LIGHT FROM THE FIGHT.
louisville, KY, Feb 25.-The Times
says:
Chief OF Police Sebastian Gunth-
er, IL developed today, caused the Nc
Govern-Sullivan fight Saturday night to
come to an end when 1t did. Before
the fight began, Col. Gunther had an
understanding with Referee Fitzsim-
mons that when, in his opinion, either
Of the principals was unfit to continue
boxing he (the chief would arise from
his seat as a signal that the fight was
to be stopped.
In the fifteenth round, Col. Gunther,
who was sitting very close TO the ring,
saw that Sullivan was done for and he
accordingly arose. Eitzsimmons de-
clared McGovern the winner.
Col. Gunther would have stopped the
fight had not Fitzsimmons acted.
GAME POSTPONED.
For the first time in several weeks,
tho pool game in the amateur tourna-
ment last night was postponed. Lore
and Garrett will come together tonight,
however, and good game is promised.
BUCHTEL WON.
There was n very warmly contest
cd game of basket ball at Grouse
gymnasium Saturday night, resulting
in a final victory for Buchtel Acad-
emy team, who faced the team of the
College OF Physicians and Surgeons,
OF Cleveland. The score was 81 60
26. Both teams played well, and con
tested every point well. The attend
ance, however, was very small, owing
largely TO the fact that the game was
not advertised.
Following are the names of the
Academy players:
Swanson, c; Wise. f; Weary, (;
Washer, &; Sellers 6.
WON HALF THE SERIES.
AIessrs. Frees and Zimmerman,
VINO went TO Cleveland, Saturday, for
the purpose of rolling some match
bowling games with two Cleveland
experts, won four out OF series of
eight games which were played. The
Cleveland players were named
Amann and Pierce.
SHOULD BE SUCCESSFUL.
Given right conditions, there still re
mains to be shown any reason why
n city base ball league should not III
highly successful in Akron during In,
coming or any other season. The cit,
has enough enthusiasts over tn,
game, and the crowds at the game,
which were played last year on IN
different grounds were large cnoug
10 make financially successful season
The members of the league which ha
just been formed are confident tina
they will have good season, an
there has been great deal of cnthu
siasm aroused In the city among pat
rons of the game.
The actual formation of all the team
remains TO be accomplished, as yet, bl
81 is predicted that the material whic
will make up the league teams wi
render those organizations not onl
able exponents of base bali, but wi
~ also leave them evenly enough matchC
To make seasons series of games
more than ordinary interest.
WILL THEY MEET?
Thus far. Terry McGoyern has n
permitted any one to come bctwc,
him and return match with "Younl
Corbett," who defeated the "Broo
iyn Terror" some time ago. AS "Youl
Corbettv challenged the winner Of Il
louisville fight, and ms Terry won th
light, there should be n meeting /
tween these two In n short time II
predicted, however, that young G,
betr' viii taste the sweets Of champlo
ship for some time longer, before g
dallgering bis title.
FITz AS REFEREE.
