BAT TIES
OF 'PRizE-F|GHTERS
Abe Attell Gets Big-Money End
OF the Prospective Fight
With Moran.
n1 JEFF THOMPSON.

NEW YORK, December 14.-Abe At
tell is not only d fighter OF rare ability,
but he has the money sense welt de.
veloped. This was demonstrated by
the mar or in which he played his
cards with Jimmy Coffroth. Since
Owen Moran beat frankie Neil so
handily Il fight between tho little
Englshman and the featherwefght
champion was in demand. Coffroth
wanted the fight and Attell had pref
ty good idea as to just how bad he
wanted 1t, and about how much there
ought to be- In 1t. He held out for
his full share. and he will get 1t. I
can see where he is right It does look
absurd for scrap of fellow, whose
brains are in his fists. to get the salary
of college president for few weeks
exercise and an hours hard work. but
so long as the public is willing to pay
for IL don't see why the fellow that
fights should not get at least as much
as the promoters.
I understand the winner Of the At
tell-Moran scrap VIII have other bust
ness on his hands at once Jem Dris-
coll, I understand. Is on his way here
looking for trouble. Driscoll beat
Bowker. who had previously beaten out
Champion frankie Neil. 1t is fact
that Moran has very little to say about
Driscoll.
He kept harping on the fact that he
was behind Bowker the night that he
beat Neil, and that he got the idea OF
going into the Americans tent and
kicking up a rumpus from that nights
observations.
Probably Attell will be the man to
meet Driscoll.
Burns ind johnson.
Burns Is to meet Johnson. il any
club will offer big enough purse and
the big smoke don't kid at the terms.
Good. My opinion of Johnson as
fighter is pretty well known by the
readers of this column. If am mis-
taken in my estimate of him would
like to knoweit. A fight with Burns
would pretty we'll establish his status.

George b. CoItelyon, secretary Of the
treasury, tormely collector of tainted
contributions for the republican cam
paign purposes, has rushed TO the all Of
the New York money market, or to he
more truthful, the New York stock
market. 1t requires none and plenty
OF 1t to carry on the most gigantic
gambling game i'll the world, and when.
ever the purse strings are frightened the
the gamblers, through their irenis, the
bankers, descend on the secretary OF the
treasury and flood him with piteous
appeals for more stake money.
AZ a result Of their ciamor those
national banks thRt we're required by
law to retire IA part of their additional
circulation during this month have been
relieved OF the Obligation. Mr.. Cortelyou
has alao announced that he will redeem
at once S2J. 100000 az United States 1
per cent bonds which do net mature I'm.
til July l and viii pay interest on ;hem "
to the date OF maturity. In other words
he will make a present to the banks OF
three and oue-hali nonths' interest
which they have no! earned. BY other
minor means he will cnlcuvor to restore
The big roulette Wheel Of the Nav York
stock exchange to it's CORNER peaceful
whirl. 1t costs Uncle Sam something
to do all this, but the gamblers need the
money.
All this to prevent a "panic But
why a pnnic? The country was never
ning at top speed mud behind in their
orders. Railroads and water Ways are
cboked with transportation. All the
arteries Of ommerc are t%hrobbing with
electric life, and every indication points
to an -early harvest and a plenteous
yenr.' The corn i'll the cribs and the
cotton III the bales are worth Just ns
much as they were n week ago. Then
why this tumbliug in the prices Of
stocksy Simply because certain gumb-
lcrs forcsaw Il slight contraction OF the
currency and TOOK advantage OF it to
hammer their brothers who were on the
other side of the market. 1t is n lie to
speak Of such a condition ms an "indus-
trial crisis" Genuine industries are
not b0thcrIng their heads u bit. The
Hurry affects only the iicti Jus values,
