comparatively little commotion among the

men about the resorts freQuented by the
patrons Of pugilism ready to take any
money offered at such odds, and they were
not able to make many bets.
Betting men have been closely watching
the work of the akron Giant" and his
stock has gone up considerably. Some men
holding Jeffries money last night were
pointing at 10 to Z. and it was the prevail

both fought and won hard contests. They

ended q twenty-round contest with even
honors. Ruhlin has been in the ring TWEEN

sensational fight from the clang of the
bell in the first round.
Jackson cut out the pace in the opening
round, and from the manner in which he
rocked Handlers head with right and left

early finish. But the Newarker came
back like house afire in the second. They

Jimmy Michael, king of pace followers on
