Is a surprise to me that big and strong
as Jeffries is he has not developed a
more effective Knockout blow. He
hasn't got it-that's sure.
"a man must be weak and going
before Jeffries can put him OUT
HERE'S RUHLIN.
"How about Gus Ruhlinf"
He's another giant. But his style
is vastly different from that of jeff
rles. Rubin. who a year ago was
termed cart horse, improved won
derfully under COrbetts tuition.
He learned tact, judgment, dis
tance. when and how to deliver blow.
He can hit oftener than Jeffries. When
he strikes his fist lands on the place
his mind has decided upon. There
seems to be perfect harmony between
mind and muscles. That is one of the
strongest points of attack He proved
this in the first round of his contest
with me at Madison Square Garden.
There can be no question of Ruhlin's
ganeness. He is as quick on his feet
and with his hands as any big boxer.
In fact, little quicker.
Things cannot come to fast for Ruiz
lin, as long as his strength holds out.
HE seems to like mix, but at the
same time uses good judgment It's
not simply saving and hit while you
can with Gus He measures every
| blow he sends out
| This big fellows best blow is the
one with which lie moved down Shar-
key--a left jab.
Ever since Corbett taught him to
stick out his left that 'jab' has be-
come an important factor in the pugi-
list world.
"To offset this long list OF virtues
Rubin has many faults: The most i'm
portant, and the ones which have so
far barred his way to higher pugilistic
honors are:
"A weak defense.
'An only fair right.
"a tendency to go up in the air un-
less held with Il tight rein.
"There are the two men weighed in
| the scales of experience.
i've tried to be fair to both men
they're both my friends--and I'm GO
ing to wind up by saying just one
thing and then leave you to draw your
own conclusions:
my experience has taught me that
the winner of fight Is the man with
the punch.
"a scientist may have 80 per cent
the better of the argument, but in the
end the punch tells the tale.
WHAT THEY FOUND.
Gustavus Rubin and William Mad
den hung up their stockings side by
side on Monday night, says the New
York Telegraph. Madden found q
complete volume explaining how and
when championships are won or can
he claimed. Rubin found little conso-
lation in the message from SAINTS
Claus which briefly stated that he
would have to make a better show
ing against Jeffries than he did against
Maher If he ever hoped to be the
heavyweight champion.
= TOUCHING RUHL1N.
James Jeffries takes long chances
with his title in. boxing twenty rounds
with Rubin. 1t should be a closely
contested bout, and the Akron maj
can make just as many, If not n few
more, points than the champion.
Jeffries, Sharkey and Rubin ar,
, not increasing their own reputation,
by throwing mud at Corbett and Nc
Coy.
, Madden. who some months ag,
made an unsuccessful attempt to con
vince the public that Rubin wa
champion, Is now talking about tn,
scissors punch he has taught his man
Madden should use the scissors to GU
out some Of his absurd talk.-Easteri
Exchanges.
