NORTH ENDS IN GOOD TRIM.
The practice of the North End foot
ball team last evening was the hard
est of the season. The interference
was good and the tackllng sure. Cap
tain McBurney has some surprises to
spring on the Shelby boys, which will
be sure ground gamers. Coach Baer
was well satisfied with the practice
last evening, and later remarked: "The
Shelby team may be the strongest ath-
letic club foot ball team in the state,
but the North End players will have
to be convinced first" The foot ball
lovers will therefore be afforded an OPP
portunity of witnessing game Satur-
day between two Of the strongest and
best coached athletic club teams In the
state. This game will be called prompt
ly at p. m. on the Buchtel grounds.

said Fitzsimmons, "I'll stake my spar
ring partner, Ed. Dunkhorst, and will
back him against Jeffries, and I'll post
$500 as n forfeit"
FIGHT POSTPONED.
The Nickens. Gibbs Is round contest
scheduled to take place at Ashtabula

went to Cleveland from Akron, where
he has been in training. Gibbs failed
to post a forfeit, and Nlckens has
consented to postponement of 4
