went to a clinch. Finnerty lands a

shoulder. He swings again, and a
hard right and left on jaw from Simms
knocks him to the floor. Referee Me,
Kean counts three and the gong saves
Finnerty, as he staggers blindly to his
corner.
In the seventh, eighth, ninth and
tenth round, Simms does nearly all
the fighting, but cannot land the blow
in the right spot, Finnerty fights on
defensive to save his wind, occasional

doing harm by Simms' left. At the end

Simms
Again ~


Art Slmms, Akron's undefeated light
weight, added another wreath to his
laurels by defeating Squirrel Finnerty
of Youngstown at Canton Thursday
night, in II rounds.
At no time during the fight did Fin
nerty land an effective blow on the
Akron man, although up to the time
that Simms landed the knock out blow
a right cross on the jaw, the Youngs-
town man kept coming up for more.
When the men weighed in early in
the evening, Finnerty forfeited the
$50 to Simms because he could not
reach the agreed weight. He weighed
trife over IA pounds, while Simms

A REALLY GOOD MAN.
Art Simms has attracted the atten-
tion of the sporting writers in the east.
The New York Telegraph Wednesday
contained the following in reference to
the Akron lightweight
Buffalo has boxer named Joe Leon
ard who is known there as the "Buf'
falo Terry McGovern." Great things
have been predicted for Leonard by
oracles of the Buffalo sporting contin-
gent, they basing their opinions on
the savage manner in which Leonard
has moved down various Holsters
who have been raked up from rural
settlements in the vicinity of Buffalo.
A few days ago Leonard was pitted
against really good man, Art Simms
OF Akron, o. The fight took place at
Erie, Pa, and here is the story of the
contest:
AT the opening Leonard tried to
rush things, but he met the Ohio boys
| fist too frequently. In the seventeenth
Leonard was down three times. and
the last time the bell came before the
count was finished. He saved himself
from knockout in this round by cling
ing. In the eighteenth Joe was again
| down three times and took the count
each time. The nineteenth and TWEEN
tieth were tame, but Leonard face
was like piece of raw beefsteak."
Mr.. Leonard and the Buffalo oracles
will please dsentangle McGovern's S
name from the remains.

ALASkA'S MINERAL VALUE

The United States paid $720O.OO0 for
Alaska and last year Il yielded $751;
35j iu gold and silver alone. These iig-
ures are given by the statistlcian Of the
mint. The increase over the precious
metal product OF 1898 was $3,1SIOSS.
Until last year most OF the gold and sic
yer obtained IN Alaska came from the
quartz mines near Juneau, and most of
the vast increase OF last year came
from the rev gold fields Of Cape Nome.
IL amounted to about 81, 100000.
From present indications the next
three months viii witness an increase Of
eighty thousand in the mining popula-
ton Of the territory. Most of them win
go 20 the rich auriferous placers Of
Cape Nome. and miners Of long expert
ence say that the gold output Of the
present year from Alaska will equal
that Of California. and likely that Of the
