THE BROOKLYN DAILT EAGMiE. IN" CAMP AT MTJSKOKA. FITZ, IE VAGARIES OF THE 7QS PUZZLE THE YAGHTSMEK LIVE RACING GOSSIP FROM THE SPA TRACK. but the effort was too much for him and he gave up tho struggle the second Journey around. Arrezzo will be a factor In the steeplechases in the near future.

He has hardly enough speed for a hurdle race, although he fences well. On the occasion of his previous attempt he fell at one of the obstacles, but it was through the faulty efforts of his rider In taking the jump more than owing to any lack of ability on the part of the horse. Timothy D. Sullivan is now in all probability extremely sorry that he started his three year old colt Hesper in a selling race, entered to be sold for such a small Bum as too. looked better, but he did not last that way long, for Fitz' bored and hooked a left on the face that shook the giant up again.

Ruhlin backed away, stabbing in his long, straight left, and Fitz following doggedly, taking the blows and only awaiting a chance. It came when Ruhlin reachod the ropes and a crashing right to the jaw took Ruhlin's senses. Fitz followed with a storm of blows and Ruhlin only saved himself by hanging around Fitz's neck. When the referee separated them Fitz concluded that the time had come, and he whirled in. Ruhlin turned away and Fitz caught him a swing on the side of the head.

Then Fitz followed and beat his opponent to the floor. Ruhlin went down and took the count, but he never got fully straightened out again, for Fitz went after him as he was stooped over. The finishing touch, delivered with the precision and strength of an artist, was a short left hook which was upper cut to the jaw. Ruhlin pitched forward, and as he fell his head dropped limply and he crashed to the floor on the top of his skull. Fitz on His Seconds Shoulders; Buhlin an Inert Mass.

Counting was a mere formality, and Fitz's seconds lifted him up in the air in their glee, while Ruhlin was dragged to his corner an inert and senseless mass. Fitz submitted to treatment on his damaged eye, while Ruhlin required all the attention that could be given to him. The usual post bellum scenes were found, the police clubbing the balf crazed crowd that flooded the ring, kicking out some of those who hadn't a right there and some who had. It did not take very long to clear the building, however, and the arena that a half hour before had been a banked mass of sweltering, shrieking, shirtwaisted 3ports was soon asleep. So was Ruhlin, but It was the stupid semi coma of a badly beaten man.

Very Little Betting on the Result. The speed of the battle was in inverse ratio to the betting, for there has been no heavyweight meeting in years in which there has been little wagering. Both men were more or less uncertain quantities and the Ruhlin folk demanded 10 to 8. a shade more than the others would give. Fitz Still Turned Toward the Championship.

Someone asked Fitz last night when be "would fight again. "Never, if he listens to me," said his wife, softly, and Bob took her hand tenderly and shook hih head, saying: "I don't know what date will be set for the Sharkey battle." Where does Fitz stand is the question today? Ruhlin is set back temporarily, at least, while Fitz is still turning his face toward the premier title. The one defeat in the veteran's career is gradually receding to a position nearer the middle of his long record. His friends are hoping that that record will close with a resignation of the championship 'honors. to see a friend from Chicago, and when he returned he fell to with a will.

Fitz left the hotel for Bergen Beach this morning and he will rest a few days before beginning training to meet Sharkey. He still has his eye on the championship. And judging from last night the old fellow has good vision. The Battle Pita's Wonderful Recuperative Abilities. The feature of the battle, of course, was the terrific blows that Fitz handed out.

but. as he is known to be the most terrific puncher of the ring, this did not surprise the crowds so much as did his wonderful stamina anil recuperative abilities. When the men were called to the center of the ring by the referee, Fitz looked like a little boy beside the burly Ruhlin, who, be it known, is nearly as heavy and a taller and longer reaching man than Jeffries. They wasted no time in preliminaries, and in fifteen minutes after the prelim ary battle was over they were at work. Ruhlin started to speak to Fitz when he entered the ring, but Corbett called him away.

Each had his own gloves and both wore bandages, Ruhlin having great heavy tape wound many times round bis fists. "When they came out, at the bell call. Ruhlin positively towered above his opponent. Fitz looked well and Ruhlin was fine, although he appeared to be just a bit flabby about the waist line. Ruhlin started in to keep Fitz moving, without being rushingly aggressive.

Fitz soon showed that he was out to get the money, without any sparring, and he waded in. Ruhlin feinted and Fitz sent a hard left to the side of the head, getting a righthander in return. Ruhlin did some feinting and Fitz nagged him into a rush, laughing at him as he stepped away. Fitz came in with a swing that landed on Ruhlin's shoulders and the" giant jabbed him with both hands in such style that his seconds saw visions of the winner's end. Fitz Very Wild and His Friends Scared.

Ruhlin continued to rush rapidly, while Fitz was very wild. Ruhlin landed again and again, Fitz wildly swinging the right, and then Ruhlin got too fresh and received a staggering left hook in the mouth, which drew the blood. Ruhlin cut Fitz's eye with a straight left, and, as they clinched, Fitz slipped, holding himself up by an arm around Ruhlin's neck. The bell could not be heard in the din. but it reached Fitz's ears and he stopped fighting.

