Referee Harry Corbett then de- livered his instructions and Announcer y Jordan introduced the pair. Loud cheers greeted each man and they retired to their corners to await the signal of the 8ong to begin hostilities.

On retiring to his dressing-room bhe was surrounded by admirers, who congratulated | him on his victory. In the lan- guage of Joe Humphreys Terry never turned a hair. McGovern appeared to be able to go an in- definite number of rounds. While being attended by his trainers he | worked his hands and was delight- ed to report that there was not a sprain or break in them. “Gardner,” be sald, “is the gamest little fellow I ever fought. Did you see him pick up the piece of string and throw it out of the ring when I had him on the can- | vas? Well, it was the funniest move I ever saw in a ring,” and McGovern laughed heartily. “Oscar is as game as a pebble, and in my oplnion is yet able to | ®ive some of the others a hard | tussle.” L CHOICE OF TRACK FOR MEMORIAL DAY RACES Golden Gate Park Driving Associa- tion May Hold Its Annual Meet at Petaluma. The Golden Gate Park Driving Associa- tion had under discussion at its meeting last night the choice of a track for its Memorial day race meet. Opinion seemed to favor some outside track, such as that at San Jose, Santa Rosa or Petaluma. The last named especially was regarded as possessing’ advantages. The inner track at Emeryville had pre- viously been considered and a letter ad- dressed to T. H.

Round Two. Gardner meets Terry's rush with a right on face. Terry is right back at him and | receives two good punches for his pains. He laughs and bores in again. McGovern fights like a demon. He is cool, but is figuring to land a hard blow that will end the fight. McGovern sends in a straight left that staggers Gardner. They clinch | and the referee separates them. Terry uts a hard right on face and a left on elly. Gardner counters Terry hard, but is sent down a moment later for the | count. He staggers to his feet and Mec- Govern is at him.

Terry cuts loose with right | but misses. Terry then lands left on jaw, staggering Gardner. Terry puts four or five rights on the body and ribs. Referee Corbett separates them. Terry has Gard- ner on the ropes and the Omaha Kid is | the receiver of some hard punches, | Terry drops Gardner with a light left, | He is up again after five is counted and | Terry closes in again and uppercuts. | Terry is trying for a knockout and sends in right on jaw and left in stomach as the | gong sends them to their corners. Terry completely outclasses Gardner. Oscar is receiving awful punishment but shows he is a game man. Garlner landed six glancing blows in the second round. | Terry is listening to advice from Harris | during the minute's rest. Gardner also | takes heed to the advice of his seconds. | Round Three. Both men come up. looking fresh and | eager. Terry as usual opens up proceed- ings. He slams left on Gardner's jaw. They clinch. Gardner lands lightly on Terry. McGovern rushes him to ropes | and puts in Jeft and rights, Gardner gets | |out of danger and catches McGovern | | with a hard right. Terry responds with | | one like it and Gardner hits the floor. | He rises to his feet and is battered on | the body. Gardner puts two light lefts | on Terry’'s face and McGovern retallates with a right in face and a right upper- | cut. Gardner rushes, but Terry smothers | his blows. Terry is following him around | the ring raining blows on Gardner. Terry puts a hard left on face and straightens Gardner up with an uppercut. Gardner returns to the attack, but his blows are smothered. Terry is cleverer than he is credited with being. Terry hooks left on face and hard right on neck.

