'TWAS A HARD FIGHT.
Tom Almost Had Akron Giant
Going ia Fifth.
Betting Had Been All in Favor
of Beaten Pugilist.
Sea Side Athletic Club, Coney Island,
June ?7. For the first time in his pugi
listic career Tom Sharkey went down to
decisive defeat last night in the historic
arena of the Sea Side Athletic club, and
big Gus Ruhlin, the Ohio pugilist, was
lils conqueror. It was. a clean knockout
after 15 rounds of fighting that made a
memorable ring battle. Save in the
matter of aggressiveness Ruhlin led
from the first in every feature of the
frame, and at all times had the fight well
in hand. There was apathy as to the
flsht, and while there was some spirited
betting, Ruhlin never showed better
than ten to seven, and it was even
money that he would not last tenrounds.
(The management in fact, decided to put
the general admission down to $1. There
iwas a big crowd on hand, however, and
they were treated to a rattling good
light, with surprising results.
Sharkey was the first man to come,
and it was 1U:06 d. m. when he ap
peared. Ruhlin showed to great advantage
from a spectator's view point when the
men stood up together. He had height
and weight and reach, and looked big
and muscular. His condition seemed
Iierfett and his work as the battle pro
gressed showed that it was. Sharkey
was not lacking in the matter of con
dition either, and that can not be urged
In explanation or extenuation.
At 10:15 when the men, answering the
pong, came to the center, speculators
went through the crowd offering two to
line on Sharkey.
Sharkey entered the ring, attended by
Tom O'Rourke, Jack Sullivan, Jimmy
Iiui -kit y and George Dixon. The sailor
n-aa clad as usual, in green trunks with
the American flag as a sash.
Ruhlin entered a moment later with
Hilly Madden. Kid McCoy. Charlie Goff
and Jim Corbett as his seconds. The
men tossed for choice of corners, and
Sharkey won. taking the corner he oc
cupied w hen he met Jelt'ries. Both wore
bandages and little time was lost in
rutting on the gloves. Roth men looked
to be in excellent condition, but when
they shook hands in the center of the
ring Ruhlin showed a remarkable ad
vantage in height over the more rupired
bailor. Roth were met with loud cheers
when introduced. Referee Johnnie
"White gave the men their instructions
enrt t he- gong rang for the fray.
Round 1 Sharkey immediately as
sumed the aggressive and rushed Gus
to a neurrai corner, where they clinched.
Tom rushed and led again, sending' both
hands to the bod v. Gus was rattled
but soon collected himself and landed

back with a rush and was mixing it up
whfn the bell rang.
Round 2 Tom rushed over to Ruhlin's
corner and swung wildly for the head
Gus planted a right over the heart and
a straight left to the face, but Tom

then took a hand and jabbed his left
bard to the face and followed with his
rignt. lorn steadied himself and work
ed both hands to the bodv and Gu
landed left and right to the'heml The
fighting was remarkably fast.
Round 3 Tom rushed, and Gus met
Mm with both hands to the head. "Hook
low and wallop," yelled O'Rourke. but
Tom w as mad and again rushed wildly.
Gus slammed him with both hands, but
could not keep him off. Tom then drove
both hands to the body, and Gus coun
tered with his left to the head. Tom
dropped to escape punishment. He was
right up. only to get both hands to the
face and head from Gus. Tom was
bleeding at the nose when the bell rang
and both were tired.
Round 4 Gus danced about when
Tom rushed but when Tom closed
planted a hard right on the sailor's
body. Then they mixed it up in
Sharkey's corner. Gus was very tired
and Tom was little better. Tom rushed
and jabbed his left to the face. He
repeated the blow- and Gus sent him
H'.vay with both hands to the- body.
The round was much slower than the
preceding ones, and both were glad to
liear the bell.
Round 5 Tom was first on his feet
rind meeting Gus in the center planted
liis I"ft to the bwly and swung his l.-ft
to the jaw. Again he landed the same
l unch and Gus .countered with rieht

