excellence In practice that will make
their games up to the standard from

FOOTBALL vs.. FIGHTING.
Most OF the pugilists Of the country
are opposed to the game of football,
largely because they say that 1t Is per-
mtted by law, when it is more fatal
than the fighting game. Pugilists all
over the country raise n howl every
time football player is injured. The
fact that football Is permitted without
restriction In spite of all the deaths
that are caused year after year, and
pugllsm Is almost prohibited by rea-
son of the few fatalities that have
been consequent to fights, seems re-
markable to the fighters and to a good
many admirers of the fighting game.
GUS OPINIONS.
Here Is Gus Ruhlin's opinion OF the
Jeffries- Kennedy fight switch the Ak
ron Giant saw the other night, accord
ing to the New York Telegraph:
What do ! think about IT." said
Rubin after Kennedy had been car
ried To his corner. 81 think II was a
good one. 1t was short, but l like
! these short settOs sometimes. There
was plenty of fighting in this bout.
They were both busy all the time, and
| was surprised TO see Kennedy go In
and mix 1t from the start ! had an
idea that he would stay away for n
round at least, and then go In and
fight. but he started right Off. 1t was
the first time ever saw Jeffries give
his man such hot chase, In all his
other fights he has gone after his man
cautiously, but tonight instead Of feel
Ing his way, he walked right into the
lighting. II showed me TINT he has
more confidence than he ever had be
fore Jef'ries put Kennedy out with
short left jolt on the point of the jaw
and It was pretty blow, When he
shot out his left his whole body went
with II, and that IL why it was so eff
fcctlvc. There Is more force behind
those short lcfts than appears to the
casual observer around the ring"
