Abe Wires His Terms for a!

Fight in New York on February 18.

New York, Feb. 9. It now looks as though the two greatest little fighters of their weight in the world, Jem Dris

coll of England and Abe Attell of California, will meet here in New York

after all.

Attell wanted the date for the first week in March, but as Driscoll leaves

these shores on Feb. 20 this was im

possible. The following wire from the

champion has been received:

"New Orleans, La., Feb. 7. New

York Journal: Make Driscoll match

Feb. 18; weight to be 124 at 6 o'clock; Charley White to referee. Have ar

ticles mailed to Dayton, O. Leave here

Monday. Wire at once if match Is on. "ABE ATTELL."

Driscoll has the battle of his life on here Wednesday when he meets

Leach Cross. Even though Driscoll

should lose It will not hurt his popu

larity here, as he Is fighting the East Side dentist at 135 pounds, which gives

the latter an advantage of about nine

pounas, a iremenaous nanaicap for a

little man.

CRITICISES CLABBY

Chicago Sporting Writer

Talks of Jimmy. Says Ed. Smith in The American: "It takes but a short time for a

young fighter to get tne neap mucn

talk habit, and Jimmy Clabby has got

it for fair. A young man, who may

be said to be Just breaking into the

game, Jimmy has started to tell what

he will do to this fellow and that one

quite as if he had known these pros 'pective opponents all their lives.

The latest bit of noise that the Mil

waukee man has let out is that he will

figt Johnny Thompson and guarantee to remove the 'Sycamore Cyclone' from

the path of Battling Nelson just out

of friendship to the lightweight cham

pion, with whom he used to box, he

says.

"just now Clabby is hooked up with

Dick Fitzpatrick of this city for a scrap

at Hammond, Ind., the middle of this month and he had better get into the

best shape possible, for Dick will give

him the battle of his life. Jimmy can

find plenty of material among the wel

terweights without picking out a light

weight for his slurs. James will need all of his wind when he tackles the

young Irishman from the south side, and if he cleans him up he will have

some license to talk."

PULLIAM Ifj TILT

WITH cub on

A merry tilt between President Pul-

liam of the National league and President Murphy of the world's champion

Cubs, with the former as the aggressor, promises to retrieve next week's major league meetings In this city

from the tame tabby stagnation into

which baseball schedule meetings have

retrograded in recent years.

Pulliam's grievance apparently is the failure of the Cub magnate to express a due measure of gratitude for the league executive's unsuccessful efforts

to accomplish the reconciliation be tween Manager Chance and Mr. Mur phy, a feat which a Chicago newspa

per brought to a successful issue last Saturday. In the coming battle of words there also will be a revival of the talk of the $10,00 bonus which President Murphy expressed a willingness to present to his players for winning their third straight pennant in

case the national commission did no

object. These highly entertaining features !n an otherwise tedious horizon are Indicated by the revival of more or less ancient correspondence which reached Chicago yesterday and of which the chief novelty was the possibility that President Pulliam will have the backing of President Herrmann of the national commission in his verbal bout.

More than make up for the little incon

venience you may experience in getting here.

Frank Smith Will Send $50

Worth of Coppers.

Pittsburg, Pa Feb. 9. Pitcher

Frank Smith of the White Sox, who was fined $50 by the National com

mission for playing against the "outlaw" Logan Square team last fall, said today he would send the money to

Chairman Gary Herrmann In pennies Smith hates to part with all that mon

ey and says the only way to avenge himself on the commission for that body's separating him from it is to send it thus and gloat over Gary's

trouble in counting it and toting it to

the bank.

Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 9. Hans Wagner will be in the Pirate lineup again this year, but it may be rather expensive for the club before the big fellow

puts his "John Henry" to the contract. At present writing Wagner and President Dreyfuss are only about $2,500 apart with the odds favoring Hans to

get the $2,500 in dispute.

From an unimpeachable source it

was learned today that Hans demands

a $15,000 contract for the season or

about $5,000 more than he received last year. Personally he will not mention the figure he demands and puts off all

inquirers with: "Well, I'm pretty well

fixed and don't have to play if I don't

get my price."

Dreyfuss today quieted all rumors

that Wagner would play with the Pir

ates, declaring that Wagner would

play. Dreyfuss cringed a little when

he was asked about the $15,000, but he answered "the price he demands is

not going to keep us from getting

him."

Leach or Haytt will play center field

early in the season as Roy Thomas

has signed to coach the University of

Pittsburg baseball squad. Pitcher

Leever has not signed as yet, and Drey

fuss does not know how to explain it.

Leever. Wagner and Clarke are the

only Pirates who have not signed con

tracts, but word was received from

Clarke today that he would sign when

he reports for practice.