As he did so, Ruhlin sent in a terrific right swing that blackened Bob's left eye, the blow that he complained of hurting him afterward. The referee separated them. When they went to their corners the 6ports thought that Fitz was going to lose, as he did to Jeffries, by trying to swing his right and getting worn down with left stabs, and they looked at Ruhlin admiringly, expecting to see him repeat his trick with Sharkey over again. There were very few in the great crowd who did not think that Fitz was on the wrong end of the scales, and one excited bettor jumped up and yelled: "Why, there's nothing to it. Five to one on Ruhlin." Ruhlin was evidently sent out in the second round to finish what his seconds thought to be a winning fight, and he opened up with some terrific swings.

As Fitz did not deign to either block or duck them, it appeared that he must be dazed. But there never was a bigger mistake, as Ruhlin found out to his cost. Ruhlin opened the Cornishman's cut eye again, and, in so doing, he left an opening for the right. Fitz sent it crashing home and the blow turned the tide of battle. Fitz sent a quick left into the stomach, and, as it afterward proved, Ruhlin never thereafter had a chance.

Fitz's ridiculously small legs never stood in him in better stead. Thin as pipe stems, they are, but he never even quavered, and. as Ruhlin began to back away, they carried the Cornishman into close quarters. The Laugh on Corbett and Madden. Then Madden and Corbett, Ruhlin's seconds, began to yell to their man: "Don't let Virginia Finishes First on the Rut) to Vineyard Haven, but Is Disqualified.

THE YARN OF THE REPORTER. Bets With a Bookmaker and Wins, Yefc. Loses What the Yachts Are Doing. It was generally reported yesterday tha Virginia, W. K.

Herreshoft: seventy footer, was if not quite, a wreck; that she was unBeaworthy; that, at any moment, she might be expected to break; up; that Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr. (ne Virginia Fair) has requested, and even Im plored, Mr.

Vanderbilt to get rid of his yacht that she has represented to him the craft's), unsafe condition, emphasizing expert opinions that it might go to pieces at any moment. Despite all such prognostications, desplta the fact that Virginia did show undoubted defects in construction, Mr. Vanderbilt, with the true instinct of a yachtsman, which is seldom met with nowadays among the million aires of our country, sailed his yacht yester and to such good purpose that he beat the fleet across the line easily in the run the New York Yacht Club from Newport to Vineyard Haven, the Mlneola, August Bel mont'e seventy footer, coming in over two minute6 behind her. The fact tMat Virginia won, however, did; not give her" the race. She, with a dozen or.

so other yachts, was disqualified for dls obeying sailing instructions by venturing ln 1 side of the middle ground, and the race was awarded 0 the Mineola, which was the sec ond yacht to finish. Among the other yachts which were dls qualified for sailing into the proscribed mid die ground were the sloops Wasp and Sistao, tho yawl Petral and the schooners Latona and Katrina. In class I Hester had another somewhat in ipid victory, beating both Astrild and. Isold easily by oyer ten minutes. This "makes Hester's claim to supremacy in her class ba yond a shadow of a doubt.

Wasp had an easy thing in Class J. as) both Sayonara aud Petrel were disqualified. Shark, the new Herreshoff 51 footer, won in her class rather easily, defeating Syoo' by 3 minutes 10 seconds. CoudSgss was not in the race yesterday, which left it to thei Herreshoff boat Effort to all appearances. It was a case of appearances being deceptive' however, as Kiowa won out by nearly ma minutes over Effort.

Constellation again won in Class schooners, and Corona sched uled her first win on the cruise by beating Mayflower. Quisetta won easily, both Latona and Katrina being disqualified and Wayward got the best of Indra and Uncas on both; elapsed and corrected times. It should have been a great day's sport, hut It was spoiled by tho inadequacy of the' sailing directions, which made it possible; for half a dozen of the contenders to be dis qualified for disobeying them. It would probably be well, in future, either to eschew complicated directions or make them plain enough for him who runs to read. Throughout the race yesterday to Vina yard Haven a strong, steady breeze was blowing and the result was a good fair test' of tho capabilities of the competing The fluky wind of the day before was con spicuous by its absence and nothing remained to be wished for when the yachts crossed the finish.

When Mr. Vanderbilt was notified that the Vlrgiuia had been disquali fled his only remark was, smilingly, "That'a It is now up to Mineola, or any other' 70 footer, to show which is really the best. The runs of the New York Yacht Club thus far have given all sorts weather excepting a gale, but very light winds preponderating. The actual winnings of the 70s on the crulB are as follows: Rainbow, Mineola, VUx ginia, Yankee, 0. The disqualification of Virginia yesterday, presumably through no especial fault of the skipper, as half a dozeq other boats were also disqualified for tho same, reason, makes the official standing of the 70a as follows: Rainbow, Mineola, Virginia, 1, and Yankee 0.

