RUHLIN A WINNER.
Gus Rubin got revenge for his de-
feat at the hands of Robert Fitzsim-
mons a year ago. Last night he met
the ex-champion in a wrestling match
In Madison Square Garden, winning
two straight falls. A special from
New York describes the affair as fol
lows:
Gus Rubin and Bob Fitssimmons,
in Graeco- Roman wrestling bout
attracted $500 people to the Madison
Square Garden last night. Rubin was
both cleverer and heavier than the
Cornishman, and won two falls in sue
cession with a quarter of an hours
rest between them. Rubin showed that
he knew a great deal more about the
game than Fitzsimmons did, and it
was the latter's agility which prevented
his being thrown much more quickly.
Several noted fighters were in evil
dence, among them being Tom Shar-
key, who has taken to the wrestling
game recently, and Terry McGovern,
who acted as timekeeper. Charley
White was referee. When they faced
each other the spectators cheered as
Fitzsimmons, in trying for a hold,
swung his right as If he were going to
fight. He repeated these tactics a.
couple of times to the intense amuse-
ment of the onlookers. Rubin drop
ped and remained ON the defensive
three times, and twisted quickly, the
third time getting Fitzsimons under
meath for rolling fall They got up
again, and Fitzsimmons ducked with
his old-time cleverness, when Ruhlins
big arm tried to encircle his neck, and
the movement made many remember
, the last meeting between the two big
fellows. With Rubin again on the
defensive, Fitz got a strangle hold,
, but only for few seconds, as Rubin
broke it cleverly. When they came
, together again they spared as If for
! an opening ut the old game, and occa-
> sionally slapped each other on the
neck and shoulders. After five minu-
tes of this kind of work Fitz got back
body hold and put Gus to the mat,
but only for a moment. He repeated
this twice over and secured a strangle
, Rubin was too heavy for Bob, who
essayed back hammer hold, but was
3 unsuccessful and they got to the cen
3 ter again. Fitz gave Rubin a flying
fall and Gus went on the mat on the
q defensive. Fitz got throttle hold OF
Rubin and tried to pull him over, but
Rubin stood close and fell on Fitz
I and with combination lock pinned
Fitz's shoulders to the mat, gaining
: the second fall and the match. Time
IL minutes, SO seconds.
