events to be tackled by the local clubs.
All the Akron organizations are ambl-
tious and anxious to make a showing,
and they know that nothing brings
a club so quickly and so prominently
:, to the fore as athletic shows properly
:, conducted. Entertainment promoters
have already been after the Mayor,
NJ with desire to find just how he stands

Cleveland man.
PREDICT BIG YEAR.
'' Akron horsemcn predict one of the
biggest years that was ever seen In
~ racing, for next season. The per.
formancesof last year have given them
faith and an intimate knowledge of
the racing game such was not theirs
before. The thorough fairness of the
affairs of the Northeastern Ohio cir
cult was thing that made last years
events vcis credabc and pleasing
TO nll who took part In them, ana the
Akron men confess that they like the
game very much.
Tis, OF course, refers to the own.
ers who had confined their former ef.
forts TO performances at matnees of
n the Akron Driving club. There are
besides these, "a number of men who
have made their living by handling and
racing horses for many years, and
Tn and the latter combined with the first
!, named gentlemen to make Akron club
strong organization.
There will doubtless he the same
lack of matinee events that was no.
ticed last year, once the racing season
r. gets into fun swing.
HANG TOGETHER
Akrons two professional pugiists
are quite fond of each other, aud spend
n great deal OF time In each others
an company. Each Is able to acquire ex-
BY perience and knowledge of the tricks
w Of the game from the other and their
Z n. meetings and walks ana talks have
IN largely to do with wallops and jabs,
swings and counters and the gentle
rela art OF dlsfguring countenances. The
i"rh great physical contrast between tho
s,a,. two men Is, of course, most notice
the able when, they are together, and
and Sinms lined up aside OF big Gus Rub
AZ lin, looks exceedingly frail by compar.
