Gus Rubin, the Akron giant, and
Billy Otis arrived in the city last night
| from San Francisco. says the Denver
| News. Billy Madden. Ruhlin's man
| ager, will be on here next Sunday,
remaining in San Francisco till after
the goth. George Lawler of Chica go,
against whom Rubin is to go, will ar
| rive in the city to-day over the Union
Pacific and the men will sign articles
| Monday for 20-round bout before the
Olympic Athletic club on July 81. Ruth
lin looks in splendid condition. weighing
| at the present time about 1876, and wi
| enter the ring at 1870 pounds. Asked rs
| to his condition and his trip to the
| coast Rubin said:
Il am in splendid shape now, ready
10 enter the ring a any time and only
need to do light work to keep myself in
| condition for my meeting with Lawler.
| Physically my trip to the coast has
| done me good, but | was robbed out of
| the fight with Kennedy, which l won
| as fairly as a man ever won any fight
and naturally l feel pretty sore to-
wards San Francisco
| AS a preliminary to the match the
| club will put on McKenna's unknown
| and someone here whom Mckenna calls
| Gallasher's unknown. Gallagher says
| McKenna's man will think he has been
/ a
| 10 rounds are ended. The Ruhlin-Law-
| Ter fight will be the first heavyweight
| battle to be held in Denver under the
new law and promises to arouse good
deal of interest.
That Denver is a good town for the
fighters is shown by the receipts at the
| Dixon White match before the Olympic
! club. Dxons share of the receipts was
| $1.476.75, a larger sum than he received
| for many a fight in cities double ana
| treble the size of Denver In fact 1t can
be stated that Dixon has fought in New
| York when the winners share of the re-
| ceipts was less than this amount.
| Ernes victory over Lavigne netted
him nearly $1,000, the largest purse re-
| ceived by a lightweight in recent years.
| And speaking of his victory, 1t is in
| teresting to note how 1t has started the
opponents of jabbing to talking. and
one might believe if he did not know
better, that all of the battles ever
fought were won with left-hand jabs.
Erne won his that way, so did Jeffries,
| while Corbett became champion in the
same style. Mccoy also jabbed Cree
| don to death, but on the other hand,
| how did FtzsimmonS and Lavigne be-
come champions? Sipmly by wading in
and waloping, just as Terry Meow
ern is doing with the boys of his
xl.t \ 10, ltaa, has
been doing the past three years. FitZ-
! simmons beat Corbett by punching,
after receiving a jabbng that would
| make many man quit, and Sharkey
disposed of Mccoy by wading in and
trying with both hands, after the Hoo
sier made a monkey of him for three
rounds.
| According to a telegram received from
! San Francisco, Peter Jackson has been
engaged to train Tom Sharkey for his
battle with James j. Jeffres for the
| heavyweight championship of the world
| scheduled to take place in October.
The action of the sailor pugilist in en-
| ploying Jackson to coach him shows
| that Sharkey means to leave no stone
unturned in order to be in the best pos
sible condition when he faces the new
champion. Sharkey shows good judg-
| ment in securing the services of Jack
who ever put on a glove. There is not
trick in the game with which the for
mer great colored fighter is not ia
miliar, and he should cause quite
healthy improvement in the able sea-
mans style of sparring. In engaging
Jackson Sharkey probably took his cue
! from Jeffries, who employed Tommy
Ryan with profit while training for his
fight with Fitzsimmons.
International championship boxing
| contests between noted American and
English pugilists will be given at
Coney Island during the fall and win
ter months. Preliminary arrangements
for these bouts have already been
made. In a letter to ALEX" Brown,
manager of the Coney Island Sporting
club, William A. Brady of the directors
of the seashore organizatio who is
now in England writes that he Fas
signed contracts with the leading pugi-
lists in Great Britain for contests in
| this country.
Among the men whom Brady has
signed are Ben Jordan, featherweight
champion of England; Owen Sweeney
| lightweight champion of Ireland: Dick
Burge, welterweight champion of Eng
land, and Bobby Dobbs, colore1
American lightweight, who has been
! beating the best in his class in Great
| Britain.
| Jordan, who was in this country a
| year ago, made an enviable record, de-
! feating among others George Dixon
| The clever little colored champion says
! he was not himself on that occasion
| and thinks that he can turn the ia bes
| on the Englishman if they meet again.
| Dixon will probably be Jordan's first
opponent when the Britisher arrives
| here.
| Dobbs, who halls from Minneapolis,
is slated for contest with Frank Erne,
the new lightweight champion of Amer
lea. Dobbs' record certainly entities
him to consideration from the Buffalo
| man. The Westerner has defeated
many clever men abroad, among them
! being Dick Burge. DObhs fought
Burge at the lightweight limit. Swee-
ney is said to be clever two-handed
fighter and is credited with many vic
tories in Ireland and England.
Sporting writer's all over the country
| are now talking about what good fei-
