Brooklyn Boy Seeks
Featherweight Title
Tommy Sullivan After Another Match
With Abe AtteIl, Whom He
Once Defeated.

Beyond question Tommy sullivan,
the red.topped Brooklyn boy who for
some years has been employed as box
ing instructor of the Missouri Athletic
club in st. Louis, has better right to
ask for battle with Abe Attell for
the foatherweight title than any other
man in that class. The reason is that
Sullivan has to his credit knockout
OF Attell in five rounds. The bout
took place in st. Louis In 1904, and
naturally. like nearly all boxers who
have been knocked out, Attell insists
that II was not fairly done. II was a
vigorous left-hand uppercnt in the pit
of the stomach that settled Attell in
The NTH round, and the beaten man
insisted that the blow was foul. Ac.
cording TO the historians of the bout
Attell was overconiident when he
went into the ring and. being at his
best, lie had decided first to cut up his
man and then to knock him ont.
Attell tried tn take liberties with
Sullivan in order TO discredit him with
the crowd, but he soon found he could

Trickery Squelched !
in Baseball Drafting
National Commission Forbids Major
Leagues to Take Players from s
Minor League Clubs.

Important changes in the rules for
drafting minor league players have
been made by the national baseball
commission. At the request of the
Pacific Coast league the national
agreement is changed so that here
after the drafting period in that
league shall begin and end at the same
period as the drafting period in alb
other minor leagues, to wit. Septem
Der | to October Is of each year.
In order fully to protect the prop.
erty rights of minor league clubs and
TO prevent the drafting of players con.
trary TO the spirit of the national
agreement the following new rule was
adopted:
Rule a5-Whenever major league
club has secured a minor league play.
or by draft, it shall not be permissible
for such major league club within
ono year after having secured such
player by draft to release the player
to any other club in the same class

speed enough TO Offset the famous

champion to the iab aud, ducking nm

This was what happened In the
fifth round when both men came TO

Old Baseball story.

Some odd things occur In the

with the Enid team in Oklahoma"
says Walter Franz. the pitcher, "and
the rivalry between orr nine and the
club at El Reno was something fierce.
The two teams met to settle the
championship OF the territory, and
score stood 2 to 2 In the fourteenth
inning. We were last at bat. One
man was down and there was man
on first when | came to bat. The
man on first had game leg and
couldn't run very fast | hit for a
home run. The man on first started
for second and ! tore down the base
lines on my way round the circuit.
The other runner fell near second and
! passed him and reached home, but
before he got 10 the plate the ball
was. relayed in and he was touched
out. The umpire decided that my rnn
counted and we won the game. Talk
about riots--the El Paso players were
crazy mad. They mobbed the umpire,
who was pretty husky farmer lad,
and he looked like a rag struck by
lightning when the crowd got through
with him. I have heard u good
deal OF arguments among seasoned
ball players as 10 whether my run
counted What 4 your opinion?"
