 In meeting Buddy Ryan at the Amer ican Athletic club, Chicago, on Mon day night, Abe Attell, the California featherweight is going far out of his class to get on beeting. Attell at the best is but a bantamweigh as bantam weights go at the present time, but Ryan is almost a lightweight, weigh ing 132 pounds.
 Owing to the victory of Joe Chcyon- ski over Frank Childs at Chicago the other night a number of clubs want his services. Choyinski has accepted one of the many offers and has signed articles to meet George Gardner of Lowell. The mill is to be held at Chi cago on December 9 and will be for six rounds. Gardner has just arrived in Chicago from the Windy City and Is in superb fettIe.
 'sKid'' Ashe, the Cincinnati negro, is so anxious to show his speed in Chi. cago that he has made this proposi- ton: 'sI will meet both Sammy Phil lips and Henry Senter. both acknowI- edged tough men, iii the safe ring, and beat them both. Furthermore, 1 do not ask a rest between bouts, as has been the rule in other double affairs of this kind. I will take on one of them and let the other come right on, no rest between the battles. If my fight ing does not please the crowd I want no money, and my share can be given to any worthy charity
 A meeting of the representatives of Young Corbett and Terry McGovern will be held this afternoon in New York for the purpose of selecting a battle-ground for the fight already ar- ranged between the pair. From pres ent indications the Southern A. G. of Louisville may eventually be chosen. Tim Hurst, in the interest of Bob Gray of the Louisville club, will be on hand to make a bid for the encounter. The recent decision of Judge Toney of Louisville dissolving the injunction against the fight has given Gray con- fidence that he can safely pull off the encounter Corbett and McGoyern feel almost sure that the mill will take place and to this end Corbett has be- gun training in gymnasium in New York. In addition to the Hayes Val ley A. C., the Yosemite A. c. of San Francisco is also after the fight. Tim Kennedy, the clubs eastern represen- tative. says that he will be in line with a proposal for the scrap.
