(Special to The Evening World.) © PHILADELPHIA, July 25 —No two gamorocks in a pit ever fought a ‘Paster or more dexperate battle than did Frankie Nel! and Hughey McGoy- ern fn the ring of tho National Sporting Club, of Philadelphia It waa Neil's fight. The bout went to the end of tho sixth round without a knockout, but! ig the last two intervals of fighting the brother of Terry McGovern was forced to crouch and cover up as best he might from the hallstorm of blowa ‘that Neil showered upon every exposed fuch of bis anatomy from belt to scalp lock. Nell ehowed himself to be a thorough champion. From start to finish > ef the fight he held the aggressive, even on the one or two occasions when | he was caught and momentarily dazed by MeGovern’s furtous swings. He fought openly, like Fitzsimmons, with no attempt to cover up, always will- ing to take any kind of a blow for the chance to get in a counter, Ho Proved in headwork to be fully the equal of foxy Tommy Ryan, his tutor. in fact, Nell fought ll through the battle on the same style affected by the hee middle-welsht. He used every bit of ring generalship that could be crowded into six short rounds. At times he tried in every way to eet , Hughey out of the defensive crouch that he used after being (errtbly beaten | ‘ip the body ir the early rounds, and when he succeeded his attack was the) & _ Moat vicious ever seen in a battle between little men, | _ M'GOVERN WAS GAMI.

Thirty. five bundred paid tickets were taken up at the door. Inside, from ring to _ furthest gallery, the crowd was jammed in one solld mass, fading into - Gmoke wreaths of *he dim ‘distancs, _ + Mt the ringside were many {famous sporting men from nearby cities. “Young Corbett” and ‘Torry McGovern were introduced from the ring, and “ight local fighters challenged the winner before the bout began.

Sam Harris for Hughey. ‘Terry McGovern sat at the ringside, near his brother's corner Olang went the gong as Lou Durincher dropped the hammer. Instantly the boys wore in the middle of the ring. Instantly Netl’s left glove flashed Over and thudded on Hughey's chin. Before the sound had reached the | Fingside the famous left went in again, smash, to Hughey's ribs. Me- Govern steadied himself, slipped tn close, and drove left and right: Into *Noll’s body. Then came fighting so fast that the eye could hardly follow the blows. Battering as if the end must come then and there, both boys Slugged and smashed their way abort the inclosure, Both reeled with the impact of the padded fists. Terry McGovern, beside me, rose in his chair | and leaned treathless over the edge of the platform "Nell feinted Hughey inte a corner and half lifted him from his feet with that terrible left body hook. McGovern pammered away at NetI's | fav, wabbling it from side to side with volleyed swings, Netl, standing traight, laughed and made no attempt to cover or guard himself, Again | end again he drove his left fist into Hughey's Mbs. The round ended in » @uch @ furious rally that neither map heard the gong, and Referee Mo- Guigan had to rush between them. ‘The second started with another sudden flurry in midring. Nell Jumped tm and out like @ gamecock, flashing his fists into every opening. He drove Hughey to the ropes and battered him nearly off his feet McGovern was fm a bad way, but he came back strong and walloped the champion on the thin. Neil swung on the jaw, and McGovern staggered back CHAMPION WAS STAGGERED. ~ As he followed Hughey swung desperately. felrly ou the polnt, and it was his turn to reel, He put his head down and came back for more. There was a flying mix-up, and when the boys parted Neil was bleeding from a cut lip. There was not a second to reat. Back they bounced into a slugging bee along the ropes, Nell forcing the fighting. Just before the bell rang the champion put Hughey down with a fierce right-hand smash behind the ear, McGovern Jumped up The brazen gong was still quivering In the third when the boys clashed Rogether in midring.
