SIMAIS HOME AGAIN.
Art Simms arrived in Akron this
morning, feling fine and is almost
without mark to show that he had
fast fight this week. Simms will now
remain in Akron and get his saloon into
running order.
HIS match with Terry McGovern is
still up in the air. Sam Harris and
Joe Macns, Simms' manager met re-
Gently and 1t seems that Harris is a
little hesiant about making match
with Simms. Terry is making good
money, fights easier game and is in
no hurry to endanger his laurels.
Simms is willing to fight at almost
any weight and at any time, will divide
receipts according to McGovern's ideas
and wants 10 make name for himself.
Terry aud his manager know this
and hesitate.
Art says kid" Thomas didn't fight
nearly as well as was expected before
the mill. His optics were soon badly
damaged, his nose bled and he was
a sight.
1t was Simms desire to continue the
fight even after be had received the
decision. He was building reputa-
Inniginn would
have been more to his liking.
Betting was all in Arts favor, start
Ing at 10 To 3 aud soon changing to
10 to 3, without takers.
