RJHLIN AND HART.

Herford, matchmaker of the Eureka A. c. of Baltimore, has practically ar ranged bout between Gus Ruhlin, the Akron Giant and Marvin Hart, the Louisville light heavyweight, to be fought at his club within three weeks The managers of both fighters have agreed to the terms of the match, and as the incentive which Herford has of fered the fighters is satisfactory, the chances are the match will be clinched in a few days. If the bout is arrang- ed Johnny Eckhardt will be selected as, the referee, The distance will be fifteen rounds, and the date probably May 16. Ruhlin and Hart clashed in Philadelphia on April %, and Hart won out by mile in the six rounds, but the Giant of Akron Is better over long route.

i, DIXIE KID AGAIN.

The Yosemite A. O. of San Francis co is after a twenty-round match be- tween Dixie Kid. the Negro who de- feated Joe Walcott on points the other night at San Francisco, and Joe Cans Al Herford, manager of Cans, has re- ceived an offer of guaranteed purse of $7,600 from Jimmy Coffroth, the Yosemite's matchmaker or 8 percent age of the gate receipts. No weight is mentioned, but it is supposed that the mill is to be for the lightweight title. It is understood that Dixie Kid can reduce to 135 pounds, which Cans can make, and which would suit the lightweight champion to nicety. Despite the .sraws'' decision which the Dixie Kid received over Walcott. there are many who believe that he is wonderful fighter for all that, and will be able to give Cans tussle. Herford says that such fight would suit him, but in the absence of fur ther details he has not wired any mes sage of acceptance. He will probably do so within the next few days,

X CLEVER AMATEUR.

It has been settled that William A. Rodenbach of the New West Side A. C., the national and Canadian amateur and middleweight boxing champion, is to go to San Francisco to compete in the amateur tournament which is to be held about the latter part of this month. Rodenbach is going ostensi- bly to meet Sam Berger, the present amateur heavyweight champion of the Pacific coast. Berger is looked upon as wonder and there are many who think that he will wear Jim Jeffrdes's crown some day. Rodenbach has won five middleweight titles since 1900. Tn 1901 he won both middleweight and heavyweight honors at Pittsburg. He also won the middleweight champion ship at San Francisco in 1901. This year at Boston, where the A. A. U championships took place, Rodenbach whipped Emery Payne, heavyweight champion, ill three rounds after he had tackled the middleweight championship to his belt. Rodenbach is clever, a strong puncher and game. He only weighs 158 pounds stripped.

MARVELLOUS BALL GAME.

Boston, May 6.--Not a run, not hit, not a single man to reach first base; every man out in one, two, three order, was the magnificent record made yes terday afternoon by that veteran pitch CT, "Cy' Young, and the champion Bos- ton Americans against the Philadel- phias. Waddell was in the box for the visitors. and before the game promised not to allow a hit. He was q mark, and ten hits, for total of eighteen bases, were made off his delivery. Not even a scratch was secured off Young, not a man hit or passed, not an error made by the Bostons, and they jumped on the '.Rube'' for three triples, two doubles and five singles, which tells the story, and allows the game to go on record as the most wonderful ever pitched by any man and the greatest ever played by any team. in the history Of base ball. The score at the end of the game, which was one of the short est ever played, was 3 to o in favor of the champions

POOR KID CARTER.

According to dispatch from St Louis Kid Carter's days as q pugilist arc about over It is said that the once noted Brooklyn middleweight, who has met the best men in his class will never fight again and that he will have to take a long rest before he will be able even to think of indulging in any kind of exercise. It. is understood that when Garter fought Jack OBrien at St Louis the other night he was in bad shape and that he simply went on to save bis forfeit and not disappoint the crowd. Frank Hart, one of Car ter's seconds contends that the Kid was partly delirious when he entered the ring. Garter has a long record and is known as one of the gamest fighters in the business, His defense Is poor, his only desire being to land wallop and terminate the mill. Some think that Carter's long siege Of training and the humping he has received in hls battles have been the means of his downfall. There are many sporting men who hope that Carter will be him self again, for he is square, willing pugilist and very popular.

ARE AFTER FITzsIMMoNs.

Several clubs in Chicago are after the services of Bob Fitzsimmons, and are willing to give any kind of reason able inducements to him to box in the Windy City. The Wayerly A. C. of Chicago is one of the clubs that de- sire the Cornishman's services and through Matchmaker Felt has an- nounced that it will give a purse of $5,O00 for Fitz to meet Jack Root, who recently whipped George Gardner. The club will give this amount for a six-round bout, which is considered large in view of the purses offered iate- ly by the other clubs in Chicago. Root has already accepted and signed arti- cles to meet Lanky Bob within months time or sooner if the ex-cham- pion so desires. Root is very in Chi cago and that large crowd will turn out to witness the encounter seems probable. It is a long time since Fitz has appeared in the Windy City in bout.

 A nice question as to ownership and responsibility may grow out of the blowing l1p, some days ago, of an old steam automobile that was sold by a local bicycle dealer for $200, of which $1OO had been paid down. When the son of the seller took the purchaser out in it to show him how to run the ve- hfcle, the boiler exploded, wrecking the machine, but doing no other serious harm.
 Grant Eby, champion pool player of the world, and Sam Gruhn, a strong local expert, were matched last night to play for $250 8 side. The conditions call for 800 points to be made by Hby to 45O by Gruhn, the former to score NUV 10 lOO edCH ulgHL LOT three AuSHlS The contest will be decided at the Broadway Billiard academy, 1047 Broadway, and is to begin on May 9.
 Tom Cooper, former manager of Bar ney Oldtield, is after the scalp of his old-time ward, and will have an eight cylinder auto constructed by the Hol- yoke company. Cooper will drive this car himself, having reconsidered his determination not to again drive q racer. especially to secure the credit of beating Oldfield. Cooper was south this spring as manager of Oldfleld, and when the Winton Go released the cham pion only to re-engage him there was stipulation that he must drive with out a manager. This riled Cooper ex- ceedingly, for he claims that in the day that he was bringing Oldfield to the front he might ~haye won the cham pionship himself. Being possessed of $75.OO0 in excellent paying invest ments, Cooper did not care to drive himself and take the risk. Now it is different. and when finally victorious over his old star will retire in favor of some one else.

Willie Pierce of Boston, manager of Joe Waicott, announces that the vel terweight champion, despite his alleg- eded defeat by Dixie Kid at San Fran- cisco the other night, has not quit the ring, but will continue to fight, Pierce has matched Walcott to meet Charley Hitte of Albany in private on or about May 10. It is understood that Hitte and Walcott are to have 1t out for thirty rounds for 1000 a side before a club not many miles from Albany. According to the articles of agreement only forty persons on each side will be permitted to witness the scrap The weight is 142 pounds and the winner will be the weIterweight champion. Hitte is no novice in the game. Tn fact, the sporting men look upon him as likely to whip Walcott. Hitte has defeated Eddie Connolly, Willie Mack and other good fighters. He is a strong, rugged scrapper with a wicked punch. Walcott is now on his way east from San Francisco and is expected to reach New York in a few days.
