Delaney for the EFFRIES and Ruhlin will fight in I this city—so say their representa tives, Billy Madden and Billy De- laney. Ruhlin is now here; Jeffries is still at Harbin Springs. At a meeting last night between De- | laney and Madden, who arrived yeslg,rdn." forenoon with Rublin and “Denver” Ed Martin, an agreement was reached to sign articles on Tuesday afternoon of next week at Harry Corbett’s. The ar- ement Wi et o AFoce drawn up for the meeting Which was scheduled to take place at Cincinnati, and which was so sadly inter- fered with by the Governor of Ohio. Madden and Delaney have gone even as far as the selection of a referee. Both are satisfied to accept George Siler as the third party in the ring. They will insert his name in the referee clause of o ‘h"\'::r‘vk;}): articles are signed next Tues- day afternoon by principals and repre- sentatives a $2500 forfeit will be posted by both fighters for appearance in the ring on the date set and a readiness to fight. Harry Corbett will be named the stakgholder. Jlme Jeffries was asked over the tele- nhone last night whether he would meet Ruhlin on the terms of the Cincinnati agreement. He replled: “I will Ruhlin sccording to any agreement De- janey makes. 1 am ready, so if Delaney and Madden come to an understanding T will sign when called upon.” Ruhlin re- les entirely upon his manager, Billy Mad- den.

Both Madden and Delaney are satisfled to fight before the club offering the best | inducements. Other things being equal the San Francisco Club will get the fight, as it is favored by Delaney and not ob- ! jectionable to Madden. Financial condi- | tions will be taken into consideration be- | fore a aate is agreed upon. The man- | agers of the fighters are anxious for a | date at which the strike will be settled | and when the racing contingent is on the ground. There is little likellhood of the fight taking place before November or December. Ruhlin took a drive yesterday after- noon to Blankin's training quarters, where he met several of his old friends He will train @t this place. Jeffries will spend most of his time at the springs, doing the final work at Oakland. | FAST AND CLEVER BOUTS. Lively Milling Before the San Fran- cisco Athletic Club. | 1t the cubic air ordinance was enforced | the management of the San Francisco | Athletic Club would be liable to 2 fine. | Last night the clubrooms of the organiza- tlon were so crowded that the spectators | were given a Turkish bath in addition to | an excejlent boxing exhibition. They also had the pleasure of gazing on the classic | features of Gustavus Ruhlin, the Akron from the brow_of James Jeffrles of the Golden State. Mr. Ruhlin made a gracc- ful bow, but refrained from delivering a speech. The programme contained eight bouts. Of this number three ended suddenly in the first round. Alec Greggains refereed the bouts. Robby Johnson and Mike Maher pum- meled each other lustily for four rounds and ihegud‘es declared the bout a draw. “Stub” Sutherland, a youth with a super- abundance of chest. tried conclusions with “Kid" Parker, but came out second best. Parker outpointed “Stub” ten to one, and was given a decision. Fred Landers and Joe Broadshaw fought four rounds to a draw. Billy Carr and Jack Porter battled for the ‘“Belle of Bran- nan street,”” and Carr won the fair maid- en in the first round. Porter was no match for his lanky opponent. Carr pos- sessed the abilit o swing his arms at any angle and landed when and where he pleased. George Erdalatz proved himself the cleverest lad that entered the ring dur- ing the entertalnment. He defeated a vouth named Jack McCarthy after ome round of battling. Erdaletz not only possesses a punch, but uses his head, and will make a number of amateurs look to their laurels. % Pete McGee had a comparatively easy time with Jack Duffy. The latter lasted two rounds and a half. Mike Curtin and Teddvy Wolff fought four clever rounds and the judges declared it a draw. “Cy clone” Kelly placed Sid Hall hors de com bat in half a round.

