Donohue and Jimmy Burns have been
selected to fill in the evening Oh the zoth
of November, and as there will be plenty
of racing people in town then they snouiu
draw one large house. The Boston
firhter is said to be Jimmy's match at
the smuggling game, and also to possess
his own fair share OF gameness, ana
good battle should result.
There were no developments in the
Attel-Week talkfest yesterday Able
still holding out for the main chance and
letting everything else go by the board.
Manager Durand was also obstinate,
and could not be moved from what ne
Justly considers his rights.
Weeks at Arcadia
Weeks spent the entire day at Arcadia
with his manager, and neither made
move toward conciliating Attell and lay
ing down to the proposition he has ad-
NIL N..fv@ Y1lan
that the public is with them in the pres
ent instance, and unless Attell comes
through today there will be no fight.
AL Greenewald had long talk with
Able over the telephone yesterday, but
the champion would give him no satisfac-
ton. 'I know what 1 want and I'm go
ing to get it." said Attell. II am cham
pion, and as champion am going to
dictate"
'aThats all right, Abe,' said Greene
wald. But you ought to have imposed
these terms at the time the match was
made"
.Well, didn't think of it then" was
Attelrs reply, and there the matter
dropped.
GreenewaId will visit Attell early this
morning and endeavor to talk him into
looking at things in their proper light.
AL will try to convince the champion that
he is in the wrong, and If there is moth
ing doing the match will be called off,
Preliminary Arranged
Arrangements for the battle went right
ahead at the offices of the Pacific Ath
letic club, and Jake Arnold and Tommy
Murray were matched as the first pre-
liminary to the Weeks-AtteH fight. The
other prelim has been settled for some
time, and now all that remains to in
sure the match is for Abe Attell to get
away from that main chance idea and be
reasonable.
Few of lie sports can figure out why
the champion is acting as he does The
mere fact that he desires to cut the
money so that the winner will receive
more than was called for In the original
articles of agreement seems to show that
he is confident of winning, but at that
1t is hard to say what is doing.
Perhaps the solution that was given in
The Herald few days ago will be the
answer. namely: that Attells vanity calls
for more recognition as champion than
he has been wont to receive. and he is
taking all kinds of chances at present to
get 1t.
Anyhow, the advertising derived from
the present squabble should be of some
worth, and every little bit helps-especial-
ly at the box office.
Who says Attell needs a manager?
