Lowell Lad to Fight Joe GansGeorge Gardiner and Joe Gans will | probably be the first card presented to the patrons of the prize ring after the Britt-Kelson fight is over, unless a match Is secured for the winner with either of the two 'men named.Gans holds the title as champion of the lightweight class, inasmuch as he won on a foul from Britt last December. While Gans holds the title on a fluke. Britt is really the lightweight champion. Gans is one of the hardest men in the fighting game and it Is doubtful if Britt will ever fight him. Stitt draws the color line in the first place and on the other hand Gans has outgrown the 133 pound limit, at which Britt fights. So that there Is little probability that Gans and Britt will ever meet. Gans will be recognized as the colored champion of his class, and Britt the white champion, unless young Mr, Nelson should administer defeat to the plumber lad.Gardiner and Gans would make a great fight. They could both fight I around 136 to the best advantage, and j from their style of fighting and their* record in the ring in the past it is oer-j tain that they would put up a grilling i match. Gardiner comes very close loj being the welterweight lt;hamnion. and i ■will probably in the future devote hllt; energies to developing himself in thati class. In reality Gans has outgrown the lightweight division and will in* future fights, he boxing around thewelter mark.And incidentally, speaking of Gans. it can be said that he j«= one of the greatest of the small men in the ring today. He has been fighting for eleven years and seems to have toe stamina of Kitzstnmions. in that he has been fighting long after the limit where most fighters go to the realm of the has b 'ens. Every year for more than a Je-lt; ade he has fought from ten to a score of battles and he has been defeated; but comparatively few times. !
