ever after getting inside 1t is not so
bad. Although there were few Akron
ties present, Simms had many friends
in the audience and the decision of Ref
cree Tommy Ryan Of Philadelphia,
was popular one. Simms carried

to be suffering from stage fright He
had been touted as a rush fighter, but
he did not make good last night. His

During the first few rounds he excelled
In this. Art soon tumbled to his game
and during the last Is rounds he more

Previous to tho contest Simms' ad-
mirers offered five to three with very
few takers and but little money
changed hands on the outcome.
Art devoted himself to jabbing his
left into Cardners face and body.
Occasionally he would find an open
ing for his right and then biff, bang.
Although he did not succeed in finding
the knockout spot, he had the Philadcl-
phia boy very tired in several rounds.
To look at the Gght was not the most
interesting thing imaginable. 1t was
too one sided. Gardner's friends kept
shouting to him to get into the game
but that young man evidently had toe
much respect for his countenance to
chance collision with Arts right. He
was willing to let Simms do the lead
ing. hoping that he might catch the
Akronite with counter. 1t was ho.
ping against hope.
1t was 9:20 when the men entered
the ring. Simms and his seconds were
the first to make their appearance. In.
stead Of jumping through the ropes
they took seats just outside the squared
circle, waiting for Gardner to crawl
between the ropes. He did not keeI
