gave more than suspicion OF the
class which made him the greatest
little fighter of his time. He was there
with everything, except condition, and
il was the lack of condition that pre-

winner early in the bout.
Loughrey again demonstrated his
wonderful capacity for asslmliatlnS
punishment. Time and again he was
rocked by McGovern'S right and left,
but lie always came back with that
same logged persistence which has
marked all his bouts here. There was
not round in which there was not
an exchange of punches which brought
the spectators to their feet.
Near the end of the fourth round, in
which the milling had been notably
fast, Loughrey dropped Terry for the
count of eight. The bell sounded al

feet. This llnockdown counted largely
