OF RUSS
GOVERNMENT PROBABLE

LONDON, Jan. Recognition
of the Lenine government in Rus
STA by the entente allies is probable,
owing TO the developments in the
Russo erman negotiations, accord
ing 10 the Daily Chronicle, which
prints the statement in heavy type.
The statement apparently is based
on a contribution "by a diplomatic
correspondent which is printed be
meath. The writer says that. owing
to the bolsheviki discovery of Ger
man duplicity, anything may hap
pen.
There are he says. three al
ternatives: The bolsheviki may
give way, the Germans may give
way. or there will be a rupture Of
relations The first is hardly likely
in view of Foreign Minister Trotz-
ky's declaration. The second is pos
sible, for the Germans are past
masters in the art of spacious COM
promise. But the third is most
probable, since the bolsheviki have
exhibited a perspicacity which was
hardly expected in this country.
INuESAds the Acllh VI boAAAfAitcc
surprises, may quite possible witness
a revival of war. if not i'm the most
active form il might at least be 4
sullenly defensive war, necessitating
the keeping on the frontiers of d
considerable force. II would at
least prevent those pleasant and
profitable commercial exchanges
which Germany hopes FOR.
"Assuming such a situation and
the consolidation Of bolsheviki pow
er. provided failure To extract q
peace does not wreck the Lenine
regime, then recognition Of that
power as the defacto government
follows. Since that is SO, a social
list would be the logical representa-
tive Of the government and Maxim
Litvinoff. who has been appointed
is a likely enough occupant Of the
embassy"
Referring TO the retirement Of
Sir George w Buchanan, the Brit
ish ambassador 10 Russia. whose
services are praised highly, the
writer says: "In his place proba-
bly, would be sent "a diplomat in
marked sympathy with the ideas Of
revolutionary Russia.
BE that as il may, We may eX-
pect shortly some new statement Of
policy with regard To Russia. which
should il lean toward the latest de-
velopments and democracy, would
undoubtedly strengthen the allied
cause in Russia"

Although the peace conference

The second round started even
more furiously than the first.
Tht round had progressed per-
haps a minute when there happen
ed one of the most astonishing &C.
currences the ring has ever
known. Corbett slowly extended
his left hand and chucked Meow
ern under the chin. He was grim
ming broadly.
McGovern, astonished, scarcely
moved as Corbett slowly tilted
back his head. Then with light
ming speed COrbett crashed over
his deadly overland right. Terry
sank to the floor, then before the
count Of ten slowly pulled himself
to his feet, using the ropes.
Dazed, he weaved against the
ropes, while Corbett, smiling de-
risively, stepped back and watched
him.
Wild with rage Terry charged
straight at the smiling Corbett,
rushing him into a corner and
battering him with rights and
lefts. The smile left Corbett's
face. Then suddenly, as McGov-
ern started a left hook, the crush
ing right shot inside the hook,
landing fairly on the chin. Nc
Govern fell at full length, knocked
out for the first time in his life.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-03-05

When the great referee counted
out Terry McGovern, one of the
most meteoric and brilliant careers
in the ring was brought to close.
Terrible Terry he was called,
and Terrible Terry he was, not
only to featherweights in his own
class, but even to the greatest
|lightweights Of his time.
McGovern, greatest Of feather
weights, stands out in contrast to
the boxers of today. Sturdy, with
the shoulders of q welterweight
and muscles which rippled under
his skin as the muscles of
leopard, 1.-THE, graceful, and with
fighting heart which would not
down, McGovern was indeed a
king in his division.
McGovern flashed across the
sky in 1898 when he was 10 years
old. He had been boxing for two
years as a bantamweight and his
rapid series of knockouts had
brought him to a place where he
was given a chance against Ped
Ter Palmer, bantamweight cham
pion of England and one of the
greatest little fighters Of 20 years
ago. This fight made McGovern.
He knocked out Palmer in the
first round. One punch brought
him the bantamweight champion
ship of the world and $4,000.
It was then that some
sporting writes gave Meow
efn the name by which he
was afteaward known, "Ter-
lible Terry"
And Terry earned the title.
He was a typical knOcker-out,
q rushing, tearing battler.
McGovern soon became too big
for the bantam division and went
into the featherweight class. Fea-
therweights, the best of the day,
and featherweights of that day
were not the dancing masters of
1918, fell before his terrible at
tacks, one after another, until he
reached George Dixon. who for 10
years had held the title.
In 1900 McGovern and Dixon
fought, the little negro falling be-
fore Terry in six rounds.
Not satisfied, McGovern went
after lightweights, whipping the
great Frank Erne in three rounds,
Kid Broad in six, and Joe Cans,
then in his prime, in two rounds.

The magnates have decided not
ito bother with pennies" on war
taxes this year, but will charge
even money.
This means that 25-cent seats
will sell for 80 cents instead Of 28
cents, the exact amount II the
war tax Of 10 per cent was charg-
ed. There will, of course, be no
excess pennies on the 50-cent
seats.
What is to be done with this
money?
Some magnates have suggested
giving ii to the Red Cross.
That's a fine patriotic thing to
do but there's a war cause much
closer to baseball than the Red
Cross. q cause which needs funds
and which would be maintained by
these extra pennies.
This cause is Clark Grit
fith's ball and bat fund,
started by the Washington
manager last year.
Already thousand Of SOL
diers i'm environments i'm Amer
lea and In France have re-
ceived baseball equipment
thru this fund. Griffith has
collected thousand Of dollars
which has been spent judic-
iOusly in purchasing equip.
ment.
Soldiers at Camp Lewis have al
ready received a large amount Of
baseball paraphernalia from the
Griffith fund.
There will be a new army this
year and new soldiers to supply
with amusements.
LET'S GIVE THE EXTR A
PENNIES TO THIS FUND.
II you approve the idea, let
Russ Hall, owner of the Tacoma
Tigers, know it. Fill out the cou-
pom above and send II to Hall Or
to the Sporting Editor Of The
Times.
Well see that Russ gets
every coupon.