and. ducking Tom's swings, drove his
right to the body as the bell rangr. Both
Were now very tired.
Rourd R Tom rushed again and jolt
ed his right to the body. Gus closed and
landed left and right to the facce. Tom
was still aggressive and rushed Gus
about the ring. Again Gus jabbed and
followed with a right across to the jaw
Tom dodged it. Tom rushed only to
take a left to the face and a right on
the jaw. Tom staggered and Gus
rushed and banged with both hands to
the jaw and Tom went to the floor, tak
ing the count and only got to his fet
as the bell rang.
Round 9 Torn rushed and Gus met
him w ith a straight left to the face that
Jitnvd him. Tom swung wildly, but his
blows landed around the neck and Gus
planted both hands to the body. Tom
still came on. but Gus measured him
and sent a crashing ri-jht U the jaw.
He could not keep the sailor away, but
every time he came Gus was ready for
him and sent left and right to the head
with telling effect. Gus looked the best
at the bell.
Round 10 Gus stood in his cornet in
a crouching position, and when Tom
came in sent him back with a straight
on the jaw. Tom rushed back and sent
a terrific left to body. He tried to re
peat the blow, but Gus blocked it and
sent a left to the head. Gus mixed it
with him and Tom made him wabble
with a right on the jaw. Gus then swung
a right to the body that could be heard
throughout the building but the sailor
was good yet and was rushing again
when the bell sounded.
Round 11 Tom rushed and swung
left to neck. Both steadied themselves
and Gus jabbed left twice .-to., the- faces
Tom responded with a right on the-jaw-and
Gus broke ground. Tom followed
and jabbed his left to the face and up
percut his right to the chin. Both were
so tired they were hardly able to stand,
for the aggressive sailor rushed only to
take a right swing on the " jaw that
staggered him. Tom swung for the body
but fell short and hit Gua on the thigh
before the close. -
Round 12 Again Tom rushed and
landed on the body. Gus jabbed his left
to the face and sent Tom's head back-
Tom was bleeding badly from the eye
and nose. Tom rushed to a elinch and
pulled Gus across the ring. They broke
and Tom sent a hard right to Ruhlin's
body. Ruhlin shifted about the ring.but
met Sharkey s rushes with left jaos.
Neither man's blows were carrying any
force.
Round 13 Tom rushed, but Gus
danced away and Tom grinned. Gus
labbed his left to the face and, torcing
Sharkey to his own corner drove both
hands to the head. Tom forced his way
out and bore Gus across the. ring and
sw ung a hard right to the head, Gus
was cool and fought cautiously. He
jabbed Tom hard on the face and hook
ed his right, to the head, at tne same
time blocking Tom's swings. Both were
resting at the bell.
Round 14 Tom rushed and fell short
with his right for the body. Gus jab
bed his left to the face, and almost took
Tom off his feet. Ruhlin now seemed
stronger, and three times jolted his
right for the head. Tom was bad, and
Gus banged him around with both
hands, playing heavily on the head. It
looked as if he would surely go, but by
hanging on he managed to stay the
round.
Round 13 Tom was up first.He closed
but Gus sent him away with short and
right jolts on the head.Tom looked tired
and Gus followed him and jabbed his
head back and across his right to the
jaw. Tom staggered, and Ruhlin step
ped in and banged him with both hands
until the sailor staggered to the tioor.
He was up at the count, but unable to
make a defense, and again he went to
the carpet from Ruhlin's blows. With
bull-dog gameness he struggled again to
his feet. Gus by this time was hardly
able to use his hands. When Tom again
gained his feet he staggered to the sail
or and sent short lefts and rights to the
head that looked as if they would not
hurt a child, but Tom was so badly
done for he again went down under
them. Again he rose blindly to his feet
and Gus walked to him. Tom tried to
clinch but Gus stepped back and put a
straight left to the face and a right
hand uppercut to the jaw. Tom toppled
forward all out and Referee uohnny
White waved Ruhlin to his corner.while
the sailor pugilists seconds carried him
to his corner, where he gradually reviv
ed and was soon able to leave the ring.
AFTER THE FIGHT.
When seen in his dressing roomRuhlin
acted like a big child. "Well, what did
you think of it?" was his greeting to the
interviewers. "Did not 1 go all right?
i m a big slow fellow and can t fight,
maybe, but I won, didn't I? Tom's a
tough, game fellow and gave me a good
fight, but I had not any doubt as to the
ending. I'm not hurt and feel fine and
whatever Billy Madden say goes with
me. if he wants to right, I'll fight, I
uon i care wno. -
His manager, Billy Madden said:
"Well, we're now ready for Mr. Jeffries
and hope he will come to time without
delay. I think I have the champion and
will make a match as soon as Jeffries
signifies a w illingness."
bharkey was much downhearted, but
said he had no excuses to make. He
was willing to meet his conqueror again
ana naa iu,uw to wager that there
would be a different result on their next
meeting.
Jim Corbett was highly elated over
Ruhlin's victory. He said Jeffries had
done a lot of talking lately and will now
nave to make good his bluff or quit.

