Mass the man ho had vanquished in San Francisco six months before It was a light which will go down he line as an eenL In I juglllslic history for men who have followed the game slncii llioy were old enoush to open their eyesand are authorities on the sport who were at the ringside unite in Buying that It was the fastest work for such a length of limn and number oC rounds iicvenleen tlial two men have put up since the game was born VHAT IT MINT TO HOOT It not only Jarred Hoots anntomy considerably but the defeat nearly broke his heart And It was a tough proposition The hero of over sixty uaulcs coxcnni i period of fully eight years hard l work never having shaken hands with defeat before togo to-go down before the lerrllle punches of a man whom he deemed sure money from the easy mtnner In which he disposed dis-posed of Gardner at their former meeting meet-ing To dimly see the victor raised aloft on the shoulders of cray admli1 erv a position he had always occupied before to bo carried to his corner not having strength enough to walk and there come to the Cull realization of what had happened thai he was no longer the Idol without a flaw well think iLover I t and think of

condition condi-tion wonderful ability to take punishment punish-ment and give It aggressiveness and the cool clever advice of his second and manager Alee Grcggains which he knew enough to heed He had his plan of battle mapped out long before he entered the ring and almost his first blow landed on the spot he had picked out on his opponent to bombard bom-bard the hitters stomach where his weakness lay After the first five rounds the JilahmanfWerrt I He fighting und whenever loot would clinch Gardner Gard-ner would lower his head and beat a tattoo t on larks ribs and stomach until un-til I the referee pulled them apart This was strhdy allowable under the rules they had agreed upon Marquis of QucciiKbury but Gardner showed a tendency to work too low and came within a luilr of fouling his opponent a number o i times especially when Root had him slightly to the bad HOOTS BAD HAND Hoot suffered frightfully and was badly handicapped after the second round by a broken left hand Two of the small bones Just back of the knurkles were fractured causing him all kind of pain when he pushed his jnlt Into hit opponent As it was his load hand mattery became worse as he vent along and for sonic reason or other possibly for fear of a foul he refused to use the heel in trying to stop his opponents rushes While strictly this Is not allowable It is one of the Inside pOints of the game which might have been used under such a lenient rcfurce as Ilynds with damaging effect to Gardner and a great sLIng of suffering to Root The Injured In-jured member became so bad after waru mat Jack hurried his departure to Chicago where he will have a specialist spe-cialist perform an operation on It CARRIED NO TITLE While the winner of the contest was billed as the champion middleweight and light heavyweight of the world the dope was wrong for the latter clasB is a ncw one evidently framed up for advertisement while the middleweight middle-weight championship Is held by Tommy Tom-my Ryan and It will be several moons before the title Is v rested from him Neither Hoot nor Gardner Is likely to perform the feat In their present form although they have the best chance In the world as both are young men one being 20 and the other 23 years oC age and cannot help but Improve PROMOTERS LOST MONEY The greatest sympathy however should full to the promoters of the af fair Messrs Hynds end Mtilvcy
