Put Rhu|in Out Of the
Business
FIVE ROUNDS
Rubin Became a Quitter in
The Second.

San Francisco, Nov. 16.-In one Of
the most unsatisfactory prize fights
ever witnessed in this country
James Jeffries proved the victor last
night over Gus Rubin, the Akron
giant. In the fifth round of what
was to have been a 20 round struggle,
Rubin waited and then surrendered
to his peer to the utter amazement
and disgust of the assembled thou
sands No one was more surprised at
the outcome than Jetfries hims elf who
asserted that while he had delivered
one telling blow in tie second round
he did not expect to win the victory SO
easily.
Rublin's sole explanation of the
outcome Of the fight is that he receiv.
ed a chance blow which utterly dis
abled him and that JetfrieS persisted
in fighting him low. While Ruhln
will make 40 absolute charge ii JET
fries having committed foul, he it,
Inmates that that he was unfairly
handled aud Injured as result. Ruiz
lin receives the support Of his seconds
who say that his vas hopeless case
after the second round.
