timekeeper, who counted McOovern out
Hinted after the fight that the Mown
that knocked McGovurti out worn loll
nud rlKht r wing's on the Jaw and a
right uppurcut on thu chin,
Wiui Unable to Hlsr.
Hurtling said McOovcrn wns In u
dared condition: that when he had
counted nine ho motioned him til set
up, but McOovcrn wan too confused to
notice and wiih unnhlo to rise. At tho
count of ten McOovern started to rise,
but It was too Into and thu icforee
awarded the Unlit to Young Corbott,
Harding mild that McOovern wiih com
ploMy out nud that It waH n. mercy
to him that ho wan unahlo to pet up.
Corbett waH Htrong ami ready, and had
McCJovern risen to his feet ho nrobublv
would linvo been seriously hurt. Ah tt

Govern had been carried to IiIm corner
before ho waH able to nit up or- under-
timd what had happened.
The men In McOovorn'H corner
claimed that tho decision was an out

Imitrueted to fight cautiously, and when
he wan knocked doWn he wan to take
the full count, and that McOovern
obeyed his liiHtruetlonH. They claim
that at thu count of ten ho wiih on his
feet, and nlthough dazed know what ho
hum doing. They also claimed that ho
fcd plenty, of fight In him and would
have hinted the rent of the round,
Harding's position In rountliiK MoGov
irn out wiu sustained by "Chalky"
ltoberts. another timekeeper. Paddy
Sullivan, the third timekeeper, was
very much In favor of McOovern, and
contended that the count an accepted
by the referee wiih wrong. Rofcren
Ciranoy'H decision seemed to meet with
tho approval tif moat of tho spectators,
rh McOovern was apparently thor
oughly beaten.
Principals Uxprcs Tlimrlrc,
"It wim my way of winning the
fight," said Young Corhett. after tho
fight. "I fought cautiously In cverv
round and felt McGovorn weakening
toward tho end of tho content. I
ciuiKht him with a loft on the Jaw and
went him back ngalnst tho ropeH. Ho
dropped hln hands to IiIh Hide, which
fna u Hiiro signal to mo that 1 had won
the contest. I went for him, put rights
and lofts to head and Jaw and wan
forced to fight myBcIf free In tho clinch.
Tho tlnal blow wiih n right uppercut to
tho Jaw that put McOovern to the floor
for tho full count. Rvon Imd he been
able to regain IiIh feet before the count
of ten I would have laid him out. an ho
was absolutely Unable to defend hlm
clf. At no tlino In the contest won I
confiiHed or discouraged. And to say
that I won tho light unfairly Ih a great
"
m
mnnwi lummy
the noxt best man In the world, but J
still retain (ho chnmpionshlp and will
fight uny man who approaches my
class. But I will not give n pound of
my weight to anyone. I was In superb
condition, and to my trainers I give
credit for winning tho content."
"It was tho rreatest. robbery In the
history cf tho prize ring," said Mc
OtfVeru. "I hud Corbott beaton from
start to llnlsh. I landed on hint when
n-d where 1 pleased, and surely would
have had him out within a few round.
X was not knocked out. hut ndmlt that
tho right uppercut to tho chin duzed
mo and I took the count In order to
save, myself. I could havo gone on
with tho battle, and would, I think,
havo regained tho championship. I
guesH It Is nil up with a lighter when
lie goes In, wins a. contest' mid Is then
lobbed Ot tho decision. I Blnceroly hope
tliut flonio club will match us again nnd
then you will hear a different story."
BIk Croud on Hand Knrlr.
By S:30 o'clock, when the contestants
In the first preliminary entered the
niiB, me uig uinpimueairo was packed
with a cheering, Impatient crowd.
Outside u drizzling rain was falling,
but this did not dampen the enthus
iasm of the crowd, which Htrctched for
half a block on either side of the door
and even blocked tho streets In front.
It was estimated at that time that
nearly eleven thousand people wero In
Hlde the hall, tho biggest crowd that
ever saw a light In San Francisco.
IteportB from McQovern'H and Corbett's
heudquartera wuro equally bright. Both
men had rested quietly after weighing
In during tho afternoon and expressed
attsolute confidence In the outcome.
The flmt preliminary was a ton
round go between "Dixie Kid." a
colored welterweight from Los Angeles
and Kddle Cain of Brooklyn, McOov
ern'B sparring partner. "Dixie Kid"
won In tho second round with a right
to the Jaw. Cain was not out, hut
when he went down he turned his
ankle badly and wa unable to got up.'
The slralu wan a bad one and It was
necessary to carry Cain from tho ring.
Tho second preliminary, a hIx rounTt
go between Cal Mcjim nnd Jimmy
Caroll, Jr., both" of Han Francisco,
wua declared a draw.

At 9;62. nmld a mighty roar from
the crowd McOovern climbed through
the ropes, accompanied by Ham Harris
and hut seconds, Clmrllo Mayhood,
Kddle Cain and Joe Angelo, Terry
turned around once or twice, rubbed
his iinpu collectively, ther walked to
Corbott'H corner uml holemnly offered
his hand. Corbott took It. but It wan
evident thero wan not the friendliest
feeling In tho world between tho two
llghterH.
Both )md their hands heavily ban
daged. Ah McOovern Uipped oft hln

The most notable Incident connected
with the president's departure arr6
out of the presence at tho station of
Baron Speck von Sternburg, the Oer
man minister. He wns tho only mem
ber of the diplomatic corps who went to
the depot to see the president off, nnd
the president greeted him most cor
dially, telling him that he greally ap
preciated the courtesy. During their
chat the president asked the baron
whether he would bo here In June,
when he returned, and upon teeelvlne:
an afllrmative reply the president laid:
"That Is good: we will have aomo
long rides together "
The baron told the president that his
horses wero In India and would hot be
hero for some time. Instantly the
president turned and gave orders thnt
during his absence his riding horse
and that of Mrs. Roosevelt should bo
placed at tho disposal of Baron and
Baroness von Sternberg. "I should
be very much pleosed," hald heMo the
baron. "If you and tho baroness would
ride them while I am away." ,
As tho train drew out, the president
called:
"Good-bye, Baton, I appreciate your
coming very much."
No member of the president's hnmed
lr e family except his sister, Mrs.
Cowies, was at the Motion, Mrs. Roose
