SHARKEY KNOCKED OUT
GTJS R.UHLIX DID IT IS THE TTF
TEEXTH ROUND.
The Big Sailor West Dotto to His
First Defeat After a Des
perate Str-Bgrsle.
SEASIDE ATHLETIC CLrTJ"B, Coney
Island, June 26. For the first time In his
pugilistic career, Tom Sharkey went down
to decisive defeat tonight in the historic
arena of the Seaside Athletic Club, and
big Gus Ruhlin, the Ohio pugilist, was
the victor. It was a clean knock-out,
after 15 rounds of fighting that made a
memorable ring battle. Save In the mat
ter of aggressiveness, Ruhlin led from
the face off In every feature of the game,
and at all times had the fight well In
hand. Sharkey did not give up his place
in the line of flrst-class heavy-weights
without a desperate struggle. No sol
dier ever gave more desperate battle, no
man sinking to unconsciousness oveh
clung more determinedly to his vitality.
Even at the end. when blinded by the
blows of his powerful opponent and dulled
mentally ' the battering of his foe. he
clung Instinctively to the massive frame
of the man who was his master.
The decisive battle and unexpected re
sult were truly a surprise for the sport
ing public No line of form that could
be figured gave the Ohloan more than a
one-to-two chance. Sharkey had met
and at least stood off all of the leading
heavy-weights now in the ring. He was
known to be a giant In strength, cour
ageous to a point beyond discretion and
Aggressive. Ruhlin, on the other hand,
had never made a particularly good show
ing against any man of reputation, and
was regarded as a second-rater. Hence,
there was apathy as to the fight, and
while there was some spirited betting,
Ruhlin never showed better than 10 to 7,
and It was even money that he would not
last 10 rounds. The management. In
fact, decided to put the general admission
down to JL There was a big crowd on
hand, however, and they were treated
to a rattling good fight, with surprising
results.
Sharkey was the first man to come,
and It was 10.05 P. M. when he appeared.
The Impatient crowd gave him a fair
volley of applause, and was ndt especially
enthusiastic when Ruhlin came in a min
ute later. Ruhlin showed to great ad
vantage from a spectator's view point
when the men stood up together. He had
height, weight and reach, and looked big
and muscular. His condition seemed per
fect, and his work as the battle pro
gressed showed that it was. Sharkey was
not lacking In the matter of condition,
either. At 10:15, when the men, answering
the gong, came to the center, speculators
went through the crowd offering 2 to 1
on Sharkey, At these figures there was
a heavy play, and the talent did the pay
ing. As the men sparred to an opening, it
could be seen that Gus showed Improved
footwork, and greater cleverness In avoid
ing punishment. Ability in that respect,
coupled with his natural advantages, gave
him a superiority which he never waived.
He also showed fierce punishing power,
and it was only Sharkey's superb vitality
that kept him from defeat earlier In tho
battle. He used his right and left with
equal facility, and made them both count.
He rather lacked in aggressiveness, and
If he had gone In could have finished the
battle much earlier than he did. He al
lowed Sharkey to make the pace, and al
though he met him determinedly enough
when he came In, he did not press all ot
his advantages. He used his right to ex
cellent advantage, and time and again
stepped In after the chunky Irishman
had swung at him and made his blow
count.
Sharkey, with that marvelous aggres
siveness which has made and marked his
pugilistic career, made the pace from the
square-off until ho was helpless. He had
met his master, however, and defeat, al
though slow, was inevitable. Each round
brought him closer to it. Ruhlin kept
away from his wild swings and desperate
leads, and kept hammering his lert and
right to the face and body. He cut the
sailor's face until It was bathed In blood
and marked his chest and sides where he
planted his powerful punches. They
clashed in desperate clinches, and were
broken time and again. Sharkey showed
an inclination to rough It, and with
wrestles In the clinches, and tho unsym
pathetic crowd hissed and hooted at h'.m.
Cries of "foul" rang from the .crowd, but
the referee refused to Interfere.
Tho finish was dramatic Sharkey had
struggled through the 14th round by des
perate effort, and was but little revived
when he came up for the 15th. He made
n wild trj with his left, and when he
missed, Ruhlin caught him on the Jaw with
his left. Ruhlin sprang in and beat the
Irishman down to the floor with a volley
of punches. The resolute fighter struggled
to his feet, and when Ruhlin came in,
clutched him around the waist. Ruhlin
shook him off and dropped him again. A
thousand men, frenzied in the excitement,
surrounded the ring, and there was a din
of hoarse yells. Sharkey scrambled up
again, and then staggered against the
ropes. Ruhllng seemed unable to finish
him, and that would have been a charity.
Sharkey went down for the third time,
but with dogged determination staggered
to his feet. He was blind and unsteady,
and a punch put him down. The referee
stepped In and ended the contest. Shar
key was helpless. Billy Madden sprang
into the ring and kissed his protege, and
then aided in carrying him from the ring.
He was unmarked, while Sharkey bore
a score of bruises.
It was exactly 10 o'clock when Sharkey
entered the ring, attended bv Tom
O'Rourke. Jnck Sullivan. Jimmy Buckley
and George Dixon. The sailor was clad
as usual. In green trunks with the Ameri
can flag as a sash. Ruhlin entered a mo
ment later with Billy Madden. Kid Mc
Coy. Charlie Goff and Jim Corbett as his
seconds. The men tossed for choice of
corners, and Sharkey won. taking the
corner he occupied when he met Jeffries.
Both wore bandages and little time was
lost in putting on the gloves. Both men
looked to be In excellent condition, but
when they shook hands in the center of
the ring. Ruhlin show ed a remarkable ad
vantage in height over the more rugged
sailor. Both were met with loud cheers
when introduced. Referee Johnny White
gave the men their Instructions, and the
gong rang for the fray.
The FiRht by Rounds.
Round 1 Sharkey immediately assumed
the aggressive, and rushed Gus to a
neutral corner, where they clinched. Tom
rushed and led again, sending both hands
to Cue body. Gus was rattled, but soon
collected himself and placed both hands
to the bodj. Tom rusjied again, put his
right to the body, but was short for the

