The resignation of President
n. r. Waters, of the South
End Athletic club. while 1t
stirred up great deal of confusion
and was the cause Of revolution in
the clubs methods Of doing business,
has almost come to be considered
closed incident, as far as its effect on
the conduct of affairs is concerned.
President George Klink; who sue
ceeded DR.. Waters, he having been
vice president, was happy choice
and is well liked by both the factions,
one of which could not bring itself
into accord with President Waters.
The club now centers its attention on
the base ball team and an occasional
quiet little entertainment. but there
will be a great deal more activity in
the club month from now than there
IL at the present time.
HOT WEATHER BOWLERS.
The members of the No Name club
of Cuyahoga Falls, held another bowl
ing contest at Silver lake, Tuesday
evening. The South Ends won over
the North Ends and the highest score
was made by Mr.. Irwin Loomis, who
scored 125 pins.
TALKING BOWLING ALREADY.
Already members of the local
bowling teams are looking forward
to the work Of the coming fall, and
there is every prospect that the com
ing winter will see the sport with
as many followers, at least, as it had
last winter.
Last season was, at that, one of the
biggest that the sport ever had in this
city, In spite of the fact that almost
In the start there was trouble over the
formation of a City league, and that
project never materialized The sew
eral alley leagues that were formed
later, however, more than took the
place of the one that was abandoned,
and the scores were bigger and the
games more numerous than they had
ever been before. The Peerless club
will soon be holding its annual sum
mer outings. This organization js one
Of the oldest and strongest mainstays
of the sport in the city.
A BALM FOR SORE HEARTS.
Members of most Of the local ath-
letic clubs. are agreed that the forma.
tion Of the City league and revival
of interest in base ball, was almost
their salvation, in view of the discon,
tent that has heen manifested over
the stringency of the laws governing
boxing In the State and operative il
2 this city. The South Ends have been
trying ever since last winter to give
a boxing show and they proceeded sue
cessfully up to the point where 1t was
necessary for them to get a permit
from the Mayor,--and there all pre-
paration stopped, for the Mayor re
fused steadfastly to comply with thell
wishes.
The North End club, the pioneer II
Akron as regards the giving of en-
tertainments, has likewise been balk
ed, and all the shows that have beer
given by either organization, whlcl
contained boxing had to be prlvat
and for members only. Some of tn,
younger clubs, when they formed
depended on boxing shows as metho,
of raising money with which to bull,
mp and grow, and they also were dis
appointed. Turning, in their disap
pointment, they have been solaced b.

It is probably that the coming fal
and winter will bring forth something
that will produce trlumphs enougl
TO kill the memory of the past.
ABOUT SIMMs.
Simms is once more preparing t
battle against what has seemed, 70
some time past to be fate, and IN
kind fate. at that Captain Bond
