Both men cau Jeft tapped Gus lightly “NOT WARMED UP YET’—SHARKEY. They haven't got the fight feellng on them yet. I don't bellove Gus has got much of {t anyhow, but it always takes Jeff a lttle while to get warmed up to his work. The fact that Gus leads first don’t signify that he is going to do all the leading. Jeff Is going to-let him show what he MAG to do. It looks as though Jeff went {nto the clinch. His two leads to Gus's head indicate to me that he Is going to feel his way to Gus's Jaw as soon as possible. The left uppercut shows that he knows the way all right. I guesa Joff didn’t rush very hard when Gus came to aclinch. No won- der he {s smiling. If he felt any doubt, it 1s probably over with now. Gus has not been able to get Jeff to stand up. Jeff {s fighting In his old crouch- ing position. He fs using that left swing and half left uppercut. When he RUHLIN LANDS A CLEAN LEFT LEAD ON JEFFRIES'S JAW. puts his old straight right jab {nto commission he {s going to cause some trouble with Gus's body.

The men Were wrestling when round closed, This was Rwhlin’s round “RUHLIN WANTS TO QUIT NOW."—SHARKEY. jus wants to quit. That protest is a bad sign when Ruhlin makes it. The rey vs {t is his round, but I can't see {t myself. His saying that Jo is fighting foul shows that ho has got a punch that hurt him. He cer- tainly can't pretest against the blow described, that hook around the neck | with the left. That is Jeff's knockout punch !n combination with the straight right jab to the body. So Jeff is getting aggressive. T guess ‘he felt that right smash In the ribs. Gus can hit all right when he gets a good start and lands. He ts warming Jeff up. | Gus plants right and left on the face, rushes and lands on the body. ‘That sounds as though he was warming up himself. He seems to be land- ing several good ones. That right feint and left punch on Jeff's nose is liablo to make Jeff mad. As often as he Is reaching Jeff it don’t seem to me that he {fs hurting him. All of those blows ought to be counting for something !f there Is any steam back of them. The fact that he {s landing don't prove that it !s to his advantage. It ts the blow that staggers that counts, and T don’t see any record of his having staggered Jeff yet. THIRD ROUND. The men came up strong and Ruhiin shot in with right and left, which were stopped. Jeff elbowed his way back and finally caught the Akron man with a terrific left to the neck. Jeff pursued Gus and wwung with both hands. In a rush Jeff landed weak body blows, Ruhiin appealed to the referee. Gus fointed and Jef easily held the advantage, with Gus constantly complaining. The men closed In several times, Rublin fighting low and Jeff apparently looking for a chance to land a knockout punch, Jeff retreated about tho ring until the spectators hissed him. ‘The round ended with neither man in distress, but with Ruhlin the more worrled of the two. ‘IT’S ALL UP WITH RUHLIN.” -SHARKEY. It's ell up with Gus, A matter of one or two more rounds will settle him. I'll bet he would like to Ue right down on the ropes this minute. That constant complaining proves to me that he has got all he wants, Hollering foul all the time {s a bad sign. {f there was foullng the referee would see it, or the crowd would. It’s too bad, That left to the neck is descrined as “terrific,” I see. Jeff came around with that hook and he tried to put Gus out. If he had landed right the fight would have ended right there. Landed “weak body blows,” eh? Well, I notice that if they wero weak Gus keeps kicking about them. It looks to me like Jeff was doing all the fighting now. Gus seems to be on the defen- sive since he led and was blocked at the beginning of the round. T can’t quite make out what Jeff means by getting out of the way until the crowd hisses, I guess he {s trying to draw Gus on to where he can hand him one of those left smashes on the jaw, He knows he has his man safe and is taking no chances of chance blows. Jeff knows as well as I do that when Ruhlin Is complaining he wants to quit. It ought to end in the next round {f Jeff wades into him. FOURTH ROUND, After a short exchango at close range Ruhlin landed on face. He was forced back and Jeff emiled ag Rublin agaly rebuked him. Jeft-landed left and got Gua's lett, then pursued him, Sabting at short range and plainly wearing his i 5 nt 804 SOWSEHSE DEG FLOGOSOIHE LSE 4-6-2 L34-PDF-H5 9DFH9OO140-6500060. HARKEY WAITED ANXIOUSLY FOR NEWS OF FIGHT AND REVIEWED IT FOR THE EVENING WORLD. No man in New York awaited the result of the Jeffries-Ruhlin fight with more Interest than Tom Sharkey. The big, good-natured fellow, who {s to be the champton’s next opponent, came down from his Fourteenth street cafe to The Evening World office long before the time stated for the bout In 'Frisco to begin, e Accompanied by Nick Elliott, Dan O’Rourke and Jim Buckley, well-known sporting men, he arrived at the office at 12.05 o'clock, more than half an hour before Ruhlin and Jeffries were in the ring. As soon as the telegraph instrument began telling of the progress of tho battle hoe watched for every word jotted down by the operator, and then commented on every blow struck and attempted. His own story of the fight, as printed exclusively in The Evening World, is all the more Interesting novwr since he {s to be the next man to.endeavor to wrest the title from Jeffries. So Jubilant was the Sailor over Jeffries’s success that he remained in The Evening World office for fully an hour after the finish of the fight and told what he expected to do. It was after 2 o’clock when ‘he started for his home.