ROBISON MUST COUGH UP.
Dreyfuss Says St. Louis Man Shall

Pittsburg, Pa,, June 27. President
Bernard J. Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg
club talks at length on the difference
between himself and Frank De Haas
Robison of St. Louis regarding the pur
chase of Jack O'Connor. The little pres
ident is fighting mad and promises to
raise the temperature in Robison's
vicinity if there are any more threats
from St. Louis. He said:

the amount, but he returned it to me
with a bitter letter, saying the price
agreed on was $2,000. I filed the check
away, and as soon as Mr. Robison
comes to his senses and is willing to
accept the terms of his own proposition
I 'Will give It to him again, but not one
cent more. I wonder at the stand taken
by Robison, because he knows I have
his telegram voluntarily offering me
Jack O'Connor for $1,000. He knows I
have all his correspondence, earned on
upon the $1,000 basis. It was his own
proposition. .

me, that when the deal was on Mr. Rob

at League Park. in St. Louis and told
him that he was about to dispose of him
to the Pittsburg, club for $1,000. The
conditions of . the sale were that O'Con

KANSASJEWS.
City of Hunnewell in a Sad But
Amusing Condition.
The Treasury Empty and Bills
Cannot Be Paid.
HAS TWO RESOURCES.
An Occupation Tax and Dog
Tax the Sole Income.
Marshal Collects Enough to Pay
Salary and Resigns.
No One to Act and Those Who
Have Paid Are Mad.
Hunnewell, June 27. The "leading
question that agitates the present city
administration is the way out of the
present financial embarrassment in
which the city is placed. At present
there is no money in the treasury and
the city is in debt, the council at its
last meeting having allowed bills to the
amount of $10 more the treasury con
tained. The occupation and dog taxes as they
are now re.Vjiated will amount to about
$100, if collected, and for one month S.
M. Epperly was paid a salary of $10 and
instructed by the council to at once col
lect these taxes. During the month he
collected $23.10 and lighted a few street
lamps. Out of this amount he received.
$10 for his services; then he resigned.
Of the bills, perhaps the largest
amount allowed was 30 some dollars for
putting a pump in the city well at the
crossing on Main street. But some of
these workmen who were a little slow
in getting around to the city treasury
the next day were left or at least until
the city collected more dog or occupa
tion tax. Now that Mr. Epperly has re
signed and no one chosen to succeed
him, there is no one except the clerk or
treasurer to collect this tax.
It is evident that a warm fight will
ensue in the city council soon, over a
proposition to refund all dog or occupa
tion tax already collected, or to imme
diately collect the rest of it. But there
is no money in the treasury with which
to refund, and no city marshal to collect
the tax; neither can the bills be paid.
RUNS BANK FROM THE RANCH.
A Harvey County Capitalist Too Busy
With Farming to Waste Time.
Burrton, June 27. John W. Shive,
president of the Burrton State bank, is
farmer. Five miles out of Burrton
Mr. Shive owns one of the largest and
finest ranches m Kansas. Thousands of
fine cattle and horses roam over his
broad acres, and the value of the crop
raised on the ranch in a single year
would make any man independent for
life.
In managing the affairs of the ranch
and the bank ' at Burrton, Mr. Shive
found that the ranch required most of
his time. He accordingly put in a pri
vate telephone connecting the bank with
his residence on the ranch, and now he
conducts the affairs of the bank over
the telephone. In the ordinary course of
business the cashier of the bank calls
Mr. Shive up by telephone from 15 to 20
times a day, but only four times during
the last three months has he found his
presence at Burrton actually necessary.
Mr. Shive. who is one of the wealth
iest men in Kansas, made practically all
of his money on the farm. He came to
Kansas in the first of the 70s with hard
ly a dollar, and took up a claim, which
is still his homestead. He has added to
it until he is now, with but one or two
exceptions, the largest land holder in
Harvey county. By -his keen business
sagacity and adaptation to the circum
stances, he has amassed a competence,
while others who started under more
favorable conditions, left the state and
pronounced farming a failure in Kan
sas. CLOUD COUNTY'S CROP.
Wheat the Best in Yield and Quality
Ever Known in Its History.
Concordia, Kan., June 27. Cloud
county has just finished harvesting the
largest and best crop of wheat ever
raised within her borders. The weather
has been dry and the wheat has ripened
even and gradual so. that the crop has
been cared for in perfect condition, 53,
000 acres of wheat has been cared for
within the past week. Every farmer
contends that the berry is better and
the average yield larger than ever be
fore. The yield is estimated at from 25 to
40 bushels per acre, which will give to
Cloud county at least 150,000 bushels
of No. 1 wheat.
Oats is equally as good and are now
ready to harvest.