While it is up to the best of the 70s to prove that It is best, it is also up to tha yachting expert who thinks he knows it all to predict the winner. Undoubtedly there will be dozens who wiil essay the task of doping a winner. People who are willing to hazard a guess are not few. But it is a sure thing that no expert in yachting matters will hazard his reputation by pinning it to any of the 70s. If it were a horse race with all four In, It would be quoted 2V4 to 1 and take your pick.

It is not a horse race, however, and, as betting does not go in yachting, excepting, perhaps, a bet of a dime or so, there will be no. odds quoted on the result. The thirty footers had a true, fresh breeza in which to sail their sweepstakes yesterday at Newport. The Dyer's Island course, eighteen miles, was sailed over, the starting signal being given at 3:20. Brava, well sailed by Reginald Brooks, beat the Pollywog by twenty seconds, the Veda finishing seven seconds further back.

Dorothy, Esperanza, Vaquero III and Asahi also competed. Strange as it may seem the advent of tha seventies has engendered a spirit of speculation among the chronic sports of Brooklyn Borough, which seems incongruous to yachtsmen in general, as well as to the speculators themselves. This has been brought about, in all probability, more through the Inscrutable doings of the yachte, their supreme disregard for precedent and dope, than from any other cause. In conversation with a bookmaker yesterday an Eagle reporter received much light upon the versatility of the Brooklyn gambler. Entering a resort where book on the races at Saratoga was made, the reporter was met by the query: "How about those yachts? You should be able to give us a line on them, as you have been following them up carefully." The reporter replied that it was a vexed question which even the most expert yachtsmen gave up, but that in his opinion Virginia should win.

"Two to one she doesn't," remarked the bookmaker. The reporter ventured a dollar on the proposition 2 to 1 taking Virginia for his end. The result proved how foolish it is to gamble. There Is always a percentage against the gambler. Virginia won, thus justifying; the yachting reporter's judgment.

She was, however, disqualified, thus justifying tha gambler in his 2 to 1 bet. It was a case horse and horse The expert was right in his sizing up of the opponents but he lost Just the same, and the" gambler, who reliefl upon the chances of the game, without any knowledge of the relative merits, won tha money.

Deverauk Emmett Loses in the Third Bound at Match Play Vardon at Lake Placid. The second round and semi finals for the Otsego Cup were played at Otsego yesterday along with a mixed foursome competition. The surprise of the morning round was the brilliant style in which Holmes, the Tuxedo school boy, held his own with Devereux Emmet of Garden City, who played in such fine style yesterday, when he bore off the honors of the day. Holmes drove equally as well as Emmet and was fully as strong at his short game, much to the surprise of the gallery, who considered Emmet the only high class golfer in the tourney. They were all even at the eighth and again at the fourteenth, but Emmet won the next three and the match by 3 up and 1 to play.

Emmet, however, came to grief in the afternoon, when he was defeated by A. D. Comp ton. Of the Otsego people, Stephen Clark beat W. Festus Morgan in the morning and G.

Perhaps the most marked characteristic of golf is the zest that comes of repeated failure. There is surely no other game from which the inexpert derive so much satisfaction.

At cricket the unskilled nerformer has his middle stump removed by the first straight Dan, wmcn is not exhilarating, and it is difficult to derive much pleasure from long hours passed in fielding out. At foot ball he is rolled over In the mud amid the jeers and groans of the spectators. At hockey, lawn tennis, lacrosse, the missed opportunity does not recur, and, moreover, these are games which require the elasticity of youthful muscles, a quick eye, and a hand that works in unlsonl Golfing (London). At Fleetwood two boys have been birched for breaking into the club house and stealing ClubS and bnllR. Tha RlrnVaa tuarr, el Golfing (London).

Here Is a good story of the Duke of eDvon shlre, whose good lady is an enthusiastic sun porter of the game.

The duke is paying great attention to tne development of his East bourne property, and when the new golf links were opened ne determined that he would inaugurate the proceedings by striking the first blow. He knows little of the game: but a choice assortment of clubs, stymies, pulitzers. barracnutas, Jamlees and other instruments connected with It were selected for him. The ball was duly placed on the knob, and the duke taking the instrument that is most fitted for the purpose, proceeded to make a mighty smite. Bringing it well back, he let fly, and that was all that he accomplished, much to the amusement of the bystanders, whose hilarity tho duchess thought wa3 unseemly.

The ball remained on the knob. Golfing (London). INTERNATIONAL ATHLETICS. An Association Proposed to Govern World's Championships. It is probable that in the future national championships in the athletic world will take a secondary position to the international championships.

J. E. Sullivan, secretary of tho Amateur Athletic Union, is the chief mover in the new scheme. On July 27, at his Instance, there was a meeting at the office of the A. A.

W. in Paris of representatives from the various countries Interested in athletics, the object being the organization of an International association, which should hold championship games annually, in each country In turn. The matter was fully discussed, and, while nothing definite was settled beyond tho name of the association The Union Ath letique Internationale tho scheme seems to have tho hearty co operation of all tho foreign representatives, who were then present. Uniform rules Is one of tho chief objects of tbe new association, so that all will know them in advance. IS STILL A YOUNGSTER.

