SIMNTS NEXT FIGHT.
Theoffer of purse for twenty.
round contest between Art Simms
and Kid Goulette, Of Buffalo, for the
night of Jan. 8, has necessarily been
refused owing to the short time given
Simms in which to get into condi-
tion. This is the second match Slmms
has lost through the injuries he sus-
tained in Cleveland after the contest
with White. Eastern clubs are anx-
ious to use the Akron lad, but until
he is in perfect condition he will not
he matched. His next contest will,
however, be before the Cadillac A. C.
of Detroit, which offers good purse
for Simms to meet some man yet to
be named. Curley supplies and Kid
Lavigne, ex-lightweight champion of
the world, will probably meet in De-
troit on Jan. Is, the Cadillac A. G. of
fering n purse for this pair.
