IletiTler,
. CHICAGO, Dec. 13. Terry McOovcrn Is
ow the undisputed lightweight champion
of tho world. Ho knocked out Joe Gana of
Ualtlmoro nftcr two minutes nnd five nee
onds of lighting In tho second round.
Gftns put up a very poor exhibition and
waB Haver In It at any Htugo of tho gnmo.
McOovcrn started rushing him at the
sound of tho gong and never let up until
Cnna wna counted out. Onus never deliv
ered an effeotlvo blow during the light and
for a man of bis reputation he made u light
which will gain him no friends. Oeorgu
lller, tho veteran rcferco who presided in
tho ring, said after Oann had been taken
to his corner: "Gana put up a very poor
light. That's all I have to say."
McGovcrn put up a clean, fast fight from
start to finish And Is entitled to all tho
credit of a victory. He fought hard and
fast, his blown went homo straight to tho
mark and If tho light la to bo cried down
at all It Is on account of tho miserable
howlng matin by Guns. During the first
round bo nevor attempted to mix It. He
nover mado an effort to mo his left to
counter, for which ho Is so famous, and
did nothing hut back nway with a scared
look on his face. In tho second round he
attempted to light a little at tho opening
but soon resorted to his backward march,
not attempting to return a blow and male
Ing no offort to block tho hot ones which
McGovurn sent In on his mouth nnd face.
As hi) was, rolled down on the lloor tlmo and
again after every tubIi McOovcrn made, he
looked around with a helpless expression
as though ho had no Idea whether It was
part of tho proceedings for him to rlso or
remain whoro ho was. On tho last knock
down ho was on his back for six seconds,
roll od over on his face, roso to his left
knoo and remained In that position until
Sllor tapped him on tho shoulder telling
him that tho light was over and that he
wbh a loser. He was lifted and was nbl
lo walk In a feoblo manner to his corner.
"Hi' lilt Me Onl- Oiu-c," Snlil Terry.
As McOovcrn, smiling and waving his
hand, turned toward Ills corner ho was
picked up In tho amis of his manager and
cecomli nnd carried bodily to his chair.
In an Instant tho ring was thronged with
wldly-chcerlng McGovern ndhcrents, who
fathered uround tho Brooklyn boy's
corner and cheered him again nnd again
as McGovcrn, panting n little from his exer
tions, but with no marks of any kind,
started to put on his clothes.
"Ho hit mo only once," snld McGovcrn,
"and that was In tho flrst mlnuto of the
first round. Ho poked his loft Into my
mouth good and hard, but I know I had
htm on tho next exchnnge."
Onns had no excuses to offer. His sec
onds, however, snld tr.at Oans wan over
trained and that his stomach had been bad
all dny.
Thcro'wns n long delay after tho pre
liminary lights In order that tho ring might
bo spread with fresh canvas and tho picture-making
device set In operation.
Tho ring was lit up by sixty-eight avc
lights and four enormous reflectors, the
wholo giving candle-power of 200,000. De
spite tho grcntjicat genorntcd, by .tho
'lamps tho half was uncomfortably colli,
tho windows and doors having been opened
on all sldos to pormlt tho hrcezo to blow
through, and tho 15,000 peoplo, the Inrgest
crowd over assembled lu Tattcrsalls, shiv
ered and stamped their feet beforo the
fighters mado their appearance.
Danny Dougherty entered tho ring fifteen
minutes beforo McOovcrn to hold down tho
chair In which McOovcrn has always eat
during his fights In Chlcngo. When Mc
Oovern appenred ho wns groqtcd with great
cheers, a much milder reception bring
given to Gans, who entered tho ring Just
beforo him. In McGovcrn's corner wcro

Tho men weighed In nt 7 o'clock at
Malaehl Hogan's pluco on Clark street. The
scalo was fixed at 133 pounds und McOovern
stepped on tho scales first. He failed to
nioyo the beam as was expected and did not
look to weigh over 124 pounds.
