Working in Harmony.
Louisville Expects The "Corbett-
McGovern" Fight.

The South End Athletic club will
hold a smoker, as soon as is conven-
lent, after the show to be given by
the West Ends. The clubs of the city
are working in better harmony at this
time than they have ever done be-
fore. The rivalry between organza-
tions, while as keen as it ever was, is
of the most friendly kind possible, and
slurs such as were formerly heard
from members of one club, about an.
other, are no longer TO be heard.
The North Ends smoker will be
given for the benefit of the base ball
team. and will be applied directly to the
uniforming of the team. The formation
Of the base ball league has helped to
bring the clubs together on several
lines.

TO Barney Furey, for they were the
first to break the long list of victories
which Art had been piing up FOR
years, on his way to championship
fight.
return matches and he met Duffy the
second time, though the result was not
pleasing 10 the Akron fighter or his
friends. Simms' fight with Dick Green
at Hot Springs, tonight, Is considered
one of the most unimportant battles he
has had, and it Is expected that he
