 FITz ALSO HAD PLENTY.
 Fitzsimmons left the building five minutes after he had struck the win ming blow. but it took Ruhlin twelve minutes to come around so he could walk to his dressing room. Fitzsim- mons was a little hit dag, q when he reached lis dressing room on the Fourth avenue side of the Garden and asked some of those gathered about him if it was not the fifteenth -Oumd in which the fight was finished. He soon recovered his reason ari then indulged in a hearty laugh. Well" he said, I'm an old fellow and a has-been. We'll. guess I'm good enough for MT. Ruhlin, and he was not So bad. either. That was as tough a battle as ever l went through, but I am still good for a few more. Ruhlin is a good one, and with a. little more experience he will about do. He hit me some corking wallops ana although I did not realize it at the time, can tell you he can punch a bit. I was tired. but the fur ther th7 bout went the more positive felt that I could finish him. Towards the close Ruhlin grew very weak and knew I had only to steady myself a little in order to act him. H. gave me a good fight and I can give him noth- ing but praise.
 Ruhlin, when h. reached his dressing room was in sort of a traDce. and it was a long time before he fully un- ders,ood that he had been def, ated. He was badly bruised about the head and both eyes w1re almost closed. He did not care to talk. but managed to say: "I did the best I could, and no man can do more. F'itZsimmons whipped me ana that's all I can say about it.
 Billy Madden. Ruhlin's manager, de- clared that Gus defeat was due to CVer-training.
 Jim Corbett. who acted as enc of Ruhlin's seconds, also declared that Ruhlin was over-trained.
