Rubin dropped in TO watch some of
the youths there go through their
various athletic exercises. Soon af

gymnasium, and after greeting the
Akron man warmly, the ex-champion
suggested that they put on the gloves
for a little bout
Rubin readily consented, and both
men donned their ring attire.
Percy Williams acted as referee,
while Prof. Levy held the watch.
At the clang of the bell both men
came out of their corners smiling and
danced around the ring. Fitzsmmons
was first to land, getting in his famous
shift blow. This seemed to anger
Rubin, who rusred the Cornshman
10 the ropes, where hot exchange
followed. ~
They were still mixing it when
the bell rang.
In the second round both men landed
some telling blows, Rubin almost
going down from Il left jolt.
The men slowed down in the last
round, and gave an exhibition Of some
pretty sparrlng.
Rubin used his well known left jab
with excellent effect, time and again
landing that blow without II return.
Toward the close of the round Fitz-
simmons landed II solar plexus blow
which made I,uhlln vince. When
the bout was over Rubin said that In
his estimation Irltz Is faster at pres
ent tllnn he has ever been before.