Lindsborg, Kan., June 27. The people

CATARRH IS A CONSTITUTIONAL OR BLOOD DISEASE,
and far beyond the reach of mere local remedies. Those who rely upon them for a cure lose valuable time, meet with disap
pointment and allow the disease to take firmer hold. Only a real blood remedy .car reach this troublesome and dangerous disease.
S. S. S cures Catarrh because it first cleanses and builds up tb: blood, purine it, makes it rich and healthy, stimulates and
puts new life into the sluggish worn-out organs,, and thus relieves the system of all poisonous accumulations.
Mrs. Josephine Polhill. of Due West, S. C, writes : I had Catarrh, which became so deep
seated that I was entirely deaf in one ear, and all inside of my nose, including part of the bone,
sloughed off. When the disease had gone this far the physician gave me up as incurable. I
determined to try S. S. S. as a last resort, and began to improve at once.' It seemed to get at the
seat of the disease, and after a few weeks' treatment I was entirely cured, and for more than
seven years have had no sign of the disease."
S. S. S. is made of roots, herbs and barks of wonderful tonical and purifying
properties. It is the only vegetable blood purifier known,' and a certain and safe
cure for all blood troubles. Send for our book on Blood and Skin Diseases, and at

Few'realize what a deep-seated, obstinate disease Catarrh is, regarding it as a simple inflammation of
the nose and throat, little or no attention is given it. But, however insignificant it may seem at first, it
is serious and far-reaching in its results.
The foul secretions entering the circulation poison the entire system. The stomach, kidneys in
fact all the organs feel the effect of this catarrhal poison, and when the lungs are reached its progresa
is rapid and destructive, and finally ends in consumption.

Baseball Notes.
Think of Brooklyn outbatting Philadel
phia nearly 2 to 1 and yet being beaten.
This is worth a place in the League
Guide.
It Is related that Capain Ryan, of ha
Chicagos, took a sudden dislike o the de
livery of Deacon Phillippe the day after
the big fellow had fanned him a couple
of times. It was impossible to get Ryan
to go into the game again during tne
Pittsburg series.
The Indianaoolis club is severely crip
pled, which accounts for its wretched
showing. Hartsel. its star outfielder, is
still sick with typhoid fever. Seybold is
so lame he can hardly hobble about the
neia.
Philadelphia papers are lambasting Orth
for his ninth-inning let downs.
"Hank," according to the dictionary,
is a skein liable to get badly twisted.
O'Day lives up to his name. Philadel

Chicago should profit by the short right
field fence at White Stocking park. Any
hard fly to right will carry over the
fence. So far, however, the Comiskeyites
have placed only two hits over this fence.
If Zimmer has not grown gray-headed
in the service he certainly Is bald. When
he takes off his cap his head looks like
a billiard ball.
Ebbets says there is no truth in the re
ported transfer of Brooklyn to Washing
ton. "I think Garvin Is having the unusual
experience of a youngster coming into the
leagues before he hardens." says one man.
"If you hurry them in before they have
passed through the American or Eastern
leagites they are bound to show the in-
and-out form. Then, again, it you sena
a player to the American the wealthy
clubs get the good ones. So it's a big
chance you are taking."
There has been a good deal of scrib
bling about the Detroits losing games by
one run. The statement is true, but mis
leading. In a majority of instances their
opponents have not played the ninth in
ning, and in others the winning run was
scored before the ninth was finished, the
winning hit bringing in runs that could
not be scored. Detroit Journal.
Pitcher Jack Katoll, of Chicago, has
good reason to be proud of his feat of
shutting the Hoosier champions out
twice in one series.
. Perry Werden, the big and popular first
baseman of the Minneapolis baseball
team, has been suspended without pay.
That was the story which caused much
speculation among the fans. President
Saulpaugh refused to talk on the sub
ject, referring all questions to Manager
Wilmot. The latter admitted the truth
of the rumor, but refused to talk further
about the matter. "When Werden gets
ready to go to work again he may be re
instated." said Wilmot. "I do not care
to say anything else about it."
Chiles, and Flick, of the Phillies, each
won a silver pitcher for making home
runs.
I,eave Cross has again won a verdict

One of the chief weaknesses attributed
to the Bostons is stupidity on the bases.
This, it is said, has lost them a number
of games. There are some of the Brook
lyn players who could give them lessons
about what to do, how to do it and just
when to do it on the bases.
Douglass is off in his catching and
throwing this season. He has at least
one passed ball every game, and the run
