CORBETT'S DEMONSTRATIONS.
A peculiarly about the fight between
Gus Rubin and Fitzsinnons sched-
uled for Friday at the garden, Is one
interest 1t has created among other
fighters, as well as the public gener-
ally. This professional attention Is
by far greater than that given any bat
tie between big fellows in years.
AS result Of the battle Jim Cor
bett probably has most to say, but his
opinion can be based on facts. He
has fought Bob Fitzsimmons. knows
his every caper in the ring, his every
hook, punch, swing and jab. He has
worked with Rubin, and consequently
knows what the Akron giant is capa-
bic of. After studying the abilities
of both fighters and making necessary
deductions he has selected Rubin as
the winner, and claims that the giant
will give Fizsimmons his quietus in
less than ten rounds.
Corbett visited Rubin at his training
quarters Mt Bath Beach last week, and
after looking ut him go through his
work his belief in his chances of, win
ming was substantiated.
Knowing that Rubin is an apt
scholar, he ventured to show him a
few new things Of the game. Strip
ping to that which gave him comfort
and chance to display his noted ac-
tivity, the ex-champion put on pair
of eight ounce gloves and began to
show Rubin the dangerous blows
"Fitz" possesses. He did not box
with Kuhlin, but, asking the big AS
pirant for high pugilistic honors to
stand aside and watch his every move,
he set to work to show his points on
the anatomy Of Charley Goff, Ruhlin's
second.
Squaring off in front of Golf, Cor
bett ut once got into his famous fight
ing position and began with, Now,
Gus. watch"
"Eitzsimmons great blow, which he
may try to beat you with, Will be
his bluff left swing for your stomach.
for the purpose of getting your guard
down. He will then rip his right
across to the jaw. AS soon as you see
that left drop your right slightly and
protect your jaw with your left rails
ed a bit high. If he sees you're on to
these blows he is likely to try to fcint
with the left for your jaw and hook
the same punch to your body. That's
another one of those punches which
he has won great many battles with.
"What you want to do is considera-
bic foot work, just as you did In your
fight with Sharkey, that of sides-step-
ping to the left and again to the right,
at the same time sending your ieft
into his face. Fitzsimmons is cinch
for man with quick left hand, and
as you have one, think you will beat
him with it,
Corbett's opinion is shared by most
of the best posted ring followers, and
while "Titz" seems to be the favorite
in the betting, the price Is false" as
the race horse men say, ana Ruhnn
ought to win out when the men meet
Friday night.
"Kid" Mccoy, one of the cleverest
of all big men, is greatly Interested In
the outcome of the Fitzsimmons-Ruh-
lin bout, and, with Corbett, tips Ruh-
lin.
