THE PUGILISTS
WILL JEFFRIES
 FIGHT AGAIN Report That He and Jack Johnson Will CIashNext Winter in
 Coldfield.

Philadelphia, Sept 18.--Is Jim Jeffries to be lured from his retire. ment? And, stranger still, is the turing to be done by negro? Such a thought Is almost unbelievable, and yet the whispers have started on the rounds that Jeffries is going to hook up with Jack Johnson, the negro, in a finish fight in the west.
 The first evidence that there is something doing is already forthcom- ing. This is found in the fact that Johnson has already got a manager, and the man who will look out for him is none other than Sam Fitzpat- rick, who has handled some good ones in his time.
 Fitzpatrick came here Saturday and looked up Johnson. The words which Sam spoke tickled the big negro, and in short time the pair had come to an agreement whereby Jack turned his affairs over to the white man.
 Fitzpatrick hasn't been talking much for publication, but once se- cret gets out the news travels fast. According to the rumors now going around, Fitzpatrick has received word from the West that Jeffries has agreed to break his long retirement and has consented to take on John- son. The bout, according to the story, is to be held at Goldf1eld, New, some time next winter.

ATTELL IS BACK.

New York, Sept 18.-Back from the wild and woolly west, Abe Attell arrived yesterday staggering under the weight of the handsomest pugil. istic belt that has been seen on Broadway in many day.
 The belt, which is of red, white and blue satin, has a gold buckle that cost $500, and the whole thing is emblematic of the featherweight championship. It was to be won three times under the conditions oi T. J. McCary, the giver. who runs the fight club out in Los Angeles Attell has already won it that many times, for in battles for the title he whipped Frankie Neil and Carse, twice.
 Looking the picture of health and in condition to put up rattling good fight on about fifteen minutes no. tice, Attell arrived from Chicago yes. terday morning principally to sec about the proposed match with Terry McGovern.
 It didn't take him long after ar. irving here to decide that the fighi WdS uuIuls WOTLu Whllc. hb tueTt can be nothing in a fight with Nc. Govern except the money for At. tell, he refused to take any chances in a six round bout before a Quaker City club unless he got a guarantee that the purse would be worth $3,. 500.
 If McGovern will agree to fight al catch weights, but get on the scales and announce his weight, just as At. tell will do. Abe will fight without a guarantee. being satisfied with a per. centage. If 1t is to be at 126 pounds however, Attell will demand the s.. 500, win, lose or draw.
 Joe Humphreys, who is looking out for McGovern. and in this par. ticular instance representing the Ma. tional club of Philadelphia. wired to that city to see if the club would guarantee the amount Attell asked for. Up to late last night he had re- ceived no answer. and did not expect

BRISTOL MAY COME IN.
Talk of Buying Out the New London
 Franchise.

Bristol, Sept 1s.-There Is a movement on foot for Bristol to enter the State league next season. after being out in the cold for five seasons. The news that such a pos sibility is in store for Bristol will be received with rejoicing in the town. for there Is just as much base ball enthusiasm here as there ever vas. and a good deal more support in store for a good team when one Is put in the field. When Bristol was thrown out of the league in the fan of 1901. after it had trimmed all the teams of the state and won the pen nanf. there vas the sorest kind of feeling here that hasn't yet been eliminated. but if the town could enter the league again all would be eradIcafed in short order. There is a strong probability that New Lon don will not enter next years league and it is said that an offer has been made to Bristol of the New London frsnehise for the sum of $500 There is nobody in town willing to give that anount for fho Nsu Loa- 6sn francAiss e sny o(hsr.

 It is not at all probable that "Andie' Stein the old Cadet tackle will get back into harness.

 University of California and Le- land Sanford undergraduates are said to regard the substitution of Rugby for the American game on the coast coldly. though Coach flanagan of Leland Stanford Is in favor of Rugby.
 It is thought in the west that Yost, of Michigan, will shift his crack end. Garrels. to halfback this year. Car rel's speed. strength and Quickness are reckoned on to make him a sec ond Heston If he goes behind the line.
 Joe Daly and Joe Walsh. both old High school ends are out for the All Waterbury team. Daly was captain of the team in 1e02. and Walsh p:ay-d a star game in 1904. He also played end on Niagara last season and did ex- ceIlent work.

EASTERN LEAGUE STANDING.
BASEBALL NOTES.

The Giants had 1t rubbed into them bit when the New ark Eastern leaguers shut them out to o in an exhibition game.
 Minor league managers must have their lists of reserved players de- posted with Secretary Farrell before next Monday.
 The big leaguers are having hard luck in their exhibition games this season. Yesterday the Cumberland (Md) team trimed Cincinnati : to 1.
 Clarence Lowell, the Lynn third baseman. is a plump specimen of hu- manity. The Lynn fans were never tired of comparing him with Fatty Lord.
 The drawing power of the Spring field team is evinced by the fact that the players cleared over $50 each out of the last weeks games in Wor- cester and Lynn.
 There is talk of a post-season series between the penant winners in the Eastern leagu and western associa- ton to decide the championship of the minor leagues.
 Rumors are in the air that the Tri- State has opened negotiations with J. Fl. Farrell. secretary of the national baseball commission. with a view to coming under the national agree ment next year.
 The leading hitters in the Ameri- can league for the last five years have ben: 1901. Napoleon Laioie. .4aa; 1soa. Eddie DeIehanty. .37s: 1903, Napoleon Lsjoie. .355; 1904. Napoleon Lajoie, .3s1. 1905. Ma poleon Laioie. .33s.
 It is said that Tony Pastor. of Lynn, is the only New England league player to more than once work the stunt Of taking two bases on a sacrifice. Joe Connor and Al- tiger had that stunt down to perfec- ton two seasons ago.
 The 800 hitters in the National league are: DOnlin. New York. .35l: : Wagner. PittsburE. .344: Lumley. Brooklyn. .ss2: steinfeidt. Chicago .32s; ward. Philadelphia. .s.f: Lo- bert. Cincinnati. .314.

 Interest.

Springfield, Sept 1S.-The Lynn team showed that it can win victories on other fields as we'll as on its own turf when 1t took the Ponies into camp, 4 to 2, yesterday. The in- vaders from the city by the salt sea waves played with snap and vim, and barring couple of slip-ups on easy chances, offered a fast fielding ex- hibition from start to finish. The Ponies made it nip and tuck for six innings, but Lynn nosed ahead on an error and pair of hits while Spring field could not get runner beyond first base. The score:
 Lynn ......... 020110-4 Springfield .... 900 10100 0-2

Jack O'Brien certainly has got his Philadelphia friends puzzled. First he started away to pick up part of a $15,00O purse in Australia for fighting Bill SQuires. Jack gets to Chicago and there 1t is announced that he signed to meet Sam Berger in Frisco. A few days later O'Brien gets to the coast, receives an offer of $2O,0O0 to fight Tommy Burns, decides to take on the Canadian and cancels his trip to Kangarooland.
