OSCAR GARDNER IS
CRIPPLEDO FOR LIFE
"OMAHA KID" MUST UNDERGO AN
OPERATION AND CAN NEVER EN
TER THE RING AGAIN.
SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUN'TAIN.
Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 7.-Oscar
Gardner, the Omaha Kid, and well-known
to the followers of boxing as the "iron
man," will never participate in a hard ring
battle again. At the present time Oscar is
running a sample room with his brother
Eddie in Minneapolis, his origina' home.
Oscar will be obliged to undergo an opera
tion for the stretching of a piece of muscle
in his knee; otherwise he will -e slightly
lame for the balance of his life.
Doctors have advised him to have the
operation performed, as the trouble can
be remedied, but even then the "iron man"
will be unable to continue his ring battles,
as a straining of the cords in his leg might
create even greater trouble for h.m. Oscar
recently said that while he was in good
condition he dared not trust himself in the
ring, as his leg would surely give out after
a few minutes of work. He preterred to
retire with his present goon record, and
there are few boxers who can boast of
more good performances in the roped areas
than the "Lmaha Kid."

WHAT FIGHTERS SAY INN RING
How a Pat Word or Phrase Gets Their Opponent to Going and Often
Paves the Way for Victory--Sharkey and Fitzsimmons and How
Pitz Would Repeatedly Give the Sailor the Wrong Tip.
The following account of sayings of
fighters in the ring was written by Charlie
White for the New York World and is
about as interesting a story as was ever
told concerning the pugs and their doings.
A clever fighter never neglects any
legitimate chance to heat his antagonist.
The talking that goes on between two men
who are punching each other in the ring
is nearly always done for e,,ect. I don't
suppose that any man in the business
would know what you meant if you talked
to him about hypnotism by suggestion, and
yet that is just what any clever man will
try to do to his opponent-say something
that will make him think he is beaten.
I have heard hundreds of amusing dia
logues in the ring as I, as referee, stood
close to two fellows who were trying to
put each other to sleep with their fists. I
can't remember them all, of course, but
some of them I shall never forget. For
example, when Jim Jeffries was defending
the championship against Jim Corbett that
nigl.t at Coney Island Corbett flew around
the big fellow like a nimble deerhound
around a big stag, jabbing and worrying
him almost as he pleased. Naturally, if he
could make Jeff think that he had him at
his mercy, that state of mind would help
him to victory: so after whirling a left
hook on the champion's mouth Corbett
laughed and exclaimed:
"Why, Jeff, I taught you all you know
out at Carson City, but I kept a few things
up my sleeves. I'm going to spring them
on you tonight."
This didn't worry Jeffries a little bit.
lie grinned his good-natured, schoolboy
grin, as he answered:
"Well, I have a few tricks that I never
showed you out there, Jim; but I will show
them to you pretty soon.
In the twenty-third round Jeffries swung
his left on Corbett's jaw and put him down
and out. Corbett was still dazed when he
got up, andl his seconds had to lead him
back to his corner.
JeffTries came over with a look on his
face as if he was sorry for what he had
(lone and wanted to apologize for it.
"Say. Jim," he exclaimed, "I fought you
fair. didcn't I ?"
"\Well. I don't know,' answered Corbett,
who had not quite come to. "It was a
good fight, wasn't it? I guess it's all
right. Jeff."
Knockout's Effeoot.
The effect of a knockout on a man is
always curious. I remember Jack Downey
was knocked down by Jim Burge, the Iron
Mlan, one night, and only the gong at the
endl of the round saved him from being
counted rAl. As he camne to his corner his
eyes had a faraway expression. I asked
him how he felt.
"Hully." lie replied; "I can lick the
whole five of them."
"All right, .lack. I told him: "just try
andl punch the middle one, and then you
willI he right."
'l'erry Mlct;overn and Young Corbett in
their whirlwind fight at Hlartford for the
ch':impionship a year ago didn't talk much.
lut their words canme out as fast as their
,hows, and they were the quickest I ever
-aw in any ring. In the first round, in a
hot mix.up, a right swing of Young Cor
Lett's landed on Mfct,overn's head and
lazed him for perhaps one second. He
PETER MANER IS
GOING TO STAY IN
IRISH GIANT HAS CHANGED HIS
MIND AGAIN AND WILL NOT
LEAVE THE RING.
s"II'IA. T Trie INTIER MOL'NTAIN.
l'hilade phia, Jan. 7.--"I guess that I
will have to change my mind again,," said
Peter aMaher. the Irish giant.
