Prospects Tor an dtnielic ciuu A
East Akron grow brighter as the days
70 by and the work of the committees
progresses. The committee which was
lppointed at the citizens meeting,
Monday night, to meet Mr.. l.. @. Miles
Ind see what the latter had In mind'
was greatly gratified by the result
pf their visit. Mr.. Miles gave them
ample assurance that a club house
will be built, and when he returns
from business trip to the West, he
will again take 1t up, with the com
nittee.
In the meantime a temporary club
has been formed, with John Cooper,
president. Other committees will look
after temporary headquarters, and
rules and regulations and the next
meeting will be held next Tuesday
night. The younger element among
the residents of East Akron are in
terested IN the project, and are graf
fled by the progress that has been
made.
INDOOR SPORT.
Indoor athletics have jumped into
Instant popularity, with the ending of
the foot ball season and the falling
Of snow. Basket ball, indoor base
ball and other active games would
be played here now by several strong
teams, but for the fact that they have
no place in which to play. The tear
ing down OF Assembly hall has destroy
ed the last public hall of pny size in
the city, and ii will be n long time be-
fore anything is built that will take
it's place. Basket ball, especially,
combines all the exciting features of
foot ball, without the danger.
ANOTHER TEAM GOING.
The Columbus, OF Barberton, will
send a bowling team to the National
tournament, at Buffalo. A five man
team will be entered, and they may
also be represented In some of the
other contests. Both the Akron teams
that are going to Buffalo, have been
selected and this section will be well
represented.
GUS RUHLIN TALKS.
Gus Rubin Is still In Akron, and
will remain here for several days, af-
ter which he will go East and en-
deavor to get some matches there.
"There Is not as much doing in the
boxing line as there was,' said Gus,
Wednesday morning, "The game has
been killed in Denver, St Louis au-
thorities are putting Il crimp In 1t.
Chicago Is not 80 much In favor Of
boxing as she was, and the election
In New York, prevented further at
tempts Mt the sport there.
'Simms should he able to get some
good matches in Frisco. He Ia n
mighty good boy, and there are n
number of lightwcights in that part
of the country who are anxious to
meet him. i have nothing on mt pres
ent, but nope to get some matches
In a short time"
GRANDS WILL GO.
The Grand Bowling team has de
cided to attend the National bowl
Ing tournament at Buffalo, In January
They will enter n five man team nn(
O two man team, and II is possibl,
that they viii also make some entrie,
In the Individual contests. The fol
lowing men will he those who will TO
present the Grands:
Messrs. Martin, Marsh, Brownell
Gostlin Johnson and Frees. Ii ls an
nonnced that $1,000 will be given IL
prizes, and the Grands VIII make an ef
fort TO bring some OF them home
Thus far the Grands and the Peerless
club are the only Akron organization
who have announced, that they vii
attend the tournament.
OPPOSED TO BOXING.
Upon the organization OF the ney
East End Athletic club, If the plan
now under consideration are carrie
out, the management win not tolerat,
or be known as promoters of boxin
contests.
While n minority of those who ar
interested In the club were in fayo
OF having boxing contests, wheneve
practical. the majority believed tina
the sentiment is beginning to turn, an
tEat the time viii soon come whe
there will be no more attempts I
pull of fights in this State. The Go,
ernor Is opposed to them and any n
tempt to disregard his wishes woul
only result in trouble, and unpleasal
notoriety. Therefore It has been d.
clded that boxing will not be conside
ed In the list OF possible entertain
iGents.

Young "Corbett," the vanquisher G
Terry McGovern, is quite a wrestle
and attributes some OF his toughneS
10 the fact that he counts wrestling q
one OF the important parts of tralnin
for a fight. Abe Attell will probnbl
be the first fighter to meet "Corbett
He promised the Westerner a go b
fore he left Denver.

tween the Kirkwoods and the Colur
