RUHLIN PRAISES KAUFMAN.

Billy Madden and his big fighter, Gus Ruhlin have arrived in New York from the west. Ruhlin was on Broad way, yesterday afternoon. looking strong and husky. The Akron Giant had only one fight while in the west, but this he won in impressive style. He is now after a match with any of the heavies, and if he has his way be will get a fight before long.
 ''I tried very hard to induce Marvin Hart to meet me-" said Ruhlin, but to no purpose. He would not listen to any proposition I advanced and al ways steered me off when 1t came to doing business. As to Ali Kaufmann of San Francisco, all can say is that he4ls a good one. I boxed with him when I was training for Mccormick. It was simply a friendly bout but he displayed enough form to make me believe he will amount to something some day. I would like to. take him on for a trial if he is willing"

THE DIAMOND.
PLUCKY WAS
 THIS PITCHER.
Johnny Lush Knocked Un. conscious Refuses to Quit Until Last Inning-Phila- delphia Now Certain Champions.

There were fully 5000 enthusiasts at the Polo grounds yesterday to greet the two-time champion Giants on their return from the trip that clinched the pennant The boys were given great reception by, the fans and then pro ceeded to lose a game to the Phillles and later win one Duffy5s men took the first by 4 runs to 1, and the Me Grawites the second by 5 runs to 8.
 Johnny Lush, left-hand pitcher. was opposed to Christy Mathewson in the opener. Lush jumped the fnlllies last winter to become the star of the so-called .'Outlaw League 1nis fall, following the, example of Phil Lewis, of Brooklyn, and other ''Prodigai Sons," he returned to Manager Duffy. After he had paid a fine of $200, the National commission allowed him to play with the Phillies.
 Lush had all the best of the largu- ment with Matty. To win the game he gave about the gamest exhibition any player ever did in New York. When Lush was at bat in the second inning he tried to sidestep one of Mat tvs shoots. The ball struck him on the back of the head and bounded back to the stand. Lush staggered for moment and then fell unconscious flat on his back. When he recovered Manager Duffy and the other Phila- delphia players urged Lush to quit, but the young pitcher insisted on pitching the game. He stuck to his work for eight innings, during which the Giants got only two hits off his southpaw shoots. One of these was clean drive to center by Dan Me Gam and the other a scratch to the pitchers box by Browne.
 Lush gave out in the ninth inning, after passing Dahlen and pitching three bad balls to Devlin.
 Frank Sparks finished the inning and easily retired Gilbert, Bowerman and Mathewson
 After the game, Lush walked to the club house, supported by two of his felloM players, and the crowd gave him a rousing send-off in appreciation of his gameness.
 The Giants won the game in the fourth inning when Sparks lost his aim and handed out three bases on balls. These with an error by Glea- son. Dahlen's amble. and good base running by the Giants netted them five runs.
 The Phillies est to the Iron Man for three earned runs in the second and third innings.

THE GRlDlRON
WORK OF
 THE WARRIORS
Colleges Have Many Men Injured in their Early Games -One Skull Frac- tured and One Player Will Die.

New Haven, Oct 6.-The Yale squad showed the effects of Wednesdays game with Wesleyan. Guard Tripp is out of the game for few days with sprained ankle and Halfback H6yt wrenched his knee and cannot play until the latter part of next week. These mishaps, combined with the in- jury of Captain Shevlin, leaves Yale with just one veteran of last years team, Fullback Finn.
 It is expected that Shevlin will be in condition to play on Saturday. He took. his place at right end yesterday for a short time, and he may be al lowed to get into the Syracuse game.
 The scrimmage yesterday was lively, and a large number of subs were given chance on the college team. The varsity did not over-exert itself and consequently got no further than the college ten-yard line.
 Roy Boggs, from St Pauls school was given chance in the varsity line yesterday, substituting during the lat ter part of the practice for Forbes. Foster Sanford, the old Columbia coach, again assited the Yale coaches.
 LITTLE DOING AT HARVARD.
 Cambridge, Oct 6.-There was little doing in yesterdays practice Of the Harvard football squad, as most of the first string men were told to keep away from the field. The men resting were Pierce, Brill, Squires. Nesmith, Foster, Wendell and Newhall. Pierce was the only man of the number in jured in Wednesdays game. He had his wrist sprained and will be out Of the game for week. Besides these first string men there were number of varsity men on the side lines. Starr has not yet recovered from his ankle bruise. Fultz also rested. Lin coin has a bad leg and Quigley a bad knee. Metcalf, '06, who played quar- terback on the freshman team three years ago. joined the squad yesterday. Dan Knowlton, right tackle on the varsity eleven i'll 1902 and 1905, has returned to the law school, and though eligible, will probably not play. In a ten minute scrimmage between the varsity subs and the second eleven neither side scored.
