The directors and persons who have
been connected with boxing matches

the hall would be taxed to its utmost
capacity at fancy prices if the permits
sion of the city and county authorities
to allow the contest can be secured.
After talking over the subject from
every angle and as business men, out
side of the benefits to be derived by
Convention Hall, several of the hall
directors conceded that the fight would
prove no more Objectionable than the
contests of similar nature previously
held IN the building.

CINCINNATI, O., January 12-The
directors of the Saengerfest Athletic
association to-day held several infor-
mai conferences with their ATTORNEYS
and then held a meeting with all the
stockholders and members at 3 D. M,
lasting until p. m, when the follow
ing was given out to the press:
The shareholders of the Saengerfest
Athletic Association Company in gen.
eral meeting assembled on this day.
authorized the following statement,
viz:
Notwithstanding the opposition and
dlti1culties confronting us in the effort
to carry out project that we have felt
from it's, incipiency was not only feas-
IDLE and right, but also permitted by
law we announce that we shall con-
tinue in the course heretofore out
lined"
For several days the directors of the
Saengerfest Athletic Club have prepar-
ed bulletins for the press, but none has
created as much local comment as the
one issued tonight. 1t was generally
believed after the general meeting of
the shareholders that the Jeffries- Ruth
lin fight and its preliminary would be
declared off, but the Saengerfest Asso-
citation now seems to be determined to
fight it out themselves, notwithstand-
ing the local betting is still at odds on
the fight being finally declared off.
Before leaving his Office to-day
Mayor Fleischmann announced that he
would be in New York all of the COM
ing week. and he repeated his state
ment that he would not issue a per-
nit to the Saengerfest Athletic Asso-
citation until two days previous to the
fight and that it would be a permit for
sparring exhibition, such as is per-
mitted under the Ohio statute. There
is very bitter feeling now between the
members of the Saengerfest Athletic
Association and the friends of Mayor
Fleischmann.

When Eddie Gardner meets Art
Simms, of Akron, O., at Massillon, O.,
Tuesday night, there may be sur
prise in store for the sporting fratern-
ity, notwithstanding the opinion>of the
Pittsburg sporting editors to the con-
trary. OF course, it must be conceded
that Simms is awfully clever and has
never been bested in the ring. But
lately it has been the opinion in this
city and vicinity that Eddie is harder
puncher than his brother Oscar ever
dared be, and besides he can take an
awful beating and come right back,
for no gamer fighter ever entered the
ring.
When the match. was announced, a
Pittsburg editor remarked: Eddie
Gardner will be Art simms' next vic
TIM" or words to that effect. Now,
the reputation of looking through a
glass whenever there is OCCASION to
make any comparison wherein Pitts
burg product enters If a Pittsburg
fighter is beaten, the man that bets
him is looked upon as the best ever.
However, as has ben said before,
Simms is a good man.
The articles read, straight rules and
1870 pounds at the ringside. This
weight is going to pinch Sims some;
1874 ringside would see him at his best.
Eddie could easily do 1875 ringside, so
concessions have been made by both.

Want the Cause Removed.

Since the city has refused to clean the
mud from the wharf, rivermen and ship
pers say it should remove the cause The
cause, they claim, is the collection OF
boat houses beneath the bridge and at
the head OF the wharf. They produce an
eddy in the river which allows the sedi-
ment to settle on the wharf in thick lay
ers. The wharf has not been cleaned in
months, and the passengers from the
boats are forced to wade through the
mud left by the last food. The boat
houses do not add any to the beauty Of
that portion OF the river.
