Ferns shared honors with Jack O'Brien in the matter of taking punishment. It seemed impossible for flesh and blood to withstand the buffeting those two boxers did. Nelll did not escape unhurt, as he had a big discoloration just over his kidneys, caused by the frequent visitation of Ferns' glove. The Californian won be- cause he could think guicker than could his opponent and was by far the cleverer boxer. Both were in splendid condition, but Neill was sald to have a decided pull in-the weights, although he did not look heavier than his stocky opponent. Ferns' recuperative powers were the marvel of the spectators. The attendance was the largest ever seen in Woodward's Pavilion, there being barely standing room in any part of the house. It was the first professional tour- ament of the Hayes Valley Athletic Club, and the spectators had more than a run for their money. The blow which sent Ferns to his knees and 1o defeat In the twelfth round was a right-hand uppercut on the chin. A mo- | ment before just such a blow landed and dazed the Kansas man.

He forcea Neill to the ropes near Neill's corner and stirred up as neat a bit of four-hand slugging as could well be imagined. Neither man tried to guard, but swung right and left at heau and body.

A small field of six started in the half- mile dash for two-year-olds, with Nigrette ruling an 11 to 20 favorite. Larry Daly bad the leg up and after getting away from the post none too well, downed Es- carola a length.

E. M. Brattain, a well played one, ran third. Andy Blakeley’s useful mare, Lady Aeddlesome, made it—four straight by capturing the second mile and fifty vard run.

LIVERPOOL, March 21.—Sportsmen turned out in force to-day to see the Grand National steeplechase run, though the interest of the general public in the event waped with the scratching of King Edward’s cntry, Ambush II, and the knowledge that his Majesty consequently would not attend the meeting. The Eexton Park plate was won by Wolfe’s Hall (Martin), Rushlight (Maher) was second and Littie Widow was third. This opened the way for the Grand Na- tional steeplechase, of 2525 sovereigns, a handicap for five-year-olds and upward, distance about four miles and 86 yard: This race was won by Shannon Lass. Matthew was second and Manifesto was third. Twenty-one horscs ran. None of the favorites secured a place. The three placed horses started, respec- tively, at 20 to 1 against, 50 to I against and )10 to 6 against. Drumcro, the favor- ite, never showed in front. A horse with a very similar name, Drumree, led to the beeches, where Barsac drew to the front, but gave way over the water to Helium. Then Matthew assumed the lead, but was passed at the last fence by Shannon Lass, who won by three lengths.

New Yorker’s Seconds Throw Up the Sponge in the Eleventh. Rufe Turner of Stockton stopped Jack O'Brien in the twelfth round of their bout after the New Yorker had taken an in- credibie amofint of punishment. Four times the gong sounded ‘‘corners” and saved ‘him from being knocked out. In the last round O’Brien was knocKed down with clean blows three - distinct times, staying down four seconds, six sec- onds and again four seconds. When he regained his feet the jast time he stag- gered blindly toward his corner ard his seconds threw up a towel as a signdl of defeat: After his long career in the ring O'Brien has never been absolutely knocked out. There was some delay after the Ifirst fight, and In _response to impatient calis from the gallery “Billy” Jordan stepped In the ring and announced: ‘“‘Gentlemen—O’Brien overslept l\lms}e{lé will be in the ring in a few minute: After the fight commenced ‘a’ whisper went through the house to the effect tnat O'Brien had been drinking.

He made up for this by his game- ness and by his ability to take punish- ment. * e Turner was in splendld condition and had the fight well in hand from the start.

SHARKEY IS NOW INVITED. Club in Los Angeles Wearies of Ef- forts With Fitz. LOS ANGELES, March 21.—It now looks as though negotiations between the Cen- tury Athletic Club and Fitzsimmons were oft. The club is seeking another man-to the Cornishman as a probability. * In line with this decision a message was view of matching him against Jeffries for a fight to take place in this ‘city about May 10. Jeffries is anxlous to fight, and has all along been ready to accept the offers made by the Century Club for_ the match with Fitzsimmons. The negotiations of yesterday. in which Fitzsimmons delivered his final dema\d for 75 per cent of the gate receipts and a 000 guarantee, determined the club of- ficials to drop him. Thomas MeCarey, president of the Century Club, sald to- “We are tired of this fooling and can't afford to_dicker with Fitzsimmons any longer. Our offer of a $25,000 cash guar- antee is the best ever made to a defeated fighter to meet his victor a :efiond time. How foolish we would be to ®ld against our own proposition when there aré no competitors in the fleld. Fitzsimmons ar. rogates to himself the right to dictate un- reasonable terms, and we won't stand for it. There is only one conclusion to be drawn, and that is that he does not want to fight Jeffries at all. Jeffries wants a match, and we have sent a telegram to Sharkey, believing him to be the only other avallable man. If he' comes to terms with us we shall go right on. and make preparations for a fight in the first week of May."” landing the most blows in a siugging | O'Brien Kkept boring in all the time, but | damage. | Turner sending. rights and lefts to head | take his place and has ceased to consider | sent this afternoon to Sharkey with the | GUS GARDNER MAKES A VERY - POOR SHOWING Stands Up for Six Rounds Before - Frank Erne, but v, Is- Never in ths Battle Toward End of the Con- test the Crowd Shows Its Di-pleasure by Hootinz C of Philadelphia at the end of six rounds to-night.

On the strength of his recent victory over George -McFadden, Gardner was thought to have a good chance with Erne, | but he put up a very poor fight. He was throughout on the defensive, and it wa: a dectdedly inferior defense at that.
