MGOyERN AND ATTEL.

Here is Manager PoIIok's com. munication on bout between Abe Attell and Terry McGovern:
 Now that the Battling Nelson Aurelio Herrera-Terry McGorern pugilistic pot has boiled down a bit. and Messrs Nolan and Humphreys have adjourned their mutual admirs- ton convention. it's about time to put in an oar for the one person in the world who is really entitled to a lit- tie consideration from any and all of these three fistic stars.
 This person is Abe Atteli. the featherweight champion. Both Sei- son and Herrera have had a taste of the dIminutiye Abe and neither of them is breaking his neck In an ef- fort to repeat the dose. There vas hardly a man at the recent Nelson McGOvern battle who did not express the opinion that Attell had 'dons more with Nelson In one round than McGovern did in the entire sin.
 "On the strength of this AtteIl is certainly entitled to a match with McGovern- He sill box the Brook lyn terror any number of rounts- from one to twenty. and there vont be a whole lot of trouble fn agreeing on the weight question.
 Let Terryis noisy pilot come back to earth for a minute. and If he real Iy wants to match the Brookfrnlfe. take on the one man. above all oth- CTS. uh0 is entitled to meet him- AttslL"

THE PUGILISTS
NOLAN A GOOD JUDGE OF THE
 FIGHTERS. He Knows Why He Matched Nelson and Herrera-Attell After
 McGovern.

Billy Nolan, manager of Battling Nelson, is one of the shrewcest judges of fighters in the country, and notwithstanding all the comment and criticism of him from the coast, the fact that he has a wide knowledge. born of experience of the physical man, makes his opinion one of great value.
 While Nolan is managing Nelson, he unhesitatingly pays tribute to the ability of Herrera, who is matched to fight the Dane shortly.
 'I think l know Aurelio Herrera. .' said Nolan, yesterday, "as we'll as any one in the country.
 Eddie Santry, Benny Yanger and Kid Broad took the count of ten from the Mexican's dangerous right. and these boys were in their prime then.
 Nelson was the only one to stop Herrera's winning stride. and this battle was a hummer from the first to the twentieth round.
 The Mexican was a strong favor ite. and at least s100.O00 could have been cleaned up that day by any one game enough to back the Dane. In fact, I have never seen so much money in view in my life at a ring side. The specials that were run full of strong Nelson men. They bet all they had. but the Butte crowd had too much money and covered every cent in sight and were hollering for more. but the Nelson men were all up.
 Herrera had the reputation there of dropping every man he met when he landed that awful right. In the fourth round the Mexican caught Nelson with a terrific right swing on the eye. He lifted the Dane clear ofi his feet. landing him on the top of his head. and before Nelson could struggle to his feet the crowd started immediately to leave the big pavilion Finally. at the count of two. the Dane eamely shook his head once or twice and rose to resume the battle. and, strange to say. he forced Her rera on the defensive after the most determined struggle that l have ever witnessed with Tn a tventy-fOur foot ring for the remaining time of one minute.
 Tn the ffth round Nelson broke one of the knnckles of his left hand and to that alone do I attribute the battle going the full distance. Every round after that Nelson did the fore Ing and daplieated just about what the pictures show iu the Nelson-Britt contest
 'I believe that the referee in the coming bout bstween those two vill count the fatal ten before the tven- tfeth round is over. The boat is billed any tine between May ard I2. during the Fiesta carnival. vhich lasts one week

BALL PLAYER CASSIDY DEAD.

Chester, Pa, March 26.-Joe Cassi- dy, the noted shortstop of the Wash intgon American league team, died in this city last night after seven weeks illness from a complication of diseases. Physicians who have been in attendance disagreed as to the malady. Cassidy was seized with an attack of malarial fever seven weeks ago, but he had greatly improved, and four weeks ago had come down stairs. The second attack started with a chill, and from that time the patient began to grow worse. Dr Brothers, his chief physician, stated last night that death resulted from blood poisoning of the anaemic order. Cassidy was secured by the Washing ton management from the Harris burg, Pa, independent team. He was the first man to make good without major league experience. The young star was 23 years of age. He was formerly a member of the Highland club, a crowd of amateurs who played on the open lots in this city. The fu- neral will take place on Wednesday and, a large number of the owners and fans from Washington will be present. The death of the young ball player, who was considered one of the greatest shortstops in the coun- try, has caused a shock in the base ball world, where he was very popu- lar.

THE DIAMOND.
JUST AS PREDICTED. THE HOO-
 DOGS ARE REVIVED.
Harry Durant With Friday and Thir- teen and Con Danaher With
 Twenty Three.

c. J. Danaher, owner of the New Haven team, announces that he will have twenty-three players when the proper time comes. The intrepid manager is tempting fate by using such number and 1t is hoped that 1t will not be 23 or skidoo, either, for the Elm City. The superstitious are predicting hard luck for Water bury, for the new club there is to open the season on Friday, and the 18th at that. If Danaher can pull through with twenty-three and Durant is successful by having an opening on the 18th they will de- serve success.
 MT Danaher has signed John J. Shea 0f Thomaston, pitcher. He is an old Eastern leaguer. Del Mur- ray of New York and A. E. Hamp- ton are other slab artists signed. J. D. Britt of St Johns, N B., will play first base for New Haven. Edward Fitzgerald, who was signed last year but failed to show up, is said to be willing to come this year He is first baseman and catcher. Dun Matteson of New York will be tried in the infield. E. J. Gibb vii; be given tryout in the box. San Franandrea will not play with New Haven this season.
 The New Haven magnate is not in favor of exhibition games and he said he did not believe he would have any. He will have the men play among themselves and he may get up few games with local clubs. MT Danaher is anxious to get good center fielder and if there is such d man at liberty he will hear some- thing to his advantage by applying to MT Danaher at his office in Meri- den.-hartford Courant.
