Arrangements were completed Thurs
day evening fort he Simms- Whitaker
contest at the South End Athletic club.
1t was decided to put on three pre-
liminaries. The men will all be local
aspirants for honors pugilistic. They
have appeared before and are known
to be fast.
Although it was not finally settled, 1t
is probable that the admission will be
fixed at $1.5O and So. There has been
a demand for seats and it is certain
that the club house will be crowded.

at Canton, Nov. 30. The men will
weigh 1873 pounds at three o'clock. The

| le duu ~, n. IJ bON llhS
teams have arranged series of five
games. Each club will work five men
and games only will decide the match.
Two games will be rolled on the
Howard st. alleys and two at the
South End. A toss up will decide
the alley for the final game. The first
will come off on s. Il. A. C.'s alleys
Tuesday night.
PEERLESS MAN RETURNS.
Clarence Moore, who has been bowl
ing on the crack Columbia team In
the American National tournament in
New York, returned to Akron Thurs
day. Mr. Moore will remain in the
with his former comrades-the Peer
less bowlers. In regular team practice
on the oward st. alleys Thursday
night Mr.. Moore bowled 226.
NORTH ENDS READY.
The North Ends have finished their
hard practice for the game with Shell
by Saturday, and will now rest up
by doing only light signal work. The
players are all in good condition, for a
hard struggle. Captain McBurney and
the rest Of the team are hopeful of
winning the game, although they fully
realize the strength of the team they
must face. Coach Baer is well salts
fed with the team work, and condi-
tion of his team, and stated last even
ing the game should be very close, as
both teams are evenly matched in
weight both teams having experience
ed coaches. The probable line up of
the North End is as follows:
Left end, Murphy.
Left tacle, Schultz.
Left guard, Engle, Russell.
Center, Hibbs. ~
Right guard, Gallagher, Wakefield,
Right tackle. Kauth.
Right end, Nelan, Young.
Quarter back, Capt McBurney.
Left half back, Dietz, Heisler.
Right half back-Cassidy.
Full back, Bedur.
KENYON CRIPPLED.
For a common, ordinary practice
game, Kenyon seemed to work exceed
ingly hard in this city and If all re-
ports from Gambler are true the team
had anything but a picnic with the
Buchtel boys. A dispatch to the Lead,
er says:
kenyon will be in good shape to
meet Marietta Saturday, but not In
such shape as she was when she met
Reserve. With at least two of her
best men out of the game, 1t is easy
to see that. This week, however, has
not been spent in idleness. Sunday
found the team in the worst possible
shape it has been all season. About
half the men were banged and bruised
so as to be able to just get around.
Monday they were given a complete
rest, and Tuesday found thirty men at
work. A good hard practice was in
dulged in, and prospects looked better.
Even then four first team men were
not in the game. The work was kept
up the two following days with a
little show of improvement. So far
Kenyon has escaped defeat, and IL she
can defeat Marietta her record will
remain clear at least until she meets
o. S. u.
KID HERRICK MATCHED.
At the Youngstown Athletic club
quarters next Monday night located
in the power house and seating 5000,
Billy Ryan, of Syracuse, and Walter
CKid" Herrick, of Rochester, N. Y,
will go for 90 rounds at 124 pounds,
weigh in at o'clock. Ryan has won
over Jack Mcclellan, Luke Burke,
Jack Hamilton and Tommy Sullivan,
and has fought draws with Oscar
Gardner and Jack McClelland. He is
matched to meet Eddie Gardner soon.
Herrick has been fighting only two
years and resembles Terry McGovern
In physique and ring style. He has
81 victories and only two adverse de-
cisions, draws being with Kid McIad-
den and Tommy Dixon.
