FIGHT POSTPONED.
New Date for Jeffries-Ruhlln Bout Not
Yet Chosen.

CINCINNATI. Feb. 14.-After Judge
HOLSTERS decision granting perma-
nent injunction against the Jeffries-
Rubin fight the promoters held a con-
ference. II was announced there would
be no contest tomorrow night and that
another conference would be held to-
morrow afternoon for more definite ac-
ton. The fact that the contest was
not postponed to any date is consld-
cred by some to mean that forfeit Is
under consideration.
Judge HollIster in his decision against
the fight said:
The difference between public and
private nuisances is that a private
nuisance involves private property and
a public nuisance involves all the in
terests OF mankind"
The court stated that the cItys fair
name and its reputation as a law-abid-
ing community Is property right suf-
fcient to enjoin a prize fight H said:
THE proposed contest IS a distinct
step backward. 1t sets false stand
ard Of manly virtue. Such affairs as
this proposed contest are degrading and
stand in the way OF progress"