Ruhlin ducked and retreated steadily. Jeff followed the advantage and bored in, touching Ruhlin beneath chin with right and forcing him to the ropes, after which Gus went to the floor and at the count of fiv ered to his feet. He ceased fighting and Jeff went fn for a knockout. Rublin was utterly dazed and missed wild swings, while Jeff vhrew. him agninst the ropes and hit him with right and left. Runiin was almast aut when his seconds threw up the epon “HE WANTED THE FIN AL PUNCH."—SHARKEY. Oh! it's cruel to do It. Gus wishes he was home in bed. It’s funny Jeff didn’t finish him the firet time he hit him. Gus Is getting out of the way. I'll bet he has his eye on Madden and that the eyo has that faraway lools in It. Gus to the floor, #1? TI don’t think he'll get up. Up he ts, though, at the count of five. He wanted to stay there. His hands are down and he is walting for the punch that he knows will settle it. It’s all over. ; Joff is evidently as strong as an ox. It don’t look as though he tas’ been hurt at all. For tho last three rounds ke hasn't been touched to amount to anything. He could probably throw Gus out of the ring [f he wanted to, Gus has been whipped all along. He could have fought this round ont, I think, i? Jeff didn’t put him out in o straight exchange of blows.

Ruhlin shot out Ineffectual lefts, Jef waded in, whaling Gus left and right, Gus went down and took the count. He came up apparently weak and the gong saved him. Ruhlin was plainly in the greatest distresy when the round closed. I see Jeff Is landing on the Jaw with the left. It {s all over with Gus. . So he's down and they're counting him out, He couldn't get out of the way of that left. Gong saved him, eh! Well, it didn’t save him for long. About the first wallop In the next round wil: settle Gus, As it looks to me, Gus {s fighting the same as he always fought, and so is Jeff. Gus 1s big and strong, but he is up against the wrong man when ho tries any of his strong tactics on Jeff. Ho has had plenty of experience, but ho don’t seem to have made much by it. That old left of Jeff's appears to have landed pretty nearly every Ume ft started. I can't seo where all this talk of Ruhlin’s improvement comes {n. He's been studying Jeff's style for years and now he shows that he don’t know bow to get out of the way of the only blows that Jeff has ever used. “THE KNOCKOUT IS COMING.”—SHARKEY, And Gus Is still kicking. I think Jeff could havo put h!m out with that first left swing if it had landed. He ts golng after a knockout all the time with that left and that straight to the body. It shows that Gus fs unable to stop It. Gus is taking some punishment. I didn’t think he had it in him to stand for being run around the ring twice when he kuew he was whipped, FIFTH ROUND. Ruhlin wore a distressed expression when he came up. Jefe went In with atraight-arm blows, but was blo@&ked, Jeff landed right hook to jaw add short] to’ put nee appearance.
