at the Tulane Athletic club In a ten
round fight. John Duffy being the ref
cree.
Rubin was the taller and heavier
weighing about 100 pounds. Ryan tipped
the beam at 175 pounds.
Rubin at the outset was awkward
and Ryan, in point of cleverness, showed
considerable superiority. The Austria
Ian, realizing his advantage, fought fol
the body. and in the first eight rounds
landed with plenty Of force on the body
For a time this weakened Rubin. but
he gained courage and finally became
stronger and captured the day. His
blows in the last two rounds were hard,
and Ryan was groggy and could hardly
have stood the terrible rain Of blows a
round longer. Duffy admitted that Ryan
did the greater part of the leading. but

quarters and unquestionably outfought
the smaller man, and in the last two
rounds Ryan was practically beaten

CLEVER CHOYNSKI
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-After all
is said and done concerning last nights
fight in this city, Choynski fought against
odds and fought well. After this few
will dispute Jeffries' claim to be consid-
cred as possibility for the worlds
championship. He is a clever boxer, and
while little more than novice he fairly
puzzled man who, while young in years,
is a veteran at fisticuffs.
If any mistake was made in Choynskis
corner it was in not allowing Joe to go at
his big opponent from the start. JEFF
fries was decidedly ratified when he en-
tered the ring, and it was not until
several rounds had elapsed that he re-
gained his natural color and began to
shape with confidence. Possibly the
idea of going against such a celebrity as
Joe Choynski had this disturbing effect.
Once Jeffries did extend himself there
were no signs of white feather about
him.
Choynski covered himself with glory
and has never shown up to such advan-
tage. He is as clever and as quick as
ever and he fought the first calculating
battle he has ever been mixed up in.
Contrary to his general tactics, he
was not reckless for minute, and every
round showed that he was feeling his
mans powers like past master A no.
