Clarkin disputed O’Rourke’s right to sell Luyster and then in ed he was the property of the Hartford club and disclaimed all knowledge of ever hav- ing released the player to the Bridge- port club. As O'Rourke had two wit- nesses, namely President Tracey and Supervisor of Umpires Kennedy, to make aflidavits to the deal, Clarkin lost out. To this day Clarkin has been at logger-heads with the Hast- eern head and has done all in his pow er to force him out of the president’s chair. .

Gard- [ner was a native of the town of Lis- doonvarna, in County Clare, Ireland, 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 Montreal and knacked out Thunderbolt Smith in the seventh round. He then re- turned 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 Clare had demonstrated that he was a terrific fighter and the possessor of a soporific punch. George first met defeat in when he lost in eighteen rounds Jimmy Handler at Brooklyn. next defeated Jack Moffatt, the Springfield, I1l, middleweight, and in a return match with Handler knocked out that scrapper in the third chap- was 1‘_Spo i 1809, to He ter. After winning on a foul from Kid Carter, one of the leading mid- dleweights of that périod, Gardner returned to Ireland for a visit. While on the other side he fought several battles in KEngland, knocking out Frank Craig, ‘the Harlem Coffee Coaler,” and defeating Jack Scales. In 1901 Gardner returned to Amer- ica and was offered a match with Jack Moffatt in San Francis He defeated the Illinoisan in three rounds and remained in the Golden Gate City some time. He twice fought Kid Carter in San Francisco, winning the first bout in eighteen rounds and the second in eight. He last the de- cision to Joe Wolcott, the “‘Barbados Demon,” in a twenty-round fight, but lin 1902 he again met the clever black in San Francisco and was de- clared the victor. He also fought two battles with Jack Root, the Bo- hemian battler, losing the first on foul, but winning the second, staged in Salt Lake <ity, by a Kknockout in the seventeenth. Before leaving the Pacific coast Gardner was matched with Jack Johnson, and stayed the full twenty rounds with the big black, although Johnson was given the de- cision. On his way back Irishman’ stopped in Chicago and again bested his old opponent, Kid Carter. Early in 1903 he met his countryman, Peter Maher, in Bos- ton, and knocked him out in the first inning. He then went to I.ouisville and defeated Marvin Hart, the Ken- tuckian who afterward claimed the heavywelght title. Gardner's next battle was with Jack Root at Iorte to the east the First Row: John Bertint Stephey Second Row: Kenneth Hartman, Senior Y. M. C. A.

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 a draw in Boston, and in two bouts with Jack Root he got a draw in the first and lost the sec- ond. He again whipped Kid Carter, this time in Milwaukee, and knocked out Jim Jeffories at Butte, but was held to a draw by Jim Flynn in a ten-round affair in Denver. About ten years ago Gardner fought Mike Schreck in Salt Lake City, and was knocked out in the twentieth round. IJn 1906 he took the count from Al Kaufmanu in Los Angeles, and the next year he was knocked out by Jim Flynn in San Diego.
