Thr is doubt In th mind vt thee who have mis Terry MeOove.rn at hit best tht tha gama i not !tke!y to iM again his eqtial. Aba Attil wa a last boxer and a great little fighter and Johnny Kilbane -was certainly a master of boxing', btrt neither of these came rear the class of Mc(.;ovm, His fury of aggression and apparently inexhauitabie strength and stamina has never been approached. While going: at hie beet stride nothing could stand before McGovern and he cleaned up most of the best in the bantamweight, festherwaizht and lightweight divisions. He then defeated the great little George Dixon for the featherweight title and followed It up by beating most everyone In sight. Young Corbett of Denver, then little known, whs picked as the one boy wao had a cnance against MeGovem, and when Corbett beat McGovern it was the beginning of Terry's end. He whipped others with the old ease, but was later knocked o jt by Corbett and never really came back.

CHAPTER VII. Sullivan, American champion at the fight game, had few world's to conquer among tbe profeeeionale after he had stretched the form of Faddy Kyan on the turf. But BHI7 Madden, manager of the Boston terror, aware of the tremendous smashing rower In the fists of the new champion, hit upon the scheme that eventualy made John L. Sullivan's name the terror of the county, and elevated the oirner of the name to a place In pugilism never before or since held by any boxer. So Madden" broached to Sullivan end was enthusiastically accepted, the proposition of touring tbe country and meetlug all comers. The trip was arranged, and it lives today in the nunds of most tight followers. nichard K. Fos, an old-time, wellknown sportsman, moved the earth in his efforts to find someone who would be able to whip Sullivan In this series of fights, which were limited to four rounds, but he never succeeded. Fov had been Faddy Ryan's chief backvr end when Sullivan shipped the American champion end came Into possession of the belt Fox himself had donated as an emblem cf the championship, was in a rag. He neer stopped trying to find the man who would vihip the new champion. j M hen Madden and Sullivan started on their tour they offered 550 to any man who nould stand for four rounds bfore the furious hammering of the champion. Many wild tales regarding this remarkable trip have ben circulated around the country regarding the number of men laid low by Sullian during this jaunt. Some declare Sullivan storptd more than a hundred Milage celebrities durinr the trip. Others rlace It at fifty. The record books make no rretrne of Including all of them. Only the more important are shown. The first f the ambitious one to take a crack at the $50 purse was Jimmy Elliott. They met in "Washington Park,
Xew Tork, July 4, 1SS2. Elliott bad Just j finished a great fiht with Jchnuy j Dwyer and had shown wonderful i etamlna. It was believed that he surely! would withstand tbe crushing force of j those big f!t, if any one could. But j Elliott didn't furnish passing entvrtain- j ment for the new champion, who beat i him down time after time with his maul- j ing f sts. In the third round Sullivan's '
right fist caught the challenger equarely !
on the point of the chin and It was 'curtains" then and there.
Sullivan, however, was developing the ; use of the black bo'tle and it was be-1 ginning to have Its effect. A warning ! alarm of what n.lght happen was ! sounded during his trip meeting J1 com-j ers. but Sullivan was deaf. Vhen he mot Tug AVilson in Madison Square Gar- '; den and by falling to stop the KngMeh- i man lost bis forfeit money his lack of ! condition was evident, but the fioston ' strong boy paid no heed. j Fox brought, besides Tug Wilson, tbe ; wonderful Knglishman. Charley Mitchell, ; end it was the meeting with this little! challenger that eventually led to the! historic meeting between the to fight-1 ers 1:1 Chantilly, France, a bout which was called a draw at the end of the' thirty-ninth round, when dusk was fall-; ing. Persons who were at that fight detlare fullivan proved far the betfr man' of the two and that Mitchell wag a bad'y .
whipped man. but the fact that he had j been abl to withstand the hurricane of ; blows raind on him by the furious SrulUan saved him from having a dect-' sion rendered against him. ! Such things as that ha ti herrened j since. 'h'-ner a smaller man xwceds in holding off t'r;e powerful punches of a largr. more scientific man. hf- is immediately acclaimed a winner. The blcgcr man s prst!ge is hurt Such matches a!was have bn and ever wilt continue to be a detriment to the ! larger class of hea y weights. Sullivan's standing whs injured by the showing'.
