calm
air provides a speed OF from 10 to II
miles an hour, With all motors work
ing, the ship will be driven 10 miles
an hour In Gains,

IL is interesting to note that In the
cosby discussions Of the venture by
men who pretend to know nothing OF
aeronautics nor the polar regions, the
two objections most often urged are
tho two which caused Mr.. Wellman
and his associates in the construction
and Quitting Of the ship the most per-
plexity. The manner in which he pro-
poses to overcome one of these dangers
that from fast, adverse winds-has
been explained by Mr.. Wellman. thus:

hope to make progress with our air

screws when the winds are favorable

unfavorable. but not of too great We

strongly to permit us to advance with

we have adopted. II is this:

vorable winds OF relatively small We

''mnck-rake' Investigations at the
packing houses, but this time the
filth was found nearer home, in
the stores and eating houses.
Cellars that had not known a real
cleaning up since they were first
occupied, have been cleaned Of
their decayed fruit, vegetables
and other food stuffs. Refrig-
orators that never were really clean
since they we're new, and were so
filthy they would contaminate

were spelling are no longer sent
back to the "re-process'' estab-
lishments where they can be
cooked and canned again, with
something put in to destroy the
acid or odor that Indicated their
real condition Of decay. Mouldy
candy, when discovered, is soon
"sweetened" by having little
kerosene poured into each bucket
or case, and it is taken out to
form part of the great bonfire of
condemned goods. Fish from
the fish markets, are taken ont by
wagon loads when condemned,
and burned or buried. Thousands
of crates of lemons that had been
shriveled up by age, had been
s''rejuvinated" by having water
injected into them to make them
pump again, with some ACID ADDED
to make them look fresh. These
were taken out and buried, but
later, scores of boys were found
selling them on the streets,
having dug them up and gone in
to business with them. Thousands
