! worse over

EREDDY KELLY feels much worse over
J. Terry McGovern's four.round technical
knockout by George CLANCY than the de-
feated boxer himself. Saturday night nj
the National Club. when McGovern left the
ring after Kelly had terminated the one
eided contest by sizzling wet sponge near
the prone body of his protege, Terry showed
no signs of downheartedness. His face, un-
marked despite Chaney's terrific thumps
beamed with smiles, and he nodded cheer-
fully to his many friends who crowded
around the ringside to sympathize win MN
He appeared as if he didn't want any SYM
pathy. However this was not so with kelly'
as McGovern's manager and pal assisted the
boxer from the ring. Kelly's eyes were tuli'
and it looked as if he would burst into tears
1t was evident that Kelly felt McGovern's
defeat lay entire.y on his shoulders; he was
the one who made the match and should
burden whatever blame there was in the
defeat There are few managers now who
seem to have the same feeling toward their
boxers. McGovern was entirely outclassed
by Chaney, and no one in the audience was
aware of this fact better than Kelly. Rather
than see his man beaten into unconscious
ness Kelly did the only best thing: toss up
the sponge And in doing so, Freddy's act
should be commended, and deserves even
more credit than Chaney for his victory
