too much for Phil Logan at the Wash-
5ington Sporting Club last night, but not
enough for tile spectators.
The flght-foIlowers who love slaughter
were out in. force. They wanted gore and
destruction, not cleyerness. and hooted
Attell because he did not put Logan
away.
1t did seem as, though Abe were fight
ing under wraps. for though he hit Lo-
gan times innumeraEle, II was only oc-
casionally that the. blows seemed to
shake the Philadelphia.
But while no damage marked the bout,
.Attell showed enough of that form which
makes him without compare IN the ring
to-day as far as cleverness goes. He
utterly bewildered. he STEPPED out Of tho
way Of enough swings to put away a
regiment OF men. He didn't go back far,
just enough to let the blows brush harm
out OF Logan's face like the darting
tongue of a serpent Sometimes he land
ed as many as half dozen In row
without getting atreturn.
Attell's Judgment of distance gave him
Pill the better of the first two rounds.
Logan. missed many Wild swings.
In the third: Attell began using his
on Logan's wLad. but the blows did no
damage. In the fourth he sent home a
hard right to tho heart;
Cntl tue HntH, Logan nad noS landed q

Especial to Tho Times-D ispatch.)
PHILADELPHLA, PA, March 2O.-The
famous Corinthian Football Club OF
London, has decided TO send team to.
the United States and Canada to play a
series OF games during next August and
September. The news will be hailed
with. delight by soccer enthusiasts in;
Philadelphia, as the. Corinthians are able
to put in the field tho strongest amateur
team in the world, and will play. Kerc.
The Pilgrims, who were here last fall.
would not be able to hold their own with
Corinthians. and in fact, Queens Park,
Glasgow, Is the only amateur team in
Great Britain capable of giving them a
good game, and even they have been.
twice defeated this season by the Lon
doners. the score in each instance being
two goals to one. *
AS the amateur teams are no match for
the Corinthians. they arrange a schedule
of games with the best professional teams
In England. against which they frequent-
" prove successful.
The membership In the club Is confined
to fifty players, who are either graduates
or undergraduates of the universities OF
Oxford and Cambridge, or graduates of
the public schools.
The. tour will commence in Canada and
probably wind up in Philadelphia, where
two games will be played with teams
representing All Philadelphia and the AS
ISOLATED Cricket Clubs.
