HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1957-04-25, Page 7When Terrible , Terry Went Wild- Terry ild- Terry McGovern was a little poker-faced Irishman with a violent .temper and murder in his fists. Even his best friends whispered that he was "crazy" and that it was suicide to argue with him. In the ring, Terry was savage;, practically immune to punish- ment during the heat of battle. He fought like a charging bull, with lowered head, he ripped away at his terrified victims un - 111 they either dropped to the floor or quit. All of McGovern's fights were mall -sized wars. But the one that stands out above all the rest when it came to sheer wildness end brutality, was his three round slaughter of the clean-cut lightweight champion of the world, Frank Erne. It was 'a non -title bout. even . though both men held world championships; Terry was featherweight king. Before a sell-out crowd at Madison Square Garden, New York, on July 16, 1900, McGovern proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that ile was the greatest fighter, pound for pound, in the world. In fairness to the lightweight champion, however, it must be remembered that Sam Harris, McGovern's shrewd manager, in- sisted that Erne make 128 pounds. Considering that Frank's best fighting weight was '133, the peeling off of that extra five pounds weakened Erne consider- ably. Because of his sapped energy, Frank realized he would have to try for a quick. knock- out. He altered his normally brilliant defensive tactics to that -IDf a purely offensive slugger. But it was Terry who set the . pace and had the better of the argument from the very begin- ning. Only once for about a minute in the second round, did Erne appear to have a chance, and that was when he tried to box McGovern at long range and succeeded in landing a few left- Viand punches on Terry's nose and jaw. The little fellow was plainly trying to test Erne's punching capabilities prior to beginning the onslaught which eventually brought matters to a crisis: McGovern fully realized his inability to box with Erne. He knew that his only salvation lay in fighting aggressively and fiercely at all times, He pun- ished Erne badly in three rounds of fast fighting, splitting his nose, cutting his mouth apd doing terrible injurywith. body blows. Only the weight conditions can be offered as an excuse for Erne's defeat, but after the man- ner in which McGovern per- formed there is absolutely no doubt about ills ability to have beaten his opponent at any —weight. Terry never allowed Erne to haves moment in which to show his well-known cleverness and science, but he was on top of him; and after him at every stage of the game, rainingin blows that were simply marvel- ous in their power and irresist- ible in their effect. Erne used his left hand with the best re- sults, but thoughhe landed it flush upon the jaw and in the stomach on several occasions, it FAMILY CONCERN "To -morrow I've gota job sn my hands," Constable H.

BLOOD AND SAND — Impaled 'On one of the enraged bull's horns (top photo), Manuel Blasquez, apprentice matador, is hurledhighover the animal's head in a Madrid bull ring. Lower photo shows Blasquez, left thigh badly gored, after he crashed to the sand -covered ground with the bull still attacking him. The bull fighter was rescued, hurried to the hospital. had little or no effect upon Mc- Govern, who, in spite of every blow that Erne landed, kept charging back. The first round had scarcely begun when McGovern showed that he was the better hitter and the faster fighter. He rushed incessantly, using few straight blows, but depending principally on heavy swings which he aimed ' for the head. He put Erne upon - the defensive almost immediate- ly and drew the blood from Frank's nose. McGovern kept on with his relentless tactics and twice more pounded his man down until he was virtually helpless. Rather than risk the chance of having their man in- jured seriously, Erne's seconds interfered by throwing in the sponge, which under the cir- cumstances wasproper, writes George Roberts in The Police Gazette, The lightweight cham- pion was inconsolable over his, defeat and seemed disinclined to talk about the fight. To his intimate friends he said: "McGovern is 8 great fighter, the best the world has ever seen, and' under the conditions of this match 2 must acknowledge him my master. I was fairly whip- ped and that's all there is to it. The fruits of my years of fight- ing in the ring are gone, and I have been defeated by a lad who . is certainly strong and clever. Was I weak at the weight? Well, yes, I rather think I was. Mind you, I don't care to discuss or belittle Mc- Govern's victory. But all losers have excuses. T have only one, and that is that 1 undertook to do more than I could do. I only weighed 126% pounds today, and I did not have to try very hard to get to this scale, for I had little superfluous flesh to take off. I. was not in what I consider to be my best condi- tion. McGovern reached my jaw often, but it was the body blows that really licked me. "I do not care to assume Erne's title and defend it," said McGovern, "for I am a feather- weight and that is good enough just at present. 'If however, Mc- Fadden, O'Brien, Gans or any of the other lightweights want to fight me I will take any of them APPEALING — Comely Clemen- tine Drew is appealing to you and you and you to visit New York City this summer.

