HARD WORKER.
Gus Ruhlin's manner of training for
his fight with FitZsimmons Aug. 10.
shows that the Akron Giant Is one of
the hardest workers In the fighting
game. and that he fully realizes that
to defeat FitzsImmons he will have to
he In the best possible condition. From
early morning until late in the after
noon Rubin keeps plugging away at
the various exercises which he has Sc
lccted to get him into shape, and he
never seems quite satisfied that he
has accomplished all that he should
have done. Billy Madden, his manager,
is, however, more than pleased with
the way his man is working, and says
that when he meets Fitzs,mmons, he
will show the public just how quickly
II good man can win Il fight.
Rubin tumblcs out of bed at 6 o.
clock every morning and takes run to
the beach, where he takes his daily
plunge In the ocean After n swim of
nearly an hour, he goes back to Mad
denis home for breakfast. After n
rest he takes II five or ten-mile run over
the roads around Bath Beach and then
gets rundown and starts up his
gymnasium work. Then comes his
spnrring bouts with Charley Goff,
which are as interesting TO watch as II
genuine fight Rubin and Golf mix
things In very earnest manner and
the Akron man has II chance to show
all the cleverness which he learned
from Corbett. The confidence with
which Ruhlin looks forward to his
meeting with the Cornishman shows
that he has no thought of being bcnten.
He says he whipped II better man than
l'it2simmons when he Knocked out
