aARpNER AND GINS.

If Joe Cans is not soon called upon to meet Jimmy Gardner of Boston for the lightweight championship Of the world it will not be because the nacthmakers of the San Francisco club are at fault Yesterday the Hayes Valley A c. of San Francisco wired to Al Herford to the effect that that organization was ready to give a purse for 20-round bout between Cans and Gardner some time during October. The club is ready to receive forfeits of the men as soon as articles of agreement have been drawn up and signed. and the papers will be for warded east as soon as the men con- sent to have 1t out.
 Gardner is without doubt one Of the best lightweights in the business. He has been I~pidly forging his way to the front. and has any amount of ad. mirers who really believe that he can take the adroit colored mans measure In Boston there are several prominent sporting men ready to back him for a tidy sum if Cans consents to inc match. It is not known on just wha+ terms Gardner would agree to fight Cans. but as lie can get to 13O hounds without trouble lie will probably insist on l33 pounds, ringside, the liobt. weight limit.

rfidKEY MIfsT PAY

Secretary O'Rourke sent a notidca- ton to Owner Danaher of the New Haven club that Pitcher Tuckey was not eligible to play ball, and under the rules was suspended till his fine of S1O0 Is paid for playing independent ball last Saturday ht Rockville. In speaking about the matter last night, Secretary O'Rourke said that "the law was clear on the matter. and it was not the purpose of the directors when they enacted the rule, that no player shall be allowed to play Independent ball under a penalty of $100 to have 1t a dead letter. The rule was not passed unanimously for the mere fun of the thing. Under the rule Tuckey must pay his fine or all games that @e plays iii after the notification will be protested. In this case the law will be observed in spirit and letter. Every member of the New Haven team knew of the rule, and 1t is not going to be suspended in MT Tuekey's case. 1t would be an injustice to the rest of the managers and the players in the league to allow MT TuekRy to get off without paying his fine. Why. I could have the services of Red Wal Ter this season if would allow him to play independent ball on Sundays, not a working day in the Connecticut league, but 1t would be against the spirit of the vote for me to give him permission to play So by followinp the rule l am deprived of Red Wal leT's services

 SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 3.-Newton BeRnington's three-year-old Hello won the Mohawk, the stake feature of the racing at Saratoga, in impressive fash ion. Passing under the wire Hello was two and half lengths ahead of Cham plain. Frank FarrelIs Gensalvo-Lil- Han Belle colt Champlain made the running until the stretch was reached. At this point Hello came up under a hard ride by O'Neill and was never headed. In the last few jumps Boba- dil ridden by Speriing, an apprentice, advanced from the ruck and finished in third position. The opinion prevail ed that Mrs. Drake's colt would have gained better position with better boy up.
 The best race of the day was the last, in which Mr. Keene's great colt Dalhi covered the mile in 1 :37 3-5, mak- ing track record and coming within one-fifth of a second of Dick Welles' worlds record. Gray Friar, in at bot tom weight, closed if the stretch and was only half length behind at the wire. Delhi is candidate for the Great Republic, the richest stake of the meeting.

 II regard young McGovern as the best man have ever met" said Neil. .'This Is not a blarney. but an actual fact. He was after me all the while, ai1d had to admire his willingness to mix things up in view of the fact that he was battling a losing scrap.

''I do not consider him any better as a pu- gilist than Jimmy Britt pursued Neil. II offered to box Britt at 13o pounds, weigh in at o'clock on the night of the go.
