CNote; This is the sixth-and final chapter of series of six articles which MT Corbett is writing on the pugilistic life of Terry McGovern)
 The two knockout defeats administered by Young Corbett wrote the word '.finis' on the pugilistic career of the wonderful whirlwind Terry McGovern. True, he mingled in more than a dozen ring bat ties afterward, but he never again was the same fighter. The old McGovern az gressiveness, the irresistible force and the splendid confidence of the earlier days was gone.
 Terry ever afterward seemed to fight as though in fear of a knockout wallop
 McGovern, up to the time of his first battle with Young Corbett, had mingled in 62 ring duels, losing but once-and then on a foul. He scored most of his victories with knockout blows. Only a few of his foes lasted more than half dozen rounds, and there was truth in the boast of his legion of followers that Terry MeGovern isn't afraid of any liy- ing man.
 Contrast that showing with what Terry made after the westerner handed him a dual beating and you can see what a change had been wrought Terry was only 21 when Young Corbett took the title away from him in Hartford-an age when a pugilist in the smaller divisions is supposed to be at his best Yet from that day Terry fought II battles and could win but five, even though most of his foes were dubs. Inciured in those IA battles were some no-decsion bouts with men whom Terry could have put away in one round in the earlier days.
 But the. Terry McGovern, after 1903. was 1,G00 GOO miles removed from the Terry McGovern of 1901. And two knockout blows had wrought the change,
 Terry during the heydey of his ring career, accumulated fortune of per- haps s100.0 coo At that time he stated
 i've got my little roll and Ina going to keep it. I'm not going to blow it like the other fellows have done. The money I've got will keep me for the rest of my days, if I take care of it. And that's exactly what I'm going to do"
 But Terry McGovern didn't keep his re- solve. He had a fondness for race

Officers Issue Warning
 Against Shooting Pigeons

Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, April es. Special )-Signal officers of the Ohio di- vision have issued a general warning to citizens of Alabama against the killing of pigeons because of the growing use of pigeons in maintaining communica- tions between units of the army. Many farmers have been shooting the pigeons, not knowing that they were horning birds and probably were handling important messages for the government. Recent ly several birds were released % miles from Montgomery with messages for Camp Sheridan and several never re- turned.
 Maj. Chalmers Wilson, division signal officer, emphasized that the protection of the birds is important now because the government is establishing a pigeon training station here and several thou sand birds will be trained for war work. Pigeons are important in maintaining communication because messages can be delivered by them when line communica- tions have been interrupted by enemy. fire.

they were being fiercely deiuged with machine gun bullets.
 Not only that, but a large number of men were caught beneath the tanks and ground into the earth.
 Prisoners estimate that at least two and probably three German companies were wiped out in a few minutes.
 The machines returned in such hor- rible condition from the shambles that they had to be washed down.
 One German prisoner had a rough experience with the small tanks and lived to tell the story, although he was much shaken result of his experience. He got separated from his unit and was hiding in shell hole near Cachy when tank charged di- rectly over the hole. 1t was deep enough to protect the German. but ne was so terrified that he lost con- sciousness and was just regaining his senses when the performance was re- peated by second tank. Again he es- capped and saved himself further trials by being captured.
 Only four German tanks appear to have been in the section Wednesday about Villers- -BretonneuX, although numbers of others arc rumored to have been assigned to participate in the attack.
 The Fourth Guards division, which advanced against the town from the south, expected seven tanks to ac- company them, but three of them did not appear.

FRESH|E |S HERO
 OF ATHLETIC MEET

l Philadelphia, April 26.-John Bartels, l of Jersey City, freshman at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, stepped into athletic fame today by winning the penthalon, representing the all-round col | lege championship at the 24th annual relay race carnival of the University of Pennsylvania on Franklin Field. D. F, Shea, Dartmouth, finished second; M. Haddock, Kansas, third; Charles Ham mond, University of the South, fourth; T. Bechtel, LaFayette, fifth, ana Emery of Pennsylvania State, sixth.
 There were b starters in the pentha- lon, which consisted of the broad jump; javelin throw; 200 meter race; discus throw, and 1500 meter run. The compe- tition was reduced to F men after the third event. and to six after the fourth. Bartels finished first in the javelin and discus throws, second in the broad jump, fifth in the 200 meter race and last in the 1500 meter run. He made no attempt to win the long meter race, be- cause he was sure winner of the pen tha lon.
 Hammond, representing the south was third in the 1500 meter, fifth in the dis GUS, seventh in the 200 meter. fourth in the iavelin and sixth in the broad jump. Haddock won the broad jump. Bechtel won the 200 meter and also the 15O0
 The American sprint medley champion
 ship was won by Pittsburg university and the distance medley relay champion ship by Chicago.
 Due to the war, the competition in most of the events was not up to the standard of former years One record was broken, Bartels exceeding the pen thalon record for the discus throw. He threw 113 feet 10A inches. The pentha- lon record is 10 feet 5 inches
 The attendance was small, due no doubt to a Ibery Loan parade in the central part of the city.
 The big national relay championship will be held tomorrow.

horses, and bought string of thorough
 breds. The investment proved losing one for him. He made other ventures
 in financial way and practically every
 one resulted in big loss for him. His
 fortune dwindled away almost to nothing
 in 1908, when he fought his last battle,
 he had only a few thousand left.
 A monster benefit was arranged for
 Terry and many thousands of dollars
 were realized from that source But
 Terry let it slip through his fingers.
 Soon afterward the great fighter suf-
 fered a nervous and mental breakdown
 and had to go to q sanatorium He was
 there for quite a time, but eventually
 was discharged as cured. However, he
 was never the same MeGovern after
 ward.
 Terry always knew that as long as he lived he never would be in want; that
 he always was sure of an income that
 would keep him and his family comfort ably through the rest of their days. And
 this all was due to the generosity-and
 the gratitude-of Sam Harris and George
 NJ. Cohan. Harris, in the modest day
 that is his, always has insisted that
 Terry MeGovern made me" But Sam
 was a potent factor in the making of
 Terry McGovern. Teamed up they
 made" each other and climbed to the top of the ladder of fame and fortune. Harris became Terry's manager when the Brooklynite was an obscure fighter and by skillful handling and shrewd management of the financial end, helped Terry to affiuepce The share of Terry s winnings that went to Harris for his work was used by him ip taking a plunge into the theatrical game. Harris
 made good-and prosperity and success has come to him.
 In after years, when Harris learned that Terry's fortune had been dissipated he talked things over with Conan and as a result, they placed Terry McGov- ern's name on the Conan < Harris pay roll-at salary greater than 70 per cent of the workers in America are earn ing today"
 Terry McGovern has joined Bob Fitz- simmons, John L., Mike Donovan, Charlie Mitchell and the others in the great be yond. But the tales of his pugilistic greatness will live ever in the memory of the sporting world because Terry McGovern was fighter-probably the
 most remarkable fighter for his inches that the world ever has known.
