the custom of referees stopping ngntS
as soon as they see that man is whip
ped without letting n mill get 10 the
stage where brutality and blood be-
\ come prominent factors. IF referees
would stop fights as soon as 1t was
plainly evident that one man was
whipped" he says, there would not
be such cry all over the country
about the brutality of boxing" This
was the reason Madden threw up the
sponge for Ruhlin. without the latter's
knowledge, and with the result that
more excitement WAS created by the
mill than attended any other fight ever
pulled off in the United States.

NO GAME.
The KirkwoOds and the South Ends
failed to come together mt the Main
st. alleys, in the third three games
of the series that they started some
time ago for trophy, The reason for
the postponcment of the game was
that the South Ends were matched to
play the Columbias on the South End
alleys ana il full team could not he
mustered to meet the Kirkwoods. The
latter teams Will meet again for n
game next Friday night.

has Its own claims of popularity
Akrons indoor winter sports, IN gen
eral, are at low cbb with the single
exception of bowling, which continues

Akrons old time experts ut indoor
base bnll lslve been inquiring. lately
about the possibility Of forming II
team, and II may he that there will
be some developments before The sea
son Is over. The scarcity of places In
which TO play, is among the most scri-
Gus obstacles to the success of n team
