THE PUGlLlsTS
O'BRIEN AND TOMMY BURNS
 MAY MEET.
That is the Latest Fight Talked Off, Clever Abe Attell Wins
 Again.

Tommy Burns, the clever light heavyweight, who so decisiyely de feated Marvin Hart in San Francisco recently, is the most probable oppon- ent of O'Brien. T. J. McCarey of the Pacific Athletic club at Los Angeles, has already made an offer for a 20 round fight between the pair to be pulled off in Los Angeles on May 8. O'Brien has expressed willingness to meet the clever Canadian, and it is only in the matter of terms that he and McCarey differ. Jack thinks he should have 65 per cent. of the gate receipts.
 O'Brien has not altogether given up the idea of bringing Jeff out of re- tirement and he appears to be sin cere when he says he is ready to sign articles for such meeting and that he thinks he can beat the big cham pion.
 So far as go between O'Brien and Tommy Ryan is concerned Manager McCarey has said that it is all off. Ryan has refused to fight.

 That was severe punishment that was meted out to Donlin-suspens for one day and at time of the year when players are not drawing any pay, anyway.
 Freddie Parent thinks it was a mistake on the part of the Boston American management to release 1 Dougherty. Pat is said to be in fine form this spring. One of the first things he needs to shelve is his ten- dency to talk back to the bleachers.
 In the spring of 1900 Hiram col- lege of Ohio had battery consisting of one "Flopper" From and another one Frank Laporte, the latter now with Griffith. Laporte was catch CT then. and whatever may have been his academical standing he led his class in baseball.

 The weather in the south is fore ing both of the New York teams to a good deal of indoor work. There are plenty of gymnasiums right around New York.
 On account of malaria Manager Hanlon has been obliged to leave the Reds in the south and return to his home in Baltimore. It is said Han lon had malaria germs in his system before he went south. Joe Kelley will have charge of the men in Han Ions absence.

KRAMER OFF TO FRANCE.

When Champion Frank l.. Kramer sailed for France last week on the Hamburg-American liner Deutschland ten of his friends braved the icy blasts of Hoboken and saw him off.
 q do not think I will have any diff ficulty in beating the best of them in Europe this year." said Kramer at the boat. "I have been resting all winter while the cracks on the other side have been riding all the time. Of course I am now considerably over weight but will soon whip into shape after landing. The only man I am the least bit afraid of is Poulain, and from what I hear, he is off edge. Pou- lain has been riding in the south of France all winter and he will learn sooner or later that bicycle rider must have some rest.
 T think I will change from a 96- inch gear to a 92-inch, because one can make a quicker jump with the smaller gear. The style of racing oil the other side is to loaf the greater part of the distance and then light ning-like sprint to the tape. I never felt better in my life and think I can show Poulain some points in jumping this year.
 "Will you stay for the worlds championships?' the champion was asked.
 Well, I am not sure yet. All my friends are anxious for me to win the title so later I may decide to go to Switzerland. would much rather re- turn and ride here though. As to Law son being offered contract to meet me in matches in Paris have not heard anything about it but if he wants to come over I shall certainly try to accommodate him. No, Jack Neville is not going to train me abroad and I am sorry, for I thought until last night the would change his decis- ion and go. He has been sick and is afraid to brave the ocean voyage and the terrors of French dishes"

 The principal subject for discussion will be the proposed baseball schedule which list was unofficially sent out on March 12 and caused numberless kicks from Waterbury, New London and others on account of the long jumps.
 Since this first schedule was issued Sid Challenger of the Bridgeport Post who handled the job, has been in con stant communication with the differ ent managers, regarding changes they are anxious to have go into effect and he has drafted a new schedule which will be presented today and which it is thought will be adopted
