Must BE Color Blind.


Perhaps the most curious turn that the
color line has ever taken in connection
with boxing is illustrated in the recent
action of Jimmy Gardner. of Lowell,
Mass. Efforts have been made for months
by boxing promoters in Philadelphia to
get Gardner to box Jack Blackburn.
When Billy Mccartney was running the
Washington Sporting Club he did his
best to bring these two men together
without success. Jack MeGuigan, who
has landed some of the biggest fish in
the pugilistic pond and who is quite an
enticer when he gets after a match, tried
every trick he knew of to get Gardner
to box the Philadelphia eolored cham
pion. Then Bob Deady took try at it.
and he had no more success than Me-
Carney or McGuigan.
Lately the latter has been in communi-
cation with Gardner, and offered him
every reasonable inducement to get in
the ring with Blackburn for six rounds,
but it was just as before He refused,
and his reasons for refusing were the
same old ones that he has been giving
out for the last couple of years-because
Blackburn is a colOred man and he
would not box a negro Blackburn is a
mulatt0. and not a dark one at that.
But. strange to say. within the last week
the announcement has been made that
Gardner had agreed TO box Joe Walcott.
and they are scheduled to meet at the
new Armory Athletic Club, Boston, on
| Tuesday night. AS is well known TO
sporting men who pay any attention at
all to boxing, Walcott is about as dark
colored man as has ever been discov-
cred among his race. He is so black
that when he was at the height of his
career he was commonly called the Black
| Demon, and was so advertised all over
| the country. It seerls strange that on
the question of color Gardner should side
| step Blackburn. unless 1t is perhaps that
| he wants them real black if he takes
| them on at all But the truth of the
matter is probably that the difference
| in the age of the two coiored men and
/ the much greater difference in the ability
Of the men as boxers and their power
as hitters may have something to do with
| Gardner's action, For any one who has
watched James closely cannot have helped
noticing that he is not overly fond of a
hard punch,
