KNOCKED OUT MANY MASTERS
OF RING GAME.

BY knocking out such masters a.
George Munroc. Harry Forbes, Tim
Callahan, Casper Leon. Patsy Haley
and Sammy Kelly he quickly became
famous. Sam Harris left his laundry
wagon and became Terry's manager.
Then came the famous battle with
Pedlar Palmer and Terry's reputation
became worldwide.
Palmer came here Ia fight Dixon for
tho worlds championship. Foxy Hnr-
ris persuaded Peggy Bettinson, Pal
mer's manager, to take on young
Terry McGovern as a sort OF appetizer
for the big fight to come. Terry and
Sam Harris bet every cent they had
and Terry's end OF the purse. The
light came off at Tuckahoe. Terry
knocked the champion OF England
cold in q single round.
Then came n squirt OF such fighting
as no other man ever made in a ring.
In quick succession Terry knocked out
Fred Snyder, Billy Rotchetord, Patsy
Haley, Billy Smith, Eddie Spraguc, j.,
Corbett 1r, Charlie Mason, FreckIes
o'Brien and Harry Forbes, And the
amazing thing about all this was the
fact hat not one OF the nine lasted
long enough to hear the bell clang at
the end OF tho second round. Even
clever Harry Forbes. aftcrward
featherweight champion, only lasted
a round and a half.
Terry's name was IN every mouth.
Tho papers We're filed with his
praises, Crowds followed him on the
streets, The CLUBS where he fought
were packed 10 the doors. He was
the popular idol OF the hour.
WHEN HE CHECKED CAREER OF
GEORGE DIXON.
For ten long years little George
Dixon had been the invinclbh fcath-
err weight champion OF the world,
Dixon watched Terry's growing re-
putation with as much of jealousy
ns Little Chocolate could ever feel.
4 match was made. The two great
est little fighters Of tho decade were
turned into a ring 10 see which was
the better man.
That was a great fight. Dixon was
still in his prime. lie fought dos
perately with all the marvellous skin
~ his command. Hut IL vas in vain

GASLAUNCHES PLAY B|G PART
 IN WORLD WAR

DOVER, England, May (by maiD. Men who were amateur yachtsmen in the days of peace constitute very largely the personnel of the fleets of motor launches which have played an important part in most of the British operations in the English channel dur ing the past three and a half years In the recent Zeebrugge affair more than a score of them were engaged, putting up the smoke screen and act ing as mosquito escort" to the de- stroyers and other ships engaged.
 The yachtsmen who man these launches entered the naval service at the beginning of the war with an in innate knowledge of the waters around the British isles, and also of the French and Belgian coastal waters, so that they were able to per form many important services.
 Dozens of the launches which they pilot are of American manufacture. Many others, especially those used in the early days of the war, were fast pleasure craft, lent to the admiralty and usually commanded by their own CTS, who received commissions in the volunteer reserve.
 It is true that these men had only been amateur sailors, but their local knowledge was often equal to that of the professional fisherman, and to this preliminary advantage they soon added the benefits derived from in tensive courses of naval instruction. At present all these men have become professional and qualified members of the British "senior service"
 Although these motor launches are built primarily for fast patrol work, they usually carry serviceable gun, and in several cases have given good account of themselves in a fight. few days ago a German submarine sighted an American sailing ship and attacked her. Before the U-boat could do any damage, however, Watchful motor launch appeared and opened fire. The enemy, taken by surprise, was compelled to withdraw his atten- tion from the American and defend himself against his tiny enemy. The sailing ship escaped without sustain ing any damage, and the submarine was compelled to submerge under al rain of shells.
 The motor launch fleet comes tech nically under the head of "auxiliaryI patrol' in the admiralty ledgers, al place which it shares with it's partner, the trawler fleet The trawler patrol is manned mainly by fishermen, as theI motor launches are manned by yachts men. An indication of the essential democracy of the British character is to be found in the good fellowship which exists between the men of the trawlers and the men of the motor launches.

Bergen, of which he was practically
manager. Here, and later at the new
theatre at Christiania, Of which he
became manager, he made many ex-
peritnents, and produced some of his
own plays. Later his theatre became
bankrupt and he was glad to accept
the poorly-paid post Of "aesthetic
adviser" at another house. He made
an unsuccessful attempt to secure a
poets pension, and "his cup full of
disiliusion and bitterness" he start
ed, by Berlin and Trieste, ultimately
to settle in Rome. Two years later,
when he had become successful, he
was voted his pension, and his long
struggle with poverty was at an end.
He left Rome in 1903, settled i'm Drcs-
den until 1874, when he returned to
Norway, but only for visit. He did
not settle in Christiania until 1901.

Alter a brief schooling, Ibsen, in
I843, was apprenticed to an apothe-
cary; here he remained, as Edmund
uosse says in a brief biography,
Through seven dreary years of
drudxery, which set their mark upon
his spirit. I'm I347, in his nineteenth
year. he began TO write poetry. He
made a gloomy and almost sinister
impression upon persons who met
him at this time, and one Of his asso-

mystery sealed with seven seals"
lie continued his scif-education, and
In 1880 came up as. a student to