Y., Aug. 16.—All that goes to make racing successful has at- tended the first week of the Saratoga As- soclation’s meeting. Never before in the history of this famous place have there been so many people here, and several days before the date set for the races to begin it was evident that the prestige' ac- eruing to the sport when William C. Whit- nev took over the plant from a gang of uttenburg grafters for the.sole reason of lending it tome and bringing Saratoga closer to the Jockey Club than it could ever bave been under its old management was of the most pronounced sort. Saratoga is different from any other course on which the thoroughbreds meet in America. Here racing is essentially the sport of the rich. There is a notice- able absence of the small fry and piking outfits, that do nothing on other race- tracks but get in the way, interfere with the business of the ring and make the grand stands uncomfortable on warm days. Every section of the country Is rep- resented at the current meeting. Horse- men and bookmakers from California are chasing the nimble doilars so liberally of- fered by the association with their breth- ren from New York. Of course, the “Dbig guns” of the Metropolitan Bookmakers Association are in a decided majority. One uld_have imagined himself at Sheeps- ead Bav on Suburban day from a good Jook at the ring. The whole New York contingent moved bag and baggage to the spa when the last race was run at Brigh- ton last Saturday night. Very few of the best horses remained in Gotham, and there enough in class and numbers in the stables to make the meeting stand out most prominently as the greatest this historic turf center has ever known. The opening days of the meeting found the talent on top with a big shade. The layers have had to content themselves with a succession of bad breaks as sel dom come together in a few davs. They £ot 2 morsel of comfort when Rockton, an outsider. won the rich Saratoga handl cap, but the same day Mr. Whitney's Goldsmith. running for as much money s any horse in the big race. brought rome the classic Flash stakes and there- by put in a crimp that will take a deal of smoothing before the benk rolls fatten up to_their original size. Senator O'Brien and J. W. Schorr fell hard recently when Hans Wagner fin- ished_outside the money in the first race. The Memphis hrewi‘i‘and the Minnesota statesman went to the long price about Hans as if it were a shame to take the money. That grotesque pot boy, Woods, rode the colt a country fair race or he might have taken the place. The winner, Schwalbe. a black filly, bred and raced by the smiling Schreiber, will bear a deal of watching. as she won off by her- self and is probably almost the equal of the best representative of that remarkable sire, imported Sain. 8ain is undoubtedly one of the coming sires of the country, and the St. Louls Burgomaster. it would seem. is about to be rewarded for his loyalty to the breeding game after having sunk a fortune in horse flesh and broad acres. It is hard to recall a sire of Sain’s age and opportunities that has sent out such sterling progeny as Corrigan. Otis, Zirl_and Schawlbe. Schrelber has any number of royally bred mares at his stock farm. all chosen with rare discrimination in_blood lines and individuali Mr. Whitney's Goldsmith was undoubt- edly the best two-year-old seen at the meeting until Otis appeared. He is a son of imported Meddler, out of the old Lor- illard mare Kildeer. one of the fastest ever in training. An idea of Goldsmith's auality was had when he won the Flash stakes Monday. After going the first ouarter he was sixth. pinned on the rafl and apparently hopelessly beaten. Tur- mer. the most patient and daring of jock- evs. worked the colt out of his difficulties cleverly and struck smonth safling a fur- long from home. Then he rode a race to he likened only to the sort Snanper Gar- rison nsed to put up. Driving like an en- #ine. Goldsmith got up in time to snatch the stake by a nose. He was twenty povnds the best horse in the race and beat a field of splendid class. Turner has got ack to the form that first made him fa- mons.

