courts were wet from the heavy rain.
and afforded the players none too sure
a. footing. Aside from this the condt-
lions were very good.
The Davis Black match was the first
to be put on. Davis played a dashing
game, running to the net at every OPP
pOrtunity, and placing the balls hard
and fast into the corners. Black played
a back court game, attempting to pass
his opponent on hard drives, seldom lob
bfng and seldom running up himself The
other match was of an entirely different
style of tennis. Gore, like his team matte
played back court game, but he played
his strokes IN a way seldom seen here
He took the ball at the top of its bounce,
and carried his racket way through get
ting more speed than any Of the other
three players. Whitman played much
the same style of game, sending good
strokes first to one corner and then to
the other, and coming to the net only
under the most favorable circumstances
After the back court game proved IN
effective, Gore attempted several times
to play at, the net, but Whitman soon
drove him back with well directed Iobs.

FITZ AND RUHLIN,
Both In Condition for Their Fight
Friday Night.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.--Lovers of fight
Ing can feel assured that the principals
In Friday nights fight, Fitzsimmons and
1<uhl1n, will enter the ring in the best
possible condition Both men have been
training faithfully for the last three
weeks ana look tit to clash for the big
purse.
Ruhlin's system of training is not as
severe as his opponents. In fact. the
Akron man confines himself to light
road WORK and an occasional few rounds
with his sparring partner. Rubin, ac-
cording to Billy Madden, his manager.
does not believe in much boxing while
training. He claims a man doesn't have
to. learn to fight during his preliminary
work. He is supposed to be able to
DO that before club will match him.
his main idea is to strengthen his wind.
That he declares, is all that is neces-
sary.
OF course Rubin thinks he will de-
feat FftZsfmmons. IF I didn't think

should he be defeated. Again, he NAV be
trying to influence the betters 1 hope
the former champion Is In good shape
Friday night, as 1 want no doubtful hon
ors. I want to prove concIustveIv that
I can defeat him.
When asked IL he thought he would
knock Fitzsimmons out, he replied:
why, certainly. 1 intend to land a
punch that will end the fight inside of
ten rounds. I know all about Fitzsinn

sure he Will not land an effective blow
on me throughout the fight"

day as he did during his first week of
training The lanky Australian is one of
the hardest workers while In training
of any man In the ring, and never lets
up In his training until the day he
fights. He claims his injured arm is
as we'll as 1t ever was, and he said:
That's the arm that's going to send
In the final blow"
Many experts visited Fitzsimn1ons at
his quarters in Bergen Beach, and all
agreed he was In fine fettle. The chances
are he VIII enter the ring q fayorfte
despite the fact that Rubin gained
such decisive victory over Sharkey.
All remember the fight Fitzsimmons had

FAIR MANAGERS PONDER
ON WAYS AND MEANS TO GIVE
PATRONS AN EQUIVALENT

The board of managers Of tho N1nnaso-
Ia state Fair association held an I'm
portant meeting at the fair grounds yes
terday. There were present President
John Cooper, Vice President Chester r
Smith. Directors w. M Liggett. ]. @.
Curryer' G. N. Cosgrove, ]. NJ Under
wood and Secretary q. w. Randall.
The object of the meeting was to aid
IN perfectng plans for the coming state
fair.
One OF the important matters of bust
ness was reference to the time of the
races. 1t was decided to call the races
Friday promptly at l o'clock and COM
plete them by $3.50 that afternoon. that
the great live stock parade might be held
Immediately following. President Cooper
and other members of the board say that
this exhibition of live stock will eclipse
anything of the kind the world has ev-
er seen. In the parade will be the
choicest stock selected from the various
thoroughbred classes in the country.
Aside from the cattle, all the hne horses
at the grounds will form a part Of this
parade.
The board decided to rebuild the go
ciety" barn as soon as practicable. The
location IS to be to the north of the
#secretary's residence, and the building
will be a very substantial frame one, 80
by 72 feet, costing about $1,000
The idea In changing the location OF
this barn Is to give place for the crea-
ton of small park upon the ground
formerly occupied by it. and other small
er buildings. The tool house and one
or two small buildings arV to be removed
and the ground at once prepared for
small park, which will be a great adorn-
ment to the grounds.

Yesterday at 3 in the afternoon the
governmental thermometer registered 80
and at midnight 1t had only dropped ten
degrees, Notwithstanding the fact that
a considerable shower had fallen in the

record
There is one noticeable Improvement in
the weather during the afternoon yes

nudity of the atmosphere The excessive
humidity which had prevailed for several

There did not seem to be any signs OF
relief from the terrible weather until to-

LANDERs IS ARRESTED.
Borrowed 100000 on Cattle which
Aftervvard Dfed-May Go Free.

KANSAS CITY, Aug ga special from
Ell Paso, Texas, says: A man arrested
near this city ten days ago, has, It IS
reported, confessed to, the sheriff that his
name Is George r. Landers, and that he
borrowed 100000 from the Evans-Snyder-
Buell. Co.. Of Kansas city. on cattle that
afterwards died. He said he took adj
vantage of the bankruptcy law In the
court at Wichita, Kas., year ago. and
then went into hiding.
About year ago. 1t was alleged, the
firm lost heavily through the operations
of Landers, but officials disclaimed
knowledge Of anything criminal in the
transaction, and apparently no effort
was made to locate Landers. Today Mr.
Snyder, senior member of the firm, de-
clined to state what action, If any, HIS
firm would take to hold Landers.