Terribly Drubbed ih the First He Picked Up Strength and Finished Ruhlin in the Sixth Round. THE KNOCKOUT A LEFT HOOK. But the Blows That Pulled the Giant Down Were Those in the Stomach. Ruhlin Badly Beaten. There i3 another scalp at old Fltz's belt! for another young giant, who was reckoned by many to be on the topmost rung in the heavyweight championship ladder, stumbled over the marvel of pugilistic history at Madison Sauare Garden last night.

It took the Cornishman until near the end of the sixth round, but ho did the trick so cleanly, when the time came for the finishing touches, that Ruhiin, his opponent, was terribly punished and. for a time, it was feared that the terriflo blows which ho had received had seriously injured him. Fitz, for the second time in his career, was decorated with a black eye, two of them at once, this time: his throat was hurt by the elbow blow Ruhlin unintentionally gave him and his recently repaired left hand was badly bruised. But the "old man of the ring," who is close under the lee shorn of the forty year mark, went upstairs three steps at a time when he returned to the Bartholdi Hotel, where his wife was waiting for him. His face was bruised and cut in a couple of places, but he said that the blow In the throat alone had hurt him and a couple of hours after the battle he was eating a hearty meal and discussing the affair.

Ruhlin, on the other hand, required much working oyer after he had been carried to his corner. He was brought around with difficulty and taken to a Turkish bath, where he was worked over until 5 o'clock this morning. Then he was taken in a carriage to his manager's home in South Brooklyn. Nearly ten thousand sweltering sports saw the mill, which Was one of the cleanest ever fought, in Bplte of the fact that it was the most grueling pace ever set by any two men In the class. Both gave and took such terrific slugging in the first round that they were never at their best afterward, and the victor, like the vanquished, was at times so weary that he could not raise his arm for a blow.

But the cunning old fellow, even when his seconds feared that he was too weak to turn the trick, was still storing up some steam. He continued through the third, fourth and fifth rounds to gain strength as Ruhlin lost energy, and, when the moment arrived, the moment that Fitz was waiting for, the veteran rained out blows like an entirely fresh athlete. The knockout blow was a left hook, which was whipped up to Ruhlin's jaw as the giant was half stooping. Fltz's fist did not travel two feet in delivering it. but it might as well have been a ton of brick falling on Ruhlin.

There was no use in counting the seconds, for the Akron man was lying on his face and a fighter who falls prone on his face never gets up unassisted. He may go over on his back a dozen times and still get up and fight back, but when he goes crashing down without being able to careh himself on his hands, it is all over. Fitz knew it was all over, his "seconds and friends and opposing seconds knew it was all over. Everybody but Ruhlin knew it was the finis. Fitzsimmons Weighed Only 158 Pounds And Fitzsimmons weighed not an ounce over the middleweight limit of 158 pounds.

The crowds will say that he looked heavier, for the Cornishman's pounds are always deceptive. But it is an absolutely indisputable fact that Fitz yesterday morning weighed an even 165 pounds, with his street clothes on, clothes that weighed" n3t less then seven pounds and maybe more. Ruhlin acknowledged to 195 and was at least ten pounds over this, Fitz thus giving him in the neighborhood of 50 pounds. To mow down such a giant, the victor needed his claim to being the hardest hitter in pugilistic history and last night h6 added a strong claim to being able to stand as much punishment as anyone. Time and again Ruhlin sent in right and left punches and even swings, Fitz not so much as moving to one side or putting up his hands to block the blows blows that maJe Sharkey non compos in a few rounds.

At one time, Fitz actually stood up. with his hands down at his sides, while Ruhlin sent in left and right swings to the number of six to his unprotected face and jaw. The friends of the Cornishman felt cold shivers going up their backs, for it looked as if Fitz were going down and maybe out. But Fltz's ungain 1 shanks, not so big around as Ruhlin's big i never, even shook and when he went 1 uck at the big fellow he exacted compound iterest for the blow3 received. Ktz's Own Story of the Battle.

The Eagle repp tor was with Fitz until 2 o'clock this morning and the Cornishman gave him his views of the battle in detail, not another newspaper representative seeing the victor at the hotel. After greeting his wife affectionately Fitz sat down on a sofa near a window, under which, three stories below in the street, was a crowd of a thousand yelling admirers, and submitted to an examination by a physician. Fitz spoke with difficulty, for the larnyx was badly swollen. This was from a blow with the elbow, for which the referee cautioned Ruhlin, the only foul blow of the fight. The physician rubbed the damaged part while and then announced that Fitz was all right and retired.

The Cornishman's first comment was: "That fellow is a terribly hard puncher and he is clever, too. I did not think, from his battle with Sharkey, that he was so good; hut I know it now. It was the hardest fight of my career and I think it was the greatest rind fastest that ever took place. My throat hurts and my left hand will not close tight, but beyond a pain in my 'Adam's apple', I feel all right. Give me a swallow of ice water.

