ALL EYES ON GARDNER.

as Jeff's Rival.

from Fort Erie, where he lost his nghl
to George Gardner in twelve rounds.
He bears few exposed marks Most or
the shoulder line. His point of attack
was Roots stomach and he executed
terrible damage there
Among fighting men around town 1t
is common talk that Root was Wy light
in this battle, having worried himself
practically out of the fight. If this is
the case and it appears to many to be
near the truth line, it will explain to
Roots large following his weak defense
of jaw and body. Accounts of the fight
show Gardner up in a wonderful light
and his form is far beyond that dis
played in his other fights with Root
ssThey tell me Root was down to 100
mounds ringside weight" said one man.
whatever weight Root fought at, he
was clearly not the Root that House
man took west with him They say his
right was practically useless and had
none of the sting behind it when he did
send it out The left had lost much of
punch was Roots best. 1t is no wonder
Gardner early learned to disregard
Roots blows and some on and give and
take as he did. The wonder is that he
did not finish up the Chicago boy
earlier"
gard Gardner al wonder and conner
of strong proportions Should he take
on weight he will beat everything this
side of Jeffries, it is said, and should
the big Californian take to the pleasing
ways of life Gardner may get to him.
Gardner personally is as quiet man
as ever aspired for pugilistic honors-
He is much of a student of the game,
hard worker and talks little of himself
or his game.

est, when Cornelius ]. Sullivan. counsel
for the New York baseball club, will
make application before the supreme
court for an Injunction restraining FL
berfeld from playing with the American
league team in this city. The argument
will be based upon the contract which
the New York National club has with
the invader shortstop. 1t will be con-
tended that Elberfeld was T~ssed on to
Detroit by the New York nationals in
order to avoid any friction under the
terms of the peace agreement. as was
Davis to Chicago. and that now. since
the American league has declared itself
against the National President Brush
