I.-Gcnerai View.

On the proper solution of the Ameri-
can problem hangs the destiny OF this
empire During my recent tours through
out Europe and America II was my con-
slant cndeavor to collect materials for
investigation. with a view to finding out
possible measures OF solving this compli-
Gated problem.
u.-Pcaceful solution IL Possible.
Some of my countrymen look upon
the problem with extremely pessinis-
tic views. They fear the outbreak of a
war at any moment. Indeed. the pre-
seriousness of International relations
does not allow us TO rely upon peace
with implicit confidence: yet we must
not think OF employing arms before this
is absolutely inevitable. To my mind
this problem is surely susceptible OF a
peaceful solution. which will be far more
conducive to the benefit not only OF the
two nations, but OF the whole world.

Judging from the japanese standpoint,
a war with America is certainly posi-

Japanese war. II ever, will be wased
mainly at sea. in which case the eN-

OF the means to meet the crisis. II We
can successfully land forces We can
collect contributions from American
cities and towns.
Particularly at present, when all the
great European Powers are involved In
fratricidal struggle. America, as well as
Japan. could obtain no assistance from
outside, and both could match up oil
strictly equal terms. In this sense. II Is

the gang and cleaned them all out.
His sporting friends then insisted that
he display his prowess in the ring,
and at length he consented. Maher
was then nineteen years old, tall,
gangling youth, aud weighed less than
$50 pounds. In 1883 he defeated Mar.
tin 0'Hare. Tim O'Doherty and other
boxers and the next year he made
good showing in an exhibition with
Peter Jackson. In 1891, when lie de.
clded TO emigrate 10 America, he was
the middleweight champion of Great
Britain and Ireland, and could not
even get q match with the heavy
weights.
Makers first fight on this side was
with Jack Fallen, aud he knocked him
out In the second round. He then met
three men in one night at Madison
Square Garden, and knocked thom all
out In the first round.
III California he met Joe Mccall, a
giant standing nearly six and a half
feet and weighing 225 pounds, and
put him away in the third round. lie
also knocked out Joe Godfrey aud
Mike Monahan. but in 1892 he lost to
Joe Goddard, the Australian, and was
defeated in a twenty.rouud bout with
Bob Fitzsimmons In New Orleans.
Billy Madden, who had been large
ly responsible for inducing Peter 10
try his luck In America, was Makers
second In the Crescent city battle. a
big crowd OF nearly 5000 fans filled
tho Plympic club, which had hung up
$4,000 for the bout. In the second
Mahcr landed glancing blow which
nearly put Fit2. away, and In the tenth
FItz. was again groggy. In the
twelfth, however, Bob was SO much
the master that Madden tossed in the
sponge. After the hattie Bob kissed
Peter on the forehead and the two
drank to each other from Bob's flask.
Peters subsequent career was one
OF ups and downs. He defeated
George Godfrey, Frank Slayin, Joe
Choynski, Joe Goddard, and many
other good men, and fought draws
with Gus Rubin and Jim Hall, but
was knocked out by Kid Mccoy, Ruth
lin. Kid Carter. Choynski, George
Gardiner, jack Munroe and others.
Peters ring career extended from
1888 to 1909. when he retired after
being knocked out by Jack Fitzgerald
ip the first round OF bout in Phila.
delphia. After he quit the ring he
returned to his old trade Of barten
der. and was employed by Jack Sicily,
the once famous featherweight, in his
Yonkers hotel. Peter always claimed
that he was given raw deal in many
OF his fights, owing to the influence Of
the high.up politicians, who bet on
his opponents and demanded decisions
accordingly.

