Boston, May IT, Superior ring gem
eralship on the part of Jimmie Gardner
Of Lowell gave him an easy victory over
Bill McKinnon Of Roxbury in twelve
rounds of hard fighting at the Armory
Athletic association last night.
In few rounds did McKinnon have an
advantage. Gardner repeatedly stung
the Roxbury lad in the face with hard
swift rights and lefts and in the elinch-
es did effective work on the body. Seeing
his advantage Gardner stalled in the
sixth and ninth and took it easy, but
even then McKinnon failed TO reach
him. Mekinnon started off well with
an effort to get at Gardner's body. He
rarely reached the head with a clean
blow and during the last of the fight
be was wild. In the third McKinnons
face began to bleed Gardner did not es-
cape without loss Of blood, one of Me-
Kinnon's swings catching him over the
right eye in the seventh and opening 4

The preliminaries were all short and
each ended in knockouts. Angus Me-
Dougall of South Boston knocked out