Thanks. I think I'll take a bath." Fitz retired to the tub where he was bathed and steamed by Dan HIckey and George Dawson. Then he went into his bedroom and was massaged by these men and Jeff Thorne and Jack Neary, the massage artist. Fitz was back on the lounge again and with a pillow under his head submitted to Eteaming hot towels over his eyes and throat. This treatment conquered most of the swelling and relieved the pain in the throat.

Fitz took a long drink of ginger ale and smiled contentedly, Mrs. Fitzslmmons sitting beside him, holding his hand and tears of joy Welling in her eyes as she fanned him gently. Then he exclaimed, rolling his head in illustration of his sensations: "He Tired but Did Not Daze Me." "I was so tired. His blows did not hurt me; indeed, I'll swear I didn't feel them, except that smash after the' bell in the first found. Here Fitz gingerly felt the swelling at his left eye.

"That one hurt," he declared with emphasis, "and I was shaken up by it, but none of his other blows dazed me a bit, but they made me so tired, I didn't know Just what I would do for a minute. "As I stood there and let him swing on my Jaw, I thought to myself 'what a fool I am to do this," but I wasn't a bit frightened and I did not feel that he could hurt me. I had my wits all of the time and heard all of the hells, even when Ruhlin didn't. He was worse than I at every stage and I knew it was only a question of save up. There were times when I might have finished him sooner, but I knew the game was mine and I did not worry a bit.

His blows were so hard that they took some of my eteam in the first sound, so I went in to store up enough for the rally. "Oh, That Solar Plexus Blow!" "That blow I landed on his solar plexus at the end of tho second was a corker and Ruhlin never got over it. He is a monstrous big fellow, but you know the old saying, 'The blssor they are, the further they have to ViTs, he is a good man, better than I thought, but ho isn't good enough to do the old man yet awhile. "If I had fought like thaj with Jeffries I tvould never have lost tho championship, for this fellow is a better man than tho champion and can lick him any time thoy meet." Hero Fltz's appetite got in its fine work and he rang for the waiter. While the order for steak and etcs and tomatoes was beins paocutad Jritz ran ub stairs to the floor above Foxhall P.

Keene Talks of Domino's Death and of Commando and Cap and Bells. A JOKE ON THE FLEISCHMANNS. Back The Parader and MacLeod of Saxe Heavily and Their Own Horses Win. (Special to the Eagle from Saratoga.) The Saratoga racing season Is now in full sway and for the next two weeks the visitors at the Spa in quest of excitement will enjoy plenty ol sport. For never, since the inaugural year's racing, back in the sixties, have there been so many thoroughbreds, ranging In quality from the mediocre selling plater to the horse of royal lineage, quartered at Horse Haven.

In former years lack of entries, due to small purses and the desire of many owners to rest their horses for the fall season of races on the Metropolitan courses, have caused small fields. This year, however, the Increase in the value of the overnight events, coupled with the many valuable stakes which have been offered for competition, has brought out large fields of all classes of horses. The meeting during the first seven days was run at a great loss to President Walbaum and his associates, due to the conflict of dates with the Brighton Beach meeting and the deficit, during the' first week, averaged over $1,000 a day. With the end of the Brighton meeting came prosperity, and, although the association doe3 not expect to make much money it will with favorable weather at least break even on the short season of twenty two days. Walbaum believes that he is entitled to clear dates and in all justice he should have them.

He made the great mistake of fighting the Jockey Club a few years ago and he now pays the penalty. This year he does not fare as well as in 1899, when he was given eighteen clear days, making money for the first time since he acquired the track, back in 1S93. Fourteen days are all that he has this year, but he decided to run his meeting, even with a loss staring him in the race. Foxhall P. Keene represents the Steeplechase and Hunt Association in the judges' stand as steward during the running of the hurdle and steeplechases.

Mr. Keene is enthusiastic over racing in Great Britain. Together with his father, James R. Keene, he has a strong string of thoroughbreds now racing across the water, including Disguise II, the 3 year old son of Domino, which, in the Derby, ran Into third place. Foxhall believes that Disguise II should have won the Derby.

His defeat he lays to Sloane's poor judgment during the running of the race. The death of Domino, Mr. Keene believes, removed the most promising sire America has ever had. He points with pride to the many successes that his sons and daughters have achieved. Commando, he thinks, is the fastest 2 year old colt in the world, while Cap and Bells, which is also by Domino, Is, In his opinion, the fleetest filly.

Very unfortunately. Commando Is not eligible for the Futurity, the richest event on the American turf. Cap and Bells is, however, and she will be a sure starter in the race, which will be run on Saturday, August 25, at Sheepshead Bay. This race will, in all probability, be the last event in which the historic white, with blue spots, will be seen on an American race course thi3 year, for the entire stable of horses in training will be shipped to England early In September, James Rowe going along as trainer and Henry Spencer as jockey. That the foreign Invasion will be successful, there is hardly any reason for doubt.

