RUHLIN DEFEATS GODDARD.

New York. March S.--Gus Rubin Of
Akron. o.. defeated Joe Goddard tie
barrier champion. in the fifth round OF
what was TO have been a 20-round bout
last night before the Lenox Athletic
club. Both men stripped in excellent
condition. but Rubin had the call i'm the
betting. This was certainly justified by
his appearance. and from the outset he
held his opponent cheaply. He evident
ly saw that Joe could not offset his
rushes. and from the very beginning
forced the fighting. The barrier cham
pion' went down frequently with good
cause, but towards the close of the con-
test he dropped without cause and was
deservedly disqualified.

Effected so Far In Spite Of Much Talk.

There is at present great deal of
talk in relation to the formation Of
combinations in the manufacture of
wooens and worsteds, but the only one

Falls, n. Y, with total of 800 looms
the Riverside mills at Olneyville, with

at Fitchburg. Mass. with AS looms:
the Chase mills at Uxbridge and Web
ster, Mass. with l44 looms. and the
Nassalboro mills at Vassalboro, Me.
with 120 looms.
This gives so far 800 looms I'm the
combination There are nearly $4,000
looms In the country, but not more than
25,OOO of this number are engaged in the
manufacture of the goods produced i'm

Boston. March S.-Ernest Roeber, the
Greco Roman wrestling champion, de-
feated the Terrible Turk for the
worlds championship at that style last
night in Music hall. winning the only
pout which, under the conditions inter-
Vening. was also the match. The Turk
was a giant in stature as compared with
Roeber. and In skill was his opponents
equal, apparently. The match ended
somewhat abruptly. Roeber had re-
peatedly tried to throw the Turk by
means OF head or neck hold. while the
latter was on all fours. He failed each
time TO move the Turk, and as rule
relinquished the hold and returned TO
the centre of the mat. After 29lh min
utcs. Roeber had the Turk once again on
all fours. the latter with his body
arched, and with his face close to the
mat. BY "a quick movement, Roeber
weakened the extended left arm of the
Turk, and bringing IL quickly to the
rear, started back hammer lock.
Slowly the arm went back i'm the danger
Gus position. and the Turks manager
acknowledged the defeat i'm the fall
for his man. Roeber. however, re-
fused 10 accept the fall, and retained
the lock, as was his privilege. To
save his arm from being broken. the
Turks manager gave up the match.
