Other Sporting News.

New Orleans, La, Dec. Sat the Tu-
lane Athletic Club last night Tut" X yam,
Of Australia, was defeated by Gus RuhliIi,
the big hea ywcight, of Axiom, Ohio, in q
ten-round fight
Both men were in splendid condit iun.
Rubin was the taller and heavier of me
two, weighing 100 pounds, while Ryan
weighed 175.
Ryan, wnu was the better sparrer, ,real aliZing
his disadvantage In weight and hei siit,
fought for the body in the first eight
rounds, landing frequently with plenty II
force. For time this weakened Ruh,in,
who was awkward at the outset. He
gained courage rs the fight progre.sed
however, and finally became stronger.
HIS b.ows in the last two rounds were
hard, and Ryan was groggy ana could
hardly have stood the terrible strain Il
round longer.
On every SIDE Ryan was given praise for
his game ness ana brilliancy, While Ruhliu
was simply looked upon as a heavy
weight with little ciiarice of ever becoming
a champion.
Referee Duffy admitted that Ryan did
the greater part Of the leading, but claims
Rubin CO untercd him at close positions.
uDquesiionably outfousht the smaller man,
and in the hast TWO rounds Ryan was prac-
ically beaten man. His opponent was
deserving of the decision. Rubin and
Maher will now be matched.

was beaten by The score OF 500 to 266.
Yesterday Ives and Sutton played, the .or-
mer winning by the score of 500 to liO
Ives performance was the most br HINT
OF the tournament. He broke the long run
record with 40 points, Just the number
Sutton got during the whole game. Besi.ies
tins. he made a perfect score. or, in other
words. counted in every one of his innings
His average, 81 I-l6, was also the greatest
ever made for tie style of game.
Gains, the manager of Tod Sloane, the
American iocky, says thereis no truth in the
statement made by the st. James Gazette
that Sloane has Contracted to ride for the
Prince OF Wales and Mr. Pierre LorIlard
The manager said: Sloane has not re-
ceived an offer from the Prince of Wales,
nor has he even met the Prince. HehighIy
appreciated the compliment the Prince of
Wales pad him in allowing him to ride one
ofh!si,orses, which was an unusual one, con.
sidering that he was an unknown American
when he Came to England without backing.
1t is not probable that Sloane Will ride in
England In S9S owing to his American en-
