 Last Night Drew Big Crowd. London. June 11.-All of the Ameri- pugilists who are to appear in the bouts to be promoted by the National Sporting club during coronation week have arrived in England. Tommy Ryan came over on the St Paul., which land ed at Southampton early on Saturday morning. Or Ordway, the American representative of the National Sporting club. accompanied by Harry Harris and 1 Joe Walcott, reached Liverpool in the Lucania the week previous. William Madden, manager of Gus Ruhlin and | Denver Ed Martin, has secured train | ing quarters for the boxers at Wok1ng. The men are at the Railway hotel. which is kept by Percy Gourlay, who l is a we'll known athlete. When Ruh- | lin went to the National Sporting club recently some one told him that he ought not to go there until after the fight. Sharkey's manager, Sam Fitz- patrick, is having much trouble in se- curing d suitable Sparring partner for the former sailor. The English heavy weights, when asked if they will spar with Sharkey. all declare that they ''are ] busy and have not the time" Both Sharkey and German are i'll fine condi- ton, the climate seeming to agree with the sailor particularly. The latter is very confident that he will win his l fight against Ruhlin i'll short order. | German works willingly and is sure | to give Ryan a warm argument, if he does not win the middleweight cham pfonship
