YOUNG ERNE BEATEN

Billy McCarney used good judgment at
the Washington Sporting club at Phila-
delpha last night. when he jumped into
the ring in the fifth round and saved his
man, Young" Erne. from being Knocked
out by Jimmy Gardner OF Lowell.
The defeat OF the best lightweight in
this city was unexpected. and was ac-
compllshed i'm such an easy manner as
TO create the boxing sensation of the
winter.
Gardner won all the way There never
was "A second when he wasn't the mas
ter Of the situation. He punched Young"
Erne almost at will knocked him down
more than once. had him groggy in nearly
every round after the first, and was get
ting ready ito put a finishing touch on the
performance when Mccartney climbed
through the ropes.
While Gardner was rated as a good
one. no one supposed for a moment that
he could hand out such punishment to
Erne and receive practically none IN re-
turn. The showing made by the Phila-
delphian, considering that he has
championship aspirations. was pitful
His excuse was that Gardner was man.
pounds heavier, which was true, but even
this didn't count for Erne's failure to live
up to his reputation Erne failed com
pletely in his pet speciality the jab--and
was hopelessly at sea when IL came TO a
swing. His judgment OF distance was
very poor and he was seldom able to
block one OF Gardner's leads.
Indeed. about all Erne did was TO be
the receiver general of a shower Of blows
from Gardner Time after time Erne
either held on to Jimmys gloves or else
stood In the ring with his face and
stomach covered up by his long arms and
waited for Gardner TO swing against his
ribs or face.
1t was a complete defeat for Erne, end

II was claimed by Erne's followers that
he has not been keeping in condition and
that he has frequently been cautioned by
