THE PUGlLISTS
M'COVERN IS
 FAST GOING
HopelessIy Insane and | Physical Wreck Other Interesting
 News of Fighters.

There is no hope for Terry Mc- Govern. He is dead mentally now, and 1t will not be long before he is physically dead"
 This statement was made by Dr Givens, in the Givens sanitarium, in Stamford, yesterday.
 Dr Givens was talking with Joe Humphreys, who had paid visit to the sanitarium to see the little fighter and had asked the physician about Terrys chances of getting over his sad affiiction. Jimmy Burdick, the former sparring partner of McGov- ern, is another chum of his who has declared that he is hOpelessly gone.
 Burdick journey to Stamford to see the former fighter, believing that McGovern would soon be cured of his hallucination and that the day was not far of when he would be back in the ring fighting to regain the laurels first wrested from him by Young Cor bett.
 When Burdick saw McGovern he realized the truth of the doctors statement A little weazened chap came before him, laughing hilarious ly. talking incoherently, and as he walked. there was weakness about his movements that at times made him stagger. His clothes hung about him like bags; his cheeks were ashen. and there was no sign of life's blood in his lips.
 Terry, after fits of mad laughter and speeches not to be understood, asked how the ball was getting along.
 That ball is to be for the old wo- man." he yelled. Its to be for the mother of the greatest. fighter that ever lived
 As the former little fighter talked he became excited. He again imag- ined himself the conqueror of all lit tie men. and Burdick was advised to go away.
 McGovern's expenses in the sani- tarium are $40 a month. The sum is being paid by Sam Harris, his for fner manager.
 Harris is one of the managers of the athletic contest which will be given at Madison Square Garden on January 23 for McGovern's benefit. Others who are interesting them selves in this affair are Paddy Sulli- van, George M. Conan and Joe Hum phreys. From the fund money will be taken to pay the keep of the in sane little fighter while he lives. The rest of the fund will go to the wife and child of McGovern and to his mother.
 Many men known the world over as fighters will appear at this exhibi- ton. Among them will be George Layigne, the former lightweight champion of the world, who is now living a retired life in Saginaw, Mich.

NEW HAVEN WON.

New Haven, Jan 8.-In a slow and uninteresting game of polo, New Ha- ven defeated Bridgeport at the Quin- nipiac ring last night by the score of 10 to 6. The local team had but lit- tie occasion to display it's full strength. never being pressed hard by the Park City aggregation. Once. however there ensued very pretty little scramble in which several play CTS measured their length upon the floor. The old timer, Dumpy Will Hams, was on hand as scheduled, but failed to put up that great ankle game for which he is noted. He was, however, a tower of strength to the Bridgeport team and was eagerly welcomed by his friends in this city. Bone was, as usual, the prima don na and had things about his own way. Dews did not give him the sup port he generally accords and several times failed to connect with passes that he should have converted into goals. His defensive work was good. however. Warner played a splendid game and counted materially in New Ravens scoring, feeding Bone and Dews the ball quite frequently. Sum- mary:
 New Haven. Bridgeport Bone, Dews ........,...... Welch

NORTH CITIZENS
OPPOSE STABLE
Pass Resolutions Declaring
Against Structure in Any
Part of Vicinity.

BY a practically unanimous vote the
members Of the North Washington Cid
zens' Association last night passed tbs
resolution offered by their president.
William p. Armstrong. and went on rec
ord as being unalterably opposed 10 the
erection OF a stable on any site in their
section OF the city.
At the opening or the meeting Mr..
Armstrong stated that he had been in
vited by District Commissioner West 10
his ONCE recently for the purpose Of de-
Gliding what site he and the citizens OF
Northeast Washington preferred for
the erection OF the proposed public
stable.
The matter was argued for some time,
all Of the members agreeing that the
site In the rear OF the Bryant street
pumping station would be most IN
desirable. but few being able to sug-
gest a resolution which would adequate
~ express the feelings OF the association.
Finally John Imirie offered a resolu-
ton replying to the Commissioners by
saying that the citizens were particu-
larly opposed 10 the Bryant street site,
and in addition dlsliled to have a stable
anywhere in their vicinity.
President Armstrong then gave over
his seat to another member. and rising
attacked Mr.. Imirie's resolution on the
ground that II simply picked out one
site and said that the stable should
not be there and left the ultimate
choice 20 the discretion Of the Commits
sioners.
Gentlemen" said he, Il have here a
resolution Of but few words which /
think covers the situation exactly.
There is no evasion Of the question as
there Is IN the other resolution l offer
the following:
Resolved. That the North Washing
ton Citizens Association strongly op-
poses the erection Of any stable IN this
section OF the city"
There was loud outburst Of applause
from the members when Mr.. Armstrong
had finished reading. and his motion
was carried without struggle.
