Alabama yielded place to New

At the mention of Judge Par

.RAUCH IS SELECTED
AS ATTELLS OPPONENT
Clever Featherweights Matched to
Box Ten Rounds in
indianapolis.

Abe Attell, of San Francisco, and Maui
rice Rauch. of Chicago, have been matched
by the Indianapolis Athletic Club to meet
in ten-round bout for a decision, at the
Auditorium polo rink one week from to-
night. The match has been hanging fire
since Attell and Forbes boxed to a draw
in this city a couple of weeks ago. Attell
made such a favorable impression with
those who saw him box Forbes that the
club decided to arrange another match for
him in the near future Several men were
considered as opponents and the club fin
ally decided to select Rauch. The Chicago
man has a very good record and is one of
the best men in his class. They are signed
to meet at 122 pounds ringside. Rauch is
twenty-four years of age and during his
ring career has fought draws with Harry
Forbes. Harry Harris. Tommy Feltz Buddy
Ryan, Clarence Forbes, Freckles OBrien,
Jack OKeefe. Casper Leon Joe Cherry and
Kaje King. He has met O'Keefe several
times and always secured draw with him.
Rauch has beaten such good men as Gus
Bezenah, Eddie Dwyer, George Munroe
Danny DouGherty, Kid McFadden and
others.
Attell and Rauch are now training In
Chicago. Rauch will arrive in Indianapolis
the middle of this week TO complete his
work here, and Attell will come here on
Saturday Sunday. The club will arrange
good preliminary bouts.

WILL FINE OWNERS WHEN
TRASH IS IN EASEMENTS
Half of Money, by Provisions of
Ordinance, Will Go to the
Firemen's Pension Fund.
VISIT THEATERS AGAIN

A quiet session of the Council is promised
for this evening, with nothing unusual In
sight, and nothing out Of the ordinary
promised or expected.
The ordinance introduced at the last
meeting by Councilman Casper, providing
for fire protection In theaters. and the
rather drastic provisions of which have
been criticised on several hands. will not be
reported this evening. Councilman Expert,
chairman of the special committee TO which
the ordinance was referred, stated last
night that the committee desires more time
TO consider the matter and 10 make more
thorough examinations of conditions I'm To-
cal theateTs before IL makes a report.
Councilman Casper will take another
turn at originating legislation this even
ing, when he proposes to introduce an ordi-
nance forbidding the accumulation of
trash. such as empty boxes. packing and
the like, in the Easements of business and
manufacturing houses This practice, Mr.
Casper believes, is the cause OF many fires.
A heavy penalty will be attached with the
novel provision that one-half of the pen
atty, when paid by a convicted person,
shall go To the flreman's pension fund.
"A great many of the recent basement
fires" said Mr.. Casper last night, could
not be dealt with at all by the department
but were simply allowed TO burn out. / be-
lieve this ordinance will make such a condi-
ton of affairs impossible. And | think the
payment of one-half the penalty into the
firemens pension fund is good provision. -

WELLES WILL TRY FOR

Rome Respess's Wonderful
Splinter Is Entered in the

CINCINNATI, Jan. 17.-While specu;a-
ton as to whether Waterboy, McChesney,
Hermis or Africander will be next years
champion race horse is going the round, it
is possible that none of the contenders
named will carry off the honor, but that
Dick Welles will get the glory.
Dick Welles, holder of the worlds record
for six furlongs and one mile, which he
made last year over the Western courses.
will be sent on longer Journeys during the
coming season. The great son of King
Eric is now wintering at Rome Respess's
farm, near Covington, and is reported to
be in good condition.
The Western champion has the reputa-
ton of being a sprinter and it is his own
er's ambition TO prove that he has horse
which can go a route and carry weight.
If Rome Respess believes that Dick Welles
will do what is required of him the ma
jority OF the Western people will agree
with him, he is considered to be one of
the ablest trainers and best judges or
thoroughbreds in the country.
1t is only natural that the horse Is
classed a Splinter, for the reason that
he never raced over a distance OF more
than one mile and one-eighth, and TO the
average Western horseman it looked that,
even with his wonderful speed, he was at
his best once around the circuit. Another
fact that caused comment was that the
colt was not entered in the American
Derby last year. He was in good condition
and seemed to have a chance 10 win that
rich event.
Ii is said that Respess was unable to get
the colt ready to go a mile and half, and
rather than risk defeat he decided TO pre-
serve his speed and race him over the
shortest distances during the season OF 1903.

the Western public, the colt is entered IN
the Brighton handicap in which event he
will meet some of the best handicap horses
i'm the East, many of which have already
shown that they can go the distance and

This is the only big event in which the
Western colt is entered so far. and although
il is too early for a prediction, he will have

.ELLISON'S FINE LOT
OF YOUNG RACE HORSES
kindergarten Band Is Voted to Be
Possessed of Bright
Prospects.

