THE REAL REASON.
When Simms and Tuohey parted
company it was announced that they
were the best of friends and that the
reason for the separation was the death
of the boxing game in Detroit 1t has
since developed that the real reason
for the split was the division of the
purse in Akron on the occasion of the
Simms-Popp contest. When Art en-
tered the ring he understood that the
winner would receive the long end of
the money. After the battle was over
he found that Tuohey had agreed with
Popp that the purse should be divided
half and half. From friends in Youngs-
town he received information that Tu-
obey would attempt to stop his match
with Gardner. The Detroit manager,
who by the way Is one OF the best in
the country, has evidently dropped this
plan, as he returned to Detroit Tues
day. Simms says that he Is through
with Tuohey and that he will never
again fight under his management.
