Ruhlin winced and stumbled to the floor, but he man- aged to get up inside the limit. Jeffries stood off and let Ruhlin make one or two weak attempts to reach his vulnerable spot with the left and then Jeff sent in another hard right to the body. At the close of the round Ruhlin went to his cor- rer very groggy and then Madden threw up the sponge. I walked over to Madden and asked him why he had thrown up the sponge, and he said: “Harry, there’s no use letting him stand up there and take all that punching for nothing. He can’t win."” As far as Madden's statement about | Rhulin not having a chance is concerned, e REFEREE CORBETT SAYS RUHLIN WAS OUTCLASSED EFEREE HARRY CORBETT after the fight said: “Ruhlin is not in Jeffries’ class. At least he did not show himself to be in to-night’s battle. Gus was clearly outclassed from the start, and had not Madden thrown up the sponge Ruhlin could have lasted scarcely another round. He wasall but gone, but at that Madden should have allowed the bout to go to a knockout. While I do not think, that Ruhlin had one chance in a million to land even an accidental punch that would have turned the tide of battle in his favor, there are many sporting men who be- - P CORBETT SAYS PUBLIC WOULD BE BETTER SATISFIED IF MADDEN HAD NOT STRUCK COLO * 4t | —F |+ RS. P sides and the spectators included, the management of the California League have hit upon James J. Jeffries as the man to fill the long felt want. The cham- pion was last night chosen to umpire the game between Los Angeles and land next Sunday at Recreation Park. Jeffries is fully capable of fulfilling these arduous duties, having played ball since boyhood. There is no danger that his decisions will be doubted by the players. Jeffries will be too big for the ball tossers to at- tack unless they use a bat. Instead of fining them for giving “back sass,” Jim may show the spectators his method of beating champlon aspirants and unruly ball players. @ i CONGREGATION TENDERS PASTOR A RECEPTION Rev. J.

They waited paiently all the aay, and as the hours passed they were rein- forced by hundreds of others, until a line wound itself around the Pavilion until it met at the entrance. The small boy reaped a harvest by dis- posing of his place in line to late comers. The ticket scalper sold tickets at a pre- mium that atided to his bank account. So eager were men to see the champlonship battle that they were willing and did give double the price on the face of the ticket. Before the doors were thrown open the house had practically been sold out. It was then that the soeculator came for- ward and lured shekels by his enticing pasteboards. Crowds Grow Impatient. Owing to a misunderstanding the doors were not opened until 7:15 o'clock. The crowds became impatient at the delay and gave a welcome shout when they began t0 move toward their goal. Then there was a hurrying and scurrying, pushing and shoving that madc an animated pic- ture. The building echoed with the shouts of the crowd and the cries of the ushers and the ever-present peanut butcher. It was noticed that the house was filled with strangers. They came from every portion of California, from nearby States and from the distant KFast. All were anxious to witness the championship con- test and they will return home with a morsel of conversation'that will last them many a day. The light-fingered gentry plied their ne- farious calling and gathered enough val- uables to start a small-sized jewelry store. The more bolder thief, anxious to view the contest without depleting his purse, snatched pasteboards and escaped in the erowd. The unfortunates were taught a lesson, took their loss philosophically, and bought other tickets. The Pavilion filled up very rapidly. An announcement had been made that the champion and the aspirant for champion- ship laurels would appear in the ring promptly at 9:15 o’clock. This promise was | kept and the public was satisfied. The | preliminary battles were interesting and pied the attention of the spectators uring the interim. Jeftries arrived at tae Pavillon shortly after 8 o'clock and went to his dressing- room on the second flocr. He was accom- panied by his trainer, Billy Delaney; his sparring partners, Jack Jeffries and Bob Armstrong, and intimate friends. The big fellow was in high spirits and displayed none of the nervousness one would ex- pect a champion to show on the eve of a battle. He laughed and joked and gave every irdication that he was full of confl- How different was it in Ruhlin's g-room.

