GARDENERS VICTORY
Passaic Expert Amateur Bill Hard Champion of America.
WON AT CHICAGO TOURNAMENT.
Beats Poggenburg of New York Tn Hard Fought Final Game, Thus Playing Five Matches With
 out . Defeat.

| CHICAGO, March 2O.-Edward w. Gardner of Passaic, N. J., is the anna teur billiard champion of America. He l won the title at the Chicago Athletic association in the final game of the na- tional tournament, which has been in progress for a week. His opponent in
 the final was J. F. Poggenpurg of New l York, and the new champion won by I the score of 300 to 236. Gardner play 1 ed five games without defeat.
 The game between Gardner and Pog- I genburg was fought every inch of the way. Gardner, who is noted for his safety plays, was especially cautious, and every time he missed a shot he l left the balls in such an intricate posi-
 ton that his opponent was unable to
 score df several occasions. All the luck seemed to be with Gardner.
 Poggenburg toward the end of the | game missed several shots that seemed comparatively easy of execution. He
 stopped playing for five minutes while I q new cue was being brought for his use, but the change made little differ ence, and he continued in i'll luck throughout the game. Up to the eleventh inning the score l was about even, with both men play
 ing slow and safe game. At this point Poggenburg made run of 45 and took | the lead, which he held until the eight eenth inning. Then Gardner passed
 him, with three points to spare. From this time on Gardner steadily increas- ed his lead until the forty-first period,
 when, he was ninety points to the good. The next time up Poggenburg counted 20, followed it with 13 and then with B points. Each time he failed on com
 paratively easy shots and retired to his seat disgusted.
 Gardner kept scoring single runs
 each time up until in the forty-second inning he required that the table be cleaned and a new set of balls be put into play. When everything was ready for him he scored a difficult shot and
 then failed on an easy cushion carom. His next time up the best he could do was 1. By this time Poggenburg had
 crept up to within fifty points of Gard
 ner, and the latter plainly showed nervousness until in the forty fifth in
 ming he took a chance on difficult
 shot to get the balls together. He
 made the shot and was loudly cheered for his nerve. After this he kept the
 balls together. and soon counted the
 necessary nine points to run out the game and win the championship.
 Gardner's average for the game was
 6 3O-45 and his high run 27. Poggen-
 burg's high run was 45 and his average 5 31-45.
 Tied for second prize are Calvin
 Demarest of Chicago, Henry Wright of
 San Francisco and J. F. Poggenburg,
 each having won three and lost two games.

 champion, finished in fifth place and

CHAMPIONS OF THE
 PAST AND FUTURE.

Digging through a lot of old stun the other day came across some pic lures of the fighters of hundred years ago. and they put me in mind of the difference there is between the fellows that stepped into the squared circle in those days and the lads that put the gloves on now.
 When . fellow looks back that way he sees a few changes that set him thinking. 1 don't know how long 1t is since men got together in c personal encounter to fight with their fists. but 1 should guess 1t was about the time . that the old swords and dirks went out of fashion. I've been told that the tournament was about the closest thing to modern prize fighting and there hasn't been . tournament in long time. but the idea looks reasonable. Of course. men have fought ever since they've been on the earth. but the fights I am talking about are the ones where there was . purse held up. and where the chaps that fought were not settling some old grudge. As far e I know the first of the regular box- srs was Tom FiEg. and he did some tall work from 17Is on to 17so. when a boy named Greeting took his measure. lThoss were the days when A man stood up against his adversary and did what thing hs could to him before the other fellow knocked him into . cooked hat. There vas mighty little footvork in those days, and the science of the busi- nezs vas . whole lot In the future. From ali I've been able to ent out about they just used to poznd away ct each other and nan's ability vas Gnnged hy his staying qualities-in s<her vor1k on his capacity to take punishnect IL vas . great game and c fsIIor didn't 70 into it unless hs could stand the uf- AS the ysars vent cn [ believe ss1e attention vas pezl to suarts s5d bio-s of . tissr- ct order. but 1t wasn't unfIl vell along irto tke ffties of lsst e~ntnrJ that the zoterr fighter b<Ez1 to sit U nDl take sotice

rude to whale g. man over the head with club because you had your money on the other lad. This used to be a favorite pastime when the fights were held on the turf. and I'm told 1t used to breed some very neat and ef- fective little discussions on the side. However, it was Jem Mace who was the first man to invent real punches sidesteps and the like, and he is to be credited with the modern pugilism, one might say.
 The old-time champion was a fellow who would stand up with funny guard and beat his man uown by main strength and awkwardness. It used to be favorite idea to catch a fellow in wrestling grip and then grind him down into the mud. but that dropped out after awhile. The rules began to provide that skill was the thing that was needed more than strength and the bite and chew, kick-in-the-stomach idea was asked to take a back seat. When certain alleged noblemen used to keep stable of fighters, just like they would horses, things were a lot more brutal than was necessary, be- cause these folks seemed to want blood and lots of it.
 Coming down to cases, however, in the last IS years or so the game has gone through lot of changes. and per. haps the difference is more to be no ticed during that time than during any other. To go back to 1882 when John L. Sullivan beat Paddy Ryan down in Mississippi. you might say that John was about the last of the old guard of fighters. He was the boy who would stand up and fight to the last gasp. and his greatest trouble was In getting the men to stay where he could hit them. London prize ring rules were never meant for John. and a lot of people made the mistake of thinking Sullivan was champion of the world. He never vas. for he failed to whip Charley Mitchell when they fought at Chantilly in France for the championship. That vas the last time think that the L. P. R rules were used, and it vas . good thing for Mitchell that he fought un- der them then. for Sullivan had him going q whole lot at different times and if 1t hadn't been for the rules and the crowd. that made 1t hot for John. q different story might have been told and Sullivan might have been the worlds champion
 We'll. as I vas saying. Sullivan vas the last of his style Re used to stand up and pound away at his man until he had him down and out. and he vas . shffty fighter at that, vas John. but there vas q change coming along Jim Corbett vent after Sullivan down in New. Orleans. and tried . rev sys- ten on hin. c system that had been growing fast rt vas the hit and ret szsy idea. that is said to bs the acme of science. and Corbett. then . lIkely led. vss abozt as shifty oa hIs feet as . cat He soaked snllisar any tiue he rantsd to. bzt ke rss never on the E,cf uhen Sullivan vazfed to kft hin. a.z poor ed yokE p.ncksd kins<{f tir>1-st sething Thas vss the nrst

