DulIdtO.
Buchtel Academy basket ball team
was defeated by Canton High school,
Saturday night, at Grouse gymnasium,
by n score of IL to IA. 1t was fast
game throughout and showed that
Canton has not forgotten her cham
pionship gait of last year. The home
team worked harder and played q bet
ter game than at any other time this
season, but its best was immeasura-
bly, poorer than Canton's game, hence
the lop.sided result.
Canton was well represented by
rooters, and Buchtel Academy's back
ers were also out in force. The line
up was as follows:
Academy-Washer and Rohrbacher,
right forward; ROstock, left forward;
Weary, center: Washer and Knight,
right guard; Rohrbacher and Kruger,
left guard.
The schedule for the week. in the
Howard st. pool tournament, will be
as follows:
Monday-Seybold and Viers; Tues
day--Lore and Rhodes; Wednesday,
Wilson and Clark; Thursday-W
and Brown; Friday-Garrett and Ock-
erman.
BARBERTON TONIGHT.
Tonight will be the time OF the
Barberton athletic show for which an
excellent program was arranged some
time ago. The boxing and wrestling
numbers should be excellent, and the
arrangements are for a large crowd.
HOME AGAIN.
The Akron bowlers who were at Buf-
falo, have all returned to this city, and
while they failed to be among the best
bowlers there, they acquired greater
and broader knowledge of the game,
and an acquaintance with the lead
ers In the sport all over the country.
Some of the Akron men made good
scores, and in one of the games Moore
Of the Peerless team, started out and
made n great fight for an individual
prize. Up into the eighth frame he
maintained the lead and set clip that
would have given him higher score
than the one which took the trophy,
but In the last two frames he became
too anxious and lost his best chance.
Frees, of the Grands, won n prize.
A great deal of interest was taken
In tho work OF the American Bowllng
Congress, and the Akron visitors also
paid general visit to the points of
interest about Buffalo, going to Mag
ara Falls, Fort Erie, Ont, etc. All
are agreed that 1t was great trip
ARE BROKE EVEN.
Art Simms says that he broke about
even on the fight ut Detroit. His
share Of the receipts was 500. and
his training ana other expenses
amounted 10 about the same sum, nj
most TO Il dollar. Slmms says thai
he believes that he made more friends
by hundreds, than Dufy did by til,
hight. IT Is generally known that Ar
fought a game battle, and the lust
ness OF the decision Is more than q
question.
Art states that he has received an
other offer from prospective man
ager, but he Is too well satisfied witt
Matheson TO think OF changing. Mathe
son Is very well satisfied with hi,
new protege, and Will do his bes
TO furnish matches in as large a mum
Der as possible.
LAST CHANCE,
