GARDNER WAS ROBBED

OF the Decision Before the Lenox A. c.. in
His right With Dixon.
1t is not very sportsmanlike to cry
fraud when you get an adverse de-
cision in boxing contest, but when all
authorities agree that an unjust ver-
dict has been rendered, pugilist may
complain without being accused OF
doing the baby act Oscar Gardner,
and all his friends, claim that Dick
Roche's decision Tuesday night was
unjust. That might have been an ex-
cuse for defeat, but when all the New
York dailies take the same position,
their complaint appears to be justified.
Kilian Bader and Winnie Winder,
who returned from New York yester-
day, state that Gardner had the better
of his opponent and should have had
the decision. When Gardner went to.
his corner at the close of the twenty
third round, his seconds advised him to
try to finish Dixon I've got cinch
on the decision was the Kids reply.
whats the use of taking a long
chance" The decision was Kissed and
it looked for time like Roche would
be mobbed. Gardner went to ORourke
and asked him if he regarded the de-
cision as fair Getting a reply in the
affirmative he simply looked at
O'Rourke speechless with amazement.
After it was all over he wept like a
child.
The New York Telegraph, one of the
leading sporting authorities OF the
city, said in big headlines next morn
ing: Gardner, the Omaha Kid Rob-
bed by Referee Dick Roche of his Just
Victory Over George Dixon. Tom

Large Throng of Disguised Sporting
Men" The article was in keeping
with the headlines.
The Sun, which some time ago roast
ed Gardner, finds that he is Dixon's
equal as a boxer and fighter The
Journal states that Gardner was
strong, capable of going miles further,
practically uninjured. unbeaten," but
thinks he was slightly outpointed.
''The Kisses were as loud as the
cheers" says Right Cross. Other pa
pers take virtually the same position.

Este, July 1D.-At $50 this morning,
after several range-fnding shots over
the ridge protecting Santiago from the
sea, the United States cruiser Newark
opened fire into the city with her S-inch
guns.
The signal corps officers stationed on
top of the ridge reported the effect of
the shots.
The New York, Brooklyn and Indiana
participated in the firing, at intervals
OF five minutes.
The bombardment lasted for two
hours, when General Shafter reported
that the shells were mostly falling in
the bay ana doing but little damage.
The last shot, however, struck a prom
inent church in the heart of the city,
which was heavily stored with powder
and ammunition, causing a tremendous
explosion. The extent of the damage is
not yet known.
When the warships ceased firi.!g, and
before General Shafter had begun a
land attack, a flag of truce was seen
coming from the city.
The object of this was not known at
noon today.

AND ALL BUT TWENTY-FIVE WENT DOWN
Captain Ducat and Lieutenant Lyon, Who Led the Assault
Are Seriously Wounded.

Atlanta, Ga, July 1.-Two hundred
and thirty-five sick and wounded sol
diers reached the general hospital at
Fort Mcpherson today from Tampa,
Among them are several of the Rough
Riders and many members of the
Seventh-first New York.
The most seriously wounded are Cap
tain Ducat and Lieutenant Lyon of
the Twenty-fourth infantry, whose
families are now at Salt Lake. Utah.
The doctors are much encoura ged
by the condition of the men and say
they will recover.
Captain Ducat is shot through the
thigh and his right leg is partly par
alyZed. Propped up on a cot, he told
the Associated Press representative a
story of the bitter fight which resulted
in the wounding of himself and Lieu
tenant Lyon and the loss of many pri-
Yates.
On the first day of the fighting near
FL Caney, the captain and lieutenant,
with 70 men, set out to capture a stone
house on the top Of steep hill.
Safely housed behind the stone walls
the SpaniardS poured in a murderOus
fire on the plucky Americans as they
entered the narrow path leading up the
hill.
Step by step the men forged ahead
their comrades falling every minute.
By the time the top of the hill was
reached, but p of the band remained.
With a shout they forced their way
into the coveted stronghold and in a
desperate handto-hand fight with re-
vOlvers succeeded in scattering the
Spaniards.
