RUHLIN'S CRITICS.
The Euhln-Jeffries GO which has
been ST. for Nov. 8, is still filling the
minds md the pap IS of sport ng
writers all over the United Stat ~
Nearly Nery one seems to delight in
taking a gentle jab at Jeffries and
Gus. These two lighters are called
everything under the sun except gen.
tlemen and good lighters
Their honesty, their managers, even
writer has a long article telling that
Rubin would never do for Il champion
because he has not a graceful stage
appearance. There are SO few fights
lately and SO few pugilsts who be-
lieve more in lighting than talking that
the perpleXed sporting writers are in
an awful strait to find something
to write about. The idiotic article
that have nothing to do with real
sport of any kind, but are devoted
to the exploiting of personal peculiar
tiles are the outgrowth of this condi-
ton.
GIBBS is BUSY.
Young Gibbs, the Cleveland colored
lightweight, who styles himself light
weight champion of Ohio, will evident
ly he a busy young man, if he takes

an unknown at Ashtabula. On Sept.
10, he win fight Joe Youngs. at Rock
port. According to dispatches FROM
the west, Gibbs also has Il match with
Billy Bishop, to be fought at San Fran.

TAFFY FOR ART.
The Chicago Intcr-Ocean has an
excellent picture of Art Simms in the
Sunday edition of the paper and has
the following good things to say about
the Akron boy:
Art Simms, the Akron lightweight,
is coming to tue front of that division
with rapid strides. His recent defeat
| of Kid Thomas proved that the Ohio
lad outclasses all the second-rate 1873
Founders and Is entitled to place
with the stars.
Simms has been hot on Terry Nc.
| Governs trail ever since he returned
from England, bun his chances Of get,
ting on match with the feather
weight champion are rather slim. Ter
ry would never consent to give away
to as dangerous lad as the Akronite
ana the latter would have to cut mat
tiers pretty fine to fight AT l2S pounds
aud do himself justice.
Bert Dorman, the British sportsman
who handled Simms during the lat.
ter's stay in Albion, writes that Pat
DAILY has consented to meet the Ohio
boxer before the National Sporting
club. The match viii probably be ar-
ranged during the coming week, in
which case Simms viii cease chasing
after McGoyern and set sail once
more for England.
GODDARD MUCH ALIVE.
Joe Goddard Is hard man to kill,
although half the puglllsts OF the
world and old John Barley Corn
have all taken a try at him. He has
forsaken the fighting game now ant
has entered six days-go your pleas,

had enough hard punishment ant
hard living to have killed dozen or
dinary men, but he is still very mucl
alive.
