HITCH IN BArrLH.

San Francisco. Aug 24.-Unless Jeffries and Ruhlin can arrange terms with the clubs here the championship battle will have to be decided else where. The fighters in the articles signed two days ago demanded that the club post $2,5OO as 9 guarantee that the bout will take place on the date scheduled. Sixty-fye per cent of the receipts and training expenses of $500 for each man are also demanded. There also is hitch over the selection of referee. Jeffries and Ruhlin will insist on Siler. The clubs object to this on the ground that the superivs- ors will not issue a permit unless the referee is a resident of the state. It is understood that the clubs have ar ranged deal whereby 65 per cent will be offered for the bout.

FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
Topics Heard From the pugilists
 Around the Circuit.


 Thomas Sharkey, first mate for Bar ney Reich, is elated because of the fact that Ruhlin and Jeffries are at last going to fight. He claims that the result will show that Ruhlin is out of his element, and thoroughly con vince the public that he (the sailor) was out of condition when Ruhlin found his jaw in the fifteenth round year ago.
 Indeed, the sailors joy was so gen. uine that when the news was first con- veyed to him he asked every one Ill the cafe to take q drink. This treat would have been carried into effect, only that Manager Reich announced that it was after hours" so Sharkey had to postpone the treat indefinitely.
 "Yes" said the sailor, as he lay stretched on a divan in the moorish parlor of his place uptown. 'I am hap py because Jeffries will beat Ruhlin and show the public that my defeat at the hands of Ruhlin was luke"
 'How long will it take Jeffries to scuttle the man from Akron?'
 ''Well, let me tell you that Ruhlin will be counted out before ten rounds. Why, this fellow is easy. am willing to bet S10,O00 to $S,000 that l can beat him. But will not have to do that. Jeffries will win. and then l will beat the champion"
 Twill you give Ruhlin a chance, then?'
 "Oh, no; he will have to go out and get reputation"
 Sharkey says that he will start for California three weeks before Ruhlin and Jeffries meet. He will indulge in light training and expects to meet Jeffries in December. From the coast comes report that Fitzsimmons will met Jeffries after the fight with Ruhlin. and Sharkey may be again sidetracked.

HART IS DONE.

Louisville. Ky, Aug 24.-Marvin Hart's pugilistic career seems to have ended even more suddenly than he shot into notice. Following the announce
 ment that his match with Hanrahan was off comes the statement that Hart's physical condition is such as to prevent his training for a long time, and it is not believed he will ever be able to regain his old form. He may possibly get back into shape, but it is the concensus of opinion here that Hart's championship aspirations are at an end. While not dissipated, Hart did not resist the temptations that abound when fame and money come, and he is now reaping the whirlwind

why the Congregation Smiled.

One young theological student is wondering if he will ever become sue cessful minister. He has his doubts, for his sermons are often rendered lu- dicrous by an unfortunate lisp. He was called to fill temporary vacancy in a village church last Sunday and gave out as his text:
 'sHe that perverteth a simmer from the error of his ways, shall shave his shoul to life and cover multitude oi shins."
