memberships have increased nightly
with the few first days OF cool
weather. All of the clubs are taking
in new men and the prospects are
for busy winter. The membership
at the South End has grown more

ter him in the past and It seems to
be the opinion OF the majority that
Art Simms would have about the best
: show to defeat the champion of any
OF the fighters that are after him
This Is the chance that all of the
} comers have been waiting for and It
is probable that great many chal-
lenges will be made in few days
or weeks.
McGovern has been lighting easy

he will endnnger his title and fight
some good men has given the boxing
} game an added interest.
. PITTSBURG AND THE PENNANT.
Pittsburg appears to have cinch on
the National League baseball pennant
and the satisfaction that relgns in
the Smoky City is counteracted by a
} corresponding depression in the other
cities that have had teams in the
League this year.
