SIMMS WON FROM FRAZIERDanbury, o., Oct.. 22.—In u terrific twenty-round fight here Inst night, Art Simms of Akron, won the decision over George Frazier of I,o-I rain. The fight, though interesting was one-sided from start to finish, as Simms in the first few rounds showed , himself the master. In the twentieth round the Lorain lad was knocked down four times, but always managed to conic u| before the count and when i»he gong rang he was bare-j ly able to stagger into his corner. Only the wonderful strength and sameness of Frazier saved him from a knockout.%The bout was held in Lanier’s hall, a small building, where benches and a string of chairs around the ring held about 300 spectators. Senv fclment was about evenly divided. Frazier was at a great disadvantage; in this fight as he was against a veteran in experience Simms used his loft arm in straight jabs almost exclusively and kept continually scab- f bing it into his opponent’s left eye.! This member at the close of the battle was a varicolored and mounfi-llke affair which bore no resemblance to an eye.J The fight should have gone toSimms earlier, for he is strong anda good ring general. His opponentis young, lacking In experience andclumsy His best recomendation ishis gameneia.Many Elyria sports were in attendance. •