McGovern lands right and | left on jaw. | McGovern is holding back, judging | | from what I have seen him do in former | fights. Terry misses and corrects his mis- | take by putting an awful right on Gard- | ner's body. Terry hooks right on jaw |and follows up with a brace of rights | | knocking Gardner through the ropes. Gardner turns a complete somersault in his journey. He is helped back into the | ring. Gardner is taking a severe beat- ing. McGovern is fighting carefully. The | bell sounds, otherwise Oscar would have been out. Terry goes back to his corner confident | while Gardner shows signs of the severe punishment he has undergone. Oscar's training is standing him in good stead. Round Four. Terry is first up. He lands left on stomach and sends right to head. Terry emothers Gardner's wild swings. Terry plants a hard left on stomach. Terry puts right on jaw and knocks Gardner backward. Terry follows up quickly and sends hard left to stomach and whips in right on face and Gardner falls. George Harting, the official timekeeper, counts ten, and Gardner is out, but Ref- | eree Corbett makes a mistake, and does not declare Terry the winner. Oscar rises again and is helped to his feet. He is sent down a moment later and while on his knees, Terry sends a left that brushes Oscar’s hair. There are cries of foul from the spectators, but no foul has been committed. Terry smiles and shakes Oscar’s head. Gardner is up agamn and they are again at it. Terry wants to end it here but swings wildly. Gardner lands | a good right, but Terry is not to be deterred. He watches his chance and puts a terrible right on body and Gardner drops to the floor a_beaten man. The | time of round is 2:35. Gardner is un- able to rise and his seconds fan him | while he is lying on the ground. The body blows hurt him. UD larks were in big demand atl Oakland track yesterday, and the talent managed to pick up four very profitable bargains in Decoy, Phyllis, Malay and Handicapper. All were favorites in the betting, but on acccunt of the soggy and uncertain condition of the track, the market prices were good. Showers fell throughout the afternoon. which fact did not deter a fair sized crowd from at- tending. Ex-Jockey George Miller told his friends Decoy was a “moral” for the opening scramble, and at odds of 15 to 5, the Deceiver gelding came home first in clever fashion. Barney F., after mak- ing the running, lost out by less than a length. Lost Girl ran a fair third. Of the eight maiden two-year-olds, Phyllis was selected as best, closing a 9 to 10 favorite. B. C. Greene, the second choice, went out in front at the start with a sharp turn of speed, but couldn’t stay, and the first choice won easily by three lengths. Phil Crimmins, from the Elm- wood farm, finished in the show. Through clever handling, Jack Martin larded the third purse with Un Cadeau, a 6 to 1 shot. hen Wallenstein, the lukewarm favorite, had tired after chas- ing The Singer well into the stretch, Mar- tin made his move. Using his customary rough tactics, he cut off the fast coming Nilgar, scoring by a length. In a hard drive Nilgar lost the place to Wallenstein Dby a head. Alaska, with Bergen up, was well backed, but unfortunately Bergen's saddle turned and he was kept busy stick- ing on the horse's back. Bergen met with better success in the five furlong dash for two-year-olds, riding a perfect race on Rory Ough. Sol Lich- tenstein fell in for extensive support at even money and his downfall staggerpd the short-end players. Rory Ough out- broke his field and, rated nicely by Ber- en, got the decision down at the wire by Ealf a length. Huachuca, a handy colt from Johnny Campbell's stable, after looking a possible winner, broke down, pulling up in bad shape. Royalty took third place. Right at home again in the sloppy going, Malay captured the mile selling event, running away at the end. A 6 to 5 favor- ite, with Alexander up, the brown gelding was never headed, breezing in five lengths before Ada N. Rio Shannon did not run his race, ending up a fair third. Ten well matched “‘mudders” furnished a perplexing betting proposition in the final six furlong sprint, resulting in Hand- icapper and Pat Morrisey closing equal choices at post time. Ransch astride Mor- rissey got away back in the bunch and never locked dangerous. Showing first when over half the route had been cov- ered Handicapper oulstayed Alee, winning })y tl;jl;ly a length.

As fighters go, he is sul generis, and no matter who comes his way, they all leave by the same route—the ten seconds or more of violently imposed forgetfulness. Last night at Mechanics’ Pavilion Oscar Gardner felt what it was to be brought to the ring floor so many times that the number became ¢onfused. No matcn for the Terrible Terry, Gardner clung to a thin, frail strand of hope and took a beat- ing such as must have churned his in- sides and rattled every tooth in his head— and Gardner has a wide mouthful. The fight did not last a full four rounds. At the end of three of them Gardner heard the joyful clang that saved him from the end of the ten-second count. In the fourth the finish, in the shape of a steam-propelled right full tilt upon the stomach’s tender spot, arrived and down went Gardner, falling upon his face like 0 much dead weight. Terry had used his stiff lefts and rights with bloody execu- tion Lefore the culminating bolt was shot. Gardner’s face—not pretty to look at in battle—was all of a red, the blood flowing ! goftly and steadily from his mouth and nose. When that right-hand blow landed for good. He writhed and moaned on the ring floor, hearing distinctly the tolling of the seconds as Harry Corbett gesticu- lated in rhythm with the timekeecper's sawing of the air. Ammonia, much water, a plentiful fanning and a bit of alcoholic stimulant brought the defeated pugilist back to_the realm of consciousness. Nothing But McGovern. There was but a single man in the ring at any time of the fight. McGovern was there with both his fists, small in size, but Marty Bergen, is attracting general at- tentfon of late. Marty lost a small for- tune as an owner of thoroughbreds and is endeavoring to buiid up another one. Walter B. Jennings, who for years has been one of the foremost figures on the American turf, owning and training some of the most noted performers, joined the ranks of the benedicts In this city vester- day.

