THE MOI?:nNG 0EEG0NIA2s SATUEDAY, AUGUST 11, 1900. RUHLIN KNOCKEDUUT Defeated by Fitzslmmons in the Sixth Round. A RIGHT ON THE JAW DID IT JUiron Giant "Worn Out toy Fearful Body Blcrns A Fierce and -' Bloody Battle. NEW YORK. Aug. 10. Bob Fitzslm mons, ex-dh&mpion pugilist of the 'world, met Gus Ruhifn. the Akron Giant, at the Twrntieth Century Club, Madison-Square Garden, and Won by knocking: the Ohloan down and out In the sixth: round. Before the light and for some weeks past there have been many reports to the effect that ritzsiramons was too old to cope successfully with his younger opponent. It was argued that Fitzslmmons' well known laiowledge of the game and his capability of hard hitting would not be able to -counterbalance the youth and strength, ae well as the recently-acquired ring tactics of the Ohio man. Tonight, however, all this has been changed. Fitz fclmmons did the trick cleanly and clev erly, It was a fierce and bloody battle while it lasted, and at times it looked as if RuhHn would get the better of the older man, but Fitzslmmons, at the proper time, cut loose with his fearful body blows, which Anally snuffed out the Ohio boxer's light. The betting all along had favored Fltzsimmona, many wagers at the rate of 100 to EO on "Lanky Bob" being made. Tonight, however, at the ringside, there was a flush of Ruhlln money, which forced the odds in Ruhlin's favor at the rate of 100 to SO. This state of affairs did not last long, however, and by the time the men put -up their hands for the opening round, they were equal -favorites at even money. Fitzslmmons himself conceded about 32 pounds to Ruhlln, and this in itself was a serious handicap. But, as the result showed, Fitzsdmmons was equal to- the task he had tot himself against,, and won out with that terrible solar plexus blow, which, whenever it landed,' shook Gus from head to foot. From the word "&o" the men started In with hurrlcane-llke force. Both were wild at time, but Fitzslmmons was al ways the quicker to steady himself. Ruhlln clinched a good deal, and for three or four rounds was the, aggressor. He landed some hard straight lefts on Fitz simmons' faco, and swung his right to the body and head with fearful force. Several of these blows staggered Fltz eimmons, but nono of them landed on the mark, as Fitzslmmons was too shifty. At times both mlssfd swings with either hand, but many of Ruhlin's were dodged in the cleverest manner. Fitzslmmons forced Ruhlln to hreak ground, and in hot mix-ups tho Ohio man was always the first to oat? up and take refuge in a clinch. Time and again Fitzslmmons forced Ruhlln to the ropes, from which position Ruhlln got away rather clumsily, while Fitzslmmons was -always very quick in his foot movements. When Ruh lln s nose began tp bleed from a. left punrh the sight of the blood seemed to have a doterraat effect upon him, and Fitzslmmons was quick to see this. On the first slgn of weakness on Ruh lin's irt, Fitzslmmons began Ills Attack on the body, and each blow which he landed there made Gus wince with pain. Fitzslmmons' handlers kept urging him to plaj for the solar plexus, but he only tried it occasionally. Evidently he was waiting an opportunity for a right swing 3,0 the majk. In the fourth and fifth rounds both men showed plainly the effects of the stiff ad rapid work they had done in the preceding two rounds;. Both were tired and leg weary, but Ruhlln showed up much the 4worse of the two. Fitz slmmons was always the quicker on his fet-t at the call of time, but now and then, during the rounds, he Fecmcd to stand still and glaro at hds opponent. Ruhlin at those times s-tood still, being evidently grateful for the chance of breathing which Fitzslmmons afforded him Just once Fitzslmmons touched the floor, when ho slipped down from a clinch at the end of a round. The Knock-Out Blow. In tho sixth round Ruhlln was slow in coming to time, -while Fitzslmmons jumped at his man. Fitzslmmons got around RuhHn, and, while the-latter sent straight lefts for Fitzsiminons' head. Bob side-stepped safely, and landed lefts nd rights to the head and neck, and, -with a fearful left on tho solar plexus, Fitzslmmons sent Ruhlin in a heap to the floor. This was the beginning of the end that soon followed. Ruhlln, after taking nine seconds of tlie count, aroso to his feet groggy from the effects of the blow. Fitzslmmons knew he had his man and was ready for him. As soon as Ruh lln got up, Fitzslmmons rushed, sending two lefts to the face and then shot his right with fearful force to the point of Ituhlln's jaw. Gus pitched forward, as If struck with an axe, and fell on his face to the floor, where he was counted out, and had to be carried to his corner. "Wild scenes were then enacted in and about tho ring It seemed as if every one in the building wanted to greet the winner or sympathize with the loser, and the police had a busy quarter of an hour getting the people out of the build ing Fitzslmmons left tho building five minutes after lie had struck the winning blow, but it took Ruhlin 12 minutes to come around so ho could walk to his drofw'ng-room. - Fitzslmmons was a little bit dazed ttlen lie reached his dresing-room. and asked foiue of those gathered about him if it was not the 15th round in -which tho fight was fljrfshed. He soon recovered his reason and than indulged in a hearty laugh. "WcJl." he said. Tm an old fellow md a has-been, eh? "Well I guess I -eras good enough for Mr. Ruhlln, and he was not so bad, cither. That was as uugh a battle as ever I went through, but I am still good enough for a few more Ruhlin is a good one, and with a little more experience he will about do. He lilt me some scorching wallops, and. although 1 did mt realise it at the time, I can tell jou he can punch a bit. I wis wrv tired, but the further the bout wnt, the more positively I felt that I could finish him. Towards the close Ruh lln grew weak and I knew I had only to steady mvself a little in order to get him. He awv me a good fight, and I can She him nothing but praise." Bub s seconds wished him to go to a bath right away, but he njfusod, saying hU wife was waiting for him and he must go home. And, as soon as he got ius cloth on, he left the building, fol lowed by an admiring and cheering crow d. Ruhlin when he readied his dross-ing-rom was in a sort of trance, and it. -was a towg time before he fully under stood that he had been defeated. He was badb bruised about the head, and both eye were almost closed. He did not care to talk, but managed to say: "I did tk best 1 oould. and no man can do TOwa. Fitzslmmons whipped me. and that" in all I can iay about it." BT'.y Mteddea. Ruhlin's manager, de clared that Gms" defeat was due to ovrr tnnmng James J Corbett, who acted as one of Ruhlin's second, also declared that Ruhlln was over-trained. "I know this," be said, "for he was with me dur ing mv preparations for my bout with Jeffrie:. After that Gus continued train ln? for Ms battle with Sharkey, and worked wn harder after that for his bout with FitsstmnKMts. I warned him that ho was doing too much, but he imagined that he could stand it. Any biv could see tonight that something was wmnp with him, as he sent the right to the Jaw repeatedly, but the necessarj strength was not behind the blows." Charlio "White, who refereed tonight's bout,, said: "It was a hard ,and., fierce fight.' in which both men fought fairly. Fitzslmmons -clearly demonstrated that he 'is noj a has-been and still has the punch that wins. Ruhlin at times looked as if he might win out, but he lacks ex perience, which will be remedied in time and" I have no doubt that he will be heard from to a much better advantage later on." The Kiffht by Rounds. Round 1 They met in the center of the ring, both feinting. Fitz landed a light right on the ear, and Ruhlln countered with a light left on the cheek.
