 From a Knockout-Joe Choynskis Recent Victory in Alaska. Phila delphia, Sept S.-Gus Ruhlin put it all over Kid Carter in six round fight here last night RuhlinI completely ,outcIassed the Kid, andI the only thing that saved the Brook lyn boy from. taking the full count was his gameness.
 Ruhlin went right to work in the first round and started with vicious left jabs to Carter's jaw. He landed several of them and Carter tried tol come back with one or two vicious rights, which missed their mark, and then he came to clinch.
 Ruhlin followed these tactics up in ! the second round and had Carter's head rocking with his straight left jabs. One of these blows brought the blood freely to Carter's nose. Garter was evidently worried and began swinging wildly
 Tn the third round Ruhlin ran out of his corner and smashed Carter against the ropes and had him almost going. Carter came back, however, and got in a, stinging left to Ruhlin's jaw which
 
 left to Carters face, sta ggering him. One of Ruhlin's straight lefts alnostj upset Carter, but he managed to keep his balance and came back with al right swing to the head. Both mem were covered with blood at the gong.
 From that on it was all Ruhlin. He had Garter wandering and tired, on Queer street, but weak as he wasI l the Kid managed to stay the six rounds and prevent knockout. According to advices from Alaska, Joe Choynski the veteran heavy weight. met and defeated Nick Burley at Dawson City, Yukon, in seven rounds, on August z last. This was their second meeting within three months, the first scrap resulting in al victory for Burley in two rounds. The battle, according to all accounts, was ] q hummer and was in doubt until the l final punch was delivered. It the 1 last round, after Choynski had fioored l Burley twice with blows to the stom- ] ach, the Californian swung for Bur ley's jaw, landing his right clean on l the mark and knocking Burley out. Al I large crowd turned out to see the mill and the miners lost heavily on Burley, l whom they thought invincible. l Choynski says that he is going to seek 1 another match with Jim Jeffries The; l pair met some years ago, and the re- suit was a draw after twenty rounds had been fought l match between Jim leffries and Jack Munroe appears to be assured. The Anaconda miner yesterday an nounced that he would fight the cham l pion on the lajtter's own terms, and all l that is necessary now is the posting of forfefts and Munroe's signature to the articles of agreement, which the boilernlal1er has already signed .es5us On Friday Jack Carey of the1Cen- 1 tury A. tC. of Los Angeles, Cal, offered 65 per cent of the gross receipts for g 1 twenty round scrap between the two
 As soon as Jeffries was consulted he
 subscribed his name to the papers l and agreed to stop the miner inside of the limit provided the combat took place on October 16. Mulnroe was in- formed of this by wire and quickly re- l sponded. He said. however, that he would fight Jeffries but could not do I so on October 16 He suggested a 1 l that he would not wait until then; 1 that if the encounter was to be held it l must be fought on October 16 or new
 CT Seeing no way out of it, Munroe then acquiesced. The miner has done So, though, reluctantly, because he be-
 heyes that he will not have sufficient
 time in which to train properly, although the date of the battle is near 1 ly six weeks off.
 'Tn my present shape,' said Munroe,
 "three months of solid work would be
 just the thing for me- I have not
 done any real fighting for a long time,
 while Jefries has just had bout and Is in fine condition But I have been
 waiting for the chance to fight Jef- fries ever since we had that four
 round go at Butte last winter, and I
 don't like to lose the opportunity of
 meetlng him now, Even under the terms on which have agreed to fight
 him I'm sure that I will win. will
 start active work at once. have can
 celled all my engagements and will
 leave for the west possibly to-mor- 1 row"
 Munroe is going to West Baden
 Springs He will stay there about
 three weeks and then proceed to Los
 Angeles, where the club will provide
 him with suitable training quarters.
 Munroe expects to take Tom Carey,
 the Terrible Irishman. with him as his
 trainer and sparring partner. Carey
 held this position when Munroe was
 on the road filling his theatrical en- agreements
 Jefries will also be located at Los ! Angeles. This will be lhis first ap-
 pearance in the ring in his own city
 since he became champion, and his fel-
 low citizens are anxious to see him
 fight. He is dn excellent trim now
 and all that he will have to do is to
 bake off weight.
 The club has not announced how
 the purse is to be divided, but in all
 probability Jeffries will agree to di-
 vision of 75 and 25 per cent