Spencer's style of riding, with Mb patienoe and also his strong finishing powers, are sure to impress our English cousins favorably. He combines all that is best In the American and English style of riding, and he will force the other American riders now over there to look to their laurels. When Voter was sent abroad, some years ago, the mistake was made of training him ito go a distance of ground, the results being extremely unsatisfactory. For Voter, while he Is the fastest sprinter in this and, in all probability, every other country, does not possess the stamina to go a distance of ground, and he was beaten time and again on the English courses. The advent, on the other side, of this strong collection of the Messrs.

Keene will be watched with great interest by all Americans who have pride in the American thoroughbred. While Walbaum remains at the head of the Saratoga Racing Association, the Jockey Club will hardly do more than sanction the annual held here. With some one who would work more in accord with the body that controls racing in this state, the meetings could be made more successful. It would not be necessary to purchase the track outright. The grounds could be leased for a period of five years, for $14,000 a year, which is only 4 per cent, on the purchase figure of $330,000, as Walbaum would be only too glad to be relieved of responsibility.

This would include Horse Haven, that great recuperating ground for horses, with its many stables, capable of accommodating nearly six hundred animals, and the mile training track, on whose soft, sandy soil so many leg weary and broken down thoroughbreds have been brought around Into shape. With James K. Keene, Philip J. Dwyer, or some other prominent men at its head, the Saratoga Racing Association would take on a new lease of life. Almost every year, during the racing season, the old rumor that August Belmont is about to lease or purchase the track, is started.

This year the story is revived with many embellshments. It is absurd on its face, for Mr. Belmont has repeatedly denied that he will become in any way connected with the track. He is president of the State Racing Commission, and this alone precludes any possibility of his even indirectly assuming charge of the track. Caldwell, without the barrier, and Caldwell, with the barrier, contrast as much as did Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. His starting, with the aid of the Clark Unlng up harrier, yesterday afternoon, was excellent. In fact, It compared favorably with the best seen around New York In years. The fields went to the post, lined up In front of the bamboo webbing, which stretched across the track, broke in unison and were dispatched on their journey in cloBe order, with little, If any.

delay. The contrast with Thursday's wretched work was really start) ins. In the race lor the Pepper stakes some fault was found by those who had wagered on the Parader, but his backers had no reason to complain. It was the fault of the horse, which was slow In beginning. The stable of horses which run in the name of C.

Flelschrr.ann's Sons has been fortunate in the large two year old stakes this year. With Irritable, Blues and Bonnibert they have captured a number of the rich turf plums. As an example of how little the representative of the stable at the track. Will Fleischmann, knowB about the capabilities of his horses, it is only necessary to say that he did not believe that his candidate for the Pepper stakes, Bonnibert, had a chance to win and bet $1,000 on R. T.

Wilson, The Parader at even money. Bonnibert won by a half length, with Alard Scheck a length in front of The Parader. Only a few days ago Fleischmann allowed Bonnibert to run without any stable backing and the colt won. Yesterday afternoon he backed MacLeod of Dare In the mile and a furlong handicap and his own horse, Peaceful, which he hnd purchased out of a selling race on Friday last, won with the sweet odds of 8 to 1 quoted against him, while MacLeod of Dare was unplaced. Frank D.

Heard, the Brooklyn horse owner, who is one of the few wealthy men on tho turf deriving a profit, as well as pleasure out of racing, has so far failed to do anything startling with his horses, although on two occasions they have finished inside the money. Osceola, on Thursday, was only beaten a head, while yesterday his jumper, Sir Hubert, ran third in the two mile hurdle handicap and mlht have won but for his faulty fencing at the jump on the paddock turn. Finnegan rode him, and when the horse struck the hurdle in raising to it he was almost, thrown over his head, the mishap causing to lose half a dozen lengths and destroying his chances of winning. Tho winner was Klnndyke and the second horso Einer. Arrezzo mado the pace for a mile.

$500, far below his value. He was at 3 to 5 in the betting, so that Mr. Sullivan and his legion of Tammany Hall and Bowery friends could hardly have profited to any great extent by their betting operations. The horse, under the rule regarding selling races, was offered at auction after he had won, and Mr. Sullivan viewed with pain and sorrow the bidding up of his horse to $2,500 by the manager of the Hawthorne stable, whose horse Tartar had finished second.

Frank Brown, trainer for Sullivan, protected Hesper with the usual $5 retaining bid. Of the $2,000 raise the Hawthorne stable received $1,000, the other half going to enrich the almost empty coffers of the association. It was said that Sullivan's commission on Hesper was $2,000, which meant a return of $1,200 on the money invested. The purse was worth $400, so the horse's victory cost Sullivan $400.

fiigDle. TRIPLE TIE AT MUNICH. Pillshury, Maroczy and Schlechter Bunched for Chief Chess Honors. "Will Play Off. Munich, August 11 The triple tie anticipated in the International chess masters' tournament here has materialized, though not altogether in the manner expected, and, in consequence, the three leaders, H.

N. Plllsbury, the American champion; G. Maroczy, the Hungarian champion, and C. Schlechter of Vienna, have been called upon to play a supplementary tourney among themselves to decide the issue. This will begin to morrow and each of the three players will contest two games with both of the other competitors.

