10 NONE BETTER
= ES IT

ious for battle between big men, and
thinks that there will not be the least
trouble in holding the encounter, de-
spite the fact that both pugilists are
Americans. Rubin never has been
abroad and Billy Madden has been
longing for the chance of taking the
trip with his big protege Manager
Mooser, the Eastern agent of the san
Francisco Athletic club had talk
with Brady today. II think that the
club will do everything Brady re-
quests, and I feel confident that the
fight will be held at Frisco on May l.,
don't think that Lnere will he any
objection Oh the part of the Governor,
Boxing is legalized in california, and
so long as Ruhlin and Jeffries live up
to the requirements of the law don't
see how there can De any lnterfer-
ence."
NOT HELPLESS.
Gus Rubin. who did not meet
Champion Jeffries in the ring, reached
Chicago last night.
Billy Madden. the old time manager
of boxers. is with Ruhlin. Madden is
not discouraged Mt the turn events
took at Cincinnati, but believes that
the two big fellows will have an op-
portunlty to meet before the end of
the year. He is willing to wait until
the wave of reform has swept over
the country and died away.
THE offer to have the men wrestle
den said last night. but | must first
find out whether Rubin is as good
on the mat as with the padded gloves.

his own against the best men he will
