Ruhlin Showed Up Weil In Fight. The Westerner Was Too For Him. Fast Exciting Races at Fountain Park ! Sports.' The result of the Kennedy-Buhlin go at San Francisco Friday night was a sore disappointment to the Akron -friends of Gus. It was generally believed that he would win the match. Kennedv seems to have been a much faster man than he was supposed to be. The following special from San Francisco tells the btory: Woodward Pavilion, San Fran- The Excelsior athletic elub offered Gus Ruhlin of Ohio, and Joe Ken nedy of San Francisco, heavy weights, as their star attraction in tonight's boxing tournament. The stars were billed for a twenty round contest for 65 per cent, of the'gross receipts. In the betting Ruhlin was favorite at odds of two to one, ith plenty of Kennedy money in sight. The Ohio man weighed 1!H) pounds to Kenne dy's 195. Money In Sight. - The Kennedy money came from his local admirers, who thought him good enough to meet Jeffries. Ken nedy's claims for recognition are based on an unbroken record of vic tories over 50 good men of his clnss. Ruhlin was in prime condition. Ken nedy appeared to be a little beefy, but said he was in the best shape. Behind Ruhlin were Billy Madden, his manager, Charley Goff and Billy Otts. In Kennedy's corner were Spider Kelly, Tim McGrath and Sol dier Wilker. Dewitt VanCout, box ing instructor of the club, was chosen referee. As a preliminary, Billy Otts and Chas. Tye of San Frcncisco light weights, boxed ten rounds for a de cision. The huuse was well filled. Kennedy wanted to hit in the clinches and break aways, but to this Madden would not agree. Kennedy's Speed. In the first round Kennedy show ed great speed. He was careful and cool. In the second he smashed Ruhlin on the jaw with a left swing. In the third Ruhlin landed two lefts on the neck and a hard one on the jaw. Kennedy returned the blows with interest. In the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds Ruhlin tried to weaken Kennedy by playing for his heart. That this had its ef fect was evidenced in the eighth. Kennedy kept clinching and seemed to be tired. He repeated his tactics in the next three rounds, Giis land ing frequently on the body. Ruhlin Rushed. In the thirteenth round Ruhlin rushed Kennedy to the ropes and slapped him with a left on the neck. Kennedy came back with three letts without receiving any return. Tho fourteenth lound was marked by hard hitting in which Kennedy had the better of it. Ruhlin appear ed slow and clumsoy, Joe having no trouble in keeping under his leads. Ruhlin's Rounds. The sixteenth was all Ruhlin's. He rushed savagely and staggered Kennedy with a left on tho neck and right on the body. In tho seventeenth he pounded Kennedy's libs for further orders. At the opening of the eighteenth round both rushed and met in the conterof tho ring.' Tlmy hit while locked, any old way. Tho referee Musical News Dr. Ion A. Jackson will receive a limited number of pupils in voice production and song coaching dur ing July and August. He will have a class in Cleveland and will devote one day to Akron pupils if a suffi ciently large class is organized. Information can be secured by addressing I. A. JACKSON, 112 South Union st., Akron, O. was unable to part them. Kennedy pushed a hard left to the neck and then put his right around Ruhlin's neck, hanging on. Gus rapped away at the body with both hands. This w as repeated time and again and it became interesting. Tho crowd was howling like mad. Nineteenth round Gus rushed in and uppercut Joe as the latter, tried to duck. Gus hooked him on the jaw with a left. As they broke Gus swung a right on the chin which sentl Kennedy reeling. Joe came back game. The Final Round. Gus ripped two rights in on the ribbs. They 'were careful and watched for a knockout blow. Joe landed both hands on the neck and ribs. Kennedy was forcing matters. He was given the decision on points. Ruhlin wept as he walked quietly out of the ring. The decision was well received by the crowd. Jack Stelzner challenged the winner. Wolcolt Won. Joe Wolcott, the colored welter weight boxer, was given the decision over Dan Creedon, the Australian middleweight, at the end of a hard fought twenty-round bout before the New Broadway Atletic club Friday night. John White was the referee. Wolcott did the work from the start of the fight with left hooks on the jaw. In the sixth round a left smash from Wolcott sent blood spurting from Creedon's right eye, and after Dan received a right-and left on the body he looked very tired. He came up in the next round looking very strong, having evidently fully recu perated. From then until the fif teenth AYolcott had" it all his own way. When they shook hands for the wind-up Wolcott rushed and tried hard to land a decisive blow, but Creedon managed to evade him clev erly. Seven Good Races? Six of the seven races at the Akron Driving club matinee Friday were straight heat events. Notwithstanding this, the finishes were exciting and the large crow'd thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon's sport. In the absence of Dr. L. S. Ebright, Fred Laub acted as starting judge. His work was satisfactory. The time was not as fast as expect ed. There was no starter in the sec ond race to force Maggie A out and she won about as she pleased. In the first heat Davy Crockett made a game finish but the Akers mare ''had speed enough to win.even though the time had been much faster. Hastings made a splendid impres sion.
