Oscar Gardner, better known as the "omaha
Kid. :" received tho decision over Jack 0'Brien
of tbis city In q flfteen.round bout at tho Polo
A. G. last night. Gardner outclassed 0'Brien as
far as cleverness was concerned, but the latter
showed q capacity for taking punishment that
was wonderful. II Gardner had good hands and
was a harder hitter IL, is probable that tho fight
would have ended much sooner. The Kid had
no trouble in avoiding o. OBrien's attacks. and hit
him when and whore ho pleased. Tho majority
OF spectators, who were "rooting" for o'Brien,
yelled loudly for a draw, but Referee Foloy's
verdict was q good one.
Jimmy johnson and Jimmy Delaney, both Of
this city, figured In the opening bout Of six
rounds at 10 pounds. Delaney landed two
good lefthand swings in the first round on
Johnson's face. but in tho second and third
rounds johnson worked straight lefts in on
Dclanoy's nose, and had the latter bleeding
freely. In the fourth round Delaney put his
right heavily on tho body, but in the remaining
rounds johnson outpointed his opponent and
got the decision.
Another six.round affair at 14o pounds, be-
tween H rry Peterson and Tom McGovern, two
local b0xor5, followed. tOr three rounds Mo
Govern had no trouble in landing at will on
Harry's head. Peterson putting UP no defence
whatever for that part of his body. In the
fourth round McGovern varied his style little.
and worked tattoo on Peterson's body. The
lattor was clearly out OF sh pc, and fought
poorly. McGovern was the winner.
There was a good-sized crowd present when
OBrien and Gardner entered tho ring. They
met at 12i pounds. Both bo 8 were In good
condition, hut O'Brien appeared to be slightly
heavier. The first round was in Oscars favor,
as he uppercut Jack on the body several times
and got away from O'Briens rushes. O'Brien
did most of the leading in the second
cleverly warded his blows off, Tho thir,i and
fourth rounds were pretty even. with O'Brien
still doing most OF the leading. Gardner coun-
tered il return. The latter was the aggressor
and landing both left and right on tho body.
tn sixth round was also In favor OF G ,rdner
but O'Brien was ghting back gamely. Oscars
defence was nearly perfect. Gardner drew first
on the mouth and then swung his left around
to the jaw.
Gar tner began the ninth round with a rush,
sending left.hand uppercut to the wind. He

last round began with rush. O'Brien was
badly cut up. but he was still strong, and mixed
