GARDNER IS WILLING
TO MEET N CURE.
Probable That Washington's
Crack WeIter Will Box SOL
dier at Ardmore Club.

Shankey Gardner, Washington's well
terweight, is willing to meet Soldier
Mcclure. the crack welter from the En-
gineer Corps, and it is expected they
will be matched within a day or so for
a twenty-round bout at the old Ardmore
Club
At first the Ardmore management was
averse to holding another show until the
improvements had been concluded, but
arguments were used that the fans of
Washington might like to know for +.
certainty that the new clubhouse was
actually started. Therefore, when the
fans flock out to see this twenty-round
battle, they will see that work has
ALREADY been begun on the new head
quarters.
MCGUIRE belongs on the Pacific Coast,
where he has engaged in many ring
scraps. When he challenged Gardner he
was called upon to produce his Gre
dentials. He has done this to the salts
faction of Gardner and the club man.

release these men or trade them, what
ever the case may be, sooner than pay
salaries all out of proportion to his
appraised value of the player.
Mack continues to mask his plans, but

easily accounted for from the fact that
Herzog is one Of the hardest workers

associates play just as good ball as he
did. That was impossible. for there are
not many In the game who can play
