Art Simms again demonstrated last
night, at New Britain, Conn, that he
Is the fastest pugilist of his weight
In the world, and although the fight
was given him on IA foul In the thir'
teentb round, the fight was his and
would have been his very shortly, the
foul blows struck by kid" Thomas
being the final plan to which he resort
ed In distress.
The fight, while 1t lasted, was the
fastest ever seen mt New Britain. The
snen fought Mt 1873 pounds, and for
eight rounds We're evenly matched.
Then Simms. having been conserva-
1--we, until he had learned his man,
cnt loose and literally put 1t all over
his opponent. Thomas stood his pun,
inhment gnmely until the twelfth and
thfn began to hit low, so that he
fouled Simms repeatedly In the thir.
teenth he continued to strike low and
the decision was made, giving Art the
fight.
Simms was willing to continue tn,
fight and wanted to do so badly, ever
after the decision went to him, bu
his seconds refused to allow him to d,
10.
Art knew the value of this fight [,
bis standing and wanted very mucl
thnt 1t be fought out on Its merits
He clearly had the best of the argu
rnent and was Furnishing Thomas bad
E when the latter f0uled him.
Slmms will now go after Terry Nc

FOOT BALL LEAGUE.
Speaking of an Akron foot ba
league recently an ex-college foot bn
player aud local club man said: ="
league for Akron Is impossIbl,
Teams cannot play each other man
games. Some Akron teams are ayerl
to playing others, because of past di
ficuIties, and these dissatisfied on,
would cause trouble, no matter VIII
the conditions.
foot ball is too hard on the pla
ers 10 make the league possible. TT
players would continually be batter
out of condition and the ability of Il
teams would soon deteriorate so tn
they could not produce an interestil
foot ball game. Akron players a
:, tamateurs and have daily work
some kind to attend 10 and could n
give the game the time necessary I
many games.

BANK CLEARINGS
Beat Those of Last Week. Even
With a Holiday.

Bank clearings were considerably af-
fected this week by the holiday. The
absence of days banking business
in a city where each day amounts to
so much as in Akron has considerable
effect on the weeks trade. Clearings
for this week were 1885, 800, and those
for last week We're S377.9OO. This
shows that this weeks business, had
there been no holiday, would have
been d record breaker.
