WHITE CLAMS AMI'S

TITLE. MORRIS CAN

OUTPUCH

"Jack White claims the feather weight championship of the world." This was the arrow Fred Gilmore unlossed from his ciuiver and aimed at Abe Attell last night. Fred s action Is the result of Abraham's calling off his match with White at New Orleans next Sunday. Fred has a right to be angry, because Abie ducked out of the clash with the good" Chicago boxer without making a logical excuse. He was de1 , Wl . cidedly unfair in his dealings. First he agreed to weigh 122 pounds with White at 10 o'clock in the morning and Slarl ngnung at 6. men ne swucnea to ringside weight and forced White to agree. ,,The climax came Saturday when Abe announced that White would have to scale 122 ri-ngside while he was to come in at catchweights. Gilmore could not stand for that and so the match was called off. "White deserves the title," said GilI more last night, "because Attell is a champion who refuses to defend his MY HAVE TWO Organized baseball -may have two "outlaw" leagues to fight instead of one. Formal announcement of a new circuit to include eight of the largest cities in the middle west was made last night by William C. .Niesen, own er of the Gunthers, and John T. Pow ers, the former Gary baseball promoter. The latest circuit is not a part of the United States league which east ern "outlaws" are launching. It is to be made up of eight cities selected from Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Louisville. Indianapolis. f Columbus.-Cincinnati, Pittsburg. CleveJolmson and Flynn

honors. Do you know- that Abe has not engaged in a twenty-round bout to a decision since September, 1908, when he boxed Owen Moran twenty-three rounds to a draw on the coast? That is a "long ' while ago, pugillstically speaking. Attell simply will not box long bouts to a decision any more. He prefers ten rounds at catch weights with no verdict at the end. He can be champion forever at that rate. "" "Now I Claim the title for Jack White and will permit him to defend it against anybody, over a route, too. The public wants chamipons who give challengers a chance. Attell has not done that for over three years, expect in a' fifteen-round bout with Frankie Conley. He' simply crawled out of the New Orleans fight, and he deserves severe citiclsm tor his continued refusals to box." " Tom McCarey, out Los Angeles way, who has Attell and Johnny Kllbane booked for Feb. 22, and the New York club which puts Abe on with K. O. Brown next week, may have forced him to cancel the White fight, fearing an Injury or a defeat. But It was hard on White, who has trained a month lor the mill. Jim Flynn sprang one last night which will surely arouse the ire of John Artha Johnson. The fireman came out flat footed with the statement that Carl Morris was a harder hitter than the man who whipped Jeffries. "I fought Johnson eleven rounds when only a middleweight. He -weigh ed 220," said Flynn. "He did not have much and failed to knock me out, though the referee stopped the fight in the eleventh round. I took a few solid punches from Morris that night I beat him in New Tork. And, believe me, that fellow can hit. His blows carry decedly more punishing power than Johnson's. Jack may not like that, but I ought to know. Flynn leaves tomorrow for Toronto, where he will box Al Kubiak or Al Williams before Tom Flannagan's club i on Jan. 17. land and Detroit. St. Louis and Kansas City are practically assured now. The scheme is one which does not necessitate the use of millions of dollars, but can be made a success with a moderate outlay of cash. The magnates are to be the leading semi-pro club owners of the various cities. This will give the circuit parks good enough for the first season as a starter. The best of the semi-pro players will be utilized and any blgieague stars, not under contract who care to cast their lot with the league will be offered liberal inducements.

"Daily baseball, with eight first-class I teams, will ba our aim." said TCiesen 1

last night. "That the time is ripe for a rebellion against the trust methods of organized baseball is apparent. The semi-pro owners are rapidly being driven out of business by the actions of the national commission and big league magnates. The recent leglslatlon forbidding exhibition games with semi-pro teams in league territory was a hard blow at the independents. That the big magnates fear an outbreak is plain, as recent legislation has' been of a nature to restore peace and good feeling among all parties to the national agreement. In other words, the baseball trust in time of peace is preparing for war." Niesen and Powers are'- to communication with the leading semi-pro magnates of the west. A preliminary meeting -will be called for the near future, probably for next Saturday, at which time the initial steps or organization will be taken. Powers leaves next week for Columbus, Louisville, Indianapolis and Pittsburg to look over the Held In those cities. He is confident that by the time for th onlnr nf h J

I John Roseink. owner of Mcfirw' park, the biggest semi-pro ball ground in Detroit, reached Chicago last nieht to confer with President Witman of he United States league, who was supposed to be in Chicago. He failed to locate Witman and announced that he would hold a conference todav with Niesen and Powers relative, to casting his lot -with the newest born of the circuits. He says his park can be I made to accommodate from 10,000 to 15,000 people. It is within fifteen min utes ride of the heart of Detroit.

The visitors player a'plucky game and held Wabash until near the end of the game, when the Little Giants scored several field goals in quick succession. Coach HaTper's men showed good teamwork, despite the fact that the regular lineup has not been determined. Captain. Lambert, Eglln and Ellis scored nearly all the points for the scarlet, while Byrd and Slutz starred for the visitors. Late in the game Harper made several substitutions.

The Boston terrier has found things dull in the east and wants to mingle with some of the best 135-pounders out this way. He would be a great card with Ritchie. If the Jan. 1 showr in the Indiana town, in which Ernie Zanders and Morrie Bloom fight the windup, goes through without a hitch. Promoter Joe Simpson will make a determined effort to sign up Ritchie and Murphy for the 25th.
