RACES
Are All Over For
Akron.
Horses Have Gone Into
Winter Quarters.
South Ends Took Some
Rooters to Shelby.
Gus Ruhlin May Go on the Stage,
If He Wins His Fight.

Racing is over for the season in Ak
ron. Not even is there any immediate
prospect of the settlement of the race
between Brooklawn and Tony Is,
which came near having "A fatal result
at the last trial. Most of the horses
are at home and have been placed in
winter quarters. The small attend
ance that rewarded the last matinee
of the Akron Driving club is said to
have nothing to do with the discon-
tinuance of the races, although they
were conducted for the sport and not
for any financial reward.
There is every prospect now that
the races next year will begin as soon
as the season opens and there will be
but few of them in Akron.
Nearly all the horse owners have
declared that they will get into the
circuit events as soon as they can.
The experience of the past season has
made them believe that Akron places
some winners in the circuit and they
are going out after the money,
THE STRUGGLE ON BUCIiTEL
FIELD.
The soft ground has done a great
deal TO prevent chances for good
game on Buchtel field, between North
Ends and the Planets, but both are
earnest and determined to win. North
Ends met the Planets and went down
to defeat In tile first game of the sea
son and they will try to redeem them
selves today Planets are IN fine fcttlc
and will do their best to prevent
North Ends rcgaining any of the,
lost glory.
THE GAME AT SHELBY.
A rather despondent crowd of foot
ball players and rooters went to Shcl
by this morning over the Erie TO meet
the strong Shelby team in what Is
advertised as a game for the cham
poinship of the State. The steady driz-
zle OF rain that fell here was some
what dispirlting, but the South End
boys are determined to use every ef
fort to prevent defeat, as they have
made an excellent showing thus far
this year. Shelby will be seen here
In a return game IN IA few weeks
JEFFOKDS KNOCKED OUT.
Peter Maher stopped the champion
ship ambitions Of Jim Jeffords in the
second round of what was to have
been 10 round go before the Eureka
club, of Baltimore, last night Both
men looked to be in fine cond rion
when they entered the ring, ana Ief-
fords had n great deal the best ( 1t
In height and reach. There IS A
light exchange of taps in the Arst
round, but no real work.
In the second they straightway mix
ed IL up. Peter landed heavily and
Jeffords seemed also to be able to
land on the Irlshman. After n little
more than minute of fighting, Peter
sent his right to the stomach and the
same fist TO the jaw and Jeffords was
down and out. Rubin challenged the
winner a few days ago.
GUS MAY ACT.
II IL said that Gus Ruhlin IL shortly
10 make his stage debut as n real actor
I'm play called THE Man of Iron
The fulhllment Of his dream of thes
plan triumph will, of course depend
largely OH his Atlng Jim Jcll'ricl
on Nov. 10, at Frisco. In the latter
event Gus would doubtless act a'
nochnlantly as an old timer. He has
long since passed the period where
ambitious actors suffer from stag
fright
There will doubtless be plenty o
mixing IL up, when Jeifries and Ruh
lin meet There will be no such stat,
OF affairs as Is brought about by clear
breakaways and none of the little prob
lens of science and trickery that trou
BILE the lightweights. There never I'm
been great deal of cleyerness in tn
heavyweight class, If Corbctt ma,
be excepted or with tile exception q
fltzsimmons, II he may he called
heavyweight.
With the big fighters IL is merel
matter of whack, thump and swinl
II one or the other does try to d
few fancy steps they are only imitt
tions and clumsy ones, made nece
sarily 80 by the great bulk Of III
fighters.
While the result will doubtless he II
teresting, from the amount of none
that has been wagercd on II, thel
have been some fights in Akron whel
far more pretty work was done In
minute than Will be seen in the who
OF the Jeifries-Ruhlin go.
EAST ENDS-BARBERTONS.
The Barbertons and the East A
ron Blues VIII meet today on the Ea
Exchange st. grounds and will plI
hot game. II has been freely pr
dicted by the members of the Ila
Akron team that they may he defeI
ed by the visitors, but they are detC
mined to play for all that Is in the
and II Barberton wins she will kno
that game OF foot ball has be
played. The East Akron boys ha
Won all the games they have been
30 far and they are confident tn
