Monday that Art Simms had been
matched TO fight Terry McGovern, and
there We're many speculations as to the
conditions OF the match. 1t was dis
covered, however, that there Is no more
prospect now than there has been for
a match between these two fighters.
The Akron fighter has been after Ter
ry for IA long time and has challenged
the New Yorker for a match, allowing
Terry to make nearly all the condi-
tions.

have steered clear of the Akron man
and have done the same thing when
ever any good man approached them,
so that ii has been difficult to make

fled that he is willing to take on some

as though Slmms would have "A chance
to get go with him, but as yet moth
ing definite has been heard regarding
the match.