l have doped it out. ought to whip anything that walks on two legs. bar. ring accidents of the Jeffries kind.
 l claim to know Jim Jeffries about as well as any man can know another and don't believe there's a man in the business to-day that can whip him. l worked with Jeffries lot after our second fight in San Francisco. and can modestly claim to have taught him something, too. You'll notice as a gen. eral rule that championship fights are getting shorter. too. Corbett whipped Sullivan in 21 rounds. beat Corbett in IA and Jeffries put me away fin 11 the first time and in eight the second time. Of course, if you carried this much further, you'd have . man whipped before he got into the ring but what 1 mean when point that out is that the fight of the future is going to be between speedy men. who will fight fast and hard and who will only go short distance. Something like the racing of today. There used to be- horses that could travel ten miles at fast clip. and hold it to the end. with saving burst of speed for a climax: but to-day It's the horse with the fast speed for the short distance that brings home the money.
 These things are all bound to reach certain limit, of course, but I think the combination speak of for a short distance fight E going to be the thing. Not SO much endurance, but more speed and grit while the short bout is on. Why. there have been Queensbury fights that have run into SO rounds. bu, I never heard that any of the specta. tors enjoyed them half as much as they did the rip-roaring. speedy battle that went along at racing clip for 10 or IF rounds and ended with a sharp rally all over the ring.
 Just the same. its quite a long s,en from old Figg down to Jim yeffrIes- and. say. did you ever think how many black eyes. cut lips and twisted noses were wrapped up in those years,

of the modern changes. The gladiator the stolid man of muscle, gave way to the shifty man, with the fair punch who could get in quick. strike quicker and get away again before his man had a chance to counter.
 For some years that was the ideal school, and then somebody found out that Corbett didn't have any particu. larly hard punch and that he mostly wore his men down by letting them work themselves out, putting in a good jab here and there to help the work along. I think I can safely say that I was the chap of the new school who made the next change. I took Corbett'a measure because was pretty fast with my hands and feet and I had the punch. Every time I hit a man it hurt. and hurt badly. too, and that did the business for awhile. You see, I'd gone to work on the principle that . combination of the two men who stood at the top-Sullivan and Corbett- would do the trick. If I could move about as fast as Corbett, or nearly as fast. and could hit like Sullivan, I'd stand a fair chance of winning out. went to work along those lines and they worked out right.
 But there was another change com, ing along and didn't see that. I don't think anyone will call me if say that l couldn't be expected to see 1t was working along easy. with the belief that I could trim any appli- cant that showed up. but thought the giants had all been done with. I couldn't know that young bull was going to come out of the west. who moved pretty fast and who weighed so pounds more than I did, and who had been trained by the foxiest trainer in the business. didn't think that an elephant-beg pardon. Jim could move quick. but found 1t out at Coney Island and in just ii rounds the ele- phant-pardon again. Jim-had put me away. I say now. just as said then. that Jefries was and is an accident You don't look for many men of his Kind In a century. He's not the regu. lar run of men by whole lot. In fact. l guess he's sort of a made-to-order boy for the particular job he had to do. I don't honestly think he's a regulsr fighter. not the fighting machine al least He's the best, however. just nov. but if he sticks to the game some fellow is going to get him in time. You see. he's big and stronger than the ordinary and he hits hard. and then he's fast. too. on his feet and ia his movements. He carries out my combination all right. and ny dope iI right at that. but he's too Dig for th. ordinary man to take a hark st.

One girl was injured by jumping. and sew eral other students as we'll as two teachers were slightly burned in the rush from the quick spreading flames, but all the others escaped in safety. The fire destroyed the Manual Train ing school building in which 1t .1tarted and partly burned an annex structure, known as the Whittier High school. an historic place. In which the poet Whit tier once taught. All the seven teach CTS in the two schools demonstrated re- markable coolness. but the heroism of two persons. Walter Bourne. sn in structor fin manual training. and Fran cis German. fifteen-year-old member of the freshman class. was especially notable.
 Bourne guided twelve boys through a wall of fire and smoke which threat ened to imprisoH them in the training school and then returned to assure him self tEst all had escaped. Ills retreat was cut of. and he was forced to jump from a second story window. His face was scorched and his hair burned of.
