Members of the Saen-gertest Athletic clab, who were seen yesterday, Eta led that- they -will be guided by the advice of thrir attorueyr.The lawyers will again tell their clients that they have a perfect right, under Section (18110 of the Revised Statutes of Ohio, to give glove contests under a permit from the mayor. Tins permit has been obtained and tbe promoters claim tlmt they will go right along with preparations for the contests. The trial of Jeffries and Ruhiin before- Squire Koebling on ft charge that they are training* for a prize light will be post'poued today until next Monday, at the request of the attorneys on bath sides Late this afternoon the atioTimya who represent the Saengorfest Athletic club will file their answer to the injunction proceedings before Judge Hollister.This will give the court an opportunity to give a final decision on Wednesday or Thursday. Tho promoters do iiot sceiued to he alarmed over the tide-gram from Governor Rash, staring that he *will not permit the boxers to give an exhibition at Saeugeriest hull.“We In-pa to convince the governor that we aro ac ing nnder the law in giving tl ie*c con tests,” said a member of the Sftcngc-rfost Athletic club last night.“It has n^vcr been our intention to give a prize fight, all statements by Governor Hash and others to tliu contrary note withstanding. We have the best legal talent in this city, and they inform us that wejhfivo a right to give glove contests for a limited number of rounds under Sect ion 15330 of the Revised Statutes of Ohio.I saw some of these go nth men today, and was told informally that they will pgain advise us to go ahead with our preparation?. Mayor Fleischnmm acted legally when be gave us (-ho permit, and I understand that Attorney Adam Kramer advised him as^to his rights iu the premi?es. None of us feel as if we arc law breakers, and we resent the in-tertercncn of persons who aro trying to thwart our plans. Wc are perfectly aware of our legal rights, and will exercise them the game as members of any otlr*r lawful corporation. Glove contests are given in this ciryaud elsewhere in the state almost every week, and no one has a legal right to interfere with them. Those who want to prevent glove contests skoutd see to it that Section 0890, utider wh’ch we aro acting, is repealed.Including our $5,000 forfeit, wo have almost $12,000 now invested in thisenterprise, und do nob intend to throw this money to the winds, and thus increase this deficit to over $80,000. Wo were sure that we had a legal right to proceed before we invested a dollar. Tho Sucngcrfesfc Athletic club is nob a temporary organization and will probably give a series of athletic shows to help wipo out thift deplorable deficit.It is quite likely that a wrestling match will bo given betweeu Charley Witrner, of this city, and the winner of the Poufi-Koeber match in New York on February i,51 Gus Ruhiin took things easy at bis training quarters yesterday, putting in the greatest part of the day reading and writing letters.The heavy fall of Know did not prevent him from taking a sprint on the road, but Ifip wcik in the gymnasium was very light.
