Jack Dempsey Will Take on Bru ising Bill Brennan and Fred Ful

at Champion's Rich Title.

HICAGO, Feb.
United States,
By Luther A. Huston
22. (I. N. S.) At opposite ends of the
Monday night, contenders for Jess Willard's
coveted title will launch drives that probably will narrow the
, logical aspirants for the world's heavyweight championship down
to two.
One bout will see Fred Fulton, who has ranked as the leading
contender for several months, in action against Frank Moran,
whom Willard once defeated at New Orleans. The other will see
Jack Dempsey, the flash from Utah, opposed to Bill Brennan, the
Chicago knockerout, at Milwaukee.
Dempsey Just now is coming along
faster than any other heavyweight
in 4ha works and as a result his
performance against Brennan will
be watched with keenest interest.
The bout with Brennan will give
him. his biggest test.
Bowled Tares Fasteners Over
Bobbing up out of the West a few
weeks ago with not much of a rec
ord back of him, UempHey has
bowled over three heavyweights of
some abiMty. "lie stopped Homer
Smith by a knockout in leas than a
round, got a decision by a wide
, margin over Carl ' Morris and put
the ancient Jim Flynn a notch
'nearer oblivion by a two minute
knockout.
Brennan is a tough, rugged battler
With one of the deadliest wallops of
. any of the heavyweights. If Demp
sey can defeat him he will be a big
jump nearer the title.
Fulton Expetted to Win
Fred Fulton, who shows erratic
tendencies at ttmt-H. is expected to
win from Moran at New Orleans.
1 Fulton, at his best, is figured a bet
ter man than the blonde Plttstfurg
Irishman who is thought to have
rone back since he was beaten by
Willard. Moran, however, baa been
keeping in shape by instructing sol
dier boxers at a southern canton
ment and is confident he will beat

Dempsey and Fulton are about
matched for a bout at Milwaukee
early in May and if both win Mon
day night the match probably, will

was willing to meet the winner of
a Dempsey-Fulton scrap and several
clubs are angling for the bout.
With the big bout with Willard
and a chance at the UUe as the
prize,- spectators at the New Or

"Terrible Terry" McGovern
EW YORK, Feb. 22. (I. N. S.) "Terrible Terry" McGov
ern, ex-featherweight champion of the world, died here to
day m the kiners Countv hospital at the age of 39.
Two days ago he applied at the hospital for medical aid, saying
he was penniless, and death came to him m the charity ward as a
result of pneumonia and complications. ,. His wife waa notified pf
his serious condition. She reached his bedside just before he took
the last count.
The passing of McGovern marks finis to the career of one of
the greatest, if not the greatest, of all featherweight champions
In the heyday of his career McGovern was a tiger in the rooed
arena. He was a veritable demon of the ring, for he had the fight-

ing ncari, me speca ana tne auraDimy tnat was cnaractenstic o:
all the great champions of bygone days.
As featherweight champion of the
world, McGovern earned thousands
of dollars. He was one of the most
popular fighters who ever wore a
. pugilistic crown and he had often
been ranked as the greatest of the
great quartet of former feather
weight champions of which he was a
member. That quartet, with Mc
Govern. consisted of George Dixon, '
the great negro ; Frank Erne and :
Young Corbett.
Threw His Wealth Away
That he should die in the charity
ward of a hospital, broken and pen
niless, seems a sad twist of fate,
t but like many other great fighters.
McGovern threw his wealth away.
McGovern was born In Johns
town, Pa., in 1872. Had he lived
until March 9, he would have been
89 years old. He was of Irish
American parentage and his given
name was Joseph Torrance.
At the age of 17 he started his
boxing career around his home city
of Johnstown and rose rapidly as a

In four short years he had risen
to the top of the class, for it was in
June of 1900 that he knocked out
George Dixon in eight rounds, in this
city, and won the world's feather
weight title. -s,
Became Rich Overnight
As featherweight champion of the
world McGovern earned a fortune
In a few short months. He did not
confine himself to his own class,
for he stepped out to meet men who
had an advantage over him in
weight and his terrific punches
Btopped every man who faced him
in 1900, his one bright year as
champion, in less than 10 rounds.
In 1901 McGovern lost his coveted
title . to Young Corbett of Denver,
who knocked him out in two rounds
at Hartford, Conn. McGovern at
that time was growing out of the
featherweight class. Corbett - had
already outgrown it. Later both
stepped out of the featherweight
cirele to enter the lightweight di
vision. Though Corbett fought with
success as a lightweight for a time,
McGovern was unable to fight his
way to the top.

noon on the Y. M. C. A. floor by the
score of IB to 12. As the result of its
victory, Washington finished in second
place in Division B.
The guarding of the players of both
teams was spectacular. The first half
of the game waa scoreless until the last
few minutes of play when Mann, the
crack Washington forward,, scored five
points In rapid-fire order, by converting
foul and shooting two field baskets.
The Quakers got the upper hand In
the first half of the last period and were
leading 11 to 10, when Mann converted
and . dlund scored a basket. A basket
by Clough, following a free throw by
Tucker, gave Washington the contest.
Jensen, Washington's center, was put
out of the game for rough playing and
Tucker and Thomas of Franklin each
had three personal fouls charged against
them when time was called.
