DOUBTFUL VICTORY.
The Star Athletic club and the West
Hill Greys met In hot contest on the
West Hill grounds In which the rooters
and the small boys all got into the
game with the two teams and made
the contest one to be remembered. The
umpire decided that 1t was tie game,
| but the Starsclaim the victory by
score of 6 to o. The merits of the
case are volubly set forth by the mem-
bers of both teams.

ball team of the Henry school Satut'
day by a score Of s too.
CANTON @, NORTH ENDS 0.

Akron men and endeavored to play
a game of foot ball against the team
of the Canton Athletic club. 1t deve-
loped that the visitors were obliged
to play against all Canton. The com

the tune Of to 0. North Ends fought

fact that they We're crippled from the
serve great credit for their work under
the circumstances. The Canton play

went on the field until they left It,
Canton made her score in the first
half after fourteen minutes and forty
seconds of play and kicked goal, the
game being fifteen minute halves.
In the second, North Ends rushed
the ball down the field to within
lo yards of Canton's goal before be
ing stopped and then the signals was
given for full lack buck.
Blttner, who was playing the posi-
tion for North End was not wei
verscd In the signals and he failel
to take the ball, The result was that
Canton got the ball behind the Nortr
Ends line, Bittner, although Q
stranger to the methods Of the Nortt
Ends, having been drafted from TIL,
Planets for the Sunday game, proved
to be q great ground gamer, and h,
was given able assistance by the res
OF the Akron team. All the visitors
are decidedly sore ut the treatment
they received from the Canton au
dlence.

3 "rhe tight was fast throughout an,

l. ever witnessed" said Siler. Duff,
because of slmms' crouching attitud,
o seemed TO be the taller, but there

every round except the sixth, til
I'd third round was his best. lie delivere
ID with both hands fast and hard an
I'd came near sending Smms to the cal
III vas with a right jolt to the jaw.
