One Of the three defeats that Gard
ner has suffered since hisreturn from
England VAS received at the hands
OF Joe Walcott on Sept. 10, 1901. at
san Francisco. The decision was
rendered against Gardner after 90
rounds Of fighting, but he disputed it
vigorously.
Gardncr's great battles of last
year were with Jack Root. The CHI
easo man won M their first meeting
on foul In the seventh round The
reports agree that Root was entitled
TO The eight, but Gardner never

Root again. and then came the fight
at salt Lake City. where Gardner

GEORGE GARDNER UNDOUBTEDLY A GREAT pUGILIsT

George Gardner. by his clean de-
feat OF Jack Root, now stands out
by himself In the light heavyweight
division. lie has as firm a hold on
he title as Jehries 10 the division
above. He liz undoubtedly a re-
markable fighter. with more clever
ness than ne was credited with hav-
ing. As a hitter he is q marvel and
can stand all kinds Of punishment
without showing the white flag.
The story Of his defeat Of Root is
already an old one, but the gossip
OF the mill has been renewed by an
exhibition Of the pictures OF the en-
counter. says Malachy Hogan. The
pictures only serve to emphasize
Gardeners superiority over Root

not the ones that had anything to do
with the termination OF the bout in
Gardeners favor.
