For the first time in his pugilistic
career Tom Sharkey went down to de-
cisivc defeat on the night of the Goth,
in the historic arena of the Seaside
Athletic Club, and big Gus Rubin, the
Ohio pugilist, was his conqueror. 1t
was a clean knockout after Is rounds
of hard fighting that made a memoir
able ring battle. Save in the matter
of aggrcssivcness. Rubin led from the
face-off in every feature of the game
and at all times had the fight well in
hand. Sharliey did not give up his
place in the line of iirst-class heavy
weights without a desperate struggle.
No soldier ever gave more desperate
battle, no man sinking TO unconscious

his vitality. Even at the end when,
blinded by the blows of his powerful
opponent and dulled mentally by the
battering of his foe, he chung instinct

pocketbook that was stitched to the lin

The greenbacks were first wrapped In
tissue paper. Around the tissue paper was
a wrapping OF linen cloth. Pasted to the
cloth were strips of stiff cardboard and
leather thongs were wound round and
round the packet until the cardboards
could not be seen. Then the whole packet
was hidden away in a blind pocket be-

A narrow leather purse containing about
