ABOUT THE RINGsIDE.

James Morrison, manager of Fred Russell, the big western heavyweight, says that he will leave his forfeit of $1 ,000, posted at Seattle, to arrange a match with either Jeffries or Ruh- lin. up just one week more.
 Elwood McCluskey of Philadelphia, who stood Terry McGovern off for six rounds, has made arrangements to go to Frisco. McCluskey has written to the matchmaker of the California club asking for a date. He is willing to figt either Joe Bernstein or Tim Heg- gerty.
 The proposed bout in private be- tween Al Weinig, the cyclist pugilist, and Walter Johnson, which was ar ranged several weeks ago, has been called off. Two clubs were willing to hang up purses for the mill, but neither the clubs nor Weinig can locate Johnson, who seems to have disap- peared.
 A new boxing club has been started at San Francisco. It will be known as the Garden City A. c. The club, chants A. c. and the Garden City Wheelmen of California, will send a representative east in a few days to secure the signatures of some of the fighters.

 It is quite evident that Jim Jeffries is not anxious to fight Gus Ruhlin at Frisco, judging from what he says in a letter to Marty McCue. The cham pion, who is now at Frisco, writes: I am in the best of health and thought l would let my eastern friends know this fact. I have just come from Cata lima Island, where have spent very enjoyable vacation. 1 make occasion al trips to that place, which is a nice spot and very healthful. As to my proposed bout with Gus Ruhlin will say this much: 1 am not at all anX- ious to meet the Akron Giant at 'F'ris- co because 1 don't think the clubs will give me the purse 1 want. 1 don't propose to fight for nothing. They must show me the money. You know it costs quite a sum to train, and do not like the idea of making this outlay unless l am assured that the battle is IO come OIL. Oue InlnS Is c6fIalu, however, I will not fight at San Fran cisco until the racing season opens. No fighters can draw any amount there except during the season. 1 am anX- ious to fight Ruhlin, for know I can beat him, but 1 am not so foolish to go ahead and train five hard weeks un- less 1 see some coin in sight. 1 under stand that the game will open in the east about October or November. We'll, if this is fact the mill may take place then. I am not broke, nor am in financial need. That is the reason why l can be independent. 1 have some money and am going to protect it. I care nothing about the theatrical business and will rest the remainder of my days unless 1 get an opportunity to make match where can get the cash. expect to see Billy Madden in a few days and I will tell him the same thing.

A CONCENTRATING PRINCE.
DuIecp Singh, Whose GrnndfatheE Owned the kohinoor Diamond q
 Musical Enthusiast.

Prince Du1eep Singh, by right of suc- cession entitled to the throne of the Maharajah Runjeet Singh, is a song composer of more than ordinary merit. He inherited the talent from his fa- ther, who left among his papers the manuscript of an opera which Prince Duleep Singh has declared his inten- tion of having scored for orchestra and presented at Covent garden, London, says the Philadelphia Saturday Even ing Post. ao The prince, who leads the life of an English country gentleman at Hock- wold hall, Norfolk, and who is cap tain in a volunteer regiment, was edu- cated at EtonA and Cambridge, and married, some three years ago, the youngest daughter of the earl of Cov- entry.
 His annual pension from the British government is s 50,0oo, about $250, 900. He belongs to several fashionable clubs, and for two years was honorary aid de camp to Lieut.. Gen. Ross, when that gentleman was in command at Halifax, N. s.
 The famous Kohinoor diamond, now
 
 one of the English crown jewels, was the property of his grandfather, Rum jeet Singh. This extraordinary per sonage, whose sole legacy from his fathef was troopsof cavalry, acquired the vast territory bounded blythe In dus and the Sut1ej, and became owner of Cashmere to the snowy range and beyond. His treasure in cash, jewels and horses and elephants was esti- mated at $50,0o0,000
 Prince Duleep Singh, frank and dem ocratic in manner, is musical enthu- siast, and travels up to London for every concert of importance. During the past winter he has been engaged on another volume of songs, now near ly completed. There is nothing of the oriental in his music, which savers of the French school

 The new blood seems to put renewed life into the team.
 Donovan of Brooklyn has struck out thirty-four men in the last five games he has pitched.
 Joe Connor caught again for Cleve- land yesterday and had one hit, nine put-outs, two assists and one error.
 Derby played fast ball yesterday and one error. while it cost run, was lia- ble to happen to- any short stop.

