a match, none of the managers have it

was danger of Gardner being signed to
fight Britt before one of the San Fran

and dictated the following:
L notice by the papers where one of
the San Francisco clubs is talking
about giving Jimmy Gardner a match
with Jimmy Britt. Well, it seems
strange to me that any of the clubs
out there would give fellow like
Gardner match after the way he
WEIGHED out of his match with Cans,
which was to take place in San Fran
cisco last September.
Every sporting man in the coun-
try knows that Gardner signed articles
to meet Cans and the weight and di-
vision of the purse was all settled upon
but at the last minute this same Jim
my Gardner got cold feet and DELHI
erately crawled out of the match.
Just to show the sporting public
what think of Jimmy Gardner l will
agree to let Cans box him at any
weight he names providing he will box,

OF at least $4,000 on the side. but this
Is the only way that I will ever give
Gardner match. l will never give

the TENNESSEE BUILDING.

The Tennessee Worlds Fair AS
sociation, has issued the following
appeal for aid in behalf of the
State building at st. Louis:
"To allow the Tennessee build
ing to remain closed for the want
of a,few paltry dollars will mean
humiliation and disgrace.
."There are. nearly eighty coun-
ties in the State which have not
contributed a dollar, and others
which have given only trifing
Sums.
"To reach the masses who have
thus far given nothing, the Ten
nessee Worlds Fair Association
has started what is commonly call
ed a sChain Letter. which asks of
the recipients to contribute 10
cents and to send copy of the
letter to three other Tennesseans
whom they think may be willing
to do likewise.
"Nopatriotic Tennesseanshoul
refuse to comply with this moder-
ate request. Even if in this chain
of letters one party shall be called
on more than once, ora often as a
dozen times, the request is SO mod
crate that each recipient should be
only two glad to have. the oppor-
tnnity of responding. This seems
to be the only practical way to
reach the masses, and hence it has
been adopted to give the people at
large an opportunity of contribu-
ting their mite toward this lauda-
BILE undertaking.
Recipients of this letter are
urged not to break the chain, but
to promptly comply with the re-
quests the letters contain. A fail
ure to comply will mean a failure
of the plan"
