FITZ WON
In the. Sixth Round at Madison
Square.

Square.
NEW YORK. Aug. 11.-Bob Fltzsim.
mons won the fight last night with Gus
Rubin at the Madison Square Garden
by knocking his man out in the sixth
round. 1t was a hard fight from the
very start aud honors were even for
four rounds with Fitz the favorite at 10
toS.
Rubin started In to rush ID matters and
kept Fitz busy lodging bis terrible lefts
to the face but after the fourth the
matters changed and Fitz landed almost
at will with lefts to the face and body.
In the sixth he knocked Gus down with
solar plexus and when he got up after
taking the full count Fitz met him with
9 terrible right on the jaw that put i'm
to sleep and he hal to be carried to his
corner.
Fitz more than proved that he is
still one of the greatest fighters that
ever stepped into the ring and will be
matched to fight Jeffries before the
last of the month. The fight between
Jeffries and Rubin WAS d, clared off
after the fight last night as in the
agreement if Rubin lost the fight to
Fitz Jeffries could declare the fight
off.
Fitz al-o received challenges from
Kid Mccoy, Sharkey, and Corbett-
and one from Rubin to fight again be-
fore the first of September.
Fitz had no trouble whatever with
his arm that has been giving him so
much trouble in hie training. He won
the fight last night by better work and
many at the ring side thought that he
would again hold the cham pionship
after his battle with Jeffries. Rubin
was the younger mau and was 80 pounds
heavier than his sturdy opponent but
his sring-generalship was nothing to be |
compared with that of the ex-cham-
piop.
Fitz came out of the battle without |
a scratch although his face was some
what swollen from the terrible punches
that he received in the early rounds.

mons this morning read With interest

mont th the battls of San Juan by the
Pain fireworks campany which has
been represented before the busines

Mr.. Skiff stated that the price wan t.
ed by the Pain people was $4,000, and
to THE amount there would be added

promoters of the midwinter carnival.
Juarez has not yet succeeded in rails
ing the amount of money which is con-
sidered to be her just proportion OF the
expense for the carnival. The business
men Of Ell Paso have not been pleased

when the city across the river has
resped the benefits OF carnivals and
