from the Chicago stockyards district.
Ryan, like the rest, however, fell be.
fore the might Of Gardner, and this
victory added to Gardner's reputation.
Fight followers Of the city think
that Gardner could win fromo Nelson.
They argue that man with q straight
punch with the proper steam back of
it. is the one that can defeat the
Dane Gardner has such a punch, and
more, too. He is clever, a master of
blocking and one of the best stallers
in the ring.
From expressions of opinions heard
around local sporting resorts, it is very
likely that Gardner will be favorite
in the betting as soon as the pair are
matched.
London, Oct. 12.-The sporting life
appears to have taken a firm hold
upon the aristocracy of the old world,
even the feminine members of royal
families becoming enthusiastic sports.
Princess Charles of Denmark is a
skilled shot, and as child was taught
to shoot at target. Princess Vic.
toria Melitia Of Saxe-Coburg, former.
ly grand duchess of Hesse and niece
Of King Edward, is another famous
markswoman. The duchess of Bed
ford is a splendid shot, and 80 is the
duchess of New Castle, who has kill
ed many head of big game in the
Rocky mountains. The marchioness
of Breadalbane is a first rate rife
shot and deerstalker. Lady Loeb, a
bride at last season, shoots we'll and
many fine stays have fallen to her
rifle.
Lady Sandhurst and the Hon. Mrs.
Algernon Bourke must also be includ-
ed among noted deerstalkers. Lady
Hindlit is another big game shot and
brought home giraffe from her re-
cent travels in East Africa. Lady Del
amere has also secured some notable
trophies from the African jungle.
Lady Wolverton, Lady Helen Stavor-
dale, Lady Vivian and Lady Juliette
Dun are all good markswomen, and
the two last mentioned ladies afford
instances of step daughters trained
by sport loving step fathers. Lady
Constance art-Richardson is Sec
ond to none as a noted sportswoman.
She has shot stays in Scotland, big
game in the jungles of Ceylon and
wild hogs on the plains of southwest
Texas.
Lady Beatrice Pole Carew is an.
other splendid shot, and the list also
includes Lady Elena Wickham, sister
to the marquis Of Huntley, Lady Con.
stance Scott, daughter of the duke and
duchess of Bucclauch, Mrs. Asquith
and Miss Muriel Wilson. Mrs. Alan
Gardner, daughter of Sir James Blyth,
has killed big game in all the four
quarters of the globe, and Mrs. George

bit shot, and Violet, Lady Beaumont
and the Countess of Warwick are
deadly with cartridges and pheasants.
Marvin Hart, on being shown the
challenge from Fitzsimmons, express
ed his willingness to meet Bob. Hart
says he will be ready to fight in one,
two or three months, and will accom-.
Odate Fftzsimmons any way he de.
sires in the matter of splitting the
purse, or winner take all, the route
to be such as will suit Fitz.
Nelson's manager, Nolan, says III
Britt or any one else can make me
believe that go with Britt will draw
better than go between Nelson and
some one else, we will sign with Britt.
If Jimmy Gardner can make 1873 lbs,
ringside, and he says he can do it,
we will give him fight. If Mike
(Twin) Sullivan can make the same
weight and the matchmakers here
consider him as good a card or bet
ter than either Britt or Gardner, he
will be accommodated. For the next
four or five months Nelson will go
around the country and see what is
to be made in the show business.
expect to have him fighting again this
winter in San Francisco"
Britt has already told the public
that he believes the pictures will help
more than anything to get him an
other match with the Dane. He thinks
they will show conclusively that he
was, if anything, in better shape than
his opponent when the lucky punch"
landed Under the circumstances it
will be interesting to learn what story
the films will tell thousands and thOus-
ands of wise sports who were not at
the ringside.
The cause of Terry McGOvern'S
trouble was nervous breakdown. His
old manager, Sam Harris, says that
the little fellow lost two children to
whom he was greatly attached and
that was enough to set him crazy, but
he is all right now. He also says
that in his long career with Terry they
never had a cross word.