 Colliflower will appear with the team after to-day and will play on first and pitch. Matthews may be sent into the right garden, although he may be given a rest as he has a lame leg and Timmy O'Rourke will cover the right field.
 Sir Timothy O'Rourke, Jr, is a chip of the old block in respect to sand and the ability to fight his own way to the front. He went in with the profes- sionals yesterday and played the right garden in fine style. He had two put outs auu two 0llS uHu was flSnI III Ile game from the start to the finish.
 Jack Miriam can still pitch bit, and although the Derby batters were well acquainted with his style he mixed them up well. and what hits were made offe his delivery were scattered. Should Miriam continue his good work of yesterday he will make valuable addition to the team.
 Henry Lynch tells a good story on one of the jurors selected to serve III the trial of his suit against the Syra- cuse street railway for damages Are you interested in base ballY' he was asked.

sHARKEY DREAMS AGAIN.

Tom Sharkey is not going to meet Peter Maher at Louisville next month, but will tackle Jim Jeffries at San Francisco instead. At least this is what Barney Reich, Toms manager, said. Some time ago the management of the Louisville club offered to give iMaher and Sharkey a $4,000 purse, but Sharkey thought his service was worth more and told the matchmaker of the Southern A. c. that he would not fight for less than $5,000, with percentage of all over that sum taken in at the door. The club agreed to this, but yesterday Reich said to the Louisville matchmaker: "Sharkey will not meet Maher at Louisville. I am sorry to in- form you of this fact, but it cannot be helped. Sharkey has been matched to meet Jim Jeffries at San Francisco be- fore the San Francisco A. c. on Sep- tember 9. He can make more money by meeting the champion than he can with Maher, you know" Reich said afterward: "Sharkey will leave for Frisco next Wednesday. The articles, so far as Sharkey is concerned, have been signed. On Monday Ed Romans of the San Francisco A. c. called on me and said that he had heard from Jeffries to the effect that the latter was ready to meet Tom. He showed me telegram from Jeffries urging him 10 go ahead with the mill The purse, from what can understand, will be $20,000. but this fact will be settled on when Sharkey reaches the coast" If it is true that Sharkey and Jeffries are really going to fight at Frisco the sports naturally want to know what Jeffries intends to do about fighting Gus Ruhlin. It is possible that Bob Fitzsimmons may be induced to take the Californian's place and fight the Akron Giant.

Steve Lambert of Unionville is to make trip with the Hartford club ap- pear at all the stops. In some places he will don a Hartford uniform and do q little coaching.

He will not be re- leased, either, nor will any other play CT who attempts to feign inability to play or who sulks in the traces. Play base ball or pay the consequences is the motto of the new management.
 President Ban Johnson's reply to the reports from New York to the effect that the American league was ready to give up the ghost'' was the unquali- fled announcement that the American league purposes to invade St Louis not later than next spring. 1t is known that an offer of $30,000 has been made to the owners of the Milwaukee club for their team and franchise by St Louis capitalists, but this offer has been refused.

Jack O'Brien, the Philadelphia mid dleweight, who won the heavyweight championship of England, is in dan- ger. He will soon receive challenge which will make his heart palpitate. Parson Davies is now in England and is authorized to make match between Joseph Walcott and O'Brien. Cues tions of color do not cut much figure in Great Britain, and O'Brien will be compelled to accept or retreat. A bat tie between Walcottt and O'Brien would be a decidedly interesting af- fair.
