Show CORBETT DEFEATS McGOVERN. Terrible Terry Put to the Bad In the Eleventh Round. In San Francisco Tuesday night, William Rothwell, better known as "Young Corbett," of Denver, defeated Terry McGovern of Brooklyn in the eleventh round of a fight that was fast and furious from the tap of the gong. In nearly every round Corbett, fighting like a machine, never overlooking over-looking ah opportunity to send home his blows, had a shade the better of the argument, and when finally, in the eleventh round, he got' in the final blows, the "Brooklyn Terror" sank to the floor a badly defeated man. Corbett Cor-bett put McGovern down in the first round for a count of seven, and repeated re-peated it in the' second. There was some question as to whether or not McGovern wa down at the count of ten in the eleventh round, and for a few minutes it looked as if there would be a free-for-all fight. McGovern tried to get up, tried hard, and was on his feet an-instant after the timekeeper time-keeper counted him out. George Harding, Hard-ing, the club timekeeper, who counted McGovern out, stated after the fight that the blows that knocked McGovern McGov-ern out were left and right swings on the jaw and a right uppercut on the chin. McGovern claims he was robbed of the fight, but conditions do not seem to bear out his statement. |
