ROOT IS DEFEATED
Gardner Wins Bloody Battle in the
Seventeenth Round.
BODY PUNCHES DO THE WORK
Roots Left Hand Is Broken. EARLY
in Fight, but He Gamely
Keeps On.

The calculations of the experts were
upset last night at Salt Lake City when
George Gardner put Jack Root down and
out in the seventeenth round of bloody
battle.
Both men were pounded hard and both
showed great gameness under punish
ment. Gardner early found Roots weak
spot-the stoma ch-and directed his blows
at this point.
Gardner was very tired in the twelfth
and thirteenth rounds, but came up fresh
again in the f1fteeth round, and, disre-
garding Roots jabs on his cut and bleed
ing face, put his head between his shoul-
ders like Terry 'McGovern and bored In
Root was in distress in an INST Half
a dozen rights ana lefts squarely In the
pit of the stomach brought him to his
knees near the ropes, the gong saving
him. Root went down again in the six
teenth round from a left hook on the
chin, which all but. put him in dream
land. The end came in the next round.
Gardner, paying no attention to Root S
swings, rushed his man to the ropes, plant
ed his left and right on the stomach, and
Root went down gasping for breath: Root
got up, only to go down again, and the
third time he struggled to his feet. Gard
ner was on him like flash. Working his
right and left like piston rods, Gardner
fairly oaved in Roots ribs, and the latter

! on his back. He was not out, but evil
IDENTIFY utterly unable to defend himself,
and his seconds saved him from further
useless punishment by throwing up the
sponge.
After the fight it was declared that Root
broke his left hand in the second round of
the contest. Gardner ran In on q left
swing, Roots lead landing on the back
Of his opponents head. A compound frac-

Marvin Hart, Of Louisville, was given
| the decision over Billy Stiff, of Chicago
after six rounds Of awkward fighting at
Chicago last night. Both men appeared
very tired at the end of the fight.
Hart's showing was a disappointment
as it was expected he would have little
trouble in disposing Of Stiff. Neither
man was able to judge distance accurately
and as result the majority Of the blows
delivered went wide Of the mark. Neither
man was punished to any great extent.

CURE SOCIAL EVIL
Chancellor Andrews Advocates
Football as Best Remedy. u
HE is, APPLAUDED BY Co-EDs
Students Of Chicago University In
d1orse Views of the Head .l,z
of Nebraska. 500 ,* A.

Football is e. BENZ. Andrews newest
cure for the social evil. The chancellor
of Nebraska university believes that as
preventive of vice the gridiron sport is
the panacea. ->
For more than week the chancellor
of Nebraska university has been trying
to tell the students Of the university Of
Chicago what means will best cure the
social evil. From his idea for luxurious
prison surrounded by the lake, and for a
tug to carry the "unfortunates' out Of the
city, he changed to the idea of licensing
every vicious woman" in the great
cities. i "
He believes now that football is the
best of all the cures, and he was loudly
applauded yesterday by both co-eds and
gridiron warriors when he advanced his
new idea. -
when I see young man able to prac-
tice every day and keep his place on the
eleven" he said. II feel sure that he is
not going to lean far toward the social
vices. When I hear a mother protest
against her son playing football, I cannot
| help but feel sorry for her. It will not
only make her boy strong and vigorous In
body but will protect him from many of
the vices that young men take up"

PEAT FOR FUEL
A Valuable Hint for People In the
West.

New York, Aug. 1s.-Successful tests
have just been made at the turf or bog Of
the New Jersey lowlands about West
New York to ascertain whether it can
be used as substitute fuel in place Of
coal or coke for, the winter sea-
son. Ex-Aiderman o. F. Auf der
Heider, inspector Of sewer work
in West New. York, and John Kel-
ly, an expert on Irish peet dug up great
chunks of the turf and took them to a
blacksmith. 1t was found to burn readily
on the forge after it once had become dry.
1t turned to redder glow and seemed
to hold it's fire as long as anthracite or
soft coal when once kindled. '.z
There is an almost unlimited supply of
the turf, or Jersey peet, as they are be-
ginning to style it in the vicinity Of
West New York. Along the tracks of the
Hudson Heights street railroad to tbs
south and east for more than mile the8
is widespreading meadow of it.
