STILL A HAS BEEN: erry McGovern Shows Up Poor ly in Fight With Battling " NeUon, 1 : BUT AVOIDS A KNOCKOUT Though Clearly Bested and Wobbly at End of Sixth Round Go Officially Is a Draw. Philadelphia, March 15. Battling Nelson and Terry McGovern both wen? cn their foot at the end of their, six- round bout before the National Athletic club here last night. As no decision is allowed in the Quaker stronghold, the result was recorded as a draw, al though the once "Terrible Terry" was rather shaky in his underpinnings at the close, and it was evident that an other round would have finished him In some respects the fight was disap pointing, and for almost three rounds it looked as if the spectators would not get much of a return for the fancy prices paid for the ringside seat3. -His ses, groans and cat calls reechoed throughout the vast structure in the first two rounds as clinch foilowed clinch, and the blows delivered could be counted on one's fingers. Directed at X-lMn. The storm of hisses seemed partic ularly to be directed at Nelson, al though it was apparent that McGovern was not there to take many chances. Then as the battle went on both fight ers got intoaction, and the bout ended in a whirlwind finish, with McGovern wobbly and part of the time hanging on the ropes. Despite the mediocre showing at First, it was Nelson's fight by a wide margin, although a good many thought that some referee might have called the fight a draw, depending upon his sprinting ability to got away with the decision. Those who had strung their money behind McGovern filled the building with shcuts of "draw" at the close, but to the unprejudiced there could be no doubt that Nelson had the better of the fight from start to finish. Hut Two HIovvm Struck. There were only two blows struck in the first round, these being delivered by McGovern in the breakaways. The next two rounds were much like the first, clinching predominating. When Nelson thought that his opponent's strength was beginning to wane under his own exertion he opetied up in the fourth round and gave the spectators a glimpse of his real fighting ability. When he straightened up, however. and began to fight even the most criti cal round the ringside realized that he possessed great ability. In this round, the fourth, he caught McGovern with the left hand a jolt on the jaw which staggered the latter and made him clutch the ropes to keep from going down. The Brooklynite shook his head and rushed into a clinch. Nelson shot him off as though he was a rag and pound ed him from one side of the ring to the other. The wildest excitement pre vailed in the clubhouse, and many Play Ball BENNETT'S BASEBALL GOODS ARE THE BEST MADE. WE CARRY THE LARGEST STOCK IN THE WEST. We carry THE D. & M.

" McGovern came out apparently fresh In the fifth round and made a lunge at Nelson. The latter side-stepped and McGovern went' sprawling on the floor from the' force of his blow, losing his balance completely. Nelson was after him quick as a flash as he arose, and the Brooklynite was forced to cjinch the round- out to save .himself from a decisive beating. McGovern rushed out of his corner when a double tingle of the- bell an nounced the closing round. He made one last desperate effort to turn what seemed inevitable defeat into victory Nelson apparently had the same idea in view, or at least to end the bout then and there. The former champion was the first to land; aiming at the Dane a vicious right haud lead. The blow, however, landed on the cheek in stead of the jaw, and Nelson smiled as McGovern's adherents cheered. C.lvf and Take Order. , Each minute of this round was of the give and tako order, with McGovern the aggressor. McGovern dropped on his shoulder as the men were breaking away from a clinch, and Nelson caught him with a short right hand hook on the chin, which again forced him to clutch the rope like he did in the fourth round. The Dane, however, seemed unable to follow up this slight advantage, andi the crowd was wild with excitement when the Brooklynite came back and swung wildly with both hands, trying to land the knockout blow. His judgment of distance was poor and many of the blows were wild. END THE SEASON Basketball Girls Play West Liber ty and Boys Meet Moline.

HANK TO CLINTON Deal Announced by Which ls - lander Becomes Manager i " ' of Independents. WILL WORK LOCAL COLTS Provides Regular Place as Backstop for tng- McConnell' to Report March 23. Announcement was made by Presi dent Sexton of the Rock Island Base ball association today of the completion of a deal with Clinton by which Hank Walters is given to the Independents of that city as manager. In return the upriver team is to take care of a num ber of Rock Island's youngsters and give them needed work. Chief among the latter will be Eng. last year's change catcher, who has shown all the marks of a comer, but whom the team cannot well carry this season with Mc Conneli as the regular backstop and an emergency man in the person of Red mond at first. Out nee for Knt;. If Eug were on the team he would be given little to do and so would not have opportunity to develop very rap idly. At Clinton he will be the regular backstop. It is plan ned for Eng to exchange with a fielder part of the time and thus get work in the infield, where he formerly played. While he is a good catcher he would be more valuable to Rock Is land as an infielder and his general chances would be better. At Clinton, also, he will have a better chance to find his batting eye. Eng has been consulted in this matter and is thor oughly in accord with' the plans made for him this season. Who of the other colts Manager Walters will be asked to take at Clin ton will not be determined till Man ager McConnell arrives, which a letter received from him todas1 states will be the 23d of this month. AH the players. however, will first report here. YVlllttTN All ItlKUt. Walters writes that he is in his old time condition this spring and as an xious to get in the game as ever. He ; makes, no objection to going to Clinton, saying that whatever the Rock Island management thinks best he will do. fooling, as he does, deeply under obli gations for the manner In which he was taken care of at the time of his injury last summer. Hank is admittedly a good ball play er and an old head who knows all the nis and outs of the game. He is a valuable man on any team for the man ner in which he encourages and advis es the other players, and it is believed that he will be a success as a manager. He will probably play first base for Clinton., . . . .. . . ,. (iUHMlp of (in inc. The name of F. J. Spencer appears in the lineup of the Newark, N. J., team, printed in a sporting paper re cently. Evidently Newark is confident of holding Spencer in spite cf Peoria's claims. Despite his emphatic declarations that he would not sign with the St. Louis Regulars; "Cy" Swalm, the ex Dubuque pitcher, is nevertheless with tho squad, trying to convince the man ager of that team that he can "throw some." Cecil Weisenberger, the brakeman t wirier who was part .of last year with the Peoria team, and later officiated in a Senatorial uniform, gets a trial this year with Minneapolis. Outfielder Ben Caffyn, who has cov ered a section of the cabbage patch for various teams in the Three-Eye, and played good ball for Des Moines last year, has been traded by Cantillon to Oakland, Cal., for one Bill Dunleavy. Ed Leewe, the -Commodore's new manager, ha9 evidently taken his turn at telling pipe tales, as he is quoted as saying1 he "cleaned up 40,000 appli cations for places on the team before he left home." Decatur would keep Thornton anoth er year, but Thornton has decided there is not enough in it for him to give up his present occupation. As no one seems to know just what Thorn ton's "present occupation" is, the fans will have to take his word for it.
