Akron Carnival closes after three days of games and flights
Akron hosts its first street carnival with clear skies and a mix of shows and fair games. Highlights include Prof Winterringer’s acts, Whalen balloon ascents, a university runner Rex Smith winning a foot race, and a three-game baseball series against Elk Point and the National Bloomers, with Akron posting five and three defeats and a slender win over Elk Point in a later game.
