In ELDoRA, Iowa, the police officials using
boodhounds to track criminals Of course the
hounds may satisfactorily perform their duty; but
by their employment the officers expose their utter
lack of acumen and fitness for that position. AS
soon as several innocent individuals have been
chewed by these vicious animals then may expect
to hear of protest from the civilized members OF
society.

of Mccoy and backing Sharkey they
are doubtless doing it in order to keep

possible. 1t is very likely that no i'm

surrounded the Corbett-Sharkey fight

OSCAR GARDENERS Def.

New York Journal
To the Sporting Editor:
l wish to state in your paper that
win or lose my coming battle with
Dave Sullivan on the 9th, I am will
ing to defend the 116-pound class, of
which l am champion, against any
one in the world.
| think it very strange that Sullivan
would only box me at catch weight
when he offers to do the feather
weight limit for George Dixon, and I,
by boxing him at catch weights, am
giving him at the very least ten or
twelve pounds the best of it.
Should I win or lose this contest
with Sullivan | am open to meet any
man in the world from 116 to 122
pounds for $4,000 or any part, George
Dixon preferred.

New York, January 9.-The fight be-
tween Oscar Gardner, the Omaha Kid,
and Dave Sullivan, of Ireland, ended
disastrously for the latter in the
seventeenth round before the Lenox
Athletic Club tonight. Sullivan
seemed full of fight when the seven
teenth round opened and went right
after his man. In a clinch the legs
OF both boxers became entangled and
Sullivan fell to the floor. The moment
he got up Gardner planted two fearful
right SWINGS on his head and put the
freshman down and out with wild
lett hand swing which landed nush on
Sullivan's mouth. All three or the
blows were delivered within ten sec
onds, and the last one sent sullivan
in the land of nod for the first time
in his ring career. Gardner legs
were in anything but good shape, but
despite Sullivans efforts to make him
use them, the Kid refused to be coaXed
into the sprinting and saved himself
for the supreme effort when the time
arrived. Gardner waited frequently
for Sullivan to go to him and would
either lead or get inside Sulllvan's
leads and counter hard. These tactics
puzzled Sullivan and at times ratified
him SO that he showed unmistakable
1igns of having lost his temper. Sui
ivan was beaten fairly and squarely,
Ind there were no excuses made when
The bout was over.
If the attendance tonight can be
taken as an indication of that which
will visit the big arena to witness the
McCoy-Sharkey bout tomorrow night,
then a crowded house will surely see
the contest for the heavyweight hon
Drs From the moment that the doors
of the club house were thrown open
tonight, a steady stream of patrons
passed through the turnstiles, and by
the time the preliminary bout was put
on there were over six thousand peo-
pie in the house.
The men were billed for twenty
five round bout at catch weights.
Gardner said he weighed 1201a pounds
and Sullivan's seconds said that Dave
was five pounds heavier.
After the men had donned the
gloves the betting took a turn in
Gardeners favor, $4,000 being laid on
him at 100 to 80. They shook hands
at $50 O'Clock.
Round mo damage done.
Round 2-Sullivan swung a left on
the head, staggering Gardner. Dave
followed with az left on the face and
repeated the blow. Then Gardner
drove his right to the body. Dave
sent his left across to the head and
swung his right to the jaw. Gardner
broke ground and Sullivan went after
him, catching him over the kidneys
with his right.
Round 3-Much fighting at close
quarters.
Round4-Light sparring with honors
even.
Round 5-Nothing of consequence
took place.
Round 6-Gardner rushed Dave to
the ropes and sent cullivan's head
against the post with left hand chop
At close quarters Sullivan landed left
on head and right on body, and Gard
ner shot back hard left on Dawes
face.
Round Gardner seemed a bit weak
on his legs, and Sullivan jumped
around a good deal in order to make
Gardiner legweary, but Oscar did not
fall to the trick. Gardiner landed a
