SKIN FIGHT GLOVES.

Cleveland, Ohio June 24.-A prize fight under old-time conditions was pulled off about ten miles south from the center of the city yesterday be- tween George fsYoung'' Gibbs and Phil Carney, both of Cleveland. Gibbs put Carney in such condition that he was unable to come up for the sixth round. The ring was pitched in a woods and the boxers wore gloves that were hardly more than skin tight. Thirty-fve, admirers of the boxing game, who had been tipped as to the location of the fight were, besides the seconds and handlers, the only specta- tors. The principals bet $100 each on the result.

 ed in a dispute in the latter halt of the fourth inning. At the beginning of the latter half the score stood 4 to 3 in favor of the Jeffersons. In their half the B. A. c. had scored one run, had one man out, and had man on first and third, when it is claimed that Herndon made balk. So Umpire Klobedanz declared Herndon, who was pitching clever game for the Jeffer- sons, as was Pratt for the B. A. O.. The Jeffersons refused to continue the game and it was forfeited to the B. A. c. by the score of 9 to 0. Manager Reid of the Jeffersons will protest the game. -.
 Until it is decided otherwise, the game yesterday between the Brooklyn A. O. and the Jeffersons will be count ed for the former, according to the de- cision of the umpire. The standing:

 The Bristol correspondent of the Hartford Globe writes as follows about the game Saturday: Dentist Reisling was too much for Roger this afternoon and before a representative audience of 1000 Bristol thOrOughbreds he pulled every tooth in the old mans head. The battle royal lasted just one hour and twenty minutes and closed spectacular ly by Roger flaming out in his oppor- tunity to tie the score Arm in arm with Pete Kiernan the aged gentleman wandered back to the Brass City this evening with basket of eighteen goose eggs, nine of them 13-year-old Bill Clements, laid for him yesterday, and the doctor added to the collection by making 1t a dozen and half to-day. COnnors, the man whom David Harum Reilly of Meriden traded for old hoss Joe Theisen, few days ago, run out the second on heavy two bagger and passed under the line the winner with the only run of the game Lindsley's catch of Kiernan's long fly in the sixth was an eye-opener and Courtney, who learned the trick in Bristol several sea- sons ago. repeated the performance in the seventh. Bach, of West Side New York fame. made an easy, but uncostly error in eighth. James J.. Gleason, the man who may soon be called upon to properly dispose of the eorpses Bristol is leaving in it's wake, consulted Attorney Rourke regarding Bach's error, but the able young law yer stated that the only possible action was divorce, a mensa ct thora.

It was a pitchers tournament and Ivanhoe Clancy weild- ed the weapon like knight of old, on- ly four hits being secured from him. The official score went this way:

Johnny Mack, who pilots the affairs of Patsy Sweeney, the Irish light weight, says that if Joe Handler is so anxious to meet any 133-pounder Svee- ney will give him such an opportunity.

 Owen Zeigler has signed articles to clash with Jack Daly of Wilmington at Savannah on July p. If Zeigler is successful he will make an effort to tackle "Rube'' Ferns before any club in the east.

 In his recent match Jenkins scored two falls in thirty nine minutes, but SharKey claims that he injured his wrist in the opening bout, and when it came to the final test he was handi- capped by his injury.
 He is confident that he would have stayed the limit were it not for the ac- cident, and he is anxious for another chance at the champion. Sharkey thinks he can throw all the other pu- gilistic wrestlers, and he offers to wa ger S1 ,OOO that he can throw Fitzsim- mons twice in one hour.
 Fitzsimmons is now matched to wrest1e Gus Ruhlin at Madison Square garden. He will consider the Akron Giant in his coming match.

A. society and in only one inning was he touched up to any account. It was the fifth inning and the Oakyilles made eleven hits, which, combined with several bases on balls and one or two errors, gave them eleven runs. Two runs were all they scored besides these. The St Josephs played fine fielding game, Fitzpatrick being a stone wall at shortstop. He stopped all kinds of drives and hot liners. He is a tower of strength to the team. The yictors also batted well, Therault being knocked out of the box.

New Haven, June 24,-Bannon was the bright planet around whom all the lesser stars resolved Saturday. All though it was out of his turn, he asked to be allowed to go in and break the streak of losing.

After the seventh inning the game was a pitchers battle, pure and simple. For eight innings the visitors were unable to get hit off the local twirler. When they did get one their man died at second base. Derby got four runs in the first inning on a base on balls and three consecutive hits.

Sporting Editor of the Democrat:
 At the Waterville grounds yesterday afternoon the ball game between the Jeffersons and the Brooklyn A. c. end- ed in a dispute, which arose over a de- cision by Umpire Klobedanz. The facts are as follows: The B. A. C.. was at the bat. A man was on third base and one on first base. .Herndon made an effort to throw it to third, but instead threw it to first. The umpire declared it balk and allowed the man on first to go to second, but would not allow the batter to go to first. Would you please state if the above consti- tues a balk, and if it was a balk, should not the batsman go to first? and thus decide a bet and please
 A FAN.
 Rule B, section 1, says balk shall be any motion made by the pitcher to deliver the ball to the bat or first base without delivering. Thus it is seen that balk is made by not delivering the ball to first base when an offer is made to do so by the pitcher. No, mention is made of second or third base. Accordingly, if the above state ments are right, Klobedanz erred in his decision. Section of rule 49 reads thus: The base runner shall be enti- tied, without being put out, to take the base in the following case, if the umpire calls balk." Accordingly the. batter ought to have been given first base by Umpire Klobedanz yesterday if Herndon had made balk.