He rested up to the hour of going 1nto the ring. Jeffries Warmly Received. ‘When the preliminary contests were concluded workmen spread a nice new canvas over the ring. Its whiteness was reflected in the powerful light given by eighty arc lamps suspended from an as- bestos canopy over the ring. The lght | was dazzling at first, but the people close |to the ring became accustomed to it. | Jeffries was first to put in an appearance. As the champion’s form was discerned in the semi-darkness a mighty cheer rent | the ai: He was clad in a red sweater, and his powerful jaws munched a hunk of | sum. He was greeted on every side and | he responded to the well wishes with | smiles, happy replies and nods. In_ his wake’ came his trainer, the ever faithful Delaney, and his seconds. Within a few minutes’ Ruhlin followed and received a hearty reception. The aspirant’s features wore a half smile, but he seemed to be imbued with a feeling that he had a har contract on hand and he had careworn lines on his face. The moment the men were in the ring there was a craning of necks. Men in the anxiety to get a better view of the ring pressed forward and were in danger of meeting with an aecident. In the gal- lery they pressed against a balustrade, but were dislodged from their dangerous position by the police. There were cries of “sit down” mingled with derisive yells. Pandemonium reigned until the gong sent the men to their work. Then a silence stole over the building that contrasted strangely with the noise of a minute be- fore. It was an expectant hush and was broken from time to time by the shouts of approval given for either contestant Before the battle Harry Corbett was pre- sented with a miniature bear by the mem- bers of the Bakersfleld Bear Club in ap- preciation of Corbett's prowess as a hunter. During the progress of the battle Billy Madden’s face was a study. The heavy blows Jeffries landed on Ruhlin seemed to give Madden greater pain than his pro- tege. There was suffcring in his face and nervousness in his demeanor. Many watched the manager throughout the bat- tle and pitied him every time he winced. Eddie Miller, a lame boy, who has al- ways acted as mascot to Jeffries when he fought in this city, was present last night. The boy was in his element, and waas proud that he brought luck to the cham- plon. Eager to Pose. At the close of the battle youths anx- jous to have their faces appear in the moving pictures jumped into the ring and performed for posterity’s benefit. Some jealous individual seated close to the pho- tographing apparatus tried to foil them by placing his hat over the camera. When this was discoveredl by the operators the mischievous person was given a beating. [he crowd quickly dispersed. As soon as the Pavilion was cleared the lghts were extinguished and the telegraph op- erators, anxious to send the news of the battle to other cities, Ucked off their news with the ald of candles. There was gloom in Ruhlin’s dressing- room after the contest. Every one felt sad. Friends tried to enliven the defeat- ed man, but their words of cheer had lit- tle effect. A scene of rejoicing was pre- sented in the victor’s dressing-room. Jef- fries was like a schoolboy. He was show- ered with congratulations, but had pres- ence of mind to tell his trainers to look after his costume, as certain people might carry the garments off as souvenirs, “Syndicate” Bob Armstrong wore a smile as large as a slice out of a piece of water- melon. Delaney was contented, and the others were alike happy. .'!+PPPH‘FP+H~H+H—H—I-H—+. Acquitted on Murder Charge. J.

When the two men faced each other it could be seen that { Ruhlin was uncertain and fld%ely and a trifile timid. He might have been using | careful tactics, but he looked to me like a man who felt a bit frightened. In the first two rounds Ruhlin did some fairly | good fighting. He backed away from Jeff repeatedly, but when the champion bored in on him Ruhlin met him once or twice with hard joits in the body. In the sec- ond round Ruhlin smashed Jeffries in the mouth and drew blood. Jeffries became riled and returned the compliment with a succession of jolts in the stomach. Once in the third round Jeffries sent Rublin up against the ropes with a streight left in the eye, and followed it with a smash in the stomach. Ruhlin backed further up against the ropes and murmured something about the blow be- ing foul, but [ had my eve on both punches, and the lasi blow was well aboye the stomachy Ruhlin complained’ several times abodt Jeffries boring in |- after the breakaway, but this to my mind was perfectly fair. If Jeffries did not eee | fit to step back after a breakaway, in which he made no attempt to hit Gus, he had as much right to do it as Ruhlin had to break ground. Taking everything into consideration, both men fought a good, clean battle, in which nobody figured as a winner but James J. Jeffries, champion heavy-weight a chopping-block for the other. Ruhlin, of course, was weak and in distress, but at the same time he was able to protect himself fairly well. Jeffries was timing his blows too well for the bout to have developed into an inhuman affair. I think it was only a question of about twenty or thirty seconds of the sixth round when Jeff would have polished Ruhlin off with a well-directed sleep-producer, and then the thousands who paid their good money to see the championship battle would have left the big pavilion feeling no disappointment. The almost imperceptible jar of Jeff’s punches told on Ruhlin. I could see the effect of Jeff's punches better than those who sat away from the ringside. When Ruhlin went down for the count in the second round I thought then that a few more seconds of the round would end the bout. Ruhlin complained several times about Jeffries pressing him in the breakaways, but Jeff had a perfect right to bore in as long as Ruhlin broke ground. If Ruhlin objected to Jeffries’ methods in this respect he should have held his ground. They broke clean at my orders, and I have absolutely no comnlaint to make about the actions of either-man as far =5 putting up a fair battle is concerned.” A pugilist of the world. —_———————— Heavy-Weights Fight a Draw.
