 Hot After Fistic Glory.
 Philadelphia, June 24.-Kid Garter made disappointing showing in his contest with Joe Grim before the Southern A. C. last night. It was gen. erally expected that Garter would knock his man out in three or four rounds, but he failed to show up to ex- pectations, and Grim was on his feet when the six rounds were over. Carter did all the fighting, and Grim did not land a dozen .clean blows during the contest. He proved his gameness and took a good grueling. Carter was very wild, and his Judgment of distance was poor. but he landed many hard wal lops on Grim's stomach and ribs.
 When the men shook hands Grim assumed defensive tactics and ran around the ring in the most clownish fashion. Carter chased him from cor ner to corner, swinging both hands wildly and doing little damage for the first three rounds.
 Tn the fourth he waded into Grim and punched him all around the ring, bringing the blood from his mouth and nose with stiff right handler Tn the fifth he tried hard to knock his oppon- ent out, but only succeeded in sending him to the floor twice with swings to the neck.
 Grim was also knocked down in the sixth round, but was strong at the finish. The fight was all Carter's but his failure to knock Grim out surpris- cd ring followers.
 Boston. June 24.-Kid McFadden of York won an easy decision over Har- Y.v Gilman Of Boston in an eight-round bout at the Sarsfield A. 0. Monday evening. Tn only one round the sixth, did the loealsbey make good showing. In that round he, crossed his right to McFadden's jaw and almost foored him.. Again in the seventh, Gilman landed stiff punch. Tn the fifth Me F'adden scored clean knockdown, but Gilman came up strong in the sixth. The final round was all McF adden's.
 Kid. Broad has all kinds of respect for Herrara now. That fellow is the hardest hitter of his weight in the country, said Broad. He can whip any of them Britt Cans or McGov- ern."
 Jim Corbett has thew punch Jim has organized the new effort by walking on his hands. sThat strength ems the muscles of the wrists and fore arms, says Jim. When Jeffries was told of this new "stunt" he remarked: '.It's good practice for him all right. It will teach him to fall easily when l up-end him.''
 Young Corbett is to engage in anoth- CT fight in addition to his encounter with Hughy Murphy which is to be de- cided at Boston tomorrow night. Yes terday articles of agreement were sign ed for bout between the champion and Jimmy. Briggs of Boston. They are to have it out next Monday night before the Criterion A. O., Boston. The go is for fifteen rounds at 13O pounds.
