Rublin practically quit fighting in the third round. The crowd, disappointed, hissed him. No one was more surprised than the winner, who expected a hard fight. Rublin says he was fouled, but ! is alone in this as- sertion. Ten thousand sporting men saw the bout. Joffries assumed the aggressive in the first round and bis ter- ritie blows soon took the tight out of his giant opponent. In the (titth round Ruhlin’s second threw up the sponge. ‘Tom Sharkey, who reviews the fight exclusively for The Even ing World, leaves for 'Friseo Monday night to prepare for his second battle with the champion. It will be fought the last week in December. SHARKEY REVIEWS FIGHT FOR EVENING WORLD. BY TOM SHARKEY. Instead of 4 to Lon Jeffries the odds should have been 20 to 1. I am not surprised at the way the fight ended. I am on record as aving it would last from three to ten rounds, deff says he is sur- prised that Ruhlin didn’t try harder. T don’t think he is as much surprised as he says he is. Ruhlin is a nice fellow personally and [like bim. T have abso- lntely no prejudice against him, although it is well known that I have no use for his manager, Madden. T say it in a friendly spirit, but Gus is not the fighter he is cracked up to be. Class is what counts in men and animals, Gus hasn't got it. I won't say he has « yellow streak, but he is not over anxious to take punishment. He took a terrible beating from Fitzsimmons, but he was willing to quit. Madden had to keep him at it by telling him that the old fellow would blow up after a few herd rounds. Ruhlin imng on in the hope that the old fellow would blow up. I see Gus in making his excuses says that he was hit the blow in the stomach that fixed him in the second round. Now, that was the only round in the fight that was considered to be any way in LRtuhlin’s favor. What took the nerve out of Gus was the way that left of Jeff's came sailing along to his jaw whenever Jeff started it. He couldn't stop Jeff's left, and when he realized it he knew it was all over but the knockout. Judging from the reports of the fight, there are middle-weights who ean whip Rublin, ‘Tommy West ean whip him, T honestly be- lieve. He didn’t even make Jeff extend himself. The blows he landed, while they probably hurt, had not power enougir to cause the big fellow any great discomfort. Ruhlin would be a better man if he had the sand that ought to zo with his size. He is what I would calla light fighter. He doesn’t know much about the game, and how anybody with knowiedge ever got an idea that he could whip Jeffries is more than Tecan see. Rublin couldn't knock me out. He kept butting mo around the ring with his body, using his superior weight against me, and he couldn’t put me out. I mention this for one reason. After the fight I notice that Ruhlin, in giving an aecount of of the lows be ite re has those who rat Nety from. the ring side, SURE OF VICTORY.
