EVEN MONEY Is OFFERED.
No Favorite Has Been Named in the
ROot-Gardner Fight.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BUFFALO, N. Y, June 27.-Although the
bout does not take place until next Saturday
afternoon. both Root and Gardner are in
condition to go into the ring at a moments
notice and box twenty rounds at a record
breaking clip. A representative of the Jour-
nal visited the men at their respective
training quarters yesterday and after
watching them go through their course of
physical development, felt satisfied that
they are already In the pink of condition.
He also interviewed them and when asked
what they thought of the probable result,
each of them assured him that on the after
noon of July he would be the possessor of
the title Of light heavyweight champion of
the world.
This contest promises to be the fastest
and most scientific ever witnessed between
two boxers in this country, and clean-cut
victory for either one means that he is Sec
ond only to Jeff-ies, as to reputation and
more important at the weight, for he will
have to defend his title against a number
conceded by all sporting men throughout
this country that. at the present time. there
is no heavyweight boxer who has an equal
chance with Jeffries.
That the Root-Gardner bout is by far the
best ever booked by the International Ath-
letic Club is attested to by the applications
the management is receiving for tickets
from all parts of the United States aud
Canada. Among the cities that will run
special excursion for the contest are Chi
troit Cleveland and Indianapolis. Betting
on the result of the contest is getting more
spirited as the day Of the battle approaches
and a large number of wagers have been
recorded at the local sporting resorts with
in the last two days, even money being the
ruling price.

MOWATT Will BOX HERE
MATCHED TO MEET PETE BOYLE AT

Henderson and Qainn Will Furnish

There will be plenty of sport in Indian
apolis on July 4, next Saturday. With the
big races at the fair grounds in the after
noon and a first-class boxing carnival at
the Empire Theater in the evening the Wis
itors to the city and the Indianapolis peo-
pie will find plenty of entertainment.
The Indianapolis Athletic Club will offer

next carnival. Young Mowatt, the fight
ing conductor" of Chicago, and Pete Boyle.
the main bout of ten rounds for decision.
Young Mowatt is now one Of the top-notch-
ers in the featherweight division and is
ready TO fight Young Corbett for that title
or meet Terry McGovern or any Of the other
men in the top-notch class for purse and
side bet. Since he met Eddie Santry in In
dianapolis last summer, Young Mowatt has
taken rapid strides toward the top Of the
ladder and has defeated nearly all of the
best ones. A victory over Young Corbett is
the only thing that stands between him and
the championship.
Boyle is not a newcomer, but he is not
a ''has been" by any means. He gave up
active fighting about year ago,
but since he has re-entered the
ring, ne is said TO De just as
good as he ever was in his life and he is
regarded as one of the best men In his
class. His record shows that he has de-
feated many of the top-notchers, including
Eddie Santry, McFadden, Sullivan and
others in that class, while he has held his
own with such men as Kid Broad and other
well-known featherweights.
The club has also matched Kid Hender-
son, the clever little Indianapolis bantam
weight boxer, for six-round bout for a
decision with George Quinn, of Chicago.
They will furnish the semi windup to the
Mowatt- Boyle contest Henderson and
Quinn will meet at lis pounds. weight
that both boys should be able to make
without much trouble. They have posted
forfeits to weigh in at 8 o'clock on the after
noon of the bout. Henderson has met and
defeated all the boys in his class in this
city, and his recent victory over Kid Bruno
won him many admirers in this city. Quinn
boxed with Johnny Ruse, of Chicago, at
the Cyclorama last April. Quinn is re-
garded as one of the best boxers of his
weight in Chicago, but the friends of Hen
derson believe the Indianapolis lad is clever
enough to win the decision.
The usual two preliminaries of four
rounds each will be given and some clever
lads will be brought together for these
bouts.

WATKINS SECURES A GOOD PLAYER
TO FILL O'BRIEN'S PLACE.
Marcan Will Join the Team at Once
Columbus Here Tomorrow and
Tuesday-Baseball Notes.

Manager Watkins yesterday signed Short
stop Marcan TO fill the vacancy on the
Indianapolis team caused by the injury to
Peter OBrien. Marcan will join the team
at once and will probably play in to-mor-
rows game.
Marcan played with St. Paul last season
and was loaned to Toledo this season. Man
ager Watkins made arrangements with
Strobei, whereby Marcan will wear an In
dianapOlis uniform.
o Brien will hardly be able to play again
this season. Woodruff could be used at
short, but he is needed as Change catcher
and general utility man.
XXX
Indianapolis and Toledo will play to-days
game at Muncie. The teams will leave on
special car at o'clock this morning and
large crowd of rooters will go to Muncie
on the special interurban train at ii o'clock.
Williams will probably pitch for Indian
apoliS.
Two postponed games will be played with
Columbus at Washington Park Tomorrow
and Tuesday. The games will give Indian
apolis chance to even matters for the
two defeats here last week Two victories
from Columbus and to-day's victory at
Muncie, will put Indianapolis right in line
for step nearer the top of the ladder.
Milwaukee will soon drop back into the
ranks and st. Paul might be headed before
long.
1t seemed like fate that OBrien should
be so seriously hurt at this time. He has
been playing exceptionally fast ball for In
dianapolis and has been hitting as we'll as
any one on the team. Marcan will prob
ably make good at short, but it will be
several days before the team plays to-
gether like 1t did with O'Brien in the
game.
1t Is evident that Garry Hermann is
quite peevish over the way he thinks he
has been sighted by the other National
League magnates. Hermann was all right
as long as he was called THE Iron Prince"
but since wiser heads have seen fit to do
things he doesn't approve of, he is telling
Cincinnati papers that his club might be
frozen out of the National League.
