 An international fight between Young Corbett and Ben Jordan of Eng land will be arranged some time this week if spresent plans do not miscar- ry. Some time ago the Yosemite A. O. of San Francisco offered purse for q 20-round bout between the pair, the mill to be held some time in October next Yesterday Willie Pierce of Bos- ton received a cable dispatch from Jordan urging him to go ahead and arr range a battle. Pierce or his repre- sentative has notified Harry Pollok, Corbett's manager, that he will meet him personally and draw up articles of agreement for a 20-round fight, the same to take place at San Francisco during the second week of October next. The conditions for the fight have not as yet been definitely agreed upon Corbett wants to fight Jordan at 127 pounds, weigh in at 3 o'clock on the day of the combat. Jordan is 1lominally a 124-pound man, but it is thought that he will not object to a few extra pounds. A defeat at the weight will not hurt him much, as he will still be the featherweight cham pion Of England if he meets a reverse. On the other hand, if victorious his star will be in the ascendancy and he will be able to make lot of money showing throughout this country and in England. Jordan is at present matched to meet Will Curley before the National Sporting club on Derby night.

Policeman Ryan seized him, and then the woman turned on the policeman and began to scratch him. Both McGoyern and the woman were arrested.
 Big Gus Ruhlin is after all the grap- piers and knuckle dusters. Billy Mad den, his manager, had this to say after Ruhlin's match with Roeber: "Im- mediafely o&ter Ruhlins fight with Sandy Ferguson at Boston on Tuesday night next Ruhlin will be prepared to wrestle any man in the business to a finish. consider Ruhlin one of the best wrestlers among the fighters. He bars nobody. If he can't get a match at wrestling he will take lem all on one after the other with the gloves
 Terry McGovern will leave Johnson's S road house on Jerome avenue to-day for Buffalo, where he will put on the finishing touches for his twenty-round battle with Abe Attell, the clever San Francisco featherweight The little fellow will be accompanied by Sam Harris, his manager; Eddie Cain and Kid Lewis.

 Bob Fftzsimmons is back to Benson hurst and unattached. He will go to the coast in time to be in Jeffries' cor 1er. Fitz made huge blobs of the long and necessary at the boxing game but he isn't weighted down with much of it now. He did more and better fight ing than any of the big fellows--was the daddy of them all--and has less to show for it than most. Fitz was letter perfect in the ring. No second could tell him anything he didn't know. But in the outside business of the profession he was always baby. He didn't get a cent for his fight with Jim Hall.
