Governor Gillett of Califor
nia Signs Walker-Otis Bill Yesterday.
Sacramento, Cal., Feb. 20. Racing in
California was, given its knockout blow yesterday when Governor Gillett affixed his signature to the Walker-Otis bill which makes race track gambling a felony punitshable by imprisonment for a period of not less than thirty days nor more than one year. The governor had the bill in his possession nine days when he placed his name on it, making it a law. His delay in signing the measure hed aroused a little hope In racing circles that he would kill it by the pigeon hole method, that is, forget to sign it in ten days, as required by law. Racing In this state will become Illegal sixty days from today. The management of the Emeryville track announced today that its meeting would end May 1, or thirty days before its allotment of dates expired.
New York, Feb. 20. Abe Attell, America's little feather-weight cham
pion, found his master last nignt jn the shifty Jem Driscoll of England. The elusive Britisher treated Attell to the
same dose he has been handing out to all the lesser lights, except for the fact that he fought a more careful battle and his margin was not so great. In no round did Attell stand out, while half a dozen periods were so clearly In favor of Driscoll through clean hitting and general effectiveness that Abe's most ardent admirers were calling loudly for a draw at the end. Once Attell went sprawling to his knees and again he crashed into the ropes through the force of his own
misdirected blows, Driscoll making
quick sidesteps out of danger. No one has before this time made Attell ap
pear foolish in the ring and Driscoll's feat makes him outstandingly the best boxer that has been seen here, and
probably the best in the world.

Edward W. Smith, in the American last evening, had something to say about Jimmy Clabby, the Hammond welter, and Dick Fitzpatrlck, and incidentally he stated that there, has been a forfeit posted for a $500 wager between the two fighters, which Is to be decided in a twenty-round bout at New Orleans or some other equally desirable place. Smith has the following to say: "They started something among the waiter-weights out in Hammond Wednesday night when Jimmy Clabby was given the decision over Dick Fitzpatrlck. The decision was all right, as most of Malachy Hogan's are, but the result was far from satisfactory to the Chicago people who are behind FItz. "As a result of the merry badinage
and more or less cheerful quips and
wheezes that were passed back and
forth between the managers of the men, a new match of twenty rounds
it was only ten rounds In Hammond
was made, and forfeits of $30 each posted with the Chicago American to
guarantee a side wager of $500 each.
The weight conditions ar eto be the same as before 142 pounds at 3
o clock. The money is to remain up
fo rthirty days pending the bidding
of some club for the match. It is un
derstood that New Orleans, where
Clabby fought Jimmy Gardner, will
make a pay for the meeting. dabby I'nmarked.

gainsaying this statement, for Matty
himself Is authority for if.
" 'Saj', cousin, Dick will never have
a better chance in his life to slip me something than he had last night," replied the pleasant-faced young man fro mthe brewery city. 'I've got Dick pegged right now and the next time we meet he won't have it nearly as he did last evening. Better keep him in the best of shape, because he will need everything he has got when we hook up for the second run in.' "Frank Mulkern, the erstwhile millionaire newsboy of Milwaukee,-put up the coin for Clabby and Matty did the same for his brother. Opinion Divided. "There seems to be a division of opinion as to Ciabby's showing against Fitzpatrlck. Many are of the opinion that he showed up In grand style considering that he was a man known to be one of the best defensive boxers in the country- Many are of the opinion, too. that Dick's failure to show more aggressiveness undoubtedly robbed him of the decision."
LEWIS HIS IIS GAME
(Special to The Times.) East Chicago. Ind., Feb. 20. The
Lewis basket-ball team won their game last night, defeating the Chicago
Heights or Bloom township (111.)
high school team by a score of S5 to 16. Without Jackson of Gary, who played with the local team, the game would have been a failure, he scoring 17 of
the Lewis team's points. Elliott, forward for the Chicago Height's team, must be accredited with 12 points out of their 16, while Karash, a substitute player, scored two excellent field goals in the second half.
The game was one of persistent foul
ing on both siaes, ana K-eieree iieintz
let very few pass uncalled. East Chi
cago, notwithstanding the fact that the
game was played on their own floor,
fouled much more than the visitors, but
had the Illinois boys clearly outclassed
in point of gol throwing, both from field and the 15-foot line. The attend
ance at the rink was rather small, ow
ing to the game not being sufficiently advertised, but the Illinois team were
greatly pleased with the treatment ac corded them. The lineup was as follows. E. Chicago. Chgo. Heights.
