Zurich Herald, 1957-04-18, Page 7When Terrible Terry Went Wild 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 bulk, with lowered head, he ripped away at his terrified victims un- til they either dropped to the floor or quit. All of McGovern's fights were small -sized wars. But the one that stands out above all the rest when it came to sheer wildness and 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; Ter r y 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 he 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 of a purely offensive slugger. But it was Terry who set the pace and had the better of the ,argument from the very begin - sling. 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 lef t - band 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 and doing terrible injury with body blows. Only the weight conditions can be offered as an excuse for Erne's defeat, but after the man- lier in which McGovern per- formed there is absolutely no doubt about ihs ability to have beaten his opponent at any weight. Terry never allowed Erne to have a 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, raining. in blows that were simply marvel- ous in their power and irresist- ible in their effect. Erne used kis left hand with the best re- sults, but though he landed it flush upon the jaw and in the stomach on several occasions, it FAMILY CONCERN •- "To -morrow I've got. a job an my hands," Constable H.

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 was proper, 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 a great fighter, the best the world has ever seen, and under the conditions of this match i must acknowledge hien 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. I have Only one, and that is that I undertook to do more than I could do. I only weighed 1261/0 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. Why? Because that's her. job as "Tourist Queen of 1957." on at 128 pounds, ringside, the same conditions that prevailed to -night. 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 the start . with the idea of beating him down,. as I knew this was my best stylr, 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 1 would not be justified in claiming any foul. I am going to take a good, long rest now." - You don't HAVE to drive 50 in a 50 -mile -an -hour zone.

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 true in some cases but just the same there is one thing tOat cannot be bought anywhere Arid that is real garden fresh - #ss. To get top quality there ;,;only one way. The vegetables . _fist be grown right at the chen.door. R, e reason is simple. Most vegetables, and especially t Bogs like peas, corn, beans, car- s and even spinach start to eteriorate within a few hours ter they are picked. No matter how carefully we pack, they soon start to lose some of their garden ,freshness. Because this is so, Oniony people even with tiny gar stens, :try to have a small plot F- vegetables tucked away Qmewhere. And it is literally azing how many good meals be produced from a bit of lid only a few yards each way. a (''course where the garden is all, we won't try to grow our nter's supply of potatoes, or ry much of . the bulky things 'e corn andsquash. But even 12 foot row of beans, spinach, ots, or beets will produce a Most of these things can be wn in rows only a few inches rt and we can get more out ,,the plot by alternating rows %'the bigger things like carrots, r;l eets and beans with smaller tidings like lettuce, radish and onions.: V[e can also have two chips, one early and one late, .and we 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 withjust 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- rrent,. but , he also makes defin- ite practice ofadding. something Ow each spring. Before he com- R'etes his seed order, he scans c pages sof the catalogue' and elects :tit least one flow and Yr vegetable'he has nevertried 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 ,m 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 `,iti almost any garden in Can- lawersan,d probably a hundred tl'o POwer Saves Backs In recent years, as suburban . gardens' have become larger and na11 motorized equipment more, cient and fool -proof, there ,,sbeen an enormous increase in ",,s been of power garden equip- est. Power mowers, small Arden tractors are not at all ijxpensive and they eliminate a. tof 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 .~ower mowers may be more dif- fj' tilt 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.
