Yesterday was a great day amonst the

the result Of the fray, they began to
gather in the Capitol Square, beneath the
windows Of The Times building, almost
as soon as the sun had set.

cred, and when the sporting editor of The
Times announced through the megaphone
that the first round of the great fight be-
tween Bob FftzslmInons and Gus Rubin

grass plot, and the .encampment occupied
all Of the available space from the Wash

packed in Bank Street so that travel was
almost blocked for the while.
The majority OF the sports attended in

NEW YORK, August 1o.-Bob Fitzsim-
mons met Gus Rubin. the Akron Giant,
tonight before the Twentieth Century
Club at Madison Square Garden and won
by knocking the Ohioan down and out in
the sixth round
Before the fight and for some weeks past
there have been many reports to the effect
that F&tzsimmons was too old to cope sue
cessfully with his younger opponent. It
was argued that Fitzsrnmons' well-known
knowledge of the game and his capability
Of hard hitting would not be able to coun-
ter-balance the youth and strength, as
we'll as the recentiy-acquired ring tactics
of the Ohio man.
Tonight, however, all this has been
changed FItzsimmons did the trick clean
ly and cleverly. 1t was a fierce and bloody
battle while it lasted, and at times it looked
as if Ruhin would set the better OF the
older man, but Fitzsinlmons al the proper
time would cut loose with his fearful body
blow, which finally snuf1ed out the ONO
boxers light.
Fitzsimmons conceded about so pounds to
Rubin, and this I'm itself was a serious
handicap. But, as the result showed, Fftz-
Simmons was equal TO the task he had set
li.nself, and won out with that terrible
soiaN pieXus blow which, when it landed,

THE BETTING.
The betting tonight opened witt. r77tz-
simons the favorite at 500 to so. Ne-r
soon the odds We're cut and even money
was the rule.
There seemed to be plenty Of money on
each side, but the Rubin people kept put
ting it up and soon had the Akron Giant
a favorite at 800 to 500.
