SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Aug. 1s.-Gus
Rubin knocked out Texas Jim" Nc
Cormick In the eighteenth round Of
their battle az the Colma Athletic Club
last night,
The fnal punch was a left to the solar
plexus which Ruhlin delivered with the
aid of the Fitzsimmons shift. the same
shift that won the heavyweight title
for Fitzsimmons from Jim Corbett years
ago at Carson City.
So terrific was the punch that sent
Mccormick into dreamland that he was
unconscious for half an hour after
being carried out of the ring People
at the ringside said that never had as
hard blow been delivered on the
Coast. and that even Jim Jeffries would
have gone down in defeat before it.
Urged by Seconds.
The fact that the winner was to be
given a fight with Marvin Hart for the
heavyweight championship of the world,
made the men willing to do or die.
John L. Sullivan. who was behind Nc
Cormick, and Billy Madden, who sec
onded Rubin, kept this fact before their
men at ali times and egged them on.
The men were given no chance to rest,
but at the least sign Of a let-up their
seconds. got at them. They were handled
Unnercifully. more like Il couple of
bulldogs In pit fighting for a big side
bet. And like bulldogs they battled
every moment they were in the ring.
The tide of battle ebbed and flowed.
First a punch would give Ruhlin an ad-
vantage that seemed to make him a GER
tain winner. Then Mccormick would
get over a blow and Rubin would stag
ger around the ring looking defeat IN
the face.
First Blood.
In the fourteenth round first blood
was drawn. Rubin landed a smash over
the ear that sent the claret streaming
down Mccormick s face. The blow was
one of the hardest of the hattie. and cut

Both Men Badly Punished.

deep gash in the ear Mccormick
evened this up IN the next round, when
he opened a cut over Ruhlins eye thai
sent stream of gore trickling down his
features.
IN the seventeenth round Mccormick
was as good as out. but he stuck gamely
TO his knitting, and took the beating
Rubin had 10 hand him,
Mccormick came TO the scratch in the
eighteenth round as though as fresh as
ever, and at once began 10 mix things.
The men battled all over the ring. and
suddenly Rubin sent the Texan crash

struggled TO his feet, and tried TO re-
sumo hostilities, Then IL was that Run

When the blow landed Mac dropped to
the floor as though he had been hit with
a club Without the movement of a
muscle. he lay there while the referee
counted the fatal ten" that gave Rubin
the victory.
This morning, in talking about the
| fight, Rubin said:
Il knew that I had it on Mac, and all
I wanted was q chance to prove 1t. He
gave me a better fight than l looked
"I am now going after Marvin Hart
| He is counted the champion. and I want
the title. If he gives me a fight he will
hand over the gift Jeff made him
No Kick From Mac.
Mccormick said;
"It was a great fight. I am satisfied
| that 7 was beaten fairly, and have no
kick to make That wallop in the
stomach was a dandy, and I am satisfied
| that 1t was not little harder. 1t might
| have killed me-"
Here Is John l.. 8 little talk.
My boy Jim will fight again, and the
next time he meets Rubin he Will win

Swanson Has a Chance.

Representative Swanson stands in
general way for the party organization,
and lately has shown a decided gain in
strength A few weeks ago II seemed
likely tnat Judge Mann would be nomi-
rated without much doubt; but now it
is conceded that, while the winner must
make his night especially against Mann,
Swanson has a chance. If he shall con-
tinue to gain as he has done in some
localities in the last three weeks, he will
be very near q nomination by the day
of the primaries.
Mr.. Swanson's home is at Chatham,
Ia the south part OF the State. He is
representative in Congress from the
Filth district, and four years ago was
candidate for governor, being de-
feated by Montague. He is one of the
two Virginia Democrats who have sat
en- the Ways and Means Committee
since the civil war. He is an excellent
talker and insists that ne is the anti
corporation candidate, making an espe-

A touching incident was narrated by
DIR. r. T. Horton on the second Sunday
after his return from months of treat
ment by a celebrated German Oculist.
He was waiting in the oculist's con
sulting room, not knowing whether or
not the remainder Of his life was to
be passed in darkness, when he put his
hand into his pocket and drew out his
little Bible-not to read it, but to see if
he could. AS he opened it his eyes fell
on the text:
For Thou are my lamp. o Lord;
and the Lord will tighten my dark
ness"
Il had not been aware Of the very
existence of this text" he said, land
I do not know who but an angel could
have led me to it; but I felt that,
whether I received my sight or not,
those words were enough for me, and
from that time I seemed to know that
l should continue to. proclaim the words
of this blessed Book"

Duty Above Life.

Life is a matter of very small ac-
count to any one in comparison with
duty-doing, whether a man. realizes
this truth or not. Whatever is worth
living for is worth dying for, if dying
be al incident to its pursuing. When
the Roman General, Pompey, was
warned against the danger of his re-
turning from Egypt to Italy, to meet
a e trouble in his own land, his
heroic answe was: "It is a small mat
Ter that.I should move forward and
die. It is too great a matter that I
should take n step backward and
live" Life is lev well lived when
it is held dearer than duty. He who
would tell a lie in order to live is will
ing 70 pay a great deal larger price for
his life than that life is worth to him
self-or to others.-H. G. Trumbull.
