there was a great cry from many

MARVIN HART-S BIRTHDAY.
In the list OF heavyweight cham
pions OF the world. the name Of Mar
vim Hart is seldom given. but he was.
nevertheless a mighty fighting man
Hart whose claims 20 the big title
were laughed out OF court by the
fight fans, was a son OF the Blue
Grass state. having been born in JET
ferson county. near Louisville A
years ago today. Sept. IS, 1875 He
made an excellent record as a middle
weight. although he never reached
the top Of that division
When Jim Jeffries retired in 1913,
Hart and Jack Root. another eN-mid-
dleweight, claimed the title. and a
battle was arranged at Reno. New on
July 9. 1905. Jeff acted as referee
and. when Root was knocked out In
the 18th round. Jeff presented Hart
with his title. TO defend against all
challengers- Jeff later denied that he
intended 10 proclaim Hart as the bona
fide champion. and. in any event the
sporting world refused TO admit that
a retiring champion could deed away
his title When Hart put heavy

professional cards. the fans just
laughed. and It was up TO Marvin 10

Early in 1906. having found that
there was little nutriment in his

and fought Pat Callahan at Butse-
putting that worthy TO sleep in the
second round Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien and Tommy Burns. the Cana

chance. and Hart was matched with
the latter. The fight was pulled off
IN Los Angeles Feb. %. 1906, and
Tommy won the decision in 20 rounds
and afterward made good on his
championship claims by defeating
