USED SINfNIS' NAME.
According to Art Simms, and devel-
opments as received from New Bright
on, Conn, Arts reputation has been
used for the purpose of advertising
and making money, by the club there.
A fight between Simms and George
McI'adden was advertised, although
no effort was made to have Simms Il
party to the conflict.
Then. at the last minute, the man
agcr stepped on the stage and an
nounced that Simms had injured
himself at Hot Springs, and could not
appear. Curlcy Supplies was an
nounced to fight in his place. Nc
Faddcn knocked supplies out in two
rounds simms is indignant that his
name was connected with such
fiasco.
SIMMS WILL BE BUSY.
Art Smms is more than well pleased
with his manager Mr.. Bert Mathe-
son, of Buffalo, who has evidently
taken an honest interest in the Ak
ron man, and will try hard to guide
him to the top of the pugilistic heap.
Art has had some unfortunate expo
riences with managers in the past,
hence his appreciation of the services
of Mr.. Matllcson.
Art now has two prospective fights
In view. 1clegrams have been re-
ceived from Toronto, Canada, asking
If Simms will make better than 133
pounds, at 3 o'clock for n fight with
Bill Ryan. Another wire from Boston
asks IL Simms will make 1913 or 1870
at 3 o'clock for Il fight with John
Hamilton, April 80.
In both cases Simms has wired con
ditional acceptance.
Matheson Is trying hard to match
Art for Il fight with Young Corbett"
at Fort Erie, and Manager Jack Her
man. of the First Erie club, seems to
think such match not by any means
impossible.
