Philadelphia, March 22.-Gus Rubin
and Peter Maher met at the Industrial
Athletic club last night for six-round
60, and in the latter part Of the sec
ond round Maher went down and out
on hard left on the jaw. Rubin
had the better of the go as far as it
went, he repeatedly rushing Maher TO
the ropes.
In the first round the men rushed to
a clinch, Rubin jabbed his left to Pc
to clinch. Maher planted a right
on Ruhlin's eye, bringing first blood.
The men were sparring at the bell.
In the second round Peter opened
with left on the forehead and re-
ceiyed one on the jaw, which sent Pc
ter down for the count. Gus then
rushed Peter to the ropes and after an
exchange smashed Maher again on the
Jaw, Maher looked weak and was
again rushed TO the ropes with Rubin
landing right and left. After lew
light exchanges, Peter was again sent
to the ropes with Gus jabbing him re-
peatedly on the chin. Gus then smash
ed right and left to the jaw and Peter
went down and out. The bell found him
on the hoor and his seconds carried him
10 his corner completely done for. He
however revived in short time.
BAD FOR SULLIVAN.
David Sullivan hugs the delusion
that he may get another match with
McGoyern. He should rid himself Of
The idea. His manager, Thomas Shar-
key, has posted 81 600 to bind another
bout and anticipates chance before
McGovern meets Young COrbett. They
are reckoning without Manager Sam
Harris, who said yesterday, that
McGove would bend all his energies
TO getting Corbett into the ring as
early as possible. If Corbett declined
to fight till October, then McGovern
may take on some one he has not al
ready beaten. That let's Sullivan out,
and he will doubtless be compelled to
seek souvenir match with Broad, or
devote his attention to the farm.
FOR THE BIG FIGHT.
San Francisco A. Q. will receive
license today from the Supervisors to
hold a bout In May. That Is the club
which will secure the Fitzsimmons-
Jeffries contest.
MAY BUILD GRANDSTAND.
It is probable that the East Akron
Athletic club will not be far behind
the band wagon, when II comes to fix
ing up grounds for base bali The club
Is said to have plans for "A grandstand
and for numerous blcachcrs, to be
erected at the East Exchange vt.
grounds within IA very short time, pro.
vided the mana cement Of the club does
not change It's mind. This will give
this club every advantage which the
city league has claimed for its games
and there will probably he quite di
vision OF patronage when once the
base ball season gets fairly started, foi
tho East Enders are determined I,
have a team and get games which vii
give the organization reputation II
local athletics.
