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 aud that he fully realizes that
TO defeat Fltzslmmons he will have to
be 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 Fltzs!mmons, he
will show the public just how quickly
n good man can win n fight.
Rubin tumbles out of bed at g o.
clock every morning and takes run to
the beach, where he takes his daily
plunge In the ocean. After swim of
nearly an hour lie goes back to Mad
dpn's home for breakfast. After Il
rest he takes u live or ten-mile run over
the roads around Bath Beach and then
gets IA rundown and starts up his
gymnasium work. Then comes hls
spnrring bouts with Charley Goif,
which are as interesting TO watch as n
genuine fight Rullln and Goff mix
things In II very earnest manner and
the Akron man has II chance to show
all the cleverness which he learned
from Corbett, The confidence with
which Rubin looks forward to his
meeting with the Cornishman shows
that he has no thought of being beaten.
He says he whipped II better man than
l1itzsimmons when he knocked out
Tom Sharkey,