WHITE. a voung hand at the game Cochran is a rider of excellent judgment, a strong fin- isher and has many vears of usefulness ahead of him. The boy's habits are good, which is to say he has in that respect an inestimable advantage over many of the older pilots who go the route at all gaits after the races are over for the day. Quite a contest between August Bel- mont_and Clarence Mackay developed over John Bullman's services when it was known he would not ride under his con- tract with Hildreth in the West. Mr. Bel- mont secured the premier rider of the late Washington Park meeting at a salary known to be liberal in the extreme, al- though the terms of the contract were not announced. Mounce, the Idaho light- weight, who rode so cleverly last winter on the Pacific Coast and came East to ride the Belmont horses, has not lived up to his California reputation. and was re- leased bv the Jockey Club's president as soon as Bullman joined the stable. Mounce rides on very much the same plan as Win- nie O'Connor does. a penchant for riding one occasionally in his own interest has been strengthened since he crossed the mountains. His finish on Lady Viola Thursday could not have stultified the formbook and brought grief to the layers by failing to get anything on horses that appeared to be moral cinches. Pittsburg Phil" has in Shaw a 1ad who will improve with experience. He does not ask an ounce from any rider on the Eastern tracks, but time will have lo bring him that judgment which makes the finished jockey nowadays. Shaw rode. f anything. better than any boy at New | Yorlk eariler in the season. coming to Sar- |atoga with an extraordinary percentage ¢f winning movnts to his credit. Cochran and Shaw will both gn to California aft the season closes at Bennings, and as a the star riders of last season will retur for the coming season San Franeisco will have a better array of riding talent than she had even Jast vear. Schreiber showed up his Saln colt Ofls on Thursday in a manner that convinced' the wise heads. Rarely is a two-vear-old set the task of giving away weight in the auantities that Otis did to older horses In the opening race. Running as true as steel. Otis.beat Relle of Memphis with plenty left in good time, considering the wretched condition of the track. The colt i on edge now and it will take some sort of a race horse to do anvthing with him during the rest of the season. Unfortu- nately. not knowing what the first crop of Sair’s get would amount to, Schreiber failed to nominate him for the Futurity. which he would assuredly have a grand chance of landing could he start. Some Aoubt exists whether Otis is by Sain or by imp. Foul Shot. As all of the colts sent frem the Missour] farm as represen- tatives of Sain have won and. moreover Ziven evidence of being In the first class, it is only reasonable to infer fhat Otls is a son of Sain. The Fonl Shot horses are a1l soft. awkward and quitters. While they have spe=d in abundance for a short route, they invariably curl under pinish- ment and are of very Jittle account. Some- bodv unloaded a package of green gnods on Schrelber when he vaid for Foul Shot. but_the wily Teuton made gond when he erahbed Saln in California at a _ridicu- lously small price and installed him as mester of his heautiful stud farm in the Mississippi Valley. The sensation of the week has been the aftempt made by Dan Stewart and Cale Mitchell to hreak up gambling at the Saratoga Club and do dire things to Rich- ard A. Canfield. its proorietor. Saratoea without Canfleld_and the Saratoga Club would be like a Kentucky toddy without sugar. Doubles and cases are as popular here as watermelons at a camp meeting. Represented bv the best legal talent. Stewart and Mitchell startad out to hreak into Saratoga or run Canfleld out. Thev have given the boss gambler a deal of trouble and tied him wp for the next Grznd Jury to untle. but the little ivory ball s still spinning sednctively and the silver bnx working as industriously as of vore. The entire business community of the village is in favor of the Canfield en- terprises. Renator Rrackett. who things volifical In the district on same lines followed bv his colleague.

Losses of $3000 or winnings of as much do net occa- slon even ordinary comment. The battle between the rival gamblers grew out of Cale Mitchell's inability to conduct a faro bank on Broadwa the most prominent thoroughfare in the vil- iqase. Mitchell was told he could open a ouse anywhere else and enjoy the same Immunity accorded the other clubs, but he couldn’t see it that way. He proposed to run when and where he pleased or plug the roulette wheels and turn over the boxes everywhere else. Stuart joined is- Sues with him in fighting Canfield be- cause he was not permitted to run a pool- room on the Western races within. one hundred feet of the racetrack. In former years, when George Walbaur: and the rest of the precious crew of Gut- tenberg fame were in control of the rac- ing. poolrooms were a part and parcel of the Saratoga summer. Men like William C. Whitney. however, are not in the pool- room business, and when they paid a fancy price for the histovic racing ground to get it from under the influence of a pack of wolves he naturally could not stand for the poolroom nuisance and at ghe same time expect to make Saratoga the American Ascot.