Gardner was nothing but a subject, something to receive punishment for a limited duration and, when endurance and physical strength had left him, to fall to the ground, heipless and beaten. Gardner showed pluck. He took a beating, several beatings, came back for more, shuffled out a brief space of fizhting in trying to stay with the game and then collapsed. He closed finally like a jackknife. So one-sided was the fight that the club | has been censured for bringing McGovern and Gardner together. It is safe to s=ay, however, that McGovern is so far beyond anything else i his class that no real con- test results when he is matched with one of his own weight. The public did not see a fight last night in the sense of a contest, as it was McGovern in the borne, McGovern in ke flesh and McGovern in the blood. And this same Terry has im- proved on his former self. Eastern ex. perts find the same dash, the same unre- lenting vigor and forcefulness in his methods of attack, combined now with a clever defense. He is shifty on his feet, fast as a man can be, and he never slows down. As soon as the referee has sep- arated him from his opponent he is back again at the human mark, hammering, smashing, Churnlnfi‘, never satisfied until the referee waves him over to his corner and the battle is won. Crowd Not Enthusiastic. Both fighters weighed in at Harry Cor- bett's yesterday afternoon. The weight limit was 124 pounds. McGovern did not raise the beam even with a shirt on his back and Gardner just made it. This being satisfactory to all concerned the referee had no announcement to make when the men came together in the ring last night. Gardner was first to arrive and he received a humble cheer from the crowd which was not enthuslastic. It was E MUDLARKS WITH MARKED SUCCESS AT OAKLAND TRACK GARDNER HAS NO EXCUSES. —_—— Gardner revived very quickly and was able to leave the ring with but slight assistance. After being rubbed down he donned his street clothes and unlike McGov- ern received the condolences of his friends. The latter, howecer, praised Oscar for his gameness and assured him that he had put | | -up a good fight, but it was diffi- | | cult to make him believe it. Gard- ner showed signs of having en- gaged in a fistic exhibition. His face was badly swollen and pre- sented a sad appearance. | “The first punch did the busi- | | ness,” he said, in explaining his defeat. “As soon as I got the | clip alongside the jaw I was dazed | | and remained so for all times. I was in splendid shape and the only excuse I can off:r is that McGov- ern is a better man. He has im- | | proved wonderfully since our first meeting. He is even faster and seems to have developed his punching powers. He dazed me and I put up a poor fight. I missed time and again.” After donning his street clothes Gardner went upstairs and paid his respects to McGovern. He shook hands with his vanquisher and they had a little heart-to- heart talk. Gardner is now one of McGovern's stanchest admirers.

Then | came the ‘‘Terrible” himself, followed by | Harris, Dukelow and little Danny Dough- erty, who won a prize but had it taken from him by a misguided referee. At no time were the spectators fight mad as they have been before and hope to be agam. There were no thrilling moments, no situations provocative of heart palpi- of a good size, tations. “Hit him again, Terry’—and hit him again Terry did—was the ery from the unenthuslastic spectators. Gardner's portion was a lamentation. Jack Gleason, manager of the Twenticth Century Athletic Club, was arrested just before the fight by Corporal Eagan, who charged him with committing. battery on an officer. Gleason was released on bail. Eagan claims that he started to enter the Pavilion, but was prevented by Gleason, and that in the scuffle that followed the manager struck him. McGovern the Terrible.

