Cincinnati Jan. 31.-Gus Rubin, the

panied by Billy Madden, the veteran
manager, and Denver Ed Martin the
weilknown heavyweight who is to
meet Frank Childs of Chicago at Saen-
gerfest hail for the .olored champion
ship of America. The party was met at
the c., H. x d. depot 10y Oscar Gold

manufacturer of this city. who made the
gloves that Rubin will use when he tries
to wrest the championship of the world
from the boier-maker; big Biz
Naughton Of Chicago and several other
local friends and admirers of the big
fellow from Akron. The party went at
once to Chester park and then proceed

daily received by Christ Eichler, the
genial proprietor of the Country club,
and a large crowd of devotees of the
rOped arena.
Il never felt better in my life said
Rubin. Il will win from Jeffries as sure
as you are foot high. ! have had more
contests in the past year than any man
in the heavyweight division, and il
won't take me long to get in superb con-
dtion. l have really been in training 1or
a month. and will have no trouble in
taking off supertiuous flesh. Why, | had
Jeffries tin-canning around the ring
when l met him in Frisco. You know
his work is almost altogether on the de-
fensive, and / felt when we met in Cali
fornia that l should have had the de-
cison. This time | expect to win SO
decisively that there will be no room
left for doubt Some of these wise FISH
who figure me a 1-tO-2 shot Will know a
thing or two more after let myself ou;
at Saengerfest hail. I am not given to
Dragging as usual thing, but l have
everything to gain by beating Jeffries,
and you will see a new champion afte:
February 10. The crouching attitude of
the boiler maker will do him no gOoG
when / start in to trim him. There will
be no brutality, but ! will land the title
that l am so anxious to win. My match
with Sharkey shows that I am better
boxer than Jeffries. and l will demon
strate at the big hall opposite the Zoo.',
1T is a good thing that Jack Jeffries
concluded not to meet Martin on that
same night" said Manager Billy Mad
den, who has trained number of cham
pions. 1--WE would have put two over
the plate. l expect to see Gus win from
Jeffries, ana Martin will give Frank
Childs all he wants. The fact tnat tne
permit has been issued by the mayor in
sures a large crowd, and the pablo will
witness one OF the greatest iisic car