"You see, the other day I was so dis
gusted with my luck in the fighting line
that I gave out my retirement. Friends
have conic to me urging that I stay in the
game in hopes that there would be a
change in fortune. They point out that
others who have been in a losing rut have
conte to the front again.
"I guess that they are right. So the old
man will stay at the business."
Maher may never be a champion, no
matter how long he keeps at the fighting,
but as long as he has his famous punch
with hint he will be a dangerous opponent
for some fighters who claim champion
ships. There is one thing to Peter's
credit-as long as he is on his feet the
public can always get a run for its money.
..s he says himself:
"It is either me or the other fellow that
is down and out, and there is little of the
fancy business about any of the battles I
fight."
AMONG TI
..
NEW YORK TROUBLE ON. YET
New York, Jan. 7.-The work of conm
pleting the repairs in the city hall, which
were suspended some days ago in conse
quence of labor troubles, is still held up.
A motion made by the contractors in the
supreme court for an order requiring Bor
ough President Cantor to show cause why
he should not be restrained from interfer
ing with the workmen was withdrawn Mon
day, with the understanding, it is said
that the compromise could be effected. So
far, however, there is apparently no set
tlement in sight.
Demand for Inorease Refused.
St. Louis, Jan. ?.-It is stated by a
railroad official high in railroad circles
that the request of the committee of train
men of Western systems to increase wages
ao per cent has been decisively refused by
all roads in St, Louis.
For More Pay,
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 7.-The grievance
committees of the Order of Railway Con
ductors and Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen formally presented to General
Manager Mudge of tne Santa Fe road, a
petition for an Inerease in wages
jumped back, took a deep breath and
rushed in again.
"Stung you up some. didn't it?" asked
Young Corbett, with a grin.
"Why wouldn't it?" says Terry. "It
was with the right."
"Yes, but I'm there with the left, too,"
said Corbett.
"All right," Terry ans'wers. "I'm there
with one too."
Just then he swtung his left in a terriflo
hook that caught Young Corbett on the
belly and knocked him down on his
knees.
Fit, and Sharkey.
When Fitzsimmons and Sharkey fought
at Coney Island some time after their
battle at San Fruancisco the sailor, who had
improved a great deal in the meantime,
rushed at Fits, swinging both hands. His
left caught Fits on the jaw and shook
him up pretty well.
"That's a good one, Tom I" exclaimed
Fits.
' es, and here collme another one." said
Snarkey; "I'm not as easy as you nmight
think."
Tom had the best of the round and had
Fits on the defensive. As they started
back to their corners at the close of the
round Fitzsimmons turned and winked and
grinned at the sailor.
"Just wait till you see me sink the
ship," he prophesied. "The ship." of
course, was the fine, big, full-rigged three
master that Tom had tattooed on his enor
mous chest.
In the next round Fitzsimmons suddenly
exclaimed: "'Ere now, Tomn, 'ere goes for
your face."
Unthinkingly the sailor threw up his
guard to protect his jaw. and just then
Fitasimmons' right, in a fierce uppercut,
landed on the keel of that big blue ship
like a torpedo. The keel is just about on
Sharkey's solar plexus.
The ship reeled, quivered and slowly
sank to the floor with all on board. Tont
was a great rallier, however, and in a few
seconds he was up and tighting again.
Once more Fitz told him: "'Ere's one
for your face," and as Tom threw his
arms up Fits's fist landed under the ship
again and this time poor Tom was dlown
and out.
"Oh I" says Fitz. "I meant to say,
'Ere's one for the ship."
MoCoy and Maher.
The most effective conversation. judg
ing by results, that I ever heard in the
ring, was between "Kid" McCoy and Peter
Maher in their celebrated fight at Coney
island on New Year's day. They clinched
in the second round and McCoy held
Maher's arms so that he could not move.
Then he looked him in the eye and smiled
his malicious, cold, sneering smile and
said :
"Well, you big stilT. I see you are in
the newspapers hollering for sympathy be
cause your wife is sick. \'ell. when I get
through with you, you will want more
sympathy than ever."
As a matter of fact. I'ter', wife was
terribly sick at that time. W\hen he heard
McCoy's words, the Irishman became
frantic with resentment and, of course,
that helped McCoy beat him."
W\'hcn the fight was over Mc('oy went
over to Peter's corner and shook hands
with him.
