here. He was especially cordially
greeted on account OF the fact that he
had but recently beaten Whitehead,
who is not very popular here.
For the past six months Clrich has

peared and in support OF this fact he
displayed last night roll that looked
as big as a piano.
Gus Rubin, the Akron Giant. has
retired from the prize ring. This is
Gus first retirement. and he says it
will be his last. Henceforth Mr.
Rubin will devote himself entirely to
the management of his many real es-
tate properties. and he expects to be
worth $4,000 inside of three years.
Rubin gives as his reason for re-
firing the fact that he is disguised
, with the poor class of present day
pugilist Billy Madden. the man who
discovered and developed Rubin, said
yesterday:
Il had a long talk with Gus. and the
result of that talk that Rubin will
quit the ring forever. This is not one
OF those fake retirements. made for
the purpose of publicity. but the genu-

The attitude taken by Deadly indi-
Gates that it is not beyond the bounds
of possibility that this fight will be
held in the East, which is generally
desired by the sports OF this section.

cause he has come more into contact

AS a result. Deadly has come to he a

Il much better drawing card for his
club this fall than the fight between
Johnson and Kaufman. This is be-

negro. because many consider him to
be the best heavyweight now scrap

O'Brien. and it is PARTIALLY certain
now that many clubs in all parts of the
country would start bidding for ii

heavie:.
Johnson's offer to defeat Kaufman,
O'Brien. Burns and Sam Berger in
order to give him chance at Jeffries
has made him immensely popular.
His name is being continually men
toned in the same breath with the
success of Joe Cans. His record has
been carefully scrutinized by the fight
ians. and they find that he is one of
those scrappers who win most of their
fights by clean decisions.
His stock has been considerably
boosted on account of his challenge
TO the four aspiring heavyweights, and

Will be plenty of clamor for Jim
Ieffries to come forth from the dense
recesses of his alfalfa farm and tackle
this negro.
Jack McLain, the well-known and
clever feather-weight, is in training
for the Winter campaign at the Doyle
a. c.. Chester. He is in fine form and
wants to meet the best boys of his
weight in this end of the country. He
has always done good work and de-
serves show.
One of the members OF the Marshall
A. c. has invented new gas meter
which he has named the 'reddymoore."
1t is worked by holding both hands,
inserting quarter in the slot and the

are expected of Tommy during the
coming season and the latest reports

feather-weights of the country
Attell's defeat of Neil on July 4 gave
him the title in the feather-weight d.
vision without chance of dispute.
and, although he did not knock out
Neil on that occasion. he gave him as
terrific a beating as he ever had.
Neither Baker nor Attell seems to
have we'll developed knockout punch.
SO it is more than likely that when
they meet the fight will go the limit.
and the victory will be decided on a
