 Predicts Ruhlin's Defeat-
 St Louis. Nov 6.-The West End club was crowded last night for the iifteen- round bout between the Feather weights, Abe Attell of San Francisco and Harry Forbes of Chicago. the lat ter being substituted for !iis brother Clarence. who was too sick to go on. George Siler. the referee, awarded the contest to Forbes, both men being on their feet at the close of the bfteentn round. although Attel was very Srog- gy. The Californian pursued entirely different tactics from those i.e used when he met George Dixon. Then ne was on the defensive but last night he assumed the aggressive from the start. For the first two rounds he had ue- cidedly the best of it on points, and in the secc-d he fought Forbes to- his knees. After that the Chicagoan TSl- lied and it was give and take to the close. Forbes played largely for the heart while AtteII sent in weak JabS

 Wilkesbarre, Pa, Nov. 6.-Harry Ruh- lin of this city defeated Jack Ashton of Philadelphia in twenty rounds be fore the Dalayan A.. c. at Lnzerne borough last night in as fast fight as was ever seen there.

They weighed in at 124 pounds.
 JEFFRIES WILL CONTINUE.
 Frank Kelly. the bookmaker, who is now at Latonia, has received q per Sonal letter from Jeffries. Tn part it said: .sIf this fight goes well with me I will be in line to take on any of The men in my class. 1 will give FitZsim- mons another show. also Corbett ana Sharkey. They say it is their game to fight me. so I will give them all an opportunity to make good. 1 am in good shape for Ruhlin and feel sure of winning
 THE STARS BACK JETFRIES.
 I have made an accurate study of the stars on the coming big fight be tween Jeffries and Ruhlin and ny pre- dictiOns are absolutely correct. The sign under which Ruhlin was born is known as Aquarius. This sign shows him q man of tact, strategy and . natural money maker. Ruhiin's star foretells he will be the next champion in the year 1904 The first part of this month is unlucky for Ruhlin, and lie must beware of accidents 10 his arms or legs. RlIhlin's star, as I foresee, shows that he will be the first to draw blood. He will land blow after blow, but they will be useless to him. He will have the best of the bout in flIe early rounds. The sign under which Jeffries was born is known as Aries It predicts that he will live to good old age. but will die in poverty. Jeff fries will still be the champion Of the world until 1904. His star IS very bright and shows lots of good luck in store for him. The star foretells ]Ie will be weak in the third and fifth rounds, but in the ninth round he will have the strength of an OK. He will defeat Ruhlin on the night of Noyem- Der 1J. The weather will be fair and clear. With the stars and astroiogers assisting them in getting the winner. the sporting men of New York should have little difficulty in making q for tune.
