An Unknown Went on Will
Gardner for Exercise.
After Trying the Game, He Is
Less thusiastic.
WILL CUT OUT BOXING.
Stepped in the Ring Full of Con-
fidence in Himself.
A Big Crowd Enjoyed the Per-
formance Heartily.

Cincinnati May Am unknown
heavyweight boxer called on George
Gardner at his training quarters in the
Norwood Inn yesterday and asked per
mission to put on the gloves with the
man who expects 10 beat Marvin Hart
next Wednesday, night at Louisville.
Gardner being. an accommodating young
fellow, granted the strangers request
and for few minutes the large crowd
present enjoyed a good laugh.
The unknown evidently thought pref
ty well of himself. as he walked into
the training quarters with his chest ex-
panded several inches He watched
John Kramer and Gardner box three
rounds, and then went into the dress
ing room to put on his fighting toys. He
was about ready to walk out and face
Gardner when he noticed that Kramer's
nose was bleeding. How did you get
that bloody nOse2's he asked OF Kramer.
as look of terror overspread his coun-
tenance. "Oh, that's nothing, replied
Kramer You can't be a boxer II your
nose does not bleed once in a while.
The fellow was ready to throw up his
job right then and there, but friends
persuaded him TO go on, and in few
minutes his nerve came back to him
and he went out to take his medicine.
Gardner fooled around with him in
the first round and did not try to hit
hard, while the unknown was swinging
away with all his force trying to knock
Gardner into dreamland. Not so hard.
said Gardner. intending to give the
novice more confidence. You know 1
have TO fight next week and do not care
to have my block knocked Oft" This
little warning seemed to give the
stranger more confidence, and in his
volley Of wild swings he accidentally
hit Gardner on the nose. The blow was
a hard one and shook Gardner up, but
the round ended without any damage
being done.
IN the next round Gardner pulled
away from a couple of hard smasEes
and then shot out a straight right that
caught the novice unawares and almost
lifted him off his feet It was then that
the unknown began TO weaken. He
Rugged, Chnched and begged for his
life. while Gardner pretended TO be ex-
cited and kept swinging for the fellows
head. He was terror stricken. and if
he had been possessed of q pair of wings
he would have taken to the skies with
out a seconds delay
Every now and then he would make
an attemptsso land a bf6w, but Gardner
scared him off by letting OUT a grunt
and pulling back as though to land a
blow that would have carried death ana
destruction in its path. Time was fin
ally called, and the unknown, who was
out for heavy weight honors, heaved a
sigh of relief and hurried back into the
dressing room and fell into chair. His
ambition to become a fighter was gone,
and he wanted no more of Gardner's
game.