corner and swung wildly for the head.
Gus planted a right over the heart and

crowd was cheering wildly.
Round 3 Tom rushed, and Gus met him
with both hands to the head. "Hook low
and wallop." yelled O'Rourke. but Tom
was mad. and again rushed wildly. Gus
slammed him with both hands, but could
not keep him off. Tom then drove both
hands ro the body, and Gus countered with
his left to the head. Tom dropped to escape
punishment. He was right up only to
get both tiands to the face and head from
Gus. Tom -was bleeding at the nose when
the bell rang, and both were tired.
Round 4 Gus danced about and rushed.
but when Tom closed, he planted a hard
right on the sailor's body. They then
mixed It upjn Sharkey's corner. Gus was
was tired, and Tom was little better. Tom
rushed and Jabbed his left to the face.
He repeated the blow, and Gus sent him
away with both hands to the body. The
round waa much slower than the pre
ceding ones, and both were glad to hear
the bell.
Round 5 Tom was first on his feet, and.
meeting Gus in the center, planted his left
to the body and swung his left to the
Jaw. Again he landed the same punches,
and Gus countered with a right Jolt on the
body. Both roughed it on the ropes. Gus
shot a straight right to the face, and
Tom rushed him across the ring and
landed a right behind the ear. Gus Jabbed
back, but -was very tired, and Tom banged
him with hard rights to the body and
both hands to the bead. Gus was stag
gering when the bell rang.
Round 6 Tom rushed and hooked his
left to the Jaw. and Gus Jabbed his left,
cutting Tom's right eye. Tom was wild,
and rushed and .swung his Tight heavllyi
to Ruhlln's Jaw. They mixed it up hard,
both landing left and right swings to the
head at close quarters. Tom hooked his
left to the Jaw. and Gus crossed with his
right, sending Tom back, and followed
with a hard left to the wind. Both again
landed both hands to the face, and were
mixing it up at the belL
Round 7 Tom rushed and swung his left
to the Jaw. They clinched and broke
without a punch, and Gus Jabbed his left
to the face. Tom again rushed! and they
clinched. Tom Jabbed his left to the head,
and Ruhlin sent him away with one of
the same. Sharkey landed a right on the
body, and Gus upper-cut his left to tho
face and then swung his right to the Jaw.
He repeated the trick, and. ducking
Tom's swings, drove his right to the body
as the bell rang. Both were now very
tired.
Round 8 Tom rushed again and Jolted
his right to the body. Gus closed and
landed his left and right to the face. Tom
was still aggressive and rushed Gus
across the ring. Again Gus Jabbed and
swung with a right across to the Jaw.
Tom dodged it. Tom rushed, only to tako
a left on the face and a right on the
jaw. Tom staggered and Gus rushed and
banged with both hands to the Jaw, and
Tom went to the floor, taking the count,
and only got to his feet as the bell rang.
Round 9 Tom rushed and Gus met him
with a straight left to the face that
Jarred him. Tom swung wildly, but his
blois lan-led i-ound the neck, and Gu3
planted both hands to the body. Tom still
came on, but Gus measured him and sent
a crashing right to the Jaw. He could
not keep the sailor away, but every time
he came, Gus was ready for him and sent
his left and right to theiead with tell
ing effect. Gus looked the best at the
bell.
Round 10 Gus stood In his corner In a
crouching position, and when Tom came
in sent him back with a short right on
the Jaw. Tom rushed back and sent a
tenlfic left to the body. He tried to
repeat the blow, but Gus blocked It and
sent back a left to the head. Gus mixed
It with him. and Tom made him wabble
with a right on the Jaw. Gus then swung
a right to the body that could be heard
throughout the building, but the sailor
was good yet and was rushing again when
the bell rang.
