 Ruhlin.

New York. May 29.-Terry McGov- ern proved Himself the enigma of the pugilistic world last evening by out pointing and out-slugging Jimmy Britt in ten-round bout in Madison Square Garden. Terry was fat and apparently out of condition. The ner- vous trouble which has aroused the concern of all his friends has been more pronounced. In the last three weeks than at any other time since he left the sanitarium year ago. Yet he out boxed Britt, who looked as it as race-horse.

And when these wise men saw Terry go on growing stronger and stronger in each round after the fifth. and finish with big lead over Britt. they cheered and howled and mobbed him with such enthusiasm that the services of half doezn po- licemen were needed to drag and push Terry to his dressing-room.
 Britt. AIcGovern and all those con cerned in managing the exhibition were arrested. charged with prize fighting.
