TO SPAR in BUTTE

ton at the Grand opera house and WI

travels by his sparring partner, Martin,

here will be with his sparring partner,
in the event that he cannot find local
man who will be willing to meet him for
a limited number of rounds.
Rubin would rather take on lcca1

ing for hard work at present and does
not attempt to disguise the fact that he
is after revenue for the defraying OF his
travelling and training expenses.

sizing up his opponent as rank out
sider became a persistent aggressor.
Dundon on the other hand depended
principally on his weight to overcome
the plucky little fellow. He was slow to
take advantage of an opportunity and
appeared to be out of place. 1t was the
old story of science winning out against
brute strength.
Harris won the first hitch easily and
the second in the same fashion with all
points down. In the second go Dundon
repeatedly fOuled Harris and was warm
ed by Referee Norman Charles. On the
second hitch of the bout after Harris
had secured a strangers hold Dundon
deliberately fouled to escape punish
ment.
The decision rendered at this point
was eminently popular. Harris was Sec
onded by James Hogan and Mike Willie

by Alternately and Parker.

The eyes of the pugilistic world are
centered on San Francisco. There Tues
light weight ahtmthm thin IN -
night Terry McGovern, champion light
weight of the world will attempt to
again defeat Oscar Gardner. of Omaha.
The mill will be the greatest of it's class
of the season and promises to be a hard
fought battle, striking in contrast to the
exhibition recently pulled off in Chicago
when the doughty Terry was made to
make Joe GAM look like thirty cents.
McGovern, of course, has the call over
Gardner. That is due in the main, to his
performance when he got the decision
over the Omaha boy Gardner, however.
has a great following and his friends
declare he will give McGovern the hard
est tussle of his life.
Those same friends claim that it will be
no surprise to them if the Omaha boy
gets the decision. They back up their
claim with the argument that at one time
during the previous fight Gardner had
McGovern out for more than the time
limit.
Gardner says he will fight the battle of
his life and will SHOW conclusively that
he is as good at in and fast fighting as
McGovern The champion says he has a
great deal of respect for the Omaha boy
but will be able to put him out.
That McGovern does respect the fight
ing ability of the boy he once defeated
is evidenced by his method of living. He
is taking no chances and as conse-
auence has kept himself we'll. He evil as
usual be as fit as can be when he enters
the ring to defend the championship he
has so successfully held.
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1901-04-26

Gardner on the other hand has nothing
to lose but everything to gain. If he
should lose the fight Tuesday night 1t
will only be the repition of a former
downfall and the wise ones will of course
be up with their Il told you So
Should Gardner win, however. he will
have demonstrated that he has not only
greatly improved since he last met Nc
Govern, hut that he is the greatest light
weight fighter of his day. For no one
can truthfully say today that McGovern
is not as good as he ever was. To whip
McGovern a fighter must be great.
After the go with Gardner, McGovern
has plenty of hard work cut out for him.
He viii on May Is, give Frank Erne an
other go, and later on will try conclu-
sions with Young Corbett in Denver.
About the Erne fight there is little to say.
Erne took on the Brooklyn boy not long
enough ago to forget about it and after
contracting to stop the little fellow, sur
prised himself and friends by going down
and out.
If McGovern's fight with CAM had
been as much on the level as many sports
would like to believe. there would be no
difficulty in getting line on the coming
event. But the GAM fight is another
story.
When McGovern meets Young Corbett
he will take on game proposition. Cor
bett is hard fighter, has lots of science
for a youngster of his experience, is
somewhat lacking in ring generalshlp
but carries hard punch tucked up in
either arm. He can stand lots of pun
ishment and is game to the core.
His signal victory over Bernstein in
Denver, recently, clearly demonstrated
his worth and though he may not do
against McGovern his presence in the
ring will be noticeable.
McGovern is also scheduled to take on
either Bernstein or Tim Callahan. They
may stay for more than four rounds.

was sent up from Kansas City for lar
ceny, Turner defended himself. He
did the same in the trial of which lam

too, Turner made his plea.

That crime Gentlemen, my old fa.h-
er lies buried OH the hills Of New

that godly old man was on his death
bed, he put his hand on my head and
said: My boy yon have always been
my stay and my comfort, never do
anything to di digracc your old father $

choking, but he continued; And it
was not many years ago that my saint

whispered: My boy, as yon pass

temptations, remember that your
old mother is watching you. Gentle

Turner was quite overcome with
his emotions, but back in the court
room was his brother-in- law, and
he turned to me and said with
smile:
: Did you hear that fellow? Why,

which the sentiment game was made n
little too strong.
