Simms by having fifth rater, n col

The scheme was for Broad to put the
gloves on with Simms for n few rounds
and go II at hammer and tongs. The
negro was to follow Broad and 1t
would be easy picking. But Broad
guessed wrong. He failed to stop
Simms, but. in fact was stopped him

brought the colored lad in to fight
Simms, he lasted just half round,
when Simms had him down and out
That proved to me that Simms IL

may help people to settle the differ
ence between prize fight and a

CORBETT OUGHT TO KNOW
Jim Corbett declares that ,Ieffrles
VIII win the coming fight. Hes 100
big ana strong for Gus" he said.
"Take my fight with him, | Thought 1
was doing splendldly, but he caught
me at the end. He's got bad punch
and any man who gets 1t win 20 out.
Jefries Is so big, no man VIII be able
to whip him by going to him, as
suppose Rubin will do. That will
just suit his game. The only way
to bave chance with him Is to
make him carry the fight to you, and
even that plan Of battle, you remcm.
ber, was not altogether successful"

THE VALUE OF TRAINING.
The South Ends, also find that the
game Saturday has crippled them to a
certain extent and 1t viii take time
before they can again play fast bali.
Akron football players are too large.

selves properly.
