THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, {OUNG CORGETT KNOCKS OUT TERRIBLE TERRY McGOVERN | 1903. N ELEVEN ROUNDa ONSHIP OF THE WORLD THE Sgrre Wiy svees 7_//\75‘, £ 2 " CORBETT TELLS HOW HE WON DID what I expected to do. At no time was he dangerous to me. I was just waiting for an opportunity to knock him out, and-when it came I went in and won. I was as satisfied to win in eleven rounds as in one. I had the fight in the first round, and if I had been more ag- gressive I would have won then, but I thought it best to bide my time and take no chznces. He said I had a weak stomach. Well, he got one in there and did not beat me. I was not hurt in the tenth. "I went out under orders to “stall,” d I did so. I knew he was fast weakening and I waited my chance. At no time during the battle did .he have me in distress. He is a good man, but I have a second time proved. I am his master. I have defended the title and am ready to do so again: I knew I could beat him. If you remember, I said I would win by a knockout, and I did. This victory is sweet to me, as I never did like McGovern. | +Record-Breaking Attendance a Rough Contest. | | | i | blows Which hi . | in the.; first t mix-up Corbett droppeil irfches with a”bard head, after th minute.* for st ‘one .The refer betteinto a cor just back d black®and wled it not intothe eye, otheriise be abled othen Corbett’s traiper, i credit for the ‘condition » placed” Corbett %in the ring’® weighed In at 4 o'clock at | cained five pounds before 1g the ring, weighing 132 s ably eassisted by ‘during 't iast w ining.

The meeting of the contestants after the battle will be remembered by all who wit- nessed it. McGovern came down from the | upper dressing room, which has always been considered unlucky by the boxers, and some one informed “Young Corbett” that Terry was outside. Everybody sug- gested that he be invited into the victor's dressing room. Terry was notified and he pushed through the crowd of admirers around Corbett, and the following conver- sation ensued: “Kid, you won on a fluke. Tell the truth, now,” sald McGovern, excitedly, as he poked his determined jaw close to Corbett's face. “Terry, 1 have no sympathy for you. don’t like you,” replied Corbett, Will you give me a return match?” aid Terry. “I'll give you a return match, but why do so.
