"When ' I he landed In New York he was adver- I ! tised as the champion of the world. A ! lot of good men took him as the real ; thing: and pulled their rolls to back him on that understanding. He packed along a smash that was a peach and whe-n it reached proper it , would kill a cow. But the fear of get- ting a rap himself made him so scared j that instead of going In and taking a chance when there was b!g money and reputation in it gave him the lily liver, and ho has made more Irishmen blush than any boxer that ever broke out of ; Ireland. Just a little heart and just a . little dnro would have made all the difference In the world with Peter. But he didn't have It, and he cashed In at a time when he might have filled safely deposit boxes with enough mazumah to buy Home Patle. Another Candidate for Eritt Uotis Up. Remember the dope I gave out about the Gardner boys, George, Billy and Jimmy? Well. Jimmy has made good all I said of him by the way he stored Rbfe Turner, a chocolate would-be champion in Colma, Cal. He polished th( ebony in such shape that he loped at once into the Brltt and Nelsoh class, and Brltt will have to consider him very soon. There's more good fighting In this Gardner family than any I know of at this lime. The three brothers named is not all there Is, for there Is i still another orfe who is so forward to fight that when he was In the Spanish war, he got into Ponce, Porto Rico, two hours ahead of the rest of the Yankee troops md the town made its first offer to surrender to this private. This is no I con. It's real. This Gardner bunch have a jab that Will wear down the average fighter that faces them. They can also use both hands for heavy work, and although George went down before Mike Schrecki a shor.t time ago, I think that wns because be-cause he let his condition get on the bum. He licked Jack Root more liand-i liand-i Ily than Marvin Hart did it In making himself "champion," I make this spiel about the Gardners because they are comers and the sports ought to get wise to them. If Brltt will give Jimmy Gardner a chance If he don't take on Nelson I'll. guarantee that It will bring on one of the scrappiest scrap-piest lightweight biff-swaps the talent haB seen. Take It from me that If Brltt agrees to meet young Jimmy, the championship Is very apt to turn over right there. Stick a pin in this. Jeff Isn't Blowing- His Boll. These yarns about Jeffries gambling aWay all his coin remind me of some that were told about me. Jeff doesn't care any more about money than Russell Rus-sell Sage does, but that doesn't mean that he's swelling the batting averages of the lid-lifters In Reno. Jeff simply bought some properly In Reno, giving a small boozefest In a hotel to a lot of cowboys and miners who made him feel at home and bought as often as he did. Reno is wide open six days in the week, but on Sunday it Is good enough to suit even the Ideas of Wlllard Allen, the Poston Sunday-school superlntend- ON' SARATOGA RACE COURSE The upper picture shows Pretention ieav ing his field behind in the Saratoga I Handicap. Colonial Girl is second and Tyron third. The lower picture shows W. H. Snyder and W. C. Jencks talking it over between the Taccs. I ent, who was so proper that he got the i chance to lake $100,000 from the widows wid-ows and orphans and get away to the greaser districts of South America. "When Jeff got a thousand dollars for officiating at the Hart-Root match, he spent part of It to be a good fellow, and every dollar he put out had a brass band attachment to it and the word has gone down the line that he Is as good a spender ns Coal Oil Johnny or as Yours Truly In his palmy days, i when I found it In the streets in hunks. But as for Jeff throwing away his money to the whlppoorwllls, forget It. The day of the spendthrift prizefighter prize-fighter has passed. At this stage, the prize-fighter learns to pinch every dollar dol-lar he gets so hard that the eagle screams, and the most of them learn this part of the game before they learn to box. Nay, nay, Gertrude. Jeff has his salted, and whatever he pushes out beyond what Is needed for food and clothes Is charged to advertising expenses.