Round 11 Tom rushed and swung his left
to the neck. Both steadied themselves,
and Gus Jabbed his left twice to the !::
Tom responded with a right on th J-.wr.
and Gus broKe ground. Tom followed :nd
jabbed his left to the face and upper : it
his right to the chin. Both were so tird
they were hardly able to stand, but the
aggressive sailor rushed, only to take a
rl?lt twing on the Jaw that staggered
lur.j Tom swung for the body, but fell
short and hit Gus on the thigh.
Rcund 12 gaa Tom rushed and laidd
on "he body Gus Jabbed his lef' to the
face and sent Tom's head back. Tom
was bleeding badly from the eye and nose
Tom rushed to a clinch and pulled Gus
across the ring. They broke, and Tom
sent a hard right to Ruhlln's body. Gus
shifted about the ring, but met Sharkey's
rushes with left Jabs. Neither man's
blows were carrying any force.
Round 13 Tom rushed, but Gus danced
away, and Tom grinned. Gus Jabbed his
left to the face, and, forcing Sharkey to
his own corner, drove both hands to the
head. Tom forced his way out, and bore
Gus across the ring and swung a hard
right to the head. Gus was cool and fight
ing cautiously. He Jabbed Tom hard on
the face, and hooked his right to the
head, at the same time blocking Tom's
swings. Both were resting at the bell.
Round H Tom rushed and fell short
with his right for the body. Gus Jabbed
his left to the face, and almost took Tom
off his feet. Ruhlin now seemed stronger,
and three times jolted his right to tho
head. Tom was bad, and Gus banged him
with both hands, playing heavily on the
head. It looked as If he would surely go,
but by hanging on he managed to stay
the round.
Round 15 Tom was up first. He closed,
but Gus sent him away with a short left
and right Jolt on the body. Tom looked
tired and Gus followed him and Jabbed his
head back and crossed his right to the1
Jaw. Tom sU.ggered and Ruhlin stepped
in and banged him with both hands until
the sailor staggered to the floor. He was
up at the count, but unable to make a
defense, and again he went to the car
pet from Ruhlln's blows. With bull-dog
gameness he struggled again to his feet.
Gus. by this time, was hardly able to
use his hands. When Tom again regained
his feet Gus staggered to the game sailor
and sent short lefts and rights to tho
head that looked as If they would not
hurt a child, but Tom was so badly done
up that he again went down under them.
Again he rose blindly to his feet, and
Gus walked to him. Tom tried to clinch,
but Gus stepped back and put a straight
left to the face and a right upper-cut to
the Jaw. Tom then toppled forward, all
out, and Referee Johnny White waved
Ruhlin to his corner, while the sailor
pugilist's seconds carried him to his
corner, where he gradually revived, and
was soon able to leave the ring.
After tke Fight.
When seen in his dressing-room, Ruhlin
acted like a big child.
"Well, what did you think of itr was
his greeting to the interviewers. "Didn't
I do all right? "Cm aljlg, slow fellow and
can't fight, maybe; but I won, didn't I?
Tom's a tough, game fellow, and gave me
a good fight, but I had not any doubt as
to the ending. I'm not hurt, and feel
fine, and whatever Billy Madden says
goes with me. If ho wants me to fight I'll
fight, I don't care who."
His manager. Billy Madden, said:
"Well, we're now ready for Jeffries, and
hope he will come to time without delay.
I think I have the champion, and may
make a match as soon as Jeffries signifies
his willingness."
Sharkey was much downhearted, but
said he had no excuses to make. He waa
willing to meet his conquerer again, and
had J10.030 to wager that there would be
a different result on their next meeting.
Jim Corbett was highly elated over
Ruhlln's -victor'- He said Jeffries had
done a lot of talking lately, and will now
have to make good his bluff or quit,

