Plan on Foot to Hold Contests Between Cities.Promoters of boxing in this section of the country ate planning to hold inter-city contents between Akron, Canton, Pittsburg and Cleveland, and probably New York.Local followers of the sport declare; that they will give immediate aid to the project as the material in nearlyevery class is good, and the men arecapable of making the pace which larger cities will set.The proposition came to light Friday when the Akron A. C. announced that on April 20, Danny Dunn, New York featherweight, would box Clyde Leyraastcr in Akron. Leymaster is j one of the cleverest boxers Akron has ever produced. He is gradually work- j Ing his way to the standing once held by Gus Ruhlin and Art Simms, natives of the Rubber city.If the plan goes through Canton will be one of the leading members of the league on account of excellent j facilities for taking care of patrons.Looking over the list of men who could be entered the mention of tile names of Bill Vliet, Bill Stahler, young Jones and several others is enough to make the local fan feel confident that the city would be well represented In the welterweight, lightweight and featherweight classes.
