If the local fight promoters desire to give Salt Lake a contest to set the pace for the whole country they might bring "Battling" Nelson and Jimmy Gardner together. The local sport lovers havo formed a high opinion of Nelson since hli? victory over "Spider" Welsh, while critics in the East arc putting Gardner. Gard-ner. ?U thQ licad o tho lightweight class. Salt Lake people who saw Jlm-mle's Jlm-mle's big brother George whip Jack Roach here two years ago will be willing wil-ling to testify that the stock Is all right. Slier places Jlmmlo ahead of all in his class except Joe Gans, and speaking of his recent fights with Miko Ward and "Buddy" Ryan In Chicago, say: "Mike's reputation was such it was thought Jimmy would be cleaned up In a hurry. Instead, the LoA'ell boy went around the Canadian like a cooper would go around a barrel, trouncing him so savagely and so decisively he was Immediately voted the best that has been seen here in years. He was then matched with "Buddy" Ryan, supposedly tho best boy of his weight In the country, and acknowledged acknowl-edged the boss lightweight In tho middle West. In that contest, a3 In that with Ward, he demonstrated beyond cavil that he Is the master of all the 133 to 135 pounders in America. The roferee'3 verdict of v. draw., la ids battlo with Ryan does not tell the story of the fight, as he had matters his own way during the first four rounds; had a slight shade the worst of the fifth, while the sixth was about even. His margin was so Great at the end of tho fourth session that Brother George Instructed him to lay back, as he had the light won, and that Is one reason why "Buddy" allowed up s6 well In the last two periods. The betting at the end of the fifth round was 4 to 1 that Gardner would win and the same price the contest would not be declared a draw, which shows the Injustice of the decision." There are many Salt Lakers who would like to see Aurella Herrera go up against a good man In his class now that he has shaken off the nuculus of Biddy Bishop. "Mex" has made a big hit with tho sport lovers of Chicago and Is In great demand. He will irieet Louie Long In Butte next month at the reopening of boxing contests In that city. |
