Philadelphia, November 5.-Jos
! Choynski narrowly escaped being put
to sleep several times tonight at the
Arena Athletic Club before the savage
onslaught of Gus Rubin. of Akron,
Ohio. Each time he was apparently
saved by the bell The bout was lin
| tied &c six rounds and was one Of the
/ fastest seen here in long time Rub
! lin lowered high over Joe's head and
there was a difference of between "a
and so pounds in favor of the Akron
! fighter. He forced the fighting from
beginning to end, Choynski sprinting
repeatedly around the ring in efforts
to get out of his way. Towards the
close Of the first round Joe steadied
himself for the first and only time and
landed several hard rights and lefts
on Ruhlin'S face. One Of these blows
broke Choynski's right forefnger. In
the early part of the second round
Choynski fell through the ropes and
landed on his head while evading Rub
lin. The Ohio man forced Joe all about
the ring for the next three rounds and
| Choynski was shaky at the termination
of each. falling down several times to
evade Ruhlins rushes. Rubin fouled
q number of times in the clinches, but
it was apparently due to the heat OF
the encounter Both men, eased up IN
the final round, which was uneventful.
The officials of the B. A. C. have
secured Red" Conley for one of the
preliminary bouts, and would like to
match him against Jersey" Gordon,
who bested Kelly before the M. A. G.
recently. If Gordon will go on with
Conley, he is requested to call at
| Murphy's place not later than Monday
morning.

! last night from Leslie Pearce, who
went to Pittsburg to arrange a match
| between Jack" Kinlow and Eddie

meet Gardner ever since he was bested
by him in Bridgeport, and he expert
enced no difficulty in inducing him to
sign articles of agreement for battle
