RHYTHMIC IN 2:oe TRoT.
Great Blind Horse Will Meet Major
 De1mar at Empire City Meeting.

Rhythmic, the blind trotter, owned by Scott Hudson, is the largest money winner on the trotting circuit this year, although he is closely pressed by Ma jor Delmar, who has yet to meet de- feat on the grand circuit The sight less horse has won $13,e5 for his owner, while Major Delmar's share of the purses amounts to $11, 600. There is great interest among trotting horse followers over the meeting of this pair in the 2:O9 trot, to be decided at the Empire City track next week. AL though defeated in 8 race it is not be- lieved that Rhythmic has reached his limit of speed.
 Among the pacers Direct Hal 2:037a, who is entered for the 2:05, is the largest money winner. Piloted by Ed Geers, the "si1ent man from Tennessee,' this pacer has won about SIS ,00O. a It is estimated that from exhibitions and races Dan Patch has won about $16.000

Another One Will Be Given Next Sat
 urday and a Corking One It will Be.
 Next Saturdays games will have much to do with the pennant race in the City Amateur league The games will be played on the. Athletic field and the game that will create the most enthusiasm probably will be the one between the Washington Hills and the Jeffersons. A win for the Wash ington Hills will give them a look in at the pennant and that is just what the two clubs in the lead fear. If the Washington Hills win they will then face the Brooklyns and the Pastimes tsand asswin from those two teams will give them the pennant The. Jeffer- sons want to hold the position they now hold or a little better in the race and they will try to put stop to the ambition of the lads from the hill.
 The second game will be between the St Josephs and the St Thomas Ca- dets. There is little wager on this game and the St Joseph boys say they will wipe up the diamond with the St Thomas lads. Manager Dunphy only smiles at this and he says he will give the St Josephs as big surprise as he did the Pastimes few Sundays ago. At any rate there will be two good games and the first one will start promptly at 2 o'clock.

Interest in the Garter and Ryan Bout
 Is Increasing.

Is Increasing.
 New York, Sept 11-Local interest in the contest between Tommy Ryan and Kid Garter, who are to meet next Monday night at Fort Erie for the naiddleweight honors. is keen. Both fighters have their followers; who are prepared to back the chances of their favorites. The prevailing odds favor Ryan, the price being 5 to 4. But Garter has not been neglected and will go into the ring carrying pile of cash on his chances. His friends in Brook 1yn, where he was born and raised, pre- dict that he will lower Ryan's colors and that he will defeat his man by, knocking him out. They base their opinion on Carter's clever victory over Kid Mccoy, and his subsequent easy victories over Al Weinig, Joe Choynski and Jimmy Handler. Members of the old Greenwood A. O., where Carter had his first experiences as a pugilist, are with him to a man. v Joe SchenclS, a local sporting man, who is great ad- mirer of Carter, yesterday played $1,- l 900 to $1, 400 that Garter would win SchencS has just returned rom Buffalo and says Carter is in great trim. Al Smith, Dr OrdWay and Kerry Mills are backing Ryan. Ordway thinks Ryan is better man physically than he has been in years. He saw him defeat Johnny German before the Ma tiona1 Sporting club, London. last June and declares that he defeated his man without exerting himself.
 Smith has placed $2,OOO on Ryan and intends to bet $1,000 more. George 1 Considfne picks Ryan to win. Tom l O'Rourke favors Ryan's chances.

Manager Harrington is Again Elected From the Press Box.

z The Local Manager Refused to Leave the Norwich Press Box and Is Taken Out by a Police oficer-Another Suit May Be the Result-Papers ip the First Suit Were Not Served Yes terday-Results of the Games.
 Manager George D. Harrington of this city is making a name for himself. It was only few days ago that he was elected from the press box of the Norwich baseball grounds and when he Became abusive to the umpire for that ejectment he was fired outside the grounds by a police officer. He resisted both attempts, but had to sue cumb to the strong arm of the law. He believed he was wronged and abused and he consulted Attorney Rus sell of this city and papers were drawn up in a suit. for $1 ,0O0 against Officer Cornell of Norwich, who did the firing act Yesterday Manager Harrington went to Norwich and ac- cording to the reports from that place he chased all over the town all day long trying to find some officer who
 
 damages. Report has it that he was unsuccessful and that the papers are still unserved.
 This probably nettled the local man. ager, for he went to the Norwich grounds in the afternoon where his team was to play and at once seated himself in the press box. He was discovered by Captain Tighe of the Norwich team and ordered out of the box. He refused to go and presented set of credentials, showing that he was representative of the New York Sporting Life. Those credentials did not amount to row of beans in the eyes of Captain Tighe and he ordered The umpire to remove him from the box. The umpire tried to reason with Manager Harrington, but he was ob- stinate and refused to move q foot. Then Officer Maher was called and he also tried to give some good advice to the Waterbury manager, but all talk Tell on barren ground Finally the officer laid hands on Manager Harring- ion and although the latter resisted he was ignominiously bounced from among the members of the press. He then took his seat on. the bench and flle game went on and Waterbury was nefeated.. 1t is said now that Mana ger Harrington will have another suit. against Officer Maher this time. If the season lasted much longer Norwich would not have a police force at all after Manager Harrington finished Nith the members. The score:

 Roach ana Harvey Will Meet To
 Night in a Great Contest.
 Both Roach and Harvey are in the best of condition for their match at $1oo a side and the entire gate receipts,
 which will take place tonight in. Con. cordia hall at 9 o'clock. Everything that the skilled hands of expert train CTS could do has been done and they will face each other in the pink of
 condition. Roach is down to weight
 and he says he is as strong as he ever
 was, in his life. He will make the fight of his life to win, too, for it
 means the championship of the world
 besides the $200 purse and the gate receipts. Harvey is also in. prime shape and he says that he will be
 champion after the contest is over. He does not believe that Roach can throw him in a year. He does not, however, underestimate the ability of Roach,
 but he claims he is little better Much money has been wagered on the result off the battle, probably more than has ever been bet on a contest in lthis city. The match will start sharp at o'clock and reserved seats will sell flor 70 cents and the general admission will be 90 cents.
