! Abe Atten and Eddie Toy will meet n
! ti,e!T brotherhood conference AT san Fran

| twenty-round so. irasinuch as the two
/ have been training and stable mates for
months past. have spared with each other
daily. and have represented each other in n
| managerial capacity. it is hard TO see what
attracts the Frisco ring followers N the
| bout.
SO far as the result goes. Attell will win
without trouble If the affair is fought any
where near on The level. Toy has no par
ticuar ability at any stage OF the game and
Abe should be able TO outspar him and 10
do practically what he plea<es II the bout
Results in anything but 4 victory fo- Az
tell. whole lot of question marks can be
arranged after the report OF the result.
one bout which is of some promise Will
precede the go. This is a sen;windup be
tween Monte -Attell. Abe's brother. and
mississippi the little negro whom joe
Macias has been touting 50 industriousiy Of
late. Mississippi is said TO be a second
George Dixon. If this IS 50, he should dis
pose OF the younger AtteIl.
'.Toothpick'' Kelly and Muldoon McDon-
aid VIII meet In a sort of preliminary.
Neither man has much to commend him al
though the secretly of material in the
heavyweight division caused Kelly to he
regarded as considerable factor in the ring
recently.
Terry McGovern has set up his training
camp in California and has started work
vigorously for his battle with Young Cor
bett. due to be fought March 81. At last
it appears as II the two could get together
and this contamination is deyoutly wished
for by followers of the ring.
Young Corbett has started work and the
two little fellows ought to be in good form
when they enter the ring. The champion
was greatly chagrinned over his showing
with Hanlon. but has not endeavored to
make any excuses beyond simply stating
ma he W. Of lima
THIS fact was apparent to every one at the
ringsfde.
II he meets McGovern with the hope of
victory. however. he will have to be in his
best shape and he knows it. Terry will
work as he never worked before to regain
his lost championship. and for the first time
in the history OF pugilism a defeated cham
pion is likely to be a favorite over his con-
queror III their second meeting. McGoyern
is more widely known than Young Cor
bett. and this fact. combined with the re-
spective work OF the two against their re-
cent opponents. is likely to send Terry into
the ring a favorite.
ultimately regained his lost laurels. al
though several have come out with claims
for lost title; after the rightful holders
pions have tried to win back their title. but
none have ever succeeded In regaining 1t
from the man who wrested it from them.
has the defeated man been favorite in the
second go; but 1t appears as II McGovern
was going to occupy this position in batting
on the fight.
Wagering already is at even money. in
what little betting is reported as having
been closed The Eastern sports will all
back MoGovern. Their money is. likely TO
make him favorits. Young Corbett did not
impress the Frisco sports particularly OH
account of his showing with Hanlon. al
though they admit that he was out OF
trim: so II does not appear as II he would
receive over much backing in that quarter.
All this will combine to make McGovern
favorite.
Danny Daugherty and Andy Tokell will
fight six rounds in Philadelphia tomorrow
evening. Danny is a clever boxer, but II
looks il he had mighty tough game in the
English lad. The latter is a roughing, slug
ging sort of n fighter. and this kind of an
opponent always ruffed Danny's sensibili-
ties. 1t appears as If Andy had a shade The
better of the go on form,