St San Franeisco 6, Los Angeles 4. Full of features was the baseball game at Recreation-grounds yesterday after- noon. The Los Angeles team, confident and boastful, met disaster to the sad music of 6-4, Joned was riddled in one inning almost beyond repair, Householder and Schwartz engaged in a bit of rowdy- ism, the ball went oyer the center field fence and Rube Levy was alternately good and bad without any particular manifestation of favoritism. The crowd enjoyed itself thoroughly, cackling and shouting all the time. 3 Hank Harris, who has a reputation for running a team on bedrock prices, was there with his two pitchers, Tburg and Whalen. The latter was in the box and came off with a record of ten hits against his name. The locals fell on Jones, Nor- dyke opening the fire by losing the ball over the center field fence with a drive that seemed as if it would never end. It was perhaps the longest®ever made on the grounds. This happened in the third inning. and before the Wasps took to the field the scorer rang six bells and regis- tered six hits in their favor. Jones was fairly slaughtered. Out of the six hits one was for a home run and another for three bags. The run-getting stopped with this inning, but the local team kept right along In its swatting career. In the sixth the Angels had a chance to redeem themselves and return to heaven. Then Whalen suffered. The Angels added up four runs and four hits before = the inning over. For a time it looked as the score would be tled, but death came before this could be accomplished. TUncle Henry gesticulated in a frenzied sort of way when the Los Angeles stickers were rapping the spheroid. and even went SO far as to think whether it would not be financially painful to hire another pitcher to help ont Tburg and Whalen during the season.

Most of the local busi ness houses closed in honor for the after- nocn. The weather was delightful. Bet- ting was lively after the first race and the local event called out all kinds of in. “Ilie opening event was a 2:30 pace for a purse of $500. But two contestants re- sponded to the bell. They were White- head's speedy little sorrel Toppy and Ad- vertiser, the latter with Ed Lafferty up. Toppy had it all his own way, taking | three straight heats in 2:15%, 2:15% and 2:15%.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—The Constitution drifted across the finish line late this evening a winper over the Columbia by 31 minutes nd 23 seconds. This difference in time, however, does not represent the difference In speed between the two yachts, for a very large part of the big margin was entirely due to a fluke in the light airs while the boats were safling the second round of the triangular course of fifteen miles. It occurred just as the Constitution was rounding the first mark. Both yachts had come up from the home mark on a broad reach with a southwest wind. the Consti- tution leading by about two minutes. As they approached the stakeboat black clouds which had been gathering in the northwest brought with them a small rain squall and sudden change of wind. The Constitution was able to turn on the | southwest wind and immediatelv after | take the northwester, which drifted her | out into the middle of the sound., while the Columbia was makinz for the mark close hauled on the port tack in the verv last wind of the first northwest squall, This gave the Constitution an epportunitv to take advantage of the westerly wind which followed out in the sound. while the Columbia lay almost becalmed at the mark. This settled the race. for there- after the Columbia was out of it. The contest of sneed was altorether tn | the first round. while the wind, which was at all times Jight. held as it did. On every leg the new boat gained and matn- tained a reonvtation as a wonderfully faat yvacht in soft airs. But the Columbla, with her perfect sails. was also going fast. and in the first fiffeen miles the new boat only made up twenty seconds over her time allowance.” The most notewnsrthy ¥spectator of the race was Captain Svea- more of the Shamrock TT. who came from New York on the tue Tawrence and fol- | lowed the racers over the courss. Tt was his first view of the American boats and | he got a very valuable line on the light | weather aualities of his rival. | The race was he'd nndar fhe ausplees of the Larchment Yacht Club. — Harris Gets More Material. | Harris has signed Park Wilson. an old- | time player. well known to local dfamond ! enthusiasts, FHe was on the bench ves- | terday and will pla~_an infleld position in the near future.
