SAN FRANCISCO, April 1—Terry MoGovern makes claim to-day that he was robbed of the decision in his fight with Young Corbett. In this there is a pronounced difference of opinion, the general San Francisco idea being that Referee Eddie Graney was fair in giving the fight to McGovern’s an- All hands agree that it was a superb exhibition of game, rapid fighting on both sides. The misunderstanding at the close of the last round was un- fortunate, When McGovern staggered to his feet after the count of ten in the eleventh round it was generally supposed that his seconds would con- sider him fairly beaten. But the opposite is claimed. ‘Two timekeepers are certain that the count was completed before Mo- Govern arose from the padded floor. Another disagrees. Unprejudiced spectators say that even had Terry beaten the count “Young Corbett” was strong enough to have put him out with the next punch. Bickerings and disputes as to the outcome aside, it was a great contest. From the very start it was apparent that McGovern had determined to win at any cost. It was also apparent that “Young Corbett” had determined that he could not lose. The crash of gloves against skin was incessant in the fighting minutes, the flow of blood constant, and the rallies of the two boys after gruelling punishment were marvellous, TERRY WANTS TO TRY AGAIN. Whether or not the knockout was clean is a matter to be judged by those who saw the contest, but Terry says anywhere than on the coast he can reverse the verdict. fought to win by hitting low.

Nevertheless there are many who think that he It 1s doubtful if there was so muoh gate money gathered fn re- It was announced a few moments before the main contest of the evening began that there was a total of $42,000 in the box-office. This was taken to be an exaggerated estimate, but certainly no euch altitudinous prices were offered before for seats around a prize ring as were offered after the docrs opened to-night. While the crowd outside fought and pushed and buzzed and droned, the rrocaedings on the interior were begun sharply on time. As the watches of the spectators showed 8.80 o’clock the principals in the first preliminary entered the ring. The sight of the clean-limbed youngsters servet to whet the appetites of the thousands for the contest for which they had paid to see. As the announcer walked to the ropes to tell what was going to happen a hush fell upon the thousands who had a few moments before been howling like maniacs to a popular air. “Young Corbett” was the first to climb throwgh the ropes. He appeared at 9.40 o'clock, wearing the conventional bathrobe. He was attended by Harry Tuthill, Aleck Greggains, Tim McGraw and Billy Otts. The most ‘ concerned man, from appesrance, was Aleck Greggains, who is popularly credited with heving taken charge of the training of the Denver boy at a time when certain San Francisco sporting authorities sent word to the Hast! tliat “Young Corbett” was as heavy as a cart horse, CHAMPION FIT AND BELIED REPORTS. ‘The champion looked as fit as a fiidte and as cool as a highball.

His square face was set in a half grin as he gauntered to the northeast corner of the ring. When “Young Corbett” stripped his followers arose and yelled in a de- lirium of joy. Thousands who have never been at the ring side will remem- ber how the mighty Sandow used to turn his back to the audience in the theatre and make the trained muscles of his shoulders dance to music. The tuscles of Young Corbett danced that way last night as he moved about his * nite, and the prominent Adam's apple in his throat was bobbing up and ‘Gown with the rapidity of a sewing mackine shuttle—as i elways has just ‘Wetore he that skilled reporters ‘With ell his apparent strength it @ few pounds Lighter in weight-and more than a few MeGovern went into the second round as though he were determined to ‘win the fight right there, but he was up against a game person in “Corbett.” Although he had the Denver boy groggy after e minute of fighting,“Corbett” set his right-angled jaws, drew « long breath and hit the young man from i Brooklyn a smash that sent him half-way through the ropes, Terry took the of seven again, and both were plainly weak when the gong sounded.
