FIGHT ENDS IN DRAW
McGOVern and COPbett Go Six
Rounds at Philadelphia.
NEITHER UP TO OLD FORM
Former FeatheF-weights Lacked
speed and Furnishing POwers-COr-
bett Had Far the Better Of the
Mil in the Second and Third
Rounds, but McGOvern Rallied.

Philadelphia, Oct 17.-Terry McGoverns
of Brooklyn. and Young Corbett, of Den
yer. both former feather-weight cham
pions fought six interesting rounds here
tonight. and draw would have been
good decision. but no decisions are
rendered in Pennsylvania. Neither man
had either the speed or the Furnishing
powers he had when he was champion
although both boys were badly cut about
the face at the conclusion Of the bout.
Had Young Corbett the strength be
hind his blows in the second and third
rounds. when he had the Brooklynite al
most out. the fight would have ended
then and there. Neither boy showed the
wonderful physique of a few years ago
and were much drawn from their hard
training.
