Beforfe the fight and for some weeks

youth and strength, as well a the recently-acquired
ring tactics of the Ohio

,j To-night, however, all this has been
changed. Fltzslmmons did .the trick
oleaniy and cleverly, -( It was a fierce and
bloody bame while It lasted, ana .ai
limes It looked as If Bahlln would gel
the better of the older man, bat FiUstm
mons at the proper time, . would cat
loose with bis fearful body blow, which
finally snuffed out the Ohio boxer's
light. ' .
:. Fitzslmmons conceded about 82 pounds
to Ruhlln, and this In Itself was a se
rious handicap. : But, as the result show
ed. Fitzslmmons waa equal to the task
he had set himself, and won out ' with
that terrible solar plexus blow, which,
when it landed, shook Ruhlln from head
to foot. ' , . .:
Fitzslmmons left the ring five minutes
after-.he. had,, delivered 'the ; winning
punch, but It took Ruhlin twelve min
utes to coma around afflolently to be
able to walk to his dressing-room. .
