Sporting News.

Jack Steiner was easy game for
Gus Rubin at Denver Monday
night.
The Akron heavy weight made
quick work of his antagonist, knock
> ing him down in the first round. He
continued his rushing tactics
through seven rounds, Steiner
being so weak by that time that the
fight was stopped.
A special from Denver says:
Gus Rubin defeated Jack Stelzner
tonight before the Olympic Athletic
club in the seventh round. Stelzner
though game, was clearly too weak
to last much longer, and Referee
Masterson's decision was applauded
by the crowd. Rubin gained a de-
cided advantage at the outset and
had his own way most of the time
afterwards, but at that could not
knock out Stelzner.
In the beginning Rubin omitted
the customary sparring and rushed
at Stelzner. knocking him down with
stiff left. Jack was up again in a
few seconds, and Rubin with an
other rush fioored him again. SteIz-
ner remained down eight seconds and
by clever ducking and lodging saved
himself further punishment, until
the bell.
After this the fight was one-sided.
Ruhlin did most of the leading,
though occasionally Stelzner would
rally with good punch.
After Ruhlin had foored Jack
twice in the seventh the fight was
stopped and the decision given to
Rubin. Stelzner was badly pun
ished.
