San Francisco dispatch reports a boxing scandal centered on Benny Britt and Joe Gans. The article cites no written evidence, branding Gans a self-styled fakir who misled friends and promoters. Britt faces calls to bar Gans for life if evidence proves deceit. Nelson’s weight loss and burlesque life affect his form ahead of Britt match plans.

Prize Fighters and the Curious Career of Terrence McGovern
Terrence McGovern began his ring career by whipping his younger brother at four. By seven he challenged George Dixon and at nine he sailed before the mast, crossing the Hudson to Jersey City during a calm day amid a ter ric storm. He later became a pewsboy, amateur boxer, and fighting partner, claiming status as a featherweight champion and aiming for lightweight glory while training for a bout with Nelson. Born in Brooklyn, he shifted from stage work to boxing, with his portrait painted on scenery after leaving the company. He once held much of the country’s cash reserves before losing it, a tale offered as a caution on a sad world and dwindling fortunes.