Birthday of Peter Maher, Twenty
Years a puctIist,

Gears PuStitSt,
Que of The longest ring careers Of
modern times was that of Peter
Maher, who for more than score of
years was one OF the top.notchers OF
the American ring. Peter was born
in Galway, Ireland. as years ago
and was sort of st. Pat
rick's Day gift for his parents.
He grew to a height of nearly six
feet, but during his ring days he was
never much more than a middle
weight, as he seldom entered the ring
over 165 pounds.
II he. had had a little more meat
Peter would almost certainly have
become champion. for he was one OF
tho hardest hitters the ring has ever
known. When he fought Bob Fitz-
simmons on the Mexican border In
1896 he landed blow in the first
round which Ruby Robert testified
was tho hardest lie had ever had 10
assinlilate.
Peter began his career In Dublin
brewery, and later became a bar.
keeper In Dublin cafe. He had
never had occasion TO use his fists
until one night when row started
in the public house, and one OF the
ROSTERS threw a mug at Peter. That

second in eight. He lost the decision
to Joe Walcott, the Barbados De.

1902 he again met the clever black
In San Francisco and was declared
the victor. He also fought two bat.
ties with Jack Root, The Bohemian
battler, losing the first on foul, hut
winning the second, staged in Salt
Lake City, by knockout in the
seventeenth. Before leaving tile Pa.
ciflc coast Gardner was hatcher with
Jack Johnson, and stayed the full
twenty rounds with the big black, al.
though Johnson was given the de.
cision.
On his way back to the East the
lrishman stopped in Chicago and
again bested his old opponent. Kid
Carter. Early in 1903 he met his
countryman, Peter Maher, in Boston,
and knocked him out in the first in.
ming. He then went to Louisville
and defeated Marvin Hart, the Ken.
tuckian who afterward claimed the
heavyweight title. Gardeners next
battle was with Jack Root at Fort
Erie, Ont, and he won in a dozen
rounds.
Gardner's famous battle with Bob
FitZsimmons was staged in San Fran.
cisco late in 1903, and he went the full
route OF twenty rounds, but lost the
decision TO the. lanky Australian.
BY 1904 It was evident that Gard
ner was going back. Marvin Hart
held him to draw in Boston, and in
two boats with Jack Root lie got a
draw in the first and lost the second.
He again whipped Kid Carter, this
time In milwaukee. and knocked out
Jim Jeffords ut Butte. but was held
to draw by Jim Flynn in ten.round
affair in Denver.
About ten years ago Gardener
fought Mike Schreck In Salt LAX City,
and was knocked out in the twentieth
round. In 1906 he took the count from
A. Kaufman in Los Angeles, and the
next year was knocked out by Jim
Flynn in San Diego. That practically
ended his ring career, although be

George Gardner, Great Irish Boxer
Born on st. Pats Day.


One of the greatest middleweights
and light heayyweights that ever
climbed into ring was George
Gardener, who was born on st. Pat.
tricks Day, thirty.eight years ago.
Gardener was a native OF the town Of
Lisdoonvarna, in County Clare, Ire.
land, where he grew to a height OF
nearly six feet. He began his ring
career in Manchester In 1897, and in
the following year he went to Mon.
treal and knocked out Thunderbolt
Smith in the seventh round. He then
returned to the New Hampshire city
where he had made his debut and
fought several other bouts. Nearly
all Of his early battles were won by
knockouts. and by the time he had
passed his majority the man from
Glars had demonstrated that he was
a terrific fighter and the possessor OF
soporific punch.
George first met defeat in 1889,
when he lost in eighteen rounds 10
Jimmy Handler at Brooklyn. He next
defeated Jack Moffatt, the Spring
field, ILL.,, middleweight, and in a re-
turn match with Handler knocked out
that serapper in the. third chapter.
After winning on a foul from Kid
Carter. one OF the leading middle.
weights of that period, Gardner re-
turned to ireland for visit. While
on the other side he fought several
battles. in England, knocking out
Frank Craig, ''the Harlem Coffee
Cooler" and defeating Jack Scales.
In 1901 Gardner returned to Ameri.
ca and was offered q match with Jack
Moffatt In San Francisco. He defeat.