MEMPHIS. Tenn. Jan. 17.-Taken collec-
lively, C. r. Ellison, the plunger, owner
and bookmaker, owns what horsemen re-
gard at Montgomery as the Understanding
collection of Juvenile racers to be found
hereabouts. Although little has been at
tempted in a way of speed since the young
sters became two-year-olds, the Ellison
kindergarten band is voted to be possessed
of as bright prospects for purse and stake
victories as any one group ever housed here.
Ellison has again spent lavishly in the
formation of his 1904 two-year-old timber.
Annually the blonde plunger invests in the
neighborhood of $4,000 for yearling timber.
and he has reaped the profits of paying
dearly for precious horseflesh. as the win
nings of the stable last season paid for the
risk taken in untried racers. while his bets
will amount to considerable over.
The names of Ellison's two-year-olds
which will be campaigned at Memphis, then
at Kansas City or Louisville and thence to
the Chicago tracks. are:

FORBES HAS A BACKER
TO MEET ABE ATTELl
New York Sportsman Says He Is
Ready to Bet So, 500 on
the Clever Boxer.
FIFTEEN ROUND BOUT
Forbes Is Eager to Get on Longer
Match Than Ten Rounds
with Attell.
ROUND BOUT

CHICAGO, Jan. T-A Lippe. just re-
turned TO the city from New York and Bos-
ton and one of the. best known of the en-
thusiastic fight followers of the country,
comes out with the announcement that he
is prepared to back Harry Forbes, the Chi
cago feather weight, against Abe Attell
for any amount up to $500. Part of this
is AIS own money and he is willing to
take a chance with it if Ike Bloom. At
tells manager, is willing TO go along in the
same manner. This is the way Lippe states
his case:
81 have understood all along that Attell
has excellent backing to go against any Of
the little fellows and that he is especially
DESTROYS of winning the legitimate feather
weight championship at 122 pounds. Now,
this is a fine chance for him. If we can
get a club TO offer purse for a meeting,
say, of fifteen rounds or more, then 1 will
give Ike Bloom a side bet OF $500 that
Forbes wins. 1 am not particular where
the men do battle as long as they are we'll
paid for the fight.
las far as the general conditions for
such battle are concerned 1 do not think
we would have much trouble in getting to-
gether. OF course, / would want we'll
known referee. and as each of the men
knows what the other can do in the weight
line there would not be any hitch about
that part of it.
"Attell tells In a recent statement said TO
have been written by him that the only rea-
son he did not knock Forbes out in Indian
apolis was because he was afraid OF being
arrested. This Is rot. 1t will take stronger
puncher than Attell TO put Forbes to the
floor for the count. / regard Harry as a
legitimate opponent for Attell as long as
the California boy keeps on insisting that
he is the champion of the legitimate feath-
er weights at 122 pounds"
Forbes has some pretty strong ideas on
this subject himself and fully concurs in
what Lippe says about Attell. Harry is
eager to get on a longer match than ten
rounds with Attell and says ne will not
stand In the way Of accepting any reason
able purse that is hung up.
incidentally, Forbes thinks that when Ben
Jordan gets TO this country he will be the
first man to fight the Englishman. Harry
said a few nights ago:
Jordan does not know what he is going
up against when he tackles the so-called
feather weights OF America. He is able TO do
122 pounds nicely. and as a legitimate feath-
TO do the same thing. He will find that
there are mighty few of the men who would
draw with him able to do lower than 126 or
12S pounds. I know that he is a great
sticker on the weight proposition. This is
going TO cause a lot of wrangling when Ben
gets TO this side: you see If IL don't. In
the meantime, i am going out after the
Englishmap as hard as lean. and think
1 can get match on with him..
