The states surrebuttal will be put on

SPORTS

Robert Fitzsimnons was given the
decision over George Gardner in
20-round prize fight at San Francisco
Of q mile Referee ere ' Gra lasei in an an
nouncing his decision said that it was
the worst fight he had ever seen, but.
that he was compelled to give the fight
/ to sFitZsim mons because he scored all
the knockdoWns and, landed the most
blows. To the 5000 sports present
the affair was about as exciting as a
boxing contest for points, and every
one except those who had money lip
OH Fitz was sorely disappointed.
Both men were Kissed frequently for
their sloverly work.
George Gardner weighed a shade
more than F'itzsiInn1ons, about l68
pounds, but the latter in spite Of his
50 years, was more than a a1natch for
his younger and stronger competitor.
Fitz Broke Knuckles.
The ancient Cornishman knocked
Gardner down several times, cut his
eye and laid his nose over on his
cheek, but failed to get a knockout.
He explained after the fight that he
had broken the knuckles of both
hands or else Gardner would have
been finished long before the twen-
tieth round. Fitz was wary and alert
and very rlinable on his feet, and kept
{ away from the young man. Gardner
| landed several times. but there was
no force In his blows. When Fitz
found this out he actually allowed
Gardner to hit him, SO that he could
| step in and land short
| It was plain to be seen that the old
man tired easily, and it was believed
| that Gardner would eventually wear
| him out, but Fitz kept out of danger.
Fitz used his famous left shift both on
| the head and the body. Often full
right sweeps would catch Gardner on
| the cheek and temple. In the old
/ days these blows would have meant
| knockouts, but Gardner has the rep
| utation Of being able to stand a, great
amount of punishment.
| Gardner Was Clumsy.
l! Gardner plainly showed that he
| was not championship material. He
/ was green and clumsy. He landed
| often enough, but his blows We're
mere taps. Both hands were used on
| the body, but Fitz took no notice of
I them.

GRAIN TRADE IS TIED UP

Special to The Journal.

j %
Winnipeg, Man. Nov. 2s.-The
farmers Of the Canadian west assert
that there is a great congestion in the
wheat market, and while the pro-
ducers are willing to sell and the con-
sumers to buy, business cannot be
transacted owing to the action of the
elevator men and the grain compa-
MES. The foregoing resume Of state
ments made by members Of the Muir
ply Grain Exchange was the topic of
discussion at an important meeting
OF the latter body yesterday. and a
committee was appointed to investi-
gate.
1t is asserted that the grain act and
a. shortage of cars for hauling wheat
are the main causes of the trouble.
The business men of Gainsboro also
petitioned the board of trade for as
sistance on the ground that the ele-
vators there remained closed and
Warehousemen refused to receive
wheat except No. l hard, on the
ground that the elevators were full
thus causing a great depression in
trade.
The board decided that such state
ments furnished ground for an inves-
tigation. The board also passed a res
olution in, favor of Cham berlains fis-
cal policy.
The resolution from the Halifax
board of trade, respecting the encour-
agement Of trade relations with Trim
dad, carried, and Herbert Strain, an
American, who is one of the commit
tee to press on congress the advisa-
btlity Of reciprocity with Canada, will
