In the Roped Arena.Oscar Gardner, the “Omaha Kid,” has a brother, Eddie, who has done good work with his fins. I-Ie was whipped by Dave Sullivan in nineteen rounds in Brooklyn not long ago, but made* a good stand, at one time having Sullivan almost out. He is an ambitious fighter, and is willing to tackle any of them in his class.Joe Gans, the Baltimore negro, whc has been denounced in some quarters a* a quitter for his action in refusing to go farther after the twelfth round with Frank Earne, the lightweight champion, has been matched for a gc with Dal Hawkins, the clever San Francisco lightweight. Gans has scored over “Spike”, Sullivan, who knocked Hawkins out in twenty-two rounds in New York in 1898. • ISharkey has made the announcement that after Sept. 1 he will break with his manager, Tom O’Rourke, and paddle his own canoe. The sailor gave out this statement after the articles for a match with Gus Ruhlin, on July 16, had been signed. If either man is whipped before that date the match is on. Sharkey is to fit up a gymnasium on his Sheepshead Bay place, and in time expects to learn how to play I the piano, so ’tis said.Ruhlin shows considerable nerve in making matches with both Fitzsimmons and Sharkey, but then Gus’ work of late entitles him to recognition from ‘the big ones. He has been defeating me just below the top notch class, and also has boxed with some of the best. The only case in which he really made a bad showing was against Sharkey, when he was put out in one round. If Ruhlin defeats Fitzsimmons he’ will challenge Jeffries for the championship.
