Tribute to McGovern Benefit Draws Large New York Crowd
A New York benefit for Terry McGovern in Madison Square Garden drew over 15,000 attendees, with nearly 5,000 expected to be realized in proceeds. William A. Brady auctioned six portraits of McGovern for charity, one resold for McGovern’s former foe George Dixon, now penniless. The program mixed boxing, wrestling, and vaudeville, featuring stars such as Spike Robson, Mike Sullivan, Harlem Tommy Murphy, Patsy Haley, and many others, with referees including Sint Huret and Tom Charkey. Telegrams from out of town, including John L. Sullivan, boosted the drive.

Debt from Card Game Not Chargeable, Baltimore Verdict
A Baltimore jury in the United States Circuit Court ruled that a debt contracted in a card game need not be paid. Stephen Van Wyck, a New York clubman and lawyer, sued the estate of Harry R. Vonderhorst for 9229.25, alleging the loan followed a loss at the Hoffman Club in New York over two years ago. The case traced Vanderhorst’s wealth fluctuations and frequent Hoffman Club visits where the loan was made. The verdict favored not enforcing the debt.
