Of the Grand alleys, states that he Is
well pleased with the outlook, and he

from the O'Neils, in the Grand alley
tournament, last night, and are now
tied with the Grands for first place In
the contest. There were some remark
able scores, Toltz, rolling two double
centuries, with an average of POI 2-3,
and Blank making 243, the highest for
this years tournament. The Mar0ons
and Dagues will meet tonight and the
game will be called at $3.50.
UNHAPPY GUS.
Gus Rubin grows more and more
restless as he stays In Akron day by
day, and has no prospect of getting II
match. He wants to get back into
the game, and more than anything
else he says he wants to prove to the
American public that he fought II
game fight against Jeffries. The re-
cord of his past, he says, should be
enough to clear him of any charge
of having laid down when lie met the
champion.

TEAM.
Cleveland curriers' are said to have
several strong teams, and the sport
there has received great deal of at.
tention this winter. Matches are play,
ed almost every day while the ic,

lieyed that the project can meet will

are waiting for the return OF warn
weather, when they believe the pro

The membership is growing steadily
aud the club promises soon TO be
leader in local athletic affairs.
The fact that there is a division o
interest between the club and tn
members of the fast foot bali team
which represented East Akron last sea

mars the brightness OF the clubs fu
ture, although 1t is expected that tn
difference Will not make any chang
In the plans now under discussion.
