TERRIBLE TERRY" ON DECK
Knockout" Brown Boxes Three
Rounds, with the Battler
as Referee.

Athletic and sporting celebrities willingly
contributed their services for the benefit
Of the Newsboys Home Club, at Madison
Square. Garden last night. Boxers. wrest-
lers soccer football players and acrobats
all did their part toward a successful hodge
podge entertainment. and those who
attended agreed that the affair deserved
greater patronage.
Joe Humphries. the announcer, was kept
busy introducing first this wrestler or that
boxer All were well received. but a muir
muir of surprise as well as welcome was
heard when the omnipresent Terry Nc
Govern was introduced. Recent dispatches
from Hot Springs had given the impression
that the once Terrible Terry was at
deaths door, far from his old home and
friends: consequently the spectators rubbed
then eyes to get better look. There was
no mistaking Terry. however and he APP
peared robust enough, too.
The original Young Critic. OF Australia,
whose hair is now quite gray. appeared in
a three-round exhibition with Joe Blume.
the newsboy champion featherweight Of
Philadelphia. Critic was taller and heavier
than his opponent. also by far the cleVerer.
That remarkable left that made him the
boxing wonder of his day was still in evil
dence
Knockout" Brown. who is going 10 try
and do things TO AL Wolgast. the feather
weight champion, over in Philadelphia to-
night spared three rounds with his
brother Adam. Battling Nelson was in
troduced as the referee, and the crowd
gave the "Battler" a great reception
*. o" and Nelson injected a little fun
into the affair as a result Of their by-play.
First the "Battler" would try 10 hold
TX. O.'s" arms and then Brown would
let nv stray punch at the referee.
Finally Nelson grabbed a bottle, and when
Brown got gay again the light haired one
received a ducking.
After a bout between the Dixie Kid"
and Bert Reyes the wrestlers were intro
duced. John Nifot, who won the Olympic
lightweight title in 1907. gave clever ten
minute exhibition with Billy Taylor. The
referee of this affair was William Muldoon,
a champion of long ago.
The crowd waXed enthusiastic over the
jiujitsu contest between Professor VIII
Bingham, OF England, and Jalli Yuma. the
Jap, whose name sounds something like
Jolly humor.' The Jap looked anything
but tickled TO death, however. after the
professor got through with him. 1t was
announced that Bingham would try TO
subdue the Jap inside Of ten minutes. He
succeeded.
Willis and Hassen, acrobats. then gave
clever exhibition of hand and head balanc-
ing. They were followed by Kid Broad
and Tommy Ginty who boxed three rounds.
George Bothner. champion lightweight
wrestler. gave an exhibition with Eher-
hardt hahn and this was followed by a
brief exhibition between Joe Rogers and
W. Katona, lightweight champion from
Finland

not get any one else 10 face him, though
he stood ready to take on any OF the
heavyweights Zbyszko was introduced.

Donald and Columbia Oval teams,