The winner will receive the trophy presented by Prince Regent' Lultpold of Bavaria, in addition to the first prize of 1,000 marks. The second and third prizes are 800 and 600 marks, respectively. In yesterday's final round, Schlechter obtained a distinct advantage over Maroczy, but was unable to make it good, so that the Hungarian escaped with a draw. Pillsbury was thus given a capital opportunity to pull out in front of both of them, but proved unequal to the emergency. Berger, the noted analyst, put up a great jgame against the Yankee and succeeded in holding him down to a draw.

This brought about a tie between Pillsbury and Maroczy, with Schlechter one point behind. The last named was able to cut down this difference when he received the resignation of Halprin in their adjourned game this morning. Another very important game, contested yesterday, was that between Marco of Vienna and Burn of Liverpool, as it determined the possession of the fourth and fifth prizes. The Englishman managed to outplay his opponent and to pass him at the last moment by half a point. W.

Cohn of Berlin is reasonably sure of sixth place, inasmuch as the remaining adjourned game between Berger and Bardeleben is thought to be a win for the latter. In that case, Berger, Janowski and Wolf will share the seventh and eighth prizes. The fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth prizes amount to 400, 300, 250, 200 and 150 marks, respectively.

Brookline, Mass, August 11 Too close planning the matter of time allowance and too little regard for the elements combined yesterday to bring to an abrupt and rather unsatisfactory ending the International Lawn Tennis Tourney, which has been In progress for the last three days upon the courts of the Long wood Tennis Club at this place.

A terrific thunderstorm, which descended yesterday afternoon, in the very middle of the third match at singles, drenching the courts and preventing all further thoughts of play, was the cause for the summary finish. As H. Roper Barrett sails for England to day ind A. V. Gore and E.

D. Black are scheduled to play at Southampton, L. in the last day's matches of the Meadow Club Tourney, it is impossible to have the Whitman Black match played or the Davis Gore match, which was in progress yeterday when the rain came, completed. While it is not for the Americans, as hosts, to criticise the plans of their guests, especially as our champions have already won the possession of the Davis challenge trophy for a year, in search of which the Englishmen camo across, it is, nevertheless, highly unfortunate that the visitors should have restricted themselves so much as to time as to prevent the fall match being played. It is, however, the Britishers, not the home players, who lose by the status quo.

When the rain began falling yesterday, about 4 o'clock, interrupting play in the Davis Gore match, both men were putting up a clever game. It had taken sixteen games to decide the first set. the donor of the challenge trophy finally winning out by taking a game on Gore's serve and following it up with a win on hie own service. The final score was 9 to 7. The second set was even more closely contested than the first, the men being on the nineteenth game when rain began to fall, with the score 9 games all.

Both men depended largely on their service and that they were very evenly matched the scores plainly show. Davis showed, perhaps, a few more puzzling twists than did his opponent, although he won but one more game on his service than did Gore. The American took five games off Gore's service, while the Britisher won four when Davis had the love. In the seventeen games which Davis served, he scored seven aces against Gore's two. The way in which Davis cut the ball, frequently causing it to bound in a way very baffling to his opponent, was another slight advantage which the home players had.

The placing of Davis, too, was excellent, and time and time again the American would drop the ball Just over the netf, where it was absolutely impossible for the Englishman to reach it. On the whole, what slight advantage there was seemed to be in favor of the American player. Gore also placed with great skill, landing several accurate drives on the back line of Davis' court. He soon abandoned lobbing tactics, however, as Davis killed his lobs out of reach. Gore double pointed twice in succession in the first game of the second set and twice in the ninth game of the first set.

Allen and Clothier Win at Meadow Club (Special to the Eagle.) Southampton, L. August 11 The Long Island lawn tennis meeting was brought to an end yesterday, with tho exception of the supplemental matches between the English and American cracks, which will hold the Meadow Club courts this afternoon. The victory of the veteran W. A. Larned, In the championship singles, in the morning, proved to be a popular one with the large gallery of on lookers.

Yale's former champion, John A. Allen, twice distinguished himself, first by taking the final match in the consolation singles from Samuel Hardy, the Californian. and then winning the doubles, paired with young W. J. Clothier against the Pacific Coast champions, the Hardy brothers.

This match was one of the bitterest battles ever played here and the final result is regarded somewhat in the light of an upset. The Hardys were very erratic in the opening set and were easily beaten by the score of 6 0. They rallied in the second set, however, and by close work at the net forged to the front, only to be defeated again by the aggressive play of the plucky Allen, whose ground strokes and forehand volleys were wonderful. The second set went to Allen and Clothier at 6 4. Undaunted by the fierce attacks of their opponents, the California team made a strong rally in the third out and checked the Yale PonnBylvanla pair's progress for a time.

