FAILS TO GET HERMIS.
Eugene Leigh Gives Up At
tempt to Buy Great Horse. Lexington, Ky., Dec. 30. Efforts to secure the services of the noted race horse Hermis for his breeding stud in France have been made by H. Eugene Leigh, who recently made an offer to Henry M. Zeigler to lease the horse for two years, with the privilege of buying him at the end of that time for $15,000. After a conference with Trainer Charles Hughes today Zeigler refused Leigh's offer by cable and said that a price of $25,000 had been placed on the horse, and that the leasing clause would not be considered. Zeigler is anxious to retain Hermis in the stud, he having purchased him out of the E. R. Thomas sale for that purpose.

" ' "In the ring there are six boys now who are in the running for the title Freddie Welsh, Young Otto, Tommy Murphy, Leach Cross, Cyclone Thompson and Packey McFarland. I think they should be paired off somehow or other and the winners meet one another until thS thing is thrashed out "Let McFarland meet Welsh, then Murphy fight Cross, and Thompson take on Otto. That ought to let the public know who the best man is, and then if Joe Gans is still willing to fight and can get any of them to fight, he is entitled to it."

New York, Dec. 31.; Gus Ruhlin, who once held Jim Jeffries to a twentyround draw and later was knocked out by Jeff in 'six rounds, is out with a statement that Jack Johnson can whip Jeffries as the latter is today. "Jeff has been out of the game too long and wouUi surely fall a victim to the prowess of the negro," says Ruhlin. "The retired champion is well fixed and woulO be foolish to go back and take a beating even for the big purse he no doubt would demand. "As- for Sharkey's f.ghting Johnson It is to laugh. The sailor is four-flushing. If he really wants to fight I'll take .him on gladly. I whipped him twice and can do it again." - Ruhlin added that he did not know of anyone who had a chance to beat the negro.
