BIG FIGHTS TO
 BE FOUGHT SOON
Heavy Weight Boxing Matches
 Arranged in New York.
FITZSIMM0NS AND RUHLlN
The Cornishman Has Also Signed an Agreement to Fight Sharkey as
 Soon as He is Through
 With the New Wonder

New York, July 1O.-Henavy-weight box ing matches between first class publists were arranged to take place before the Horton boxing law goes out of effect. The first match will be on August 10 between Bob Fitzsimmons and Gus Ruhlin, who lately defeated Sharkey. The other will be between Fitzsimmons and Tom Sharkey on about August 25.
 The articles of agreement for the Fitz- simmons Ruhlin bout call for a boxing contest of twenty-five rounds under Mar quis of Queensberry rules before the club offering the best inducements. The winner to receive 75 per cent and the loser 25 per cent of the prize money. Bids for the con- test are left open for one week. Charley White is named the referee, and Harry Beecher was made the final stakeholder, with whom each side today deposited $2,5oO forfeit money. The articles which were signed by Fitzsimmons for himself and Billy Madden for Ruhlin, who was not present during any part of the conference today, are practically the same as those which governed the last bout, in which Fitzsimmons and Jefferies met with re- spect to gloves, bandages, forfets, etc The Ni'At was SuDiHitiSu Dy rltZSiHlInOnS anu was readily accepted by Madden after the date was agreed upon
 Among those present when the agreement for this contest was being considered was Tom Sharkey and his manager. They had come to see if a match could not be ar- ranged for Sharkey with Ruhlin or F'itz- simmons before the boxing law should become void. Fitzsimmons, who was ex- ceedingly courteous to Sharkey, quickly re- piled in the affirmative when Sharkey leaned toward him and asked Fitzsimmons if he would give him a fight after the contest with Ruhlin.
 "Yes, replied Fitzsimmons, twin or lose l will fight you after 1 get through with Ruhlin.'
 Immediately after the Ruhlin agreement had been signed, articles making the date of the fight August 9 or some day between that and August 31, were written out and signed by Fitzsimmons and Sharkey. The time for the bids for this contest will be left open until August 13. A referee was not named. The leeway in the time for the bout was so arranged that should Fitz- simmons incur any injury from Ruhlin he would have some time in which to re- cover.

GOULD DIAMONDS FOUND
Stolen in London, They Were in the Pos session of Foreigner at Coney Island

From the New York Journal.
 Mrs Edwin Gould's jewels which were stolen from her rooms in the Carlton Hotel, London, have been recovered by three of Captain McClusky's detectives, and the young man in whose possession they were found will be arraigned.
 The detectives attended the Ruhlin- Sharkey fight at Coney Island Tuesday night, and later noticed young man, ap- parently an Australian, who was trying to sell at bargain prices several pieces of jew elry
 The young man visited several resorts In his endeavors to raise ready money. He was accompanied by woman.
 Unsuccessful in his attempts he at last returned to Manhattan, carefully trailed by the detectives ,and was followed to No. 400 West Forty-first street. All night long the detectives watched the house.
 They knew that Mrs Gould had been robbed of jewelry little more than week before, and the foreign looking man just about had time to cross the ocean on a liner to dispose of the booty here. The game was worth watching.
 Early Wednesday morning the young man left the house and went to saloon in the Bowery, near Grand street. Under one arm he carried a cheap looking bundle wrapped in a newspaper. The detectives watched him for some time, and then, growing tired of that, bounced upon him and took him to police headquarters on suspicion. There the cheap looking bundle was opened. Inside the roll of newspapers was chamois bag, and from it Captain McClusky and the detectives drew more than a score of articles of jewelry. Among these were diamond and ruby
