 M'FADDEN GETS DECISION.
 Boston, Aug Skid McFadden of San Francisco received the decision over Patsy Hanly of Boston before the Leno1 A. c. last night. The bout went twelve rounds, the limit, and while it was McFadden's all the way, Haley did remarkable work and kept his op- ponent busy from beginning to end. There came by wire from California yesterday the report of new punch" developed by Corbett. It has been named the '.clavicle punch It is de scribed as sort of down cut striking l the opponent on the clavicle lcollar) bone. Tank Kenny declares Corbett l has tried it on him with the result that 1 it foored him several times in success sion.
 l Joe Bernstein the ghetto feather weight champion, asks for match with Austin Rice. Bernstein wants to sign articles immediately and it is l probable that his wishes will be grant ed. Bernstein is at Coney Island at l present. Rice has agreed to a match < with Bernstein, but the next thing is | to get a club to hold the exhibition. Boston or Philadelphia will be asked if either wants the match. Both men are top-notchers and naturally want all the money there is in it.
 Jeffries is getting jealous of Fitzsim- mons. The lanky man is the idol of the training camp. He gets all the limelight and the crowds follow him. The champion lies and mopes in the | hammock and can't understand why the crowds do not flock around him. The answer is simple. Jeffries was a popular champion. He does nothing except fight. He has high squeaky voice. and an uninteresting manner. He cannot spin q yarn, make horse shoe, recite nnonologue, or run a sa- loon. He is good natured. but does not make speciality of being good na- tured. There is nothing to attract one l to Jeffries. On the other hand, there are things about him. including two enormous fists. which make you wish to keep away from him.
 George Herman, matchmaker of the International A. C. of Fort Erie, post l ed $2,5OO last night with Al Smith to bind contest between Bob Fitzsinl- mons and George Gardner Herman will leave the money up long enough to give Fitzsirnmons chance to sign articles. Gardner has already agreed to fight at Fort Erie. Herman does not expect to hear from Fitz as yet. owing to the fact that the Cornishman l is busily engaged training Jim Jeffries l for the latter's mill with Jim Corbett. ! The indications are that Fitz will fight Gardner in the east, as up to date not one of the California clubs has overbid I Herman's offer of $15.O0O. It is likely that upon the arrival of Ben Jordan in this country Herman will try to secure the fight. A match between the pair I would be big drawing card and the l chances are that the various clubs will vie with each other in their endeavor I to land the mill
 l Former featherweight champion Matty Matthews, wants job in the eastern league, and it is understood I President F. T. Powers has promised to see what can be done for the pugi- list. Matthews has been fooling around with the ssemi-professionals for nulil- Der of years, enjoys the national garrr and believes he can stand the pace I faster company. This ambition or l part of Matthews is something q.
 the ordinary. One hears occasio,,
 of ball players deserting the diaino.-<
 for the prize ring, but seldom has d fighter with knockout punch been willing to forego the pleasures of q l fight for Lighters say there is a good deal of fun in fighting for the less strenuous existence of a ball player. But Matthews says there is nothing. in pugilism nowadays. Tt is a hard mat ter to get match in the first place. he says, and then there is nothing left after paying training expenses. would have to fight all the time to make livng."'