Guns stenped upon the scales ns soon as
Terry made way for him. Tho beam roso
slowly anil remained fixed nt the top. The
weight wits slid along to 13t and the beam
still remained stutlonury. It wns pushed tu
13i mid fell. When llxed at 13IV4 It was sus
pended, but nearer the top than bottom. It
wus then announced that Oans' weight was
between 13l; and is Hi. The negro boy was
somowhnt creotfallcn at tho showing ho
made, as ho declared he had welshed under
133 ut Harry Korbes" gymnasium Just beforo
starting for Hogan's place. L'ndor the
agreement tho forfeit for overweight was to
bo one-half of that portion of the purse
coming to tho fighter ut the end of the con
test. 8am Harris, manager of McOovern,
declared that ho would allow the question
of foretolt to remain In abeyance until after
the fight. If McGovcrn won no forfeit
would be claimed. If he lost the f.ill amount
would be exacted. This waji highly agree
able tu the Oans party nnd tho fighters,
after exchanging a few pleasant words,
separated. They had greeted each other
cordlal'y when they mot at Hogan's und
there was no friction of any kind shown
uuring uiu weigning.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13. Tho National
league magnates, who have been lu ceulon
for tho last thrco days at tho Fifth Avenue
hotel, put In another busy day today. Two
sessions wero held, tho first lasting for two
hours. After a recess tbo lawmakers of
the leaguo wero again In session for several
hours. Although efforts are being mado to
wind up tho meeting by tomorrow night
tho opinion Is that tbo magnates will bo
hero tor one day longer.
Tho first session wns begun about noon,
with tho following present: A. II. Soden,
W. H. Conant and J. II. Hillings of Iloston;
W. W. Kerr, Philip Auton and Uarnoy
Dreyfus of Pittsburg.' Androw KTCodmtn
of Now York; Charles Kbbetts, P. A. Aboil

John I. Rogers and A. J. tench of Phil
adelphia; Jamos Hart of Chicago; John T,
Ilrush of Cincinnati; P. Dellaas Roblson
and Stanley Roblson of Bt. Louis.
Tho proposition mado to tho leaguo by
the committee from tho PUyers" Protective
association was the first business taken up.
A resort on Wednesday's cm:fnrnnrn wn
presented to the magnates by the league
committee and tho matter was thoroughly
discussed. After tho magnates had been In
session for about an hour word reached tho
corridors downstairs that tho demands
mado by tho playora had been thrown out
part and parcel. Thero was a hurried cou
forenco between "Chief" Zlmmer, Clark
Grlfllth and Hugh Jennings, representing
tho players' organization, with the result
that a nolo was sent upstairs asking tho
magnates to grant tho nlavern nnnthn..
audience. The magnates received tho note
ana laid it aside.
Players Iteffln to Heilft-e.
In discussing the refusal of the magnates
to grant tho original demands made by the
players, Clark Griffith, tho Chlcngo
Pitcher, said: "Thero is a ralstako some
where, nud we havo sot about to havo It
corrected. The league has acted upon tho
memorandum presented to them after the
conference by Mr. Taylor. That memoran
dum In too sweeping. I think tho leaguo
will give us another hearing and Anally
grant our requests.
"What will happen If wo don't get a hcar
ng? Well, I don't think wo had better
alk anarchy until we hao to. One thing
is certain tho players will dlo game."
'In case of war bntwxon n... j
Its players, and tho players strlko, and sup-
. ,enuo Players should become
affiliated with the American league, what
would becomo of tho
- J " WUIIIIDUII B
organization? Would tho Natlonnl players
try to gei piaces of the American League
players?" Mr. Griffith was nsked.
"Not at all; thero would bo no effort on
our port to tnko away the places of the
American Leaguo players. That matter has
boen looked Into and settled."
Harry Taylor, the players' counsel, was
absent from the hotel all day today. He
disappeared on Wednesday night. "Gone to
Boston" was tho only reply that could bo
gotten from tho members of the players'
organization when asked where ho had
gone. Taylor's absence iravn Hen n m.
