more surprised than was James ].
yeffries, when Gus Rubin quit in
the ffth round Of one Of the most
unsatisfactory fights ever held In San
francisco, last night. Rubin simply
wtlted and gave up, to the utter amaze
u,ent and disgust of the great crowd
that was gathered to see the meeting
for the championship Of the world,
and his sole explanation Of the out
come Of the fight was that he received
q chance blow that disabled him, and
that Jefrries persisted in fighting him
low. Gus Will make no direct charge
against the victor, but his seconds
agree that he was unfairly handled.
and that bis case was hopeless after
the second round.
Almost from the beginning Of the
nght Rubin appeared to be scared.
In the second round, when Jeffries
landed left hook on the jaw, it seem.
ed that all the fight was gone out OF
Gus. In the fifth, after round In
which Rubin had all the worst of the
fighting, he was assisted to his cor
ner and claimed that chance blow
on the pit Of the stomach had render
ed him unfit for fighting. His second.
tried to induce him to continue, bu
Gus insisted that he was the victim
Of an accidental punch.
Jeffres walked to Ruhlin's corner
asked what was the matter, and theI
turned and went to his dressing room
while the crowd cheered him and de
nounced Rubin as q gutter and q
faker. The entire place was in al
uproar and the police had to stop two
fights, in which referee Harry Corbet
and the officials Of the club were In
volved.
Rubin then made his way TO hi
dressing room. Some Of the assem-
bled sports accuse the management o
the club with holding a fake contest
but some others believe that Ruhlir
simply fought for The losers end OF