They are both strong and willing and game to the core and put ur a fight that will not be duplicated here for some time. | McGovern is a marvel and “Terrible | Terry” is a fit name for the Brooklyn boy. .His punches possess power enough } to put a much larger man than Gardner | to sleep, and he lands them just where | they are most harmful. | The fight, of course, was a trifle one- slded, but Terry has it in him to make any contest in which he enters appear all McGovern. He is all fight from the sound of the gong and keeps at his opponent in a manner that only a man in the best of | condition could. He is not afraid of a punch and sometimes takes a desperate chance to land one of his own. He is clever and remarkably fast on his feet | and never loses his head. Gardner is one of the gamest men I Lave &ver seen in the ring. He stood McGovern's powerful blows and came back' for more. “For Gardner it was an | uphill fight, as he had to contend against | a man stronger and quicker than himself, | and above all, a man many years his | junior.

Gardner’s short, | shuffling legs and much battered face made him seem an old man compared with the strong boy opposite.

McFadden seemed to possess the stiffer | punch, but he was unabie to find the Phil- adelphia boy. Dougherty was a_veritable will o’ the wisp and fii_ted round the ring so fast that McFadden could never land kis glove with directness. The bout was one of the best ever put was no let-up in his fistic furnishings. ‘Three times he had Gardner down on his | haunches and once on the flat of his back. | A left punch on the vulnerable point of | the chin was the first severe blow struck, | and it made the fight an easy one for Terry ever after. Were it not for the bell that sounded, Gardner's second fight with McGovern might have lasted but a single round. { When the second spasm was unrolled | Gardner’s legs seemed suddenly made heavy. The punishment he took in was tremendous, but he returned—but never spry or seemingly happy—for more, which | he got in double portions. Terry was there | all the time, whether Gardner was looking | or not. Left and right, boring holes into | Gardner, Terry was relentiess yet fair | and honest in every blow struck. ‘ Out of the Ring Goes Gardner. | In the third round the blood began to| spurt and roll out of Gardner’'s nose and | mouth as the heavy straight left and | right smashes would find a smackful rest- | ing place on his head or face. There was one fitful mix-up in this round in which | Terry received a reminder or two that he | was In a fight. Then he went at his game | with renewed vigor. Clenching his teeth, | half closing his eyes and straining his museles MeGovern began a hammering | act that would make him a leader among | the elect. By a fistic whirlwind or two or three he had Gardner out of the ring and sprawling all_over the reporters on | the stand below. Helped within the ropes | Gardner came back only to be saved by the gong. Right Body Punch Did It Round 4 and the end was installed. Two, three, four, five, six times Gardner was dropped in his tracks. He was dazed, stunned, groggy, but gamely held on. Iie knew full well that all chances for stay- ing had evanesced, had been beaten to a nothingness, just as his own hopes of vic- tory had been crushed, yet he tottered to his feet and fought on. Then came the stomach punch which ended all. It was another victory for Terry, the sixth de- feat for Gardner out of 509 fights. McFadden on a Foul. Danny Dougherty of Philadelphia out- | fought and outgeneraled “Kid"" McFadden | of this city in their ten-round bout, but | Referee Eckart saw fit to award the fight | to the local boxer on a foul. His decision | did not find favor with the spectators and | he was roundly hooted. Dougherty should have been deciared the victor, as his work was far better than the showing made WANTS AN EASTERN REFEREE. Manager Sam Harris is on the warpath. He wants Referee Eck- hart's scalp. He claims that Dougherty was robbed out of a just decision. He states that Dougherty did not foul McFadden and believes that his man was the victim of a trick. “Local men are all right, but I want an Eastern man for a referee in future. I was handed one to- night and I want to say that it was an out-and-otit robbery.” + . Results on Eastern Tracks.

He landed time after time on the id” and got away without a return. When McFadden landed Dougherty felt the sting, but like a wise boxer side- stepped and blocked until safe and out of reach. In the opinion of hundreds at the ring- side McFadden should never have won on a foul. When knocked to his Kknees in the tenth round, the “Kid" was be- wildered. He heard the count and was making a move to rise to his feet when Dougherty, in_his eagerness, led: for his head. The referee promptly disqualified him and when it dawned on the crowd there were hoots and jeers for him. Eck- hart did not prove the best referee in the world. He seemed to be in a maze throughout the bout. In his perplexity he would walk over to where Charley White, the well known referee, was_sitting, and mutely appeal for advice, but none was given him. When McFadden was sent to the floor in the Jast round it was his duty to jump between the fighters, and his negléct to do so resulted in an um- satisfactory ending to an excellent, box- ing contest. —————— The hairdesser feels no compunctions about dying an old mald. - e ADVERTISEMENTS.