The river Is now within two feet of the

CHINESE ASSURANCES.
No Faith to Be Placed in Official
Reports.
NEW YORK, June 25. A dispatch to
tho Tribune from London says:
The dense fog has not UfteA from China.
The wires are down in every direction
from both Pekin and Tien Tsin, and Chi
nese messages received at the seaboard
from the Interior towns are not entitled
to credence. An old-time official who re
sided in China for a long period, told me
yesterday that he had followed the de
tails closely, and that apart from the
dispatches of the Admirals at Taku. there
had been no authentic Information for a
fortnight from any source.
The most significant and ominous fact
In the situation, he added, was Prince
Tuan's presence as commander of the
Chinese forces near Tien Tain, slnco this
was a proof that the most powerful lead
er of the court was at the head of an
anti-foreign movement, and that Well- j
armed government troops were massed
on the side of the Boxers. This meant
that China was at war with Europe,
America and Japan.
This well-informed official could not find
in yesterday's dispatches any evidence
that the relief column under Admiral
Seymour had reached Pekln or that the
legations were safe. The Chinese assur
ances were of no value, and the news
from China was a tissue of rumors. This
Informant declined to believe that the le
gations were safe, since he remembered
how easy It would have been for the Box
ers and the soldiers to command every
legation except the Austria one from the
wall which towered above them a short
distance away.
Yunnan Frenchmen Safe.
PARIS, June 2C The Chinese Minister
communicated to M. Del Casse, the Min
ister of Foreign Affairs, this evening a
telegram which he received today from
the Viceroy of Yunnan, saying that M.
Francois, the French Consul, and those
with him at Yunnan Sen, started June 24
for Tonquin. The Viceroy, It was added,
had a number of well-officered soldiers
accompanying the party for protection
over the entire route, and it was believed
they would be able to leave the province
without difficulty. The Minister also
said he had received a dispatch saying
the Europeans at Pekln on that date were
well and safe, but its Importance was
lost, as It was not dated.
Petition to the Empress.
LONDON, June 27. A Shanghai spe
cial, dated Tuesday, says:
"Viceroys Liu Kun Ylh and Chan SI
Tung and the Governors of Klang Si,
Klang Su. An Hul. Hunan and Hupe sent
a Joint memorial to the Empress and to
her advisors June 15, pointing out the
fatal error of going to war with the
world and of Imperiling the dynasty.
Nevertheless, they reported they had al
together 100,000 men. and only awaited
Her Majesty's permission to go north.
No reply has been received."
Two Prominent Facts.
NEW YORK, June 26. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
Two facts stand out In this tangled
maze of uncertainties. One Is the neces
sity for an army of from 50.000 to 100.WW
men, If China Is to be rescued from an
archy, and the second is the fact that
the Chinese troops are well armed and
in better condition for a warfare under
modern conditions than they were in the
campaign with Japan.

Bladder troubles most always result from
a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and

It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

The Contest to Be Desperate.
Chicago Tribune, Rep.
It Is always the height of folly, and.
nowhere more so than in a political con
test, to underestimate the strength of the
enemy. It is equally foolish to presume
upon one's own strength, the excellence
of principles, or the popularity of candi
dates. It will be wiser and safer for the
managers of the Republican campaign
to realize that they are confronted by a
united, a resourceful, and an unscrupu
lous enemy, headed by a wily, plausible
and dangerous leader. Unless that enemy
shall commit some extraordinary blunder
at Kansas City, Republicans must make
up their minds they will have a desperate
contest, and act accordingly.

WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE
"What Becomes of the Patient?
Doctors have their hobbles as well aa
other people, and In the treatment of
disease often carry them too far for the
patient's good. For Instance, In the treat
ment of Indigestion or dyspepsia many
doctors give bismuth and nothing else,
others rely on popsin to bring their pa
tients through, still another doctor treats
stomach troubles with the various vege
table essences and fruit salts.
Now one or the other of these excellent
remedies- becomes a hobby with the doc
tor who has had most success with the
particular one in question, because all or
them are first-class remedies for indi
gestion and dyspepsia, but not one oft
them alone Is so good as a combination
of all of them, such as is found in Stu
art's Dyspcpsta Tablets, which contains
not only vegetable essences and fruit
salts, but also the freshest, purest pep-
sin and bismuth, making altogether a ,
remedy unsurpassed for every form of
indigestion, sour stomach, nervous dys
pepsia, belching of gas, distress after
eating, sleeplessness, headaches, etc
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is not a se
cret patent nostrum, but you can seo for
yourself what It Is, and knowing thla, It
success as a dyspepsia cure Is not sur
prising. All druggists recommend and
sell them at 50 cents.
