plays with no apparent delay. He makes
up his mind quickly and one shot after

U. S. SOLDIERS TAKING
TO CRICKET, 'TIS SAID
Occasional letters from boa In the
service abroad show that whllo they are
teaching Franco and Ihigland tho beau
ties ot baseball they aro gaining new
respect for tho British gamo of cricket,
which they bad previously thought about
as mild and harmless as croquet.
One soldier, writing of a cricket game
ho saw In October, declares that tho
Itrltleh fielders, "whllo weak on ground
ers, nro pippins on fly balls. Thcw'11 go
down tho field for along fly, judge It
Just right, nnd grab It without gloves
"Somo of tho catjehes they make
would do honor to Cobb or Speaker."

Life History of ,
Terry McGoverh
I'AKT UEVEN
Terry Defeats George Dixon
AKT13I1 ho had defeated I'edlar Tal
xl iiier, Terry, llko many of his prcde
ceexors. went on tho stage. Harris and
Sam f-'crlbner formed a partnership and
organised a .show company, "Tlio Clay
Morning dlorlcs." Terry toured tbt
country as the chief attraction and tho
net profits for the season were $23,000.
Thero being no moro bantam to beat,
Terry went after the featherweights,
and ljanis arranged a fight with Ocorge
Dixon, the wonderful colored fighter.
Dixon was regarded as Invincible and
the bout at tho old Broadway Athletlo
Club on January 9. 1900, attracted a
rV-cord crowd. Ho readily outclassed the
negro and won after eight rounds of
terrific lighting on the part of Mc
Govern.
In March of tho samo year he foutfit
Oscar Gardner and tho latter went down
to defeat In tho third round One of his "
gieaiest lights was with Krank nrne,
the lightweight champion. After much
discussion they agreed to light at 121 I
pounds. Bob Smith was Krno's manager, ,
and tho weight fixed apparently gave
Ilrno an advantage, in Smith's eatlma. ,
tlon. '
Ho also thought McGovcrn would ret J,
moe uui on mis point he was mistaken.
There never was a man that Terrv was
n
nfiald of. Harris grabbed tho match at ,
in..- cauicM pegging ot ."uctiovern. wnt
was a wonder, and whllo all agreed that i
Terry was a wonder himself, thev nrnU I
not see bow ho would bo able to whip
tho heavier and clever Krno. But oa f
.uiiy iu, j-joo, Terry showed how On
trick could bo turned.