I weighted exactly 121 pounds when I got into the ring and was not as strong as have been in other contests. I went after Erne from thestart with the idea of beating him down, as I knew this was my best style of fighting. Still I did not expect to see the fight end so quickly, and am overjoyed at the result, Erne is a game fel- low and put up a hard fight. He did not knock me down in the first round . I slipped down and was not at all hurt. Erne hit me while I was in that position, but it was an accident and I would. not be justified in claiming any foul, I am going to take a good, long rest now."

GOrd0MSi11.t�h Why Grow Vegetables? We all know the old argu- ment about how much cheaper it is to buy vegetables, at 'the cor- ner store instead of growing them in our own garden. That may be -trues in some cases but just the same there is one thing that cannot be bought anywhere and -that is real garden. fresh- ness. To get top quality there ' is only one way. The vegetables must be grown right at the, kitchen:, door. The reason is simple. Most vegetables, and especially things like peas, corn, beans, car- rots and even spinach start to deteriorate within a few hours after they are picked. No matter how carefully we pack,they soon start to lose some of their garden freshness. Because this is so, many people even with tiny gar- dens, try to have a small plot for vegetables tucked away somewhere. And it is literally amazing how many good meals can be produced from a bit of land only a few yards each way. Of course where the garden is' small, we won't try to grow our winter's supply of potatoes, or very much ofthe bulky things like corn and squash. But even a 12 foot row of beans, spinach, carrots or beets will produce a lot. Most of these things can be grown in rows only a few inches apart and we can get more out of the plot by alternating rows of the bigger things like carrots, beets and beans with smaller things like lettuce, radish and onions. We can also have two crops, one early and One late, andwe can spread out the sow- ings so that something fresh and new will always be coming along. Try Something New The gardener who gets the most pleasure and value out of his flowers and vegetables is the explorer type. He is not content with just planting the same things year after year. True; he does stick with what he has found best and most suited to his own particular garden and tempera- ment but he also makes defin- ite practice of adding something new each spring. Before he com- . pletes his seed order, he scans the pages of the catalogue and selects at least one flow and one vegetable he has never tried before. In this way he adds fresh interest -each season and becomes acquainted with some valuable finds both among flowers and vegetables. It is'pos- sible, of course, to have a satis- factory and showy garden with the old favorites and standbys, like nasturtiums, alyssum and petunias and zinnias among the flowers and peas, carrots, beans, beets, corn, lettuce and radish in the vegetable garden. But, by confining ourselves to these alone, we are missing a lot of, pleasure and a lot of fine meals. There are at least 25 different vegetables that can be grown in almost any garden in Can- ada and probably a hundred Cowers. Power Saves Backs „ In recent years, as suburban gardens have become larger and small motorized equipment more. efficient and fool -proof, there has been an enormous increase in. the use of power garden equip- ment. Power mowers, small garden tractors are not at all expensive and they eliminate a lot of tedious hand work. As well they are interesting to tinker with and operate. Equipped with these, one can look after an acre or so of lawn and half an acre of vegetable garden and still have plenty of time for fishing, golfing, or loafing. With power equipment as well as hand variety, it is important to get something suitable. Too many people seem to think the bigger the better. They forget that . large tractors and wide power mowers may be more dif- ficult to handle especially in turning. In stead of getting a tractor big enough to plow, it is usually better to get some- thing smaller and easier to handle and hire someone with a standard tractor to do the once - a -year plowing job.
