Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-11-12

what Is probably the best record OF
any Akron team for this season. AL
though they have played many games
with various opponents some of them
being the kind that are regarded as
among the best in the vicinity, they
have not yet been scored against. If
the city championship Is to be de-
clded strictly on its merits, the East
Akron Blues should trot in the same
class with the Planets, North Ends
and South Ends, with reference to
ing easily defeated the oarberton's
Saturday, the East Akron Blues have
challenged any team in the county.
GUS REMARKABLE HEART.
DR.. Charles A. Clinton. who made
a close examination of both Rubin
and Jeffries recently was astonished
at the slowness of the heart action
Of the Akron giant. He had just come
from Jeffries camp when he met
Rubin and in the conversation that
followed DR.. Clinton mentioned the
fact that the champoin's heart action
was the slowest he had ever seen.
Feel mine,' said Gus, holding out
his arm. The doctor did so and re-
corded the pulse as 45.
That's two more than usual" said
Gus, "It's generally 49," He was
pronounced perfectly sound and
healthy.
WHAT THE GRAYS CLAIM.
The Grays' foot ball team claim
| that they are the champions of the
county at 1870 pounds, and they chal
| lenge any team at the weight to dis
pute the assertion They claim fur
| ther that nothing could give them
more pure joy than another game with
| the Yales
WHY THEY WATT
While Art Simms has been waiting
patiently for some word from Barney
Furey, with reference to chances for
Il go, the latter has been announcing
to his friends at Cincinnati that the
Akron man is afraid of him and
doesn't want to fight. In view of the
anxiety of Simms to meet Furey this
| statement Is ridiculous.
Art has made proposition and
Furey has accepted. Now they are
| both waiting for some one to offer a
purse for a 90 and then Slmms will
gladly sign articles to meet the
brawny gent. 1t Is not matter of
fear, but of money. No one has of
fered a purse as yet, and neither Of
these fighters are so opulent that they
can undergo an expensive course of
training without some assurance that
they will get part of 1t back.
KIRKWOOD NOTES.
The last half of the series in the
club championship commenced last
night with the ID and II teams at the
bat. ID team won the first game by
10 pins and Il took the second by II
pins. ,f
Individual averages for the first
half of the present series show that
''The old guard never surrendcrs"
since DR.. Carter, williams, Frain,
Howland and w. II. Synder. who
formed the "Kirkwoods" last year
are once more in the lead.
Barnes, Dangle, Hanscom, NJ. G.
Snyder, Il. V. Carter, Byrider, j. w.
Chapman, Votaw, Good, Firestone and
Kasch, are crowding toward the front
and making an interesting contest for
the second team with n possibility of
at least one of them making the first
| team.
REVIVAL OF BOXING IN YOUNGS.
TOWN.
The Youngstown athletic club will
attempt to revive boxing this winter.
Its members believe that if the game
is allowed in Cincinnati 1t will be al
lowed In Youngstown and they are
going to experiment a little, any way.
They say positively that they will
pull off some boxing shows this win
ter. Coy. Nashs views on the subject
have not yet been ascertained.
BOTH MEN HEAVY.
1t looks now as though both Rubin
and Jelfries would so into the ring
Friday night carrying more weight
than they ever did before. Jeffries
now weighs 2l5 pounds and Rubin
Will probably be almost an even 300.
The betting Is now at to l, but II
probably viii shortly rise to 10 to Z.
More than half the seats have been
: sold already, despite the dissatisfaction