Both Allen and Clothier hung to their places at the net, despite the efforts of the Hardys to dislodge them. The ciever lobbing of the coast champions and the accuracy of their court shots pulled out this set for their side at 63. Again the Hardys forced the playing In the fourth set and to such good advantage that they were soon In front at 31. Then Allen and Clothier regained the net by playing to the weak spot of their opponents, their inability to use overhead strokes and to kill and smash. Allen kepi putting in clever passes and Clothier won laurels for himself by brilliant smashing and place shots, and together they pulled out five consecutive games and the set and match.

A. W. Gore and E. D. Black, tho English experts, will meet.

Richard Stevens and W. A. Larned in tho closing matches of the tournament this afternoon, and. as the weather promises to be all that could be desired for fine tennis, some excellent sport will be provided for the close of the meeting. Itockaway ru ru li.

This was just ex actly what was worst tor ituoun, tor tne oniy time he did any effective work was from a stand up sparring match.

At these times, when both men stood still on their feet, Ruhlin's long reach and quick left did good work, and had he been able to hold Fitz off he might have made a much better showing. But when it came to rushing ltz tnis was just exactly what the Cornishman wanted, for it was in the mix ups that Ruhlin's long arms were useless and that Fitz did all of his work. The camp enjoyed a good laugh on Corbett and Madden over this when the battle was over. A Terrific Solar Plexus Blow, the Bell Saving Ruhlin. But the second round was not yet over.

Fitz continued to get in close, but he appeared to bo too weary to do any damage. He forced Ruhlin to the ropes, however, and put in the left and right and then, backing Ruhlin into the ropes near his own corner, he whipped in just such a left on the stomach as he landed on big Dunkhorst. Ruhlin fell to his hands and knees, groaning with pain. He took the full count and got up very weak. As Fitz went in to end matters the bell rang.

Thus the end of the second round made it appear that Fitz had only been sizing things up in the first, and the speed he showed silenced all clamoring for bets against him. Fitz rushed at the beginning of the third and met a straight left that made his head go back. Next time he went under the left and got both hands to the head, making a big lump on Ruhlin's left temple. Ruhlin was now bleeding profusely. His nose was smashed flat against his face and the blood poured from it in streams.

Fitz continued to worm into close quarters and, while still a bit wild, he was slowly, but surely, sapping the giant's strength. Ruhlin became very weary and Fitz was so tired from his onslaught that he several times rushed in and then did not have the strength to raise his fists for a blow, the men falling together and holding each other up. Ruhlin clinched desperately and regained his strength first and sent in a straight left and a wicked right, but just as the crowd was yelling at his showing Fitz hooked in a vicious right on the cheek. Fitz Still Playing Off. It now appeared that the man who landed a clean, hard blow first would win, but foxv old Fitz knew there wasn't a blow of this kind left in Ruhlin and, while he continued to rush to keep Ruhlin from sparring, frequently not even striking a blow, he at the same "time kept weakening the big fellow.

Ruhlin landed the blow with his left elbow in this round, a back elbow, as it is called, and Referee White stepped in and warned him. Fitz got In a left jab on the damaged wind and they fell over on the ropes, the referee separating them as the bell sounded. When thoy came up for the fourth Fitz rushed clear across the ring and began hostilities. Ruhlin crouched over, a la Jeffries, and aimed a catlike blow at the wind, but Fitz ran in close and. swinging his right over and down on Ruhlin's left ear, took all of this styie out of him.

For the next minute Fitz was cruelly deliberate and then he appeared to be so tired that he could not move, although he kept rushing Ruhlin around the ring, Ruhlin turning once and running away. Corbett and Madden yelled out that Fitz was faking and warned Ruhlin and the words were hardly out of their mouths when the Cornishman whipped in a crashing left on the wind and Ruhlin looked as if he would have got out of the ring If the ropes had not been there. Corbett Warned by the Police. Corbett rai. along the ring side to warn Ruhlin again and was threatened by the police, who evidently feared that he would try to lose for Ruhlin on a foul.

Fitz rained in the blows and their very number beat Ruhlin to the floor, the bell just coming in time. And a glad sound it must have been to the Westerner's bruised ears. Fitz opened the fifth in the same style and Ruhlin had hardly got out of his corner before the Cornishman was on him. Ruhlin was weak and groggy, but still strong on his feet. Fitz punched his left to the face and as Ruhlin's guard wont up he brought it down on the wind.

Ruhlin groaned with pain and hung on for dear life. Then Fitz stood up with his arms down at his sides and Ruhlin smashed in first left and then right, making six blows in succession. Fitz never budged, but stood' there and took it all and then he went in to close quarters again with both fists for the body. He grinned over Ruhlin's shoulders in the clinches. Ruhlin was very groggy from the attack and lay helplessly against Fitz, who was too wise to waste strength in pushing him away.

Fitz still seemed to be tired and weak, but he was still fooling everybody and when they went to their corners Fitz walked like a winner while Ruhlin sapged from side to side like a waterlogged plank in an eddy. Both were now terribly cut up about the face. It was In this round that a spurt of blood came from Ruhlin's nose and poured down Fltz's back in a clinch, leading many to think that the stomach blows might, have given Ruhlin a hemorrhage.
